Wat je nodig hebt

  1. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Removing the Pentalobe screws: stap 1, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Before you proceed, 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 3.9 mm Pentalobe screws from either side of Lightning connector.

    • If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.

    • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.

    • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

    • In the following steps you will be pulling the display up out of the phone body. The display is composed of a glass screen and a plastic bezel with metal clips.

    • Regardless of the tool you use, you need to be sure you pull up the entire display.

    • If the glass begins to separate from the plastic, as shown in the first image, slide a plastic opening tool between the plastic frame and the metal phone body to pry the metal clips out of the case.

    • If you are reassembling a phone with a separated display bezel, you may want to place a thin strip of adhesive between the plastic bezel and the glass to keep the phone closed.

    • 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 backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.

    • 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.

    • Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.

    • If the surface of your iPhone is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use the included tape pad to create a grippier surface.

  5. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 5, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Pull the blue handle forwards to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

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

    • 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, rotate the handle a quarter turn.

    • Don't crank more than a quarter turn at a time and wait a few seconds between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next two steps.

  6. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Manual Opening Procedure: stap 6, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • If you don't have an Anti-Clamp, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel:

    • Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.

    • Be sure the cup is completely on the screen to get a tight seal.

  7. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Start lifting the front panel assembly: stap 7, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • The front panel is attached with clips, and there are several ribbon cables connecting it to the rest of the phone. Your goal here is to release the clips and open the phone only enough to disconnect the cables. Go slowly and carefully to avoid damage.

    • Make sure the suction cup is firmly attached to the front panel assembly near the home button.

    • While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the home button end of the front panel from the rear case.

    • With a plastic opening tool, gently pry the edges of the rear case down, away from the front panel assembly, while you pull up with the suction cup.

    • Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The front panel assembly is a much tighter fit than on most other devices.

  8. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 8, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 8, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Do not try to completely remove the front panel assembly from the rear case, as there are several delicate ribbon cables connecting them.

    • Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup.

    • Remove the suction cup from the screen.

  9. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Removing the Touch ID cable bracket: stap 9, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Removing the Touch ID cable bracket: stap 9, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Removing the Touch ID cable bracket: stap 9, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Open the phone just enough to reveal the metal bracket covering the home button cable.

    • Do not open the phone too far or you risk damaging the home button cable, or the socket it plugs into. Keep the cable loose—if it is stretched taut, that's too far.

    • Only the phone's original home button assembly will be capable of using the Touch ID functionality. If you rip the cable, installing a new home button will only restore ordinary home button functions, not the Touch ID features.

    • Use the tip of a spudger to push the bracket free and remove it with tweezers.

    • The next two steps apply to reassembly. Skip them and continue to Step 12 until reassembly.

  10. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 10, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • During reassembly, you will need to reinstall the Touch ID cable bracket. The top of the bracket needs to slide between the battery and Touch ID cable connector, in front of the metal tab. The bottom must latch down over the connector.

    • Slide the top of the bracket over the Touch ID cable connector from left to right.

  11. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 11, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 11, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • During reassembly, use the flat end of a spudger to snap the front portion of the Touch ID cable bracket down over the cable connector.

    • If the bracket does not snap down flush, you may need to remove the bracket and slide it over the cable connector again for a better fit.

  12. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Disconnecting the home button cable connector: stap 12, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Disconnecting the home button cable connector: stap 12, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the tip of a spudger to pry the home button cable connector up out of its socket.

    • Be sure you're separating the cable connector from its socket, and not prying the entire socket up. The socket is on its own glued-down cable that can be pried up if you aren't careful.

  13. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Opening up the phone: stap 13, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Opening up the phone: stap 13, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Opening up the phone: stap 13, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • Once the connector has been released, pull the home button end of the assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge.

    • Open the display to about a 90º angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

    • Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.

    • In a pinch, you can use an unopened canned beverage to hold the display.

  14. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 14, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the two 1.6 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the metal battery connector bracket to the logic board.

  15. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 15, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the metal battery connector bracket from the iPhone.

  16. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 16, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the flat end of a spudger to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Be very careful to only pry up on the battery connector itself and not the socket on the logic board. If you pry up on the logic board socket or the board itself, you may destroy the socket or damage nearby components on the board.

  17. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 17, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the following screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket to the logic board:

    • One 1.7 mm Phillips #000 screw

    • One 1.2 mm Phillips #000 screw

    • One 1.3 mm Phillips #000 screw

    • One more 1.7 mm Phillips #000 screw

    • This 1.7 mm screw tends to not be attracted to a magnetized screwdriver. Take care not to lose it when removing.

    • It is especially important to keep track of your screws in this step for reassembly. Accidentally using the 1.3 mm screw or one of the 1.7 mm screws in the bottom right hole will result in significant damage to the logic board causing the phone to no longer boot properly.

    • Be careful not to over-tighten the screws, and don't force them. If they don't fit easily when you are securing them, they may be the wrong size.

  18. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 18, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the front panel assembly cable bracket from the logic board.

  19. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 19, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 19, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the front-facing camera and sensor cable.

  20. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 20, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 20, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Make sure the battery is disconnected before you disconnect or reconnect the cable in this step.

    • Disconnect the LCD cable connector.

    • When reassembling your phone, the LCD cable may pop off the connector. This can result in white lines or a blank screen when powering your phone back on. If that happens, simply reconnect the cable and power cycle your phone. The best way to power cycle your phone is to disconnect and reconnect the battery.

  21. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 21, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 21, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Finally, disconnect the digitizer cable connector.

  22. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the front panel assembly from the rear case.

  23. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement, Earpiece Speaker: stap 23, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the two screws securing the upper component bracket:

    • 4.0 mm Phillips #000

    • 2.3 mm Phillips #000

    • It is imperative that the right screws are inserted into their respective holes. Otherwise it may cause severe damage to the LCD during reassembly.

    • Orient the phone as shown, with the home button on top and the earpiece speaker on bottom.

    • Gently dislodge the clip, near the bottom left corner of the earpiece speaker bracket, outwards from its recess on the front panel assembly.

    • Do not pry with excessive force, as the earpiece speaker bracket is fragile and malleable.

    • With a set of tweezers, shift the bracket to the left to unclip it.

  25. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 25, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the bracket from the display.

  26. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 26, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 26, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Remove the earpiece speaker with a set of tweezers.

    • If you use your fingers, be very careful not to touch the gold contacts on the front panel. Finger oil can prevent good contact.

  27. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 1 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 2 van 3 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 27, afbeelding 3 van 3
    • To replace the earpiece speaker, it is easiest to install the speaker and bracket together:

    • Place the earpiece speaker bracket over the speaker so that it fits snugly in its housing.

    • Slide the left hook of the bracket into the notch above the top left corner of the front facing camera.

    • Rotate the bracket so it lays flat on the rear case, aligning the two screw holes. Press the bracket into place, ensuring the hook on the right side of the metal bracket latches onto the display.

    • This step requires removing the front facing camera and sensor cable from your front panel assembly.

    • The front facing camera and sensor cable is adhered to the display assembly with mild adhesive.

    • Using an iOpener to soften the adhesive will help safely remove it. Follow our iOpener instructions to use it.

  29. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 29, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 29, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Using the edge of a set of tweezers or a metal spudger, gently pry the earpiece speaker contact cable up, to separate this portion of the camera and sensor cable from the adhesive below.

    • Only pry directly under the earpiece speaker contacts—there are sensors and microchips that can be damaged by prying elsewhere.

  30. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 30, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 30, afbeelding 2 van 2
    • Use the point of a spudger to lift the ambient light sensor and proximity sensor out of their recess in the display assembly.

    • There is a small, square plastic and metal holder for the proximity sensor. This holder is essential for the proximity sensor to function correctly.

    • If replacing the proximity sensor make sure that the holder remains adhered to the back of the display. If it comes off with the old proximity sensor, remove it from the old sensor and use a tiny bit of adhesive to re-attach it to the back of the display.

  31. iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 31, afbeelding 1 van 2 iPhone SE Front Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement: stap 31, afbeelding 2 van 2

Remember that iPhone 5s and iPhone SE frontflex is different. If you use iP5s frontflex the frontcam microphone will not work.

mortenbornes - Antwoord

Yes I did experience this…… But where can be found the SE specific flex???

Riccardo Mancini -

Any idea on where to get the iPhone SE specific part?

Andrew White - Antwoord

I have successfully transferred my SE flex cable from it’s screen assembly onto a 5s screen assembly that I will be using on my SE.

I found that starting with peeling the tape of the lcd shield plate is a much faster and easier way of getting the entire thing off. In one go even. Just make sure to do it gently. I have done it successfully while removing the 5s cable but when removing the SE I accidentally ripped the tape off. Thankfully it does not need to be attached directly to the cable to be used the same way it was.

The metal case for the proximity sensor came off but thankfully it is rally easy to just put it back where it was with the adhesive that was already on.

Alexander - Antwoord

Part number 821-1613-A is for both iPhone 5s and SE, according to many sellers and experts. But the front microphone (selfie microphone) won't work on an SE if you use the cable from a 5s screen. Yet the part number is the same. Anyone encounter this?
