In a phone, it's even worse because many of the screws are the size of a pinhead. That's bad enough in an engine cover or doorjamb. The thing that set me back time and again was the familiar nemesis of any mechanic or handyman: stripped screws. The video instructions for the kits were fairly easy to follow. The glue on the home button's cable attached to the new screen without a problem, and cables for other components snapped into place. Next, I had to transfer those components to the new phone. So far, so good-I figured I'd be done with the project by lunch. The button and its cable popped right off. This made me a little nervous, but the trick worked quite well.
iCracked advises using a hair dryer to gently soften it. There’s also adhesive involved, holding the home button in place. 1: Some of these components are tiny and very fragile, and it takes a decent amount of pressure to pry them out.

The iPhone 6 isn’t designed to be watertight like more recent iPhone models, and its outer shell is basically held together with a few screws.Īn iPhone's home button, front-facing camera, sensors, and microphone are all attached to the screen, so I had to remove those components from the broken iPhone and install them on the new one. The phone opened up without much trouble. (The company also makes house calls to fix iPhones for about $80 and up depending on your phone model and location.)Īfter watching a 30-minute demonstration video, I set to work. I started with a $50 kit from a smartphone repair company called iCracked.
