iPhone 6 Screen Assembly Replacement
Step 1 — Remove bottom screws
• Before disassembling your
iPhone, be sure to power it off.
• Remove the two pentalobe
screws on the bottom of the
iPhone, near the Lightning port.
• Set the screws on their place on
the magnetic mat.
The magnetic mat is a safe and
secure way to store the small
components you will be removing
during the iPhone repair. You will
need a place to temporarily hold
these items while you disassemble
and reassemble your iPhone. The
magnetic mat’s diagram layout
and color coded screw spots will
reduce repair time and the
hardship of losing screws.

Step 4 — Replacing the screen assembly components - Earpiece Speaker
• Remove the three philips screws
securing the earpiece metal
bracket.
• Remove the metal bracket that
secures the earpiece speaker
and front facing camera.
• Gently hold the front-facing
camera out of the way as you
remove the earpiece speaker
module.
Tip: During the reassemble
process, make sure to properly
position the earpiece speaker’s
gold contacts with the flex cable's
gold contacts by aligning the two
plastic mini poles on the earpiece
with the two positioning holes on
the flex cable. Then position the
metal bracket over the earpiece
speaker and again align the two
positioning holes so they snap in
place, now you can secure the
metal bracket with the three
philips screws.
