Here we have an iPhone XS Max with broken back glass. Run function test first. All going well. Test wireless charging - nothing goes wrong.

Next, let’s scan the back glass with the Laser Machine.
-
Turn the phone off and place it upside down under the focus positioning probe. Press the ‘auto focus’ button on the panel.
-
With the focus length indicator on, place the phone upside down on the operating panel.
-
-
-
Run the matching program. Choose corresponding model and drawing. Get all parameters set.
-
Click ‘Red Light’ to turn on laser aiming function. Click ‘Mark’ to scan the back glass with the laser light.
-
-
-
-
Once finished, the back glass becomes transparent.
-
Again, let’s turn on the phone and run function test. All going well. Wireless charging also goes well.
-
-
-
Next, let’s separate the back glass from the mid-frame. The scanned back glass can be separated easily.
-
Insert the metal pry piece into the gap between the back glass and the mid-frame. Slide back and forth to separate the back glass from the mid-frame.
-
-
-
Once the back glass has been separated completely, scan with the laser light to remove residual glue on the mid-frame.
-
-
-
Once done, clean the mid-frame thoroughly.
-
Apply some B7000 glue to the mid-frame. Get the new big hole back glass in position and adhere with proper force.
-
Once done, clip the four sides of the phone with clamps and wait several minutes for the glue to dry out.
