iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement

Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, Pentalobe Screws: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Remove the two 3.5 mm pentalobe screws from the bottom edge of the iPhone.

    • Opening the iPhone's display will compromise its waterproof seals. Have replacement seals ready before you proceed past this step, or take care to avoid liquid exposure if you reassemble your iPhone without replacing the seals.

  2. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, Opening Procedure: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Heating the lower edge of the iPhone will help soften the adhesive securing the display, making it easier to open.

    • Use a hairdryer or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the iPhone for about 90 seconds in order to soften up the adhesive underneath.

  3. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: stap 3, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement, Anti-Clamp instructions: stap 3, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • The next two steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down two steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle towards the hinge to disengage opening mode.

    • Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone just above the home button—one on the front, and one on the back.

    • Push down on the cups to apply suction to the desired area.

    • If you find that the surface of your device is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use packing tape to create a grippier surface.

    • Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.

    • Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned to each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

    • Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and for the bottom of the screen to open.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle clockwise half a turn.

    • Don't crank more than a half a turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next two steps.

  5. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Apply a suction cup to the lower half of the front panel, just above the home button.

    • Be sure the suction cup does not overlap with the home button, as this will prevent a seal from forming between the suction cup and front glass.

    • If your display is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

  6. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 6, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the front panel and rear case.

    • Insert an opening pick or other thin pry tool a few millimeters into the gap.

    • The watertight adhesive holding the display in place is very strong; creating this initial gap takes a significant amount of force. If you're having a hard time opening a gap, apply more heat, and gently rock the screen up and down to weaken the adhesive until you create enough of a gap to insert your tool.

    • Re-insert your tool at the lower right corner of the iPhone, and slide it around the corner and up the right side of the phone to separate the adhesive.

    • Don't insert the pick very far, or you may damage the display cables along this side of the iPhone. Insert it only a few millimeters, or about the width of the display bezel.

  9. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 9, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Gently pull up on the suction cup to lift up the bottom edge of the display.

    • Do not raise the display more than 15º or you'll risk straining or tearing the ribbon cables connecting the display.

  10. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

    • Open the iPhone by swinging the display up from the left side, like the back cover of a book.

    • Don't try to fully separate the display yet, as several fragile ribbon cables still connect it to the iPhone's logic board.

    • Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

    • Remove four Phillips (JIS) screws securing the lower display cable bracket to the logic board, of the following lengths:

    • Two 1.3 mm screws

    • One 1.4 mm screw

    • One 2.7 mm screw

    • Throughout this guide, keep careful track of your screws so that each one goes back where it came from during reassembly. Installing a screw in the wrong place can cause permanent damage.

  72. iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 75, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 75, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone 8 Plus Lightning Connector Assembly Replacement: stap 75, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • A rubber gasket on the bottom of the Lightning connector protects your iPhone from liquid and dust intrusion. If you are installing a new Lightning connector assembly, you may need to carefully remove and transfer the gasket to the new part.

    • The small adhesive patch on the bottom of each microphone also protects your iPhone from liquid and dust intrusion. For best results, replace the two adhesive patches before installing your Lightning connector assembly.

    • Important: During installation, correctly position your new Lightning connector assembly so that the cutouts in the cable are exactly centered around the four screw bosses in the rear case. Otherwise, the flex cable will be misaligned and you won't be able to reconnect it to its socket on the logic board.

Conclusie

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

40 minutes seems crazy fast for this repair. If anyone can do this entire repair from beginning to end utilizing these steps in 40 minutes… they should spend a day or two practicing the Rubik’s cube and go smash the world record.

The guide helped me accomplish the repair. So, for that, thank you very much.

Very well done and easy to follow. Great piece of work and I appreciate the time spent putting it all together.

Have repaired 2 other iPhones, 6 and 6S, using the guides found here. When confronted with the iPhone 8 plus repair this is the site I came to.

Again, very well done indeed.

Kudos
