    • 首先剔除iPhone边框上所有残留的粘合胶。

    • 可以使用镊子去除残留的胶条,或者如图二用撬棒(Spudger)的尖端缠绕并拉走胶条。

    When you do not really want to get rid of the glue, but you do not have it, you can tie the glue off and pick it up with tweezers! You can remove it.

    Are we really sure this glue uses an alcohol solvent? By the way it rolls away and taunts me, I suspect it is rubber solvent-based. I owned a Macintosh used/refurbished computers and peripherals business for many years (refurbmadness.com) and have cleaned literally everything from old equipment. Alcohol doesn't seem to be doing the trick. there are five solvents and glue is usually rubber-based or turpentine-based unless it's Gorilla Glue Ultimate, which is alcohol-based. I'm going to check....YEP! Rubber cement solvent: brand name "Bestine." Please change this.

    What I found to work best is to use a pair of angled tweezers, scrape off part of the adhesive so you can grab onto it, and pull up vertically instead of horizontally. It will come off as one long piece which is much more efficient compared to horizontally where the glue may snap off in smaller pieces.

    • 用Spudger撬棒的尖端剔除所有残余的小胶条。

    Its crucial to get this done properly, otherwise the glue strip doesn’t sit properly. After thoroughly picking with a spudger, I cleaned up the remainder with a q-tip and brake cleaner.

    Small strips of good duct tape can be very useful for removing the remaining adhesive as well as any dirt left behind. Just cut narrow strips and press them firmly into the channel where the adhesive was, then peel away the tape along with any foreign material.

    • 如果你重装的是原先的显示屏而不是更换新的,请确保显示屏内侧残留的胶条都已清除干净。

    This is important. About half of my old adhesive stuck to the display. Be sure to look under the clips at the top that hold the screen in place. Adhesive there may make it difficult to properly align the screen.

    • 用无纺布(或咖啡滤纸)蘸一点异丙醇,清洁手机边框及显示屏后部之前有粘合胶的地方。

    • 为了更好的效果,请在清洁时按照同一顺序进行擦拭,而不要前后擦拭。

    • 这一步将有助于清理干净残余粘合胶并为贴合新的粘合胶做准备。

    I used an Isopropyl alcohol patch from a first aid kit.

    Joe Teichert - Reply

    I used a pre-moistened isopropyl cleaning wipe for eyeglasses, works great and cheap too. Heed the advice to only go in one direction as well - that adhesive will just get pushed all over if you don’t.

    anpav - Reply

    The video shows using a Q-tip with Isopropyl. Don’t use a Q-tip, the cotton will just stick to the remaining adhesive and make it hairy. An eyeglasses cleaning cloth moistened with acetone did the trick for me. Don’t get it drippy wet with the acetone, it may attack some plastics.

    bradiac - Reply

    not only hairy, it will spread isopropyl everywhere. i ruined my display because the iso got under the glas of the display and attacked the screen adhesive between glas and lcd. now i got 2-3 spots where you can see that. it still works but it’s not perfect anymore.

    I guess everybody’s situation is a little different, but I’ve always kept some in the medicine cabinet. You can get a bottle at any drugstore for a buck or two; also many/most hardware stores. Look for the highest concentration you can get—anything over 90% works great!

    For this finishing step I tried iFixit’s Adhesive Cleanup Kit. The first pad of the kit, the Adhesive Tape Remover Pad, is soaked with a slippery solution that did an incredible job of cleaning residuals of glue and dirt. May I have to redo this repair, I would put less effort at the previous steps, relying on this pad instead, hopefully saving a lot of time.

    This slippery solution doesn’t seem to evaporate. Obviously it needed to be cleaned if the new adhesive was intended to stick. That’s the role of the second pad, saturated with 70% IPA. Caution with the fluff that detaches from this pad, however.

    • 从底部边缘开始,从背胶上剥离绝大部分。

    • 通常您可以在边缘处落找到突出的边缘。

    Saw in a different persons YouTube video the battery connector was causing a problem with the film because its disconnected and up, they cut a small slit in the film, Might test laying the film hold the adhesive on the phone before starting and see if thats a problem depending on phone and adhesive. Never hurt to check

    • 在粘贴胶之前,请确保您的手机电池排线放平,避免阻挡蓝色防粘衬里。如果需要的话您可以暂时连接上电源排线——不过要确保安装屏幕的时候将其断开连接。

    • 小心地将粘合胶揭开的部分对准手机的底部边缘。

    • 一旦粘合胶贴到手机上,就不能再重新定位了——这时只能撕掉它重新贴一张新的。

    • 对齐后,将揭开的部分轻轻按压到位。

    The three pictures show him peeling the adhesive backing away as he lays the adhisive in the phone. I found it easier to peel the whole backing away and then very carefully align the whole adhesive before gently pressing any of it in place. This way, you can be sure it will line up perfectly and avoid having to redo it.

    Joe Teichert - Reply

    Props to Dwayn Draper for his above comment above. I see no way to do this step without either pressing the battery connector down (which would energize the logic board and perhaps be bad), or cutting a hole in the adhesive backing to accommodate the battery connector while it sticks up. I laid the whole blue thing over the phone and used a sharpie to mark where the connector stuck up. Then I used a sharp pair of scissors to cut out the marked part of the backing. This allowed the adhesive to line up nicely around the edges of the phone.

    Joe Teichert - Reply

    I tried peeling off the whole backing like the comment above suggested and I completely messed up this part. thinking about this next time i would align it first with the backing on, then carefully peel it back, similar to how this ifixit article directs.

    Radd Guarin - Reply

    i destroyed the seal immediately cause of my thumbs not being in the right spot as i tried to peel the protector back a bit… more of a personal error, everything else in my build was easy peasy… i wish it was a bit clearer on the seal where to start from, the picture shown and the protective backing on my seal was slightly different so i wasnt sure if i was starting from the correct side to start peeling away and think that may have led to my error as well…. hopefully i can remember mine isnt waterproof anymore and ill try to replace it again next time something goes wrong on this phone

    Before exposing the adhesive, test fit the packet to see which way it orients. There was several cutouts on mine for the various components which protrude above the perimeter. The adhesive looked pretty symmetrical, but the backing only went one way.

    bradiac - Reply

    This was definitely the most harrowing part of the battery replacement process.

    Anthony - Reply

    This step needs to be done before you mount the battery, if this is the reason why you open your iPhone. The battery connector points up and makes the blue film to curve up and not align properly with the edges of the phone. I know, small details, but this is making the job even harder than already is. Maybe a cut out in the blue film, for that area, would have been useful.

    redishman - Reply

    Booth strips i had with batteries was just top edge too short :(

    Arnolds Balins - Reply

    Peeled off the first sheet, aligned, and then placed. I used one of the existing holes to make a cutout for the battery connector (since I had already inserted the battery when the other guide indicated the adhesive should be placed). Used two sets of tweezers gripping inside the holes to carefully align and place.

    Nicholas Anchor - Reply

    It was OK to re-connect the battery temporarily rather than slicing holes in the plastic. Just be sure to disconnect it again before reconnecting the display.

    Also, I lined up what I thought was the bottom correctly, only to have the top fall short. Looking back, I should have put the plastic sheet entirely within the phone, and not have it overlapping the edge. With an extra pair of hands, we were able to fix the top edge somewhat, but I had placed the plastic about 1mm too low.

    Mark - Reply

    Instead of peeling off the backing progressively, I found it safer to cut the bottom part of it with scissors, so that about 1 cm height of adhesive was exposed. This way, the sheet laid FLAT over the iPhone frame and could be centered accurately. Once precisely centered, I held the sheet in place with one hand, and with the other hand took the spudger and pressed down the bottom part of the sheet, to actually stick the adhesive to the frame. Then peeled off the rest of the backing as the pictures show.

    Aubin - Reply

    Great tip from Aubin. Cut 1-2 cm of the first or big tape (foil), on the Bottom of the phone. Then without pressing: first go to the Top of the phone and align and hold. Then check the Bottom for correct alignment, and start pressing the Bottom of the adhesive, and then peeling the big foil towards the Top, and then pressing the rest of the adhesive.

    Renout - Reply

    Aubin has the best tip for this. trying to peel back the large backing piece bends and curls the whole thing such that it’s impossible to align properly. Once you get it aligned, press down on the bottom exposed piece and then you can remove the backing, and it falls neatly into place.

    Manuka - Reply

    I removed the obvious bits of old seal with the spudger then just used a microfibre cloth and lighter fluid to remove the rest. I have used lighter fluid for any adhesive residue type job for 30+ years and never had a problem. It doesn’t attack any kind of plastic EVER plus, it hangs around for longer than IPA which is also a bonus. With regard to the battery connector, not sure if the problem is common in models other than the 7? The connector on mine was well under the level of where the backing sheet would span the width of the phone as I applied the seal?

    Guadalo - Reply

    Also, when applying the seal, make sure you pull the backing away straight, not at an angle like you see in the pics below. I tried that way and it started to ‘steer’ the seal sideways and over the edge of the relief. Pull the backing away keeping it parallel with the phone and the seal should follow it. After a few attempts at positioning the very bottom edge of the seal to start with I managed to apply the whole thing perfectly first attempt. Careful with that initial positioning though as the seal is so sticky it almost feels magnetic!

    Guadalo - Reply

    I’ve done multiple iphone repairs and I ALWAYS find this the hardest part of the whole process. In fact, I awlays buy an extra adhsive pice for each repair because I mess this up and have to redo it about half the time.

    r torrance andrews - Reply

    The adhesive comes sandwiched between two sheets of blue release liner, one slightly larger than the other. When you peel them apart, the adhesive is meant to stick to the small sheet, which you then apply to your iPhone. In my case, when I peeled the two sheets apart, the adhesive stuck to the large sheet, making it impossible to apply. I don't think it was anything I did wrong - probably just a fault in the manufacturing process. I will try reassembling it without the adhesive, or possibly using a liquid adhesive like B-7000.

    Peter Gray - Reply

    I completely missed how this was done first time. The big blue backing sheet is pulled out from underneath. I was in too much of a hurry to study the instructions carefully. I paid the price. Somehow it worked how in the end, but would have been so much easier with a clear idea.

    • 继续一边揭开保护膜,一边由下向上轻轻地将粘合胶按压到位。

    • 粘合胶底部边缘完美对齐的话,侧边及顶部边缘也会妥妥的。如果贴歪了,只能重头再来了。

    • 如果此时手头没有另外替换的粘合胶,暂时不贴粘合胶重新组装手机也是可以正常使用的。但这样的话你的iPhone将不再防水。

    Please take your time with this and slowly get done right. I almost messed up on this step because I was rushing.

    Press hard. Some of the adhesive came off the phone as I was peeling the backing away in the step 11. You want to make sure it stuck on the phone so it doesn’t stay attached to the backing.

    Joe Teichert - Reply

    I’d recommend resting the tip of your spudger against the vertical notch of the edge and press down rather with the side of the tip, just so your hand doesn’t slip inwards causing the nearest bit of glue to unstick.

    • 抓住(某个角上的)小拉条并将前面的保护膜撕掉。

    • 有些款式的这种拉签是由四小片组成的。

    Make sure you pull the tab as close to the phone as possible, parallel to the phone. This should lower the probability of the adhesive in the corner separating from the frame. Do NOT pull up and away from the frame!

    If it does separate, just put it back and press it firmly in with the spudger and try again.

    • 将保护膜完全撕下并丢弃。

    • 这时,粘合胶上应该仍留有一层薄薄的保护膜,以预防在你安装屏幕的时候粘到其他东西。先暂时不要将它撕掉。

    • 此时,粘合剂可能仍然被有一层非常薄的保护膜所覆盖,以防止它在您重新组装iPhone时意外粘到任何物体上。 暂时不要移除这些小型防粘衬垫。

    My iPhone 6s Plus kit did not have the thin strip of release liners but worked fine.

    sputterer1 - Reply

    The release liners either stuck to the main backing as I pulled it off, or it pulled the adhesive itself away from the phone! Be very careful, or you’ll have a sticky mess trying to get the adhesive back in place.

    Joe Teichert - Reply

    The iphone 6s does not have this thin film so when I was attaching the screen I ruined my adhesive. Not sure why this one is different but it definitely makes things more challenging.

    Brett Gragg - Reply

    Same here. I ended up placing a wide strip cut from the front adhesive liner across the top end where the display cables attach, as well as placing the rear adhesive liner crossways over the phones mid section to help keep from touching and/or damaging the adhesive during reassembly.

    bradiac - Reply

    La même chose pour moi, le kit pour changement de batterie 6S n’avait pas la fine pellicule à enlever juste avant l’assemblage final.

    Ainsi comme montrer dans la vidéo, il est important de tester son écran avant l’assemblage final : il n’était donc pas très simple sans cette pellicule de ne pas toucher l’adhésif en reliant les nappes et en faisant le test.

    Mais tant mieux tout s’est bien déroulé ! Merci pour vos tutos !!

    BOUCHARDON Bertrand - Reply

    This instruction contradicts itself - It says to completely separate the adhesive liners and discard them then, in the next step, it says to leave in place some of the liner. It should be clear that there are two layers of adhesive liners, the top layer may be in several pieces and the bottom layer should be left in place. Maybe it should read "The adhesive liner has 2 layers. The top layer (the one you can see) is the size of the phone and is used to help position the adhesive. While it looks like one piece, it may come off in several pieces (it may have small cuts in it to make removal easier). Under this top layer, there is a second very thin liner that covers the very edge of the phone where the adhesive is. Remove only the top layer front adhesive liner and discard it. Leave the the second very thin liner in place to protect the adhesive while you complete the next few steps."

    • 重新连接电池排线

    • 重新安装排线上方的金属保护罩,并拧紧将其固定的螺丝。

    • 这时可以开机并测试所有的功能是否正常。然后再将屏幕粘合到位。粘贴之前务必关闭电源。

    We were initially disappointed when the test power-on failed. I tried reconnecting the battery, but it felt no different than the first time. Luckily, one of us thought of recharging the new battery, which proved to be the problem.

    After a 10 minute charge, the phone powered up normally. We tested the screen and audio, and were happy to see it working. There’s a chance that your new battery might be out of power also.

    I think I can’t find the answer to my issue, my iPhone 6S has a weird problem with the display, where in my phone, where the screen connects to the base of the phone, the part you're putting into the phone in this step, is split into 2 from adhesive degradation and my phone is a ticking timebomb to the end of its life.

    • 为了使粘胶正确粘合,你需要在的你的手机边缘施加均匀的压力。突出的摄像头可能会造成困难,但是你可以通过把手机正面朝下并在边缘放置硬币来解决。

    • 或者,你可以使用设备周围的屏幕虎钳夹固定新粘合剂。

    • 你可以使用任何面值的硬币,只要他们和摄像头一样厚或比其稍厚

    • 如果你的iPhone有很高的光泽,比如亮黑色,你可以在手机周围贴上一圈胶带,以保护漆面,然后再放置硬币。

    • 在你的手机四角各放置一个硬币,并在摄像头两边也各放置一个硬币。

    • 在手机周围放满硬币。

    • 使用吹风机或加热风枪,均匀加热手机周围,直到它们稍微热到不能触摸。 热量将帮助粘胶粘合更完整。 请勿使手机过热,否则可能会导致电池起火或损坏其他热敏元件,比如显示屏。

    Your phone will work fine. This step is more about getting the adhesive to bond securely to help create a waterproof seal. If you don’t have any way to heat it, using more weight and leaving it there for a longer period of time may help.

    Thank you so much for the advice on this and the suggestion of heating coins and using books. I did as suggested and three weeks later my phone was knocked into a bath of water.

Tapped out water in ports, removed the SIM card and then placed in front of a fan to dry put for 24 hours. I wanted to wait longer but I needed my phone for a long trip so prayed and turned it on. It was fine. Nothing wrong with it abs I can only thank you foe your suggestions to improve the seal that made the difference.

    Instead of using a heat gun/hair dryer (I do not have one) — I used the coins trick, and put a kettle on top that I filled with hot water. I used water at around 80ºC. The weight of the kettle also provides additional pressure, making sure you get a good seal. To cool it down, simply add some additional cold water to the kettle.

Then shave out a bit from this spot so the styrofoam will sit more or less flat on the phone. You can now heat the phone and then quickly toss the styrofoam and weights on top. SO much easier than juggling all those coins.

    • 在手机还没有冷却的时候,选出至少4本你觉得最重的精装书,并将它们放置在您的手机上。

    • 硬币可能在书的底部封面留下轻微的压痕,所以最好不要使用贵重的书籍。

    • 将这些书压在手机上大约30分钟。

    Love the book selection :P

    Seems like a better idea to move reinstallation of the pentalobe screws to Step 21 or immediately after it.

    Two problems:

    1) The adhesive for the bottom of the phone has a tiny extra lip. My first attempt was to line up the corners rather than the middle. This resulted in the adhesive being be a bit short at the top.

    2) During the final assembly, I could not get the phone to close. Double bad. I tried to peel up the screen to realign and tore one of the screen’s ribbon cables! I just received my second screen and adhesive today.

    I believe these two areas could be easily added to the above instructions. Everything else went fine.

    Thank you very much ifixit for this guide!. I replaced the adhesive on an used iphone 8 i bought, followed every step very carefully and now the screen seals perfectly with the frame.

    Can you use iPhone 12 without the adhesive?

    Jáchym - Reply

    Jáchym, yes you can use iPhone 12 without the adhesive. The adhesive is protection against water entering the phone, and does not have any impact on function of the phone.

    I just used this guide for an 8.

    I failed to remove the adhesive on the back half, but realized it in time, so all went well.

    thanks for the guide

I just bought few iPhone 7 adhesives from my supplier, and I noticed that the adhesive is not really fitting on the frame.

The iFixit shop pictures show us the iPhone 7 Plus adhesive for black color and the iPhone 7 adhesive for white color.

The iPhone 7 Plus seems to be more precise and correct than the iPhone 7 one : the iPhone 7 Plus one respect the screw hole at upper left corner for example, but the iPhone 7 one doesn’t, it has extra curves (same as iPhone 6s lower left corner) and it doesn’t take up the full width of the frame edge.

Can anyone show us the shape of an original adhesive from a brand new iPhone 7 to compare ?

This was the trickiest part of my screen replacement. Slim double sided adhesives always intimidate me because you only get one chance to line it up. I succeeded on my first attempt by following this guide and taking my time to line up the first edge as best as I could. The sides are the hardest part as they are very thin and I almost failed getting them lined up. Luckily I hadn’t pressed them down and was able to correct my alignment. Good preperation of the phone by removing the old adhesive completely and cleaning the area is my number one recommendation.

Nathan Stark - Reply

Adhesive makes everything harder. I chose to replace the adheasive on my 6s plus during a battery replacement, and it was easily the hardest part. No fault of Ifixit or this guide… the instructions above are spot on. But the cleaning of the adheasive takes forever, easily tripled my total repair time. And its really, really nerve racking to place the new adheasive. I do stuff like that all the time, but this was nuts. The strips are so tiny and delicate! Be really, really careful and take your time. This earns its “moderate” difficulty and then some.

wow that was hard to get in place. clean the edges well and use isopropyl alcohol. also practice a lot before removing the cover protection.

After doing this step, is it still waterproof?

M. Refeir Yudio Ikhwanudin - Reply

As long as the adhesive is not damaged at ANY point during installation then yes it will be waterproof.

Thank you! Went better than expected on my 6s.

Used a tooth pick and soft tooth brush to clean around the edges and then Is-propyl alcohol to finish before the seal. Ready :)

William Hudson - Reply

I totally failed this haha, had to remove some of the new adhesive to be able to put my screen back on the iphone. It holds now but %#*@ that was the longest part...

Casano Matthieu - Reply

Do you have to change it when only changing the battery to keep it being waterproof?

dajonny - Reply

Yes. Technically speaking, it’s your phone you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. But it is strongly recommended as it’ll restore the dirt/dust proof resistance.

Hi there,

I was wondering, is it okay to replace the screen without replacing the adhesive, will the screen fall off in and places or anything.

Basically i’m asking is it a requirement to replace the adhesive when replacing the screen?

Thank you~

Roberto Bombeeto - Reply

@thymother Not required at all; screws and brackets secure the display, and it’s in no danger of falling out regardless of whether the adhesive is there or not. The adhesive seems to be more for a little extra cushioning during hard-presses and as a dust/water seal.

Jeff Suovanen -

Took me two attempts, luckily I did both screen and battery at the same time, had two screen adhesives and the second one I nailed. 10/10 guide, just take your time.

Hi there,

How do you choose the colour of the display assembly adhesive for the IPhone 6S Plus?

bobby li - Reply

The adhesive color doesn't matter, unless you're concerned about keeping up appearances. In that case opposites attract. Black LCD = White ADH.

Used this as a guide to replace the LCD and digitizer in Motorola Droid Mini (XT1030). Main difference is that the screen is not held in by screws, only adhesives. Sat the phone face down on a paper towel with books on it, while on a 3d printer bed heated to 80 degrees C, for total of about 20 minutes (IR thermometer measured screen/frame at around 65C). Will see how well this holds up…

rbol - Reply

I would pay extra for a kit that includes an alignment jig for each specific phone type. You only get ONE shot to get the alignment of the adhesive correct, and I’ve never managed to do it.

Either that, or sell the replacement displays with the adhesive already attached to the back of the display assembly so all I have to do is swap over the home button, attach my cables, peel off the protective cover over the adhesive, and just lay it down.

Rocky Carr - Reply

You should add a note that getting isopropyl in the screen will permanently ruin it. Don’t ask me how I know.

Justin Howlett - Reply

Even a brand new phone, sides tend to unstick causing slightly raised bezels. I used a hairdryer and a lot of pressure to reseat the edge. Seems flush and uniform without any lifting

I had to open my iPhone 7 up just to replace a loose screw (I could hear it vibrating next to the taptic engine), and this was the trickiest part. Working with double sided adhesives like this isn’t easy. Best tips would be to clean the old adhesive off really really well, use isopropyl alcohol, and take your time practicing before you remove the cover protection.

Also, don’t remove the last layer of cover protection until after you’ve reconnected the display and verified it’s working. Don’t want to accidentally touch the adhesive while you’re reconnecting the display.

Happy fixing

Everything went very well in replacing the screen on my Apple 8plus…except now the phone won’t accept a charge. I was very careful in all the tasks. I did accidentally let the battery connector make contact while installing the display. What might be the reason the phone is not taking a charge and is there a fix for it? TIA

I had troubles removing leftover adhesive (this took me about an hour) - isopropyl alcohol didn’t work well, so I used rubbing alcohol (Benzinum medicinale) which is also being used to remove band aid glue from skin, etc.. It worked, but I cannot recommend it, as I don’t know whether it will attack the surfaces or do some other damage. YOLO

Wilk Polarny - Reply

La benzine médicale est un dérivé d’hydrocarbure (alkanes) il est donc possible qu’il attaque les caoutchoucs et surfaces similaires. La concentration de l’alcool joue grandement sur son efficacité comme solvant, et il est donc conseillé d’utilisé un alcool à 90° (l’alcool isopropylique est courament à 70° dans le commerce)

Cajuteq -

Translation to English of Cajuteq's comment

"Medical gasoline is a derivative of hydrocarbons (alkanes) so it may attack rubbers and similar surfaces. The concentration of alcohol greatly affects its effectiveness as a solvent, and it is therefore advisable to use 90° alcohol (isopropyl alcohol is commonly 70° on the market)"

I'm wondering if this contributor means what in English we call "Benzene" That has been used in the past to remove sticking plaster residue. Benzene is indeed a hydrocarbon but it is an aromatic hydrocarbon(the simplest, most basic, and basis of the aromatic hydrocarbons) and not an alkane

Je me demande si ce contributeur veut dire ce que nous appelons en anglais "Benzene" qui a été utilisé dans le passé pour éliminer les résidus de plâtre collant. Le benzène est bien un hydrocarbure mais c'est un hydrocarbure aromatique (le plus simple, le plus basique et la base des hydrocarbures aromatiques) et non un alcane

Peter Kershaw -

Cleaning off the old adhesive is important to allow new one to be seated properly. Done it twice now. Heat and alcohol is the answer.

Kevin McNamara - Reply

this process is always the hardest and least forgiving part of every repair I do. I would estimate that I waste the adhesive and need to get a new one about 50% of the time. Seriously—can’t we come up with a better procees?

Definitely the trickiest part of any iPhone repair, but this guide helped a lot! I definitely recommend having a bright light over your work area, and perhaps even a magnifying lens to help see better and get this just right.

very helpful guide, followed step by step battery and waterproof seal replacement for my iphone7. Not one issue during or after the process... My recommendation is go slow, take your time..

Full kit purchased from ifixit.

so far very satisfied.

Juan Camilo Martinez - Reply

Painfully time-consuming but also weirdly satisfying... Bright light definitely helps, as does taking your time and plenty of awareness of where the replacement seal sits. Great guide, but made me think I should buy a Fairphone next.

If you heat too much with a pad or dryer
-or-
add books or other stuff on top that are too heavy,
you could leave a permanent discoloration spot at the bottom right of your new screen, as on mine.

While cleaning the edges with isopropyl alcohol, be careful to not use too much. My screen got some alcohol and it has a 'cloud' spot now, more noticeable in white backgrounds :(

bplusv - Reply

I used a toothpick as well as a cotton swab to clean the edges and corners . I found the corners to be more dirty than the rest of the edge and the tooth pick cleaned the gunk in the corners well. Of corse I payed close attention to not leave any wood splinters or cotton behind.

rkoch - Reply

I didn't feel the video instructions were clear due to the reliance on colour coding to determine which cover to remove before positioning the adhesive, so I ruined the adhesive. I was going to buy a replacement part but the shipping cost was almost double of the part price ($15 to ship this?!? Come on!!) so bought two that look exactly like the one on the ifixit website from amazon (got 2 adhesives and free shipping for less than the ifixit price).
