Beyond Bending Tell You How
If you’re looking to fix a problem with your iPhone 6 or simply want to replace a part, taking it apart is necessary. However, it can be a daunting task if you’re not familiar with the process. This guide will walk you through step-by-step on how to take apart an iPhone 6.
Gather the Necessary Tools
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary tools. You will need a pentalobe screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, plastic opening tool, suction cup, and tweezers.
Step 1: Power Off the iPhone
Before taking apart your iPhone 6, make sure it’s turned off. Hold down the power button and slide to power off.
Step 2: Remove the Pentalobe Screws
Using the pentalobe screwdriver, remove the two screws located on either side of the charging port.
Step 3: Use the Suction Cup
Place the suction cup on the screen, just above the home button. Gently pull up on the suction cup to create a small gap between the screen and the frame.
Step 4: Use the Plastic Opening Tool
Insert the plastic opening tool into the gap created by the suction cup. Slowly and gently slide the tool around the edge of the iPhone, separating the screen from the frame.
Step 5: Disconnect the Cables
Once the screen is loose, gently lift it from the bottom and swing it upwards to reveal the cables that connect it to the motherboard. Use the plastic opening tool to disconnect the cables by prying them up gently.
Step 6: Remove the Phillips Screws
Using the Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the metal plate covering the motherboard.
Step 7: Disconnect More Cables
Use the plastic opening tool to gently disconnect the remaining cables from the motherboard.
Step 8: Remove the Motherboard
Once all cables are disconnected, gently lift the motherboard from the bottom and slide it out of the iPhone.
Step 9: Remove Other Components
If necessary, use the plastic opening tool and tweezers to remove any other components, such as the battery or camera.
Step 10: Reassemble the iPhone
To reassemble your iPhone 6, simply follow these steps in reverse order. Make sure all cables are securely connected and screws are tightened.
By following these steps, you can take apart an iPhone 6 without damaging any components. However, if you’re uncomfortable with the process, it’s recommended to take your iPhone to a professional for repairs.
