iPhone 7 Plus Front Panel Assembly Cable Bracket

My Problem

The iPhone was scuffed in many ways, so I was like, let's buy a new case, screen, home button, etc...

My Fix

Everything went well, except for the screen, which still had some white pressure spots, even though it was a new screen.

The volume buttons are a pain in the **** to replace, but with enough patience they'll fit!

My Advice

Try to keep track of your screws, if you don't you will regret it when re-assembling the device.

My Problem

Broken screen

My Fix

I’ve done a few of these repairs so it went very well except I didn’t realize the iPhone 7 had a new type of screw inside the phone. I had to put off the repair until I was able to order the tri-point driver

My Advice

Don’t forget to order the Tri-point Y000 driver bit and a handle to go with it.

You will also need some type of heat source (hair dryer or heat pad) to soften the seal around the screen before removal

My Problem

Another broken iphone screen. I repair phone and other electronics for a living. This was a family members phone so not a paid job but you always help out family.

My Fix

Like clock work. iPhone 7 in minuets.

My Advice

Since this was a family members phone there is no advice. But if you repairs as much as I do treat every repair the same family or not. Perfection , speed, quality work, quality part. My repair took under 10 minutes, but I have done hundred of these repairs. Take your time if you need it. If not make it the best.

My Problem

Attempting to replace the broken screen, not LCD.

My Fix

Didn't quite make the repair. Realized once it was torn apart that the screen I was sent (not from ifixit) was the wrong one. The Y000 repair tool they sent with their screen wasn't very good and it stripped out. I ordered the tool from ifixit in order to get the phone put back together.

My Advice

Unless you have the machine to separate the screens, or an extreme amount of patience you'll want to wait until they release the correct replacement part.

My Problem

Battery needed servicing. I was still running the original battery, but mainly on the charger 24/7.

My Fix

Followed the guide and the replacement was very easy.

My Advice

You will need a Tri-wing screwdriver. Luckily I had a frend that had one. If not for him, I would have had to delay the replacement until I found one.

My Problem

The original battery was so low in "health" that it began shutting the computer off sporadically at charge levels lower than 50% - the computer was no longer reliable unless it was powered through the AC adapter.

My Fix

Your battery worked very well, starting off at around 30% charge and showing 99% health. There was a noticeable increase in speed - booting and opening applications.

My Advice

Beware of Java: A Java update came up almost immediately after boot-up, and I simply reacted to update Java - this may have led to several applications not opening or crashing. I have no real way of substantiating this, but I am now very hesitant about updating Java.
