iPhone 8 screen replacement guide for this replacement we're going to need a white tip double zero or triple zero screwdriver a basic Phillips head double zero or triple zero screwdriver a [Music] pentalobe proprietary screwdriver a set of tweezers a plastic prying tool for prying connections apart a suction cup for prying the screen apart as well as a triangular plastic tool and also a metallic tool to pry the screen apart go ahead and power down the phone if you haven't powered it down yet make sure it's completely off now near the charging port locate the two pentalobe screws and use the pentalobe screws screwdriver to remove the 2 screws if the screen is badly damaged use a piece of packing tape to create a nice and smooth surface for the suction cup to get suction without the smooth surface the suction cup won't be able to get grip and it won't work as intended place the suction cup as close as you can to the home button now go ahead and pick up the phone and pinch it from both sides with your fingers and tug on the suction cup as you see here now take the metallic prying tool or any sharp tool you could use a utility knife if you had to and just sneak it in right below the home button make sure to go really gently and slightly in and then tilt it left to right to get the separation going the screen is glued in around the edge with waterproof tape use the plastic pig to separate the screen once you got the crack going because you don't want to scratch up the phone frame with the metallic tool now run down the pic on both sides something to note make sure not to go too deeply and because on the right side of the phone there are two cable connections that are extremely fragile if you go too deep in you can damage them once both sides are separated go ahead and tilt the screen left to right to loosen up the top just a little bit and now what you want to do is you want to take the plastic pick and try to separate the top portion if that doesn't work out go ahead use the sharper one be careful you can scratch up the frame here so go really slow use the sharp metallic tool to make the separation of top and separate the tape now go ahead and just crack it open and it should fold out just like a book there are two connections on the right side you want to fold it out gently you don't want to damage those connections okay now we need to separate the phone from the screen we'll start with the top camera connection cable go ahead and remove the shield that's secured with three Phillips head screws remove the three folks head screws as shown then you can gently lift up and move the shield out of the way that will expose the camera connection with a plastic prying tool we'll go ahead and just pop it up from underneath and it should come right out now go ahead and shift down to the second connection that's guarded by a shield that's secured with four Phillips head screws go ahead and remove those four Phillips head screws make sure to keep the screwed position when you lay them out because they're different sizes now go ahead and remove the shield with a plastic prying tool we'll go ahead and undo the LCD connection or the screen connection and now go ahead and the digitizer ribbon cable the screen is now separated now to remove the components from the screen go ahead and locate the top of the screen and remove that three Phillips head screws that are securing the bracket that holds the ear speaker and the camera in place with those three screws out of the way go ahead and lift up and move the bracket to the side now go ahead and remove the two Phillips head screws that are securing the ear speaker to the screen now we can gently pry the camera over to the left side lift it up and just push it over to the left and then pick up the speaker here's what it looks like up close when removing the camera we want to go ahead and start up top near the ambient sensor go ahead and just gently pry it underneath it be very careful when you're doing this and just push it out of its socket first on the right side now go ahead with a plastic trying to one push it out even further and it should come loose just like that that's one sensor there's another one there but we're gonna leave that in place for now go ahead with the metallic prying tool and get underneath very carefully underneath the speaker connection portion of the camera cable remember this is all one cable so just be very careful in Europe and doing these parts one by one they're slightly glued onto the screen now on the left side and this is very important that you don't come in from the bottom you come in from the top and just pry that in a little bit like one millimeter at a time that should come right out and that's it it's loose now next we're going to need to remove the second sensor that's the last one right there that the cable is attached on with go ahead and pry it underneath it very gently and it should come right out that's it that's loose here's what it looks like up close [Music] thanks we'll need to transfer the home button that's at the bottom of the screen it's covered with a shield that's secured with four white tip screws go ahead and remove the three screws that surround the home button first I'm gonna leave that home button screw there for now now go ahead and gently remove the home button screw this is very sensitive you can damage the home button by pressing it too tight so be very careful when removing nut now you can gently lift up the shield and put it over to the side with a plastic prying tool grid and undo this ribbon cable connection be careful the bottom of this connection is kind of loose it's not attached to anything so you want to separate that just like that like you see here now you can lift up the digitizer proportion of the connection then underneath with your metallic prying tool get underneath via home button cable and start working your way and underneath it and peeling it be very slow and very careful if you damage the home button it's basically game over because this home button is attached to this specific phone from factory and another one cannot be installed go ahead and just slide that front underneath and it comes out just like that here's what it looks like up close the last part we'll have to remove and arguably is the most tedious is the shield that guards the screen it's secured with six tri wing screws and they're located on the side of the screen there are three on each side go ahead and remove the three try wing or why tip excuse with the screws removed go ahead and start peeling through the shield back I remember it's glued on the bottom so go very slow you don't want to tear it here you just want to take your time and peel it right off slowly and that's it comes out just like that [Music] reassembly lay the shield in on the new screen you don't have to tuck it in under any cables or anything like that just laid down make sure it's aligned properly now go ahead and secure the three whitetip screws on the left side and then the three white tip screws on the right side but those screws secure go ahead and tuck the home button and underneath the screen just loop it right through and place it in the following orientation now you can just untuck that little cable out of the way the socket for the home button and then make sure to match the home button in using the residual glue flip it over make sure it's aligned nothing sticking out everything looks good okay now go ahead and click in the ribbon cable for the home button and then you can place the shield right over it in the following orientation then we'll secure it with the four white tab screws the three screws first and then lastly the home button screw make sure not to tighten that screw too tight because they can interfere with the home button functionality so just tighten up [Music] reinstalling the camera is a bit tricky and might seem intimidating at first go ahead and fold the two sensors like you see here with that little bit of padding and go ahead and tug them into their holes once you have them folded it should go pretty easily and right into their two little sockets there side by side so tuck in the one on the Left first and just put it into the socket and then the one on the right and then just match them both in just like that now hold that down go ahead and place the speaker connection portion of the cable and and align it with the two little guides that are there okay make sure to mash in with the plastic prying tool and make sure that they're connected and that's basically it now let's place the speaker back go ahead and align the little Springs with the connections on the camera cable and just put it into the socket and secure it with the two Phillips head screws on the bottom with those secured go ahead and fold the camera back over and tuck it into its socket now place the shield right over the camera and the speaker and then secure it with the three Phillips head screws longer one in the middle sharra one on the bottom and then that's slightly longer than the short on the left now let's reattach the screen to the phone go ahead and line it side-by-side first secure at the top the camera portion by aligning it up just like you see here and then clicking it in make sure you get a nice and firm connection you don't want this ribbon cable connected crooked you want it nice and firm now go ahead and place the shield right over this connection and then secure it with the three Phillips head screws [Music] now moving on to the bottom go ahead and reconnect the digitizer first I'm just aligned the ribbon cable with the socket and then gently push it in make sure that you got a nice good click and feels firm and seated right in there once that's nice and from go ahead and reconnect the screen itself align that with the socket and press that in now go ahead and place the cover over both cables and secure it with the four Phillips head screws the longest one goes right there on the right the next longest goes next right there and then the two shorter one to go on the top and bottom and that's it it's time to clamp up the phone clamping it up is very easy just close it up like a book and then apply pressure on both sides simultaneously and just keep going around and pushing it in ever slightly and it should start clicking right in then go around the contour clicking in and mashing in the rest of the gap so just go around a couple of times make sure it's nice and firm and now it's time to place back the two pentalobe screws near the charging port go ahead and load the screws in to their sockets then with the screws load it go ahead and secure them with the pentalobe screwdriver and that's it now we can go ahead and power on and test the phone all right that comes on great if this guide helped you please hit like and subscribe and check out more awesome
