iPhone 7 LCD and Digitizer Replacement
Введение
Перейти к шагу 1For an easier repair, use our fix kit and follow this shorter guide to replace your iPhone’s entire screen.
For more advanced fixers, this guide will help you replace only the iPhone 7 LCD and digitizer assembly (a.k.a. the bare “front panel”). This requires you to transfer several components from your original screen to the new one before installing it—including the front camera assembly, earpiece speaker, LCD shield plate, and home/Touch ID sensor.
For all screen/display repairs, it's important to carefully transfer the original home/Touch ID sensor onto the new display in order for it to function. The solid state home button is paired to its original logic board by Apple, so replacing it will render it unusable.

-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 3.4 mm pentalobe screws on the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
-
-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping over the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
-
If the broken glass makes it difficult to get a suction cup to stick in the next few steps, try folding a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lifting the display with that instead.

Re-insert your tool at the lower right corner of the iPhone, and slide it around the corner and up the right side of the phone to separate the adhesive.

When I took off the home button, a small black square rubber piece fell out. while prying off the cable.
Can anyone tell me where this is supposed to go when I put the home button back on.
The small black square that fell off is originally located on the bottom pentalobe screw bracket on the screen. It can slide back over it if you place it right.

Thank you!!!
useless guide without a guide how to mount it all back on.
The home button wont fit back in its whole
You have to put the flex through the hole from the front, and set the button against the front of the screen. Just like you got it out, in reverse.
