  1. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • Slide your pick around the corner and up the left edge of the phone, moving towards the volume control buttons and silent switch, breaking up the adhesive holding the display in place.

    • Stop near the top left corner of the display.

    • 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 Top Left Antenna 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 Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Pull on the small nub on the suction cup to remove it from the front panel.

    • Slide an opening pick underneath the display along the top edge of the phone to loosen the last of the adhesive.

  12. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 12, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Slide the display assembly slightly down (away from the top edge of the phone) to disengage the clips holding it to the rear case.

    • 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.

  14. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the lower display cable bracket.

  15. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the point of a spudger to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Bend the connector cable up slightly to prevent it from accidentally making contact with the socket and providing power to the phone during your repair.

  16. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement, Display Assembly: stap 17, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement, Display Assembly: stap 17, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the tip of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the large lower display connector by prying it straight up from its socket.

    • To re-attach press connectors like this one, press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Do not press down on the middle. If the connector is even slightly misaligned, the connector can bend, causing permanent damage.

  17. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Disconnect the second lower display cable connector, directly behind the one you disconnected in the previous step.

  18. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 19, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 19, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Remove the two tri-point Y000 screws securing the bracket over the front panel sensor assembly connector:

    • One 1.0 mm screw

    • One 1.2 mm screw

  19. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 20, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the bracket covering the front panel sensor assembly connector.

  20. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 21, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 21, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the tip of a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front panel sensor assembly connector from its socket.

  21. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 1 van 1
  22. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement, Top Left Antenna: stap 23, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove three Phillips screws securing the upper left antenna component:

    • Two 1.3 mm screws

    • One 3.1 mm screw

  23. iPhone 8 Plus Top Left Antenna Replacement: stap 24, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the 1.3 mm Phillips screw securing the antenna component to the top edge of the rear case.

    • The screw boss at the top of the antenna component is tucked into a small recess in the top edge of the iPhone.

    • Tilt the antenna component up towards the top of the phone.

    • Slide the screw boss down and out of its recess.

    • Remove the top left antenna component.

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.
