Step-by-Step Guide
1
Switching off your iPhone X
⚠️ Warning：Turn off your iPhone X before making repairs to protect it from potential damage.
Press the standby button and one of the two volume buttons simultaneously for about three seconds.
When the "Power Off" slider appears on the display, wipe it from left to right. Your iPhone will shut down completely within about 10 seconds.

Removing the rear case screws
2 × 6.8 mm Pentalobe
⚠️ Warning：Once you open your iPhone its specified IP68 certification will expire.
Remove the two pentalobe screws located to the right and left of the Lightning connector and put them in a screw storage box.
To ensure that you do not lose any of the removed components and screws, we recommend that you use a screw storage box. For this purpose, you can for example convert an old sewing box. We use a high-quality magnetic pad for our repairs, on which the removed components can also be arranged in the same way as they were installed in the telephone. This way you know exactly where each screw was located, which makes it much easier for you to assemble later.

Heating up the display
4 x 1.2 mm Phillips
1 x 1.7 mm Y-Type
⚠️ Warning：iPhone X is opened via the display. Since it is strongly glued to the rest of the case, you have to heat the glue first to be able to remove the display.
The rule of thumb is to heat your device only enough to be comfortable to touch without being uncomfortably hot.
- Place your iPhone X on a soft and clean surface to avoid scratching the back of your iPhone X when lifting the display.
- Now use a hot air tool, such as a hot air dryer or a regular hairdryer, to run evenly over the glued edge of the display.
4
Detaching the display
⚠️ Warning：Be careful not to go further than 5 mm into the gap with your tool to avoid damaging any components inside the Iphone X.
Place the suction cup on the bottom edge of your device and pull it upwards to create a narrow gap between the stainless steel and display frame.
- Insert a sturdy, flat tool into the narrow gap to enlarge it. At the same time, press the display slightly upwards with the tool, using flat plastic picks.
- Move the tool one step at a time around the frame of your iPhone to remove the stuck display completely. Use the plectrum to keep pushing upwards so that the noses come off the stainless steel frame.
5
Opening the display
⚠️ Warning：To avoid overstretching the sensitive flex cables connected to the display, you should not completely fold the display over while it is still connected.
- Remove the display from the aluminium frame by gently pushing it upwards with a hard plastic plectrum.
- When the display is completely detached, you can slowly fold it up to the side of the standby button.
- Lean it against a stable object so that it remains in a vertical position.
6
Disconnecting the battery
1 × 3.0 mm Y-Type
3 × 1.0 mm Y-Type
1 × 3.6 mm Y-Type
⚠️ Warning：Note that the screws installed in iPhone X vary in length.
When starting the repair, always disconnect the battery connector to avoid a potential short circuit.
- Unscrew the Y-type screws with a Y-type screwdriver and remove the cover plate.
- Now carefully disconnect the battery connector by sliding it under with a flat plastic tool. We use a plastic spudger for this.
7
Disconnecting the display connectors
4 x 1.2 mm Phillips
1 x 1.7 mm Y-Type
⚠️ Warning：To avoid damaging something on the logicboard while disconnecting the connectors, you should always use your tools from the side where there are no components.
The display is attached to the rest of the iPhone X via three connectors.
- Use a spudger to carefully remove the connectors from the Logicboard one by one. Please be aware, that the ear piece flex cable on the top of the display is slightly glued.
- When all connectors are disconnected, you can remove the display completely.
