Thank you, fixed my sticky keys / juice spill damage.

Mine also had a aluminum shielding. No particular impact on the repair. ust removed it by unscrewing two lower screws.

Thanks great guide. Managed to confirm I've got the same fault in 5 minutes thanks to your guide. Unfortunately I've not got any friends with spare parts for my headphones ?

Completed after 10-15 reassemblies. I’d not have done it again. Problems I had include: 1. Ghosting. 2. Home button lose twice. 3. Home button failure. 4. Screen not setting properly. Advice A. Get the following: A1. Tape 3M for attaching screen properly, A2. Non conducting tape apply all copper sides on the digitalizer, I used a utility knife and a plastic ruler to cut it to size after applying. A3. Get the jewelry glue and secure home button bracket or reinforce, it will come lose easily.

I recommend testing the USB C flex cable assembly before you reassemble the phone. As soon as it’s connected to the upper connector and the battery is plugged in the phone should be charging. Mine was broken from the factory but I went to a great local repair shop and got a new one, the guy said 1 out of 15 is broken from the factory. Great tutorial, successful repair.

The battery was glued in really firmly. I ended up pulling it out with a plier and had some smoke and sparks, luckily I had made sure to drain it completely prior to repair.
