Okay so my repair took 45 minutes in total. I thought it was easy in the beginning but the part with the ear piece and all the other cables around that area and the camera/lens were the most difficult for me. The video is honestly out of focus in some key parts. I am just glad that I managed to repair my iPhone 6 at a fraction of the cost. Thank you.
This was my second attempt of fixing a cracked iPhone 6 screen. The first video I followed was a train wreck and I did not get the results I wanted. However, this video was for a second iPhone 6 I tried to replace a cracked screen by following and was extremely pleased with the step by step instructions and got the results I wanted. A fixed screen without any difficulties! Thank you! Recommend this video.
Hey! Thanks for this. I know this is oriented for your iCracked replacement piece, but from other vendors, the clear, circular camera-holder for the front facing camera may not be included. It was not in mine and I just removed it and used a tiny amount of super glue to put it in the right position on the new screen. Super solid replacement guide!
very very helpful, after viewing several times my replacement was fully loaded just had to switch out the button. You showed me what the apple store refused to do other than try and sell me a new phone and saved me $$. Thanks again.
Thanks for this video. Little late to the party but I've only just started repairing iPhones, and I messed one up. The motherboard connectors were damaged when I tried to reassemble it. Your guide will hopefully help me do better.
GREAT tutorial! Easy to understand & follow! I look up a lot of videos before i found this one that made me feel confident enough to finally pull the trigger and try! Thank you!
while the video may be a little out of focus at times, the information provided was spot on. successful repair after repairing two ipads. Thanks for the video!
This is the 4th one I have done (3 for my daughter....) All I can say is whoever the person(s) working at Apple designed this thing, man what innovation. So precise and a piece of art!
My front facing camera wasn’t working afterwards, luckily you explained which cable it was so I opened it back up and got it working right away, thank you so much!!!
A Wonderful piece of work - no mistakes & carried out without any fuss - i changed the charge port on my iPhone 6 , removed the ribbon connectors joining the screen - the charge port work went well but when i re-installed the ribbon connectors i now get lines on the screen & although I’ve reinstated the connectors several times there is no improvement - any idea where i went wrong?.Ed,
Thank you! Was able to replace the screen on my dad’s iPhone on the first try and saved a few bucks! It was tedious, but not as daunting as I thought it would be.
Best instructions I saw online! He even cautioned against commonly made mistakes.They worked perfectly for me. liked the part of tape to be transferred for the proximity server to work. I wish he explained how to do that, I kind of used the hair dryer and pulled it out with a small flat head screw driver.
Super help. I've just used this today and it is pretty clear. My phone now is working a treat. Surprised by the negative comments, I had no problems at all. Good job and thanks.
just repaired my cousin iPhone 6, his screen was badly crack but after repairing I could not test out the screen and the components because he forgot his passcode lol. THANKS AGAIN for such a great video. Btw I love the music at the end, made me feel like I completed a mission lol.
I used this video and it was a great help. Each step was explained clearly and slowly to follow along. The only thing that crossed me up was reconnecting the the wires as they get confusing but I was able to figure it out pretty quickly as the sizes of the connections vary. Thanks for you help!
Good tutorial. I've replaced a few screens with iCracked Screens and they all worked like a charm. As for the video, at some points, the logo gets kind of in the way. Otherwise, well done.
What a great guide, thank you. I just have a quick question if you could answer please? At 15:46 you mention that the thermal plate will slip under the upper end of the LCD flex, but then at 16:28 it is clearly under the thermal plate? Which is correct, does it belong above, or underneath?
Thanks!Really helpful! Got some trouble snapping the cables back but it was ok at the end.Don't panic if this part take longer than expected!And double check cables order before putting screws back...
Good job at explaining! The only problems I had were the cable going underneath the thermal plate and the order of cables connecting at to the phone part. It might have been the display I bought where they were out of order but I figured it out eventually. Also every time I replace a screen myself the display seems a little grayer or more contrasted? Weird
Thank you so much! It's a great video, well-paced, and you clearly know what you're talking about. I love fixing things myself (I'm also pretty broke) and I couldn't have done this without your video. ***Should be noted that the large rectangular patch at the top of the phone goes beneath the thermal plate when re-assembling
Hey Eva, I got an iPhone 6 with a cracked screen too. The Touch ID is still working perfectly though despite the cracks.. Does your Touch ID work after the screen replacement? Or is that functionality gone forever? : (
Thanks--you got me through it and it worked! I think you (or I) missed a step on reinstalling the mic on the new screen...but I caught it and all is well. Keeping track of the screws is critical.
Thanks. I successfully changed the screen. Note to all, the parts are much smaller (particularly the screws) then I expected. Having a magnetized set of screw drivers makes this easier.
Thank you so much for this informational and instructional video. After pausing and rewinding countless times, I'm proud to say that I finally repaired my iPhone 6. P.S. I hate those darn screws!!
Thank you !! . Very detailed compared to the 5 minute videos I've tried they skip key steps like which screw is smaller , heating up slightly to remove the adhesive and description of each flex cable e.t.c thanks again 😎👌🏾
Hey man, thanks so much for the tutorial, it helped me to successfully replace a broken iPhone 6 screen (as well as transfer my home button and camera/proximity sensor from my old screen to the new one, as the new one didn't come with them). Everything seems to be working great (although I haven't verified the proximity sensor is working yet). Thanks again!
Every body should remember that this guy show to public very good work , every body should apreciate him , this is free video and very nicely he explain step by step , I give you 5 star ***** sir Please do help people always as you making phones repair and don't care anyone what ever they say , god bless you
I've done similar work to my own laptop replacing the screen keyboard also done the same on my Note 3 replacing the screen simply by watching these types of videos easy enough I'm going to join
+iCracked I've got a question, I'm about to perform this replacement and I'm just wondering is it compulsory to bring all the components such as the ear peace and finger scanner etc etc to the new screen?
Just did this and it worked close to perfectly. The display I bought unfortunately came without the front camera plastic piece, without the white proximity filter and without the plastic dust cover. However, I switched these over, and followed the other steps and the iPhone is now good as new. I do wonder if my front camera microphone picked up sound better before though, but I dont have a comparison so I cannot test that out. Not that big of a deal anyways as the phone got 2 other fully working mics :) Thanks for the video iCracked :)
Just finished replacing mine. Great video. Wish there were some zoom ins during removal and install. It took me 2.5 hours ( I lost my screws few times) . Also he didn't show the parts where the transparent inserts for camera and microphone had to be transferred over to new screen. The white sticker for proximity sensor was also hard to take off and stick on the new phone.
Hey, I got an iPhone 6 with a cracked screen too. The Touch ID is still working perfectly though despite the cracks.. Does your Touch ID work after the screen replacement? Or is that functionality gone forever? : (
Awesome. I just managed to do that following the instructions. Thank you so much for the video and the high quality display that you've sold me. Recommend you!
I did this and I got my screen to work but my front facing camera isn't working anymore. (Home button, speakers, microphone all are working just fine). When I try to flip the camera to the front side, the screen just turns black. I am not sure where the problem is. Is the camera broken, the flex cable damaged, or did i break the logic board? No idea. Help would be really appreciated. Thank you! :). (Great video btw!)
Hi, I have a question. I did everything accordingly but I end up with 2 problems. First the touch id is not working saying that is unable to connect and gives failed connection. And the second problem is that at random time the screen goes off, but the backlit is lit i can see the light but no picture. I lock/unlock the phone from the lock button a few times and the picture comes back on... What did I do wrong ?
A well presented video with clear instructions. Just one point I disagree with is when you say that if when testing the digitizer the icon drops indicates logic board damage !!!. If the icon does drop then it means the digitizer is not functioning properly because of the cracks and not logic board damage !!!. Sorry to be a little fussy lol. In fairness though, a great video.
Hi, I was fixing my phone according to your video, everything works fine apart from top right and top left corner which are not responding when I touch or swipe there. Should I try to reconnect the ports or is it a fault of display ?
15:55 WATCH OUT FOR THIS SPOT, WRONG INSTRUCTIONS! I just broke my new screen because the video advises to put the thermal plate underneath the cable even though it should be on top of it. Thank you iCracked!
May I ask, where you order your LCD's for this iPhone 6 from please? Looking for a vender that has good, quality LCD's, but dont want to pay full retail as I repair iPhones as well. Thank you for your time.
I'm trying to get my phone fixed at Apple but I already had my screen replaced before at a different location. Is there a seal in iPhones that indicate that you had your phone fixed somewhere else before?
Pretty good - replacing the ambient light sensor, the speaker and the front camera were definitely the fiddliest part of the whole operation.Then making sure the cables were all connected in the right order. If you're stuck check the size of each of them - they're all different If they're out of order, gently move them by sliding one behind the other until they're in the right order. Hope this helps!
so if the phone is doing all kind of crazy things like doing things on it own and if i tap something itll also do something else do i go about the repair normally?
It was awesome!! Being a single mom and having these types of videos helps immensely! It has saved me so much money and headaches. Thank you so much.
Just a quick thank-you for taking the time and making the effort to post this. Well explained and filmed. My wife now has an intact phone again!
just replaced my cousins screen. this video helped out so much. he gave simple step by step instructions on how to replace screen. excellent job.
Okay so my repair took 45 minutes in total.

jcee77 yep that was the part that took me the longest
Finally someone telling you to remove the battery !!

What a great guide, thank you. I just have a quick question if you could answer please? At 15:46 you mention that the thermal plate will slip under the upper end of the LCD flex, but then at 16:28 it is clearly under the thermal plate? Which is correct, does it belong above, or underneath?
+Cyrus Bharda He fucked up. It belongs underneath
LCD FLEX GOES UNDER THERMAL PLATE?
Thanks!Really helpful!
Got some trouble snapping the cables back but it was ok at the end.Don't panic if this part take longer than expected!And double check cables order before putting screws back...

Thanks I did mine under 20 min, not so bad for a first! You saved me a bunch of money , great video
Thanks. I successfully changed the screen. Note to all, the parts are much smaller (particularly the screws) then I expected. Having a magnetized set of screw drivers makes this easier.
Thanks you got me through the job without tearing my phone up .

Really informative video, just the right amount of detail.The best phone repair video i've used!

I fix computers, not cell phones. Watched the video once and I️ was able to replace the screen and battery on my phone . Thanks!
is it necessary to use the same home button, I have heard of rumors that it is but I want to know whether it is or isn't?

I've done similar work to my own laptop replacing the screen keyboard also done the same on my Note 3 replacing the screen simply by watching these types of videos easy enough I'm going to join
You mentioned to put the thermal plate underneath the LCD controller bar... but in fact you put it over it.... please mention this in the video...
+iCracked I've got a question, I'm about to perform this replacement and I'm just wondering is it compulsory to bring all the components such as the ear peace and finger scanner etc etc to the new screen?
Hi, the Repair kit comes with the assembly already?
Just did this and it worked close to perfectly. The display I bought unfortunately came without the front camera plastic piece, without the white proximity filter and without the plastic dust cover. However, I switched these over, and followed the other steps and the iPhone is now good as new.
I do wonder if my front camera microphone picked up sound better before though, but I dont have a comparison so I cannot test that out. Not that big of a deal anyways as the phone got 2 other fully working mics :)
Thanks for the video iCracked :)
Hey the video helped a lot thank you but the screen is not Turing on I may have done it wrong PLZZZZ HELP thank you
Once the screen is replaced, will everything on my phone be the same? Will My photos and settings still be there?
Does it making a difference if you dont switch the thermal plate from the original on to the aftermarket?
I'm about to try this myself. Your video is very informative.
Just finished replacing mine. Great video. Wish there were some zoom ins during removal and install. It took me 2.5 hours ( I lost my screws few times) .

I don't see where on the icracked website they are selling DIY repair kits?
I watched this as i did it and everything works fine thanks
I have a iPhone 6 +, can I use this tutorial or do I have to go to a tutorial with a iPhone 6+ instead of a standard iPhone 6
Does the replacement you are selling work with Touch ID?
Great video and very informative but you need to check your focus on close up shots
Hi, I have a question. I did everything accordingly but I end up with 2 problems. First the touch id is not working saying that is unable to connect and gives failed connection.

I got my replacement at RepairPartsPlus but my replacement screen only has three cables when connecting it all back at the top.
best video ive found for this so far. Thanks!
Very nice and understandable video! Changed my lcd screen in 30 min, without any mistakes or something! 😐👏👏
Hi, I was fixing my phone according to your video, everything works fine apart from top right and top left corner which are not responding when I touch or swipe there. Should I try to reconnect the ports or is it a fault of display ?
Awesome! Your video helped me successfully replace the screen on my iPhone 6! Thank you Thank you Thank You!
Thank you so much! I just replaces my sister's phone screen with this video!
can i swap screens and home button with another iphone and will touch id still work if i do?
15:55 WATCH OUT FOR THIS SPOT, WRONG INSTRUCTIONS! I just broke my new screen because the video advises to put the thermal plate underneath the cable even though it should be on top of it. Thank you iCracked!
the metal plate that covers the cable for the home button flex cable & accessory cable is that needed & will it cause problems if it not there?
good tutorial: narration was very helpful, however needed more close ups in certain fiddly sections.
May I ask, where you order your LCD's for this iPhone 6 from please? Looking for a vender that has good, quality LCD's, but dont want to pay full retail as I repair iPhones as well. Thank you for your time.
I'm trying to get my phone fixed at Apple but I already had my screen replaced before at a different location. Is there a seal in iPhones that indicate that you had your phone fixed somewhere else before?

Awesome! Thanks a lot for very detailed tutorial. I've just perfromed my first screen replacement ever with 100% SUCCESS! THANKS!
Great video. Very helpful and easy to follow.
Video is out of focus in many sections
Otto Bommer and
Just a tip, they sell screens with the actual lcd screen and home button, camera, and calling speaker already put in. It’s so much easier.
Hi,
How do you run diagnostics on an iphone so you know whats wrong with the phone ?
thanks
will the touch id still work when the screen is replaced because this part was unclear
so if the phone is doing all kind of crazy things like doing things on it own and if i tap something itll also do something else do i go about the repair normally?
Well done DIY video. Three thumbs up!
This is the LCD replacement or just glass screen?
hey the best video so far I've seen .
