This was such an amazing tutorial. I have an iPhone 7 but none of the tutorials were nearly as thorough as yours. I fixed my phone successfully because of your video. Thank you so much!!!
@@johnojelabi1405 Dont forget to also buy the Waterproof seal that you removed when opening the screen. And also, disconnect the battery first! Before anything else, you can risk shorting any small components in the mobo. And also, if you were a fan of the True Tone functionality, you won't be able to use it unless you reprogram the screen with a reprogrammer. The one I have is the JC V1
I recommend using a heat pistol for the top so the camera goes out easily and also for the home button cuz if you pull it to hard it may be damage cuz of the glue but with heat the glue gets soft making it easier to take it out
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I’m scared shitless to do this right now, so I’ll just keep watching this until I think I can do it. (I could probably do it right now, but these phones are so overpriced I don’t want to f it up) I hope I can do this because I sure as hell can’t afford another one.
Hey i have just had the screen of my iphone 8 changed thanks to your video. I was gonna get charged £110 to get it done so i said efff it. Thanks for the video
Omg, I dont know if I should try this out but I'm keen to give it a go! This video is so detailed yet simple and easy to follow which gives me the courage to try this out.
Had to install a new screen because I cracked it whilst putting in a new battery. The kit i used didn't come with a metal prying tool or anyway to heat the glue around the screen! Anyway, managed to follow this excellent tutorial and my phone is back to 100% again. Be warned that some of the steps can be quite tricky and re-inserting the plugs can also be tricky!
Great guide. For some reason my phone had fewer screws than the guide that came with my kit had. This tutorial clarified things for me and the screen replacement took around 2 hours. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial. I was able to replace my phone screen and it works perfectly! I used a space heater to heat up the adhesive around the screen and under some of the cables to make opening them/undoing them easier.
i was nervous to do this myself as i have never done this before, just ds repairs. but following your video and taking my time i was able to! home button and touch id still work, along with everything else. thank you
You are a life saver. Thank you so so much. I broke my screen when trying to open it and got a replacement and followed your tutorial. Everything is back to normal now!
The screen kit I bought for my iPhone 8 on Amazon contained a qrcode with a set of links for directions. Didn’t notice until i was halfway through this video that the link it gives for the screen replacement video is this exact video! XD
That's literally the guide i was looking for! Took me about one hour, but it was all worth it and lucky me i didn't break any ribbon cable :D Thanks my dude!!!
Thank you so much! I watched a few videos before I found yours. You’re the only one that explains how to put it back together. I had a terrible time with the home button and in the end it didn’t work 😂 oopppss but the rest did so Siri will just have to be real busy until I can get back in there.
Awesome tutorial, watched it the full way through to know what to expect and then went back through it when I got my replacement screen in. Easy to follow and didn't have any issues, what more could you ask for in a repair tutorial.
I was worried when I put it back together and the screen didn’t come on that I was out of luck. But upon disconnecting the screen and reconnecting it again it worked no problem. Thanks a million for this easy tutorial.
Ill be trying this out in a few days because phone repair is too expensive in my area. Im nervious but optimistic because of the postive feedback in the comments.
Thank you! You just effectively save me a huge heads. The most tricky was to get the protections of the connectors back on. My screwdriver was not magnetic in the tiny screws kept flying all over the place.
To people who can’t get there screen to turn on it’s because you haven’t placed the cables in correctly, go over them all again and make sure they are all in properly.
at 7:59 , this screw was stuck, i pushed some, eventually stripping it and ruining the y connector tool too. I reversed my steps and the phone works as before. I got stuck. :( I'll live with a couple cracks in the screen then. Good video. I didn't know what to do when this happened. Ty.
Well done for mentioning the screws need to return to the same spot, as the longer screw will go too far into the shorter holes and damage the circuit board immediately below. This is important! Its best to use a magnetized mat with the screw positions labeled on it.
If you followed this from the QR code in that kit from Amz, you don’t have to remove the camera, speaker etc. The home button is the only component that needs to be switched over.
its taking me hours to put the bloody screws back in, I got it all apart fin but so far its taken me an hour to put two screws in you make it look so easy
You can buy and add that, they are cheap and work just like double sided tape around the edges, but based on my experience, the phone will never be water proof again like it was from factory. It's just what comes with this replacement, you basically loose the water proof status.
This is my 4th time fixing my screen. All of my three attempts have been successful but home button did not work. This time also I dropped my phone on concrete sidewalk while running and had to replace screen made from China which is gambling. The part to fit sound and camera do not have the ports but I gave it a try. Just right now, home button is working miraclly in which I thought I damaged it when I tried on 2nd time. And sound and video are working good despite the screen did not have the port to hold like past three screens I had or on your video. So overall, I'm very happy. Only thing that I will look for are battery life and charging time. One screen had short battery life and one screen had my charging time very long time after replacing it. So let's see if this one takes care of it. My learned lesson: make sure buy the screen from legit. maker b/c the one that I bought had home button not working, short battery life, or issue w/ charging. So far, I got home button working out of three issues of the past. Thanks for your video. I give myself 9.5/10 on mechanical repair skill.
Your videos helped me numerous times in the past including the painstaking keyboard replacement on my old macbook. On the iphone 8 would it be safe to use a heat gun to loosen up the edges?
You forgot to mention that for the two Phillips head screws that secure the bottom of the camera, the screw on the left is a different size and requires a different screw driver. I did not realize this until it was too late, and the smaller screw is now worn because I used the same screw driver I used for the screw on the right.
The same thing just happened to me. When the new screen is connected but not attached it lights up and I can see everything but as soon as I try to screw it together the screen goes black???????
what do i do if the homebutton screw is on way too tight and i cant get it out with any tools, it looks like the shape on the screw is round and not edgy.
Two key points: MUST have a Y-tip 000 screwdriver. Never saw this before with other phones but never did a 7 or 8 before. Also - be extremely careful peeling back the home button cable on the far right side. On a black phone it is very difficult to see where the difference between the cable and the bottom of the phone. Best to wear glasses of do under a magnifier. I was so careful but still damaged this cable. Hope that helps someone.
I wish It was this easy I just paid a cell phone repair shop 110$ for a screen replacement, well worth it and it looks great and feels premium again but I felt like I got over charged. I bought an otter box for it for great drop protection
This was such an amazing tutorial. I have an iPhone 7 but none of the tutorials were nearly as thorough as yours. I fixed my phone successfully because of your video. Thank you so much!!!
Thats an iphone 8
Your tutorial on that screen change was absolutely BRILLIANT. The pace and voice were just PERFECT. Superb. Well Done from England UK.
They want 100 bucks to repair my mom's iPhone 8 at the mall. I say frick 'em, bought a kit for 20, and did it myself. Stonks.
just cracked my phone today while working out, they told me $100, I said 100 for what?! lol just got the kit online ill handle this myself!

Imma need a link sir
@@puffysquash6513 Just look it up on eBay or Amazon. Not too hard to find a replacement screen
@@CristianJ_Rubio I found it

I totally agree 💯
Thanks, completely agree, heating is absolutely necessary
Should I use the heat gun on the front or back of the iPhone?
Perfect tutorial. Step by step. Very easy to follow and very detailed. Great camera work as well. Thank You!
Thanks for this info - my screen case isn’t cracked badly enough I’ve decided

Wow wow wow... wow.
Thankyou! I was able to repair my wife’s phone after watching this. Great tutorial!
@Oh Ok yes sir
metio I’m in the process i’m preparing my wife right now hoping for the same reward lol
metio lmao how was it 😂😂
How much did it end up costing in total
can you sen a link to the replacement you used? so many screens i hear have a bluish tint or don'
rotate horizontal.
Thank you for this! Trying to get old videos and voicemails off my old iPhone 8 from my parents who have since passed.

I set my phones on top of my pizza oven to heat them.

WORKS! Saved me over $200 on a professional screen repair. Thank you.
Definitely the best repair video I have seen on any topic!! Great work! The camera work is exceptional as well.
Thank you for this video he saved me at least $50 🙏🏾
Much easier to follow than some other most viewed guides. Now I have a clear picture of how to do it.
Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to do it. Saved me $140 bucks vs. going to a box retailer to get my 8 Plus fixed. Thanks!!
Ill be trying this out in a few days because phone repair is too expensive in my area. Im nervious but optimistic because of the postive feedback in the comments.
Excellent guide and a great voice. My Phone works again thanks to you!
6 months later, screen cracked again, I’m here again. Thanks as always.
Great tutorial, just what I needed to install my $25 iPhone digitizer lol
By far the best tutorial on RUclips, goes into great detail. Thank you
thanks bro i just did this my self. took me less than an hour this the 3rd phone ive repaired
have used this twice to change a screen great video
Fixed my phone no problem 😃Expect replacement screen ! Was missing some parts for the camera, so I took it from the old screen🤣
That was smart
It's a drinking game. Every time he says, "now, go ahead" take a drink.
Thank you! You just effectively save me a huge heads. The most tricky was to get the protections of the connectors back on. My screwdriver was not magnetic in the tiny screws kept flying all over the place.
I had the same problem! I waved a magnet over the tip of the screwdriver and that worked for a bit
Much better compared to other tutorials
Very detailed guideline. I was confused with the screws which type goes in which part. Many thanks for your video...!!!!
without reapplying the water resistant tape the phone is no longer water resistant. Great tutorial just thought I'd mention it.
You saved me 80 bucks and taught me how to fix my screen, super thanks
EXCELLENT WORK! Just fixed my daughter’s screen today. THANK YOU!
1st,you must disconnected the battery aware for shock circuit.

saved my 10 dollars, thank you so much!!
not sure if I've commented before but oh well, you are a legend x
If you followed this from the QR code in that kit from Amz, you don’t have to remove the camera, speaker etc. The home button is the only component that needs to be switched over.
it’s good if you heat up the adhesive underneath the flex cables because you can remove them much more easily
H E A T I T U P ?
Great video! Just one question, isn't it necessary to unplug the battery cable before dismantling the screen?
you can but most definitely don't have too
put this man in the hall of fame right now.
I accidentally stripped a screw thread. Its insanely hard working with the camera and home button bit as a beginner managed it in the end
Perfect level of detail and just the right tips when needed.
its taking me hours to put the bloody screws back in, I got it all apart fin but so far its taken me an hour to put two screws in you make it look so easy
thank you u helped me bro
What about the seal that goes around the edge of the whole phone ?
You can buy and add that, they are cheap and work just like double sided tape around the edges, but based on my experience, the phone will never be water proof again like it was from factory. It's just what comes with this replacement, you basically loose the water proof status.
Save Apple Dollars I gotcha 😁👍🏻
2023❤ thank you I just replaced my screen without issue!
That's how a tutorial's done! Thank you for this.

Excellent- Thankyou.. my phone works well
This is such a very helpful video. And nice camera work, too! Thanks for doing it!
Thanks for this.
Got as far as the home button then could not remove the 3 screws. Anyone else had problems with these?
Me as well, what did you try?
This happens a lot. What you got to do is use a more precise screwdriver. When you use the cheap ones, they strip the screws.
@@GRIBSOFT can you please give a link for these precise screwdrivers
Thank you so much man! I would not have been able to do this without you
even though i have a working Iphone 11, i still fixed my Iphone 8 so i can jailbreak it. Thank you!
You may have just saved me $115! Thank you!
Thank you. Just replaced my daughters phone with this video. 🙏🏽
Hey does that mean when you remove the old screen the water proof tape is no longer there?
Thank you so much for sharing. Your instruction is very clear and easy to follow, compared to other videos I watched. Yours is the best.
Thanks man..I also have a RUclips channel where I show people how to fix stuff..and this video was awesome! You helped me fix my wife's iphone!
Really thanks, thanks, thanks for this tuto. it was very helpful. I repaired my iphone with your help. Your explanations made it easy
Thank you for sharing this video, I am going to do it when my replacement screen and battery come .

Cheers dude, your guide emboldened me to change the screen on my wife’s phone. All working 👍
Great tutorial. Kindly write for me the names of the tools your are using
Thank you very much for your help. Have a nice Easter.
Good tutorial. It took me an hour with being careful as you explained and well worth it. Phone is brand new again and fully functional. Thank you
Touch sensor sir are still functioning?
@@mikepelobello7300 100% working. I went easy on the swap over so as to not damage any ribbon connections Mike.
Awesome help here man. Appreciate you taking the time to create and upload this!
Does a notification pop up if you change the screen yourself with an unoriginal display in an iPhone 8?
Great job BRO 😎
And thank you 🙏
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful when replacing my screen 👍
Very helpful, fixed my parent's phone successfully!

Everything explained very well, but what about true tone?
“Go ahead…” I making my brain hurt.
thank you for teh awsome tutorial :I) helped me alot same for the batttery replacement
Where can I actually buy a new screen? Looked on your website and it gave information! Didn’t see a way to buy the kit though.
I replaced the screen but now its black. I can see the screen with a flashlight shining on it and it works but screen is black
The same thing just happened to me. When the new screen is connected but not attached it lights up and I can see everything but as soon as I try to screw it together the screen goes black???????
what do i do if the homebutton screw is on way too tight and i cant get it out with any tools, it looks like the shape on the screw is round and not edgy.
U stripped it and ur SCREWED. Haha see what I did there
lisbeth, I;m having the same problem...what did you end up doing?
If it doesn’t work try a different screw driver. You stripped the screw and may need to use a special tool to remove it if you can’t get it out
Two key points: MUST have a Y-tip 000 screwdriver. Never saw this before with other phones but never did a 7 or 8 before.

It’s better to give the edges of the screen a little heat to open it up
Microwave here I come!
