Step 1 — Pentalobe Screws
Before disassembling your iPhone, discharge the battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
Remove the two 3.6 mm-long Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.

Step 2 — iSclack Opening Procedure
The next three steps demonstrate using the iSclack, a great tool for safely opening the iPhone 6 that we recommend for anyone doing more than one repair. If you aren't using
the iSclack, skip down three steps for an alternate method.
If the plastic depth gauge is attached at the center of the iSclack, remove it now—it's not needed for larger phones like the iPhone 6.
Close the handle on the iSclack, opening the suction-cup jaws.

Step 3
Place the bottom of your iPhone in between the suction cups.
Position the iSclack's upper suction cup against the display, just above (but not covering) the home button.
Open the handles to close the jaws of the iSclack. Center the suction cups and press them firmly onto the top and bottom of the iPhone.
If your display or back glass is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may help the suction cups adhere. The iSclack also includes two pieces of tape for this purpose.

Step 4
Hold onto your iPhone securely and close the handle of the iSclack to separate the suction cups, pulling the front panel up from the rear case.
The iSclack is designed to safely open your iPhone just enough to separate the pieces, but not enough to damage the display cables.
Peel the two suction cups off your iPhone.
Skip the next three steps and continue on to Step 8.

Step 5 — Manual Opening Procedure
If you don't have an iSclack, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel:
Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.
Be sure the cup is pressed securely onto the screen to get a tight seal.
If your display is badly cracked,
covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the
suction cup to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction cup. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction cup to the broken screen.

Step 6
While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.
Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The display assembly is a much tighter fit than most devices.
Using a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while continuing to pull up with the suction cup.
There are several clips holding the front panel assembly to the rear case, so you may need to use a combination of the suction cup and plastic opening tool to free the front panel assembly.

Step 7
Pull the plastic nub to release the vacuum seal on the suction cup.
Remove the suction cup from the display assembly.
Step 8 — Opening up the phone
Open the iPhone by swinging the home button end of the front panel assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge.
Several clips along the top edge of the front panel form a partial hinge.
During reassembly, align the clips just below the top edge of the rear case. Then, slide the front panel upward until its top edge is flush with that of the rear case.

Step 9
Open the display to about a 90º angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
In a pinch, an unopened canned beverage works well for this.
Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.
Step 10 — Removing the battery connector bracket screws
Remove the following Phillips screws from the battery connector bracket:
One 2.2 mm screw
One 3.2 mm screw
During your repair, keep track of
each screw and make sure it goes
back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your phone.

Step 17
Make sure the battery is disconnected before you disconnect or reconnect the cable in this step.
Use a spudger or a fingernail to disconnect the display data cable connector.
When reassembling your phone, the display data cable may pop off its connector. This can result in white lines or a blank screen when powering your phone back on. If that happens, simply reconnect the cable and power cycle your phone. The best way to power cycle your phone is to
disconnect and reconnect the battery connector .
