iPhone X Face ID Replacement
Введение
Перейти к шагу 1Apple has paired a couple of assemblies to the logic board, presumably for security purposes to ensure that Face ID can't be hacked. Therefore it is impossible for the do-it-yourself repairer to replace any of those three parts and still have Face ID work.
The only thing an average person can do outside of taking the phone to Apple for repair is to replace all three parts together with ones salvaged from an original phone. Here's what's needed:
- Logic Board
- Front Facing Camera Assembly (Paired to that logic board)
- Proximity Sensor / Earphone Assembly (Paired to that logic board)
That being said, there are other repairs that can be made if Face ID stops working, but they generally require skill in microsoldering; not something just anyone can do. For example, the flex cable that connects the front camera to the logic board can get damaged and it is possible to replace it; it's just that it's very difficult without precise equipment and a particular set of skills.
This guide will step you through replacing the three paired components from a damaged phone into a new phone.

-
-
Beneath the screw you just removed lies a small metal grounding clip. If it didn't already come out along with the screw, remove it now.
-
-
-
Remove two more Y000 screws securing the speaker/sensor assembly:
-
One 1.6 mm screw
-
One 1.3 mm screw
-
-
-
Using a spudger, gently pry under the top edge of the speaker assembly, and flip it over—down and away from the top edge of the display.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer or heat gun or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the top front of the display for about a minute, in order to soften the adhesive securing the sensors.
-
-
-
Carefully slide the flat edge of your spudger underneath the flex cable below the microphone.
-
Twist gently to separate the microphone, while being careful not to strain or damage the flex cable.
-
If needed, use the point of the spudger to finish separating the microphone from its notch in the front panel.
-
-
-
Working left to right, slide an opening pick beneath the flex cable and underneath the proximity sensor + flood illuminator module.
-
Gently wiggle and lift to separate the module from its notch in the front panel.
-
-
Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:Tweezers$4.99
-
Use tweezers to wiggle the ambient light sensor and lift it from its notch in the display.
-
-
-
If you successfully removed the entire ambient light sensor, as shown in the first photo, continue to the next step below.
-
If the white diffuser strip detached and remains embedded in the display, as shown in the second photo, you will need to carefully lever it out along the top edge using a thin blade or pry tool. Re-applying heat first may make this task a bit easier.
-
-
-
Remove the earpiece speaker and front sensor assembly.
-
Proximity sensor
-
Flood illuminator
-
The module must be positioned so that these components are not obstructed by any adhesive.
-
-
-
Remove the seven screws securing the bracket below the Taptic Engine and speaker:
-
Two Y000 1.9 mm screws
-
One Y000 1.2 mm screw
-
One Y000 1.6 mm screw
-
One Phillips 2.4 mm screw
-
One Phillips 1.7 mm screw
-
One Phillips 1.5 mm screw
-
-
-
Lift the bracket from the edge nearest the battery. Don't try to remove it fully, as it's still connected via a small flex cable.
-
-
-
While holding the bracket out of the way, use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the flex cable underneath.
-
-
-
Insert a spudger under the top edge of the speaker near the edge of the iPhone's case.
-
Gently pry up and lift the top edge of the speaker.
-
-
-
Hold the speaker by its side edges and rock it side-to-side, separating the adhesive securing it to the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
Pull the speaker away from the bottom edge of the iPhone until the adhesive gasket separates.
-
-
-
Use tweezers to peel off and remove all the old gasket from the frame and speaker.
-
Use a microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean all the gasket's adhesive residue from the frame and speaker.
-
Before installing the speaker gasket, find its proper orientation on the bottom of the speaker—the large cutout on the gasket should go around the speaker grille mesh.
-
Remove the larger, clear liner from the gasket and use tweezers to carefully put the gasket into place on the bottom of the speaker.
-
Use your fingers or a spudger to firmly press the gasket into place to secure it with the adhesive.
-
Remove the remaining liner and put the speaker into place, making sure the speaker connector doesn't get stuck underneath.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to disconnect the Taptic Engine flex cable by prying it straight up from its socket.
-
-
-
Each piece of adhesive has a black pull-tab at the end, which is lightly adhered to the side edge of the battery.
-
-
-
Repeat the above step to separate the remaining two adhesive tabs from the bottom edge of the battery.
-
-
-
To increase your odds of success:
-
Don't press down on the battery. Hold the iPhone firmly by its sides.
-
Keep the strips flat and unwrinkled as you pull.
-
Pull very slowly, giving the strip time to stretch and separate. It takes around 15-30 seconds of stretching to remove each strip.
-
Pull at a low angle so the strip doesn't snag along the bottom edge of the battery.
-
If a strip does break off underneath the battery and cannot be retrieved, move on to the other strips and then continue with the additional steps below.
-
-
Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:Tweezers$4.99
-
Grab one of the outer battery adhesive tabs and slowly pull it away from the battery, toward the bottom of the iPhone.
-
Pull steadily, maintaining constant tension on the strip until it slips out from between the battery and the rear case.
-
-
-
Repeat the previous step to remove the strip on the opposite side, leaving the center strip for last.
-
-
-
Remove the center strip, being careful not to snag it on the speaker flex cable.
-
-
-
Peel and separate the pull tab on the final adhesive strip, on the top edge of the upper battery cell.
-
-
-
Pull and remove the final adhesive strip.
-
If you removed all four adhesive strips successfully, skip the next step.
-
Wait about one minute for the alcohol solution to weaken the adhesive. Use the flat end of a spudger to gently lift the battery.
-
-
-
If any of the adhesive strips broke off and the battery remains stuck to the rear case, prepare an iOpener or use a hair dryer to heat the rear case directly behind the battery.
-
Flip the iPhone back over and thread a strong piece of string (such as dental floss or a length of thin guitar string) underneath the battery.
-
Wrap the ends of the string around a cloth (or wear gloves) to protect your fingers.
-
Pull the string from side to side in a sawing motion all along the length of the battery to separate the adhesive. This can take some time since the adhesive is slow to deform, but with patience it will come free. Do not deform or damage the battery.
-
-
-
Grasp the battery from the bottom edge and remove it from the iPhone.
-
Adhere the battery, disconnect it, and continue reassembling your device.
-
-
-
Using the flat end of a spudger, disconnect the three front camera assembly cables:
-
The dot projector.

-
When the SIM card is ejected, a pin slides out from the frame and pushes on the eject lever in the SIM card carrier. The pin needs to be pushed back into the frame so it will not block the removal of the logic board.
-
-
Инструмент, используемый на этом этапе:Tweezers$4.99
-
Use a pair of fine tip tweezers to slide the SIM card eject lever toward the side of the case.
-
The eject lever should look like this when you're done. The pin will no longer block the removal of the logic board.
-
-
-
The logic board assembly is mounted on two posts going through the lower board and are secured to the upper board. In order to remove it, you must lift it evenly straight up to clear the stand-offs.

If I change the upper screen speakers can my face if start working back cause the one that is there before is not working again
It may be a language issue, but I am not completely clear about what you are asking.
The upper speaker is attached to the earpiece speaker assembly that also has the flood illuminator, which is part of the Face ID system. That same assembly also contains a microphone and proximity sensor, but only the flood illuminator is required for Face ID to work.
So as long as you have the original flood illuminator, the other parts of that assembly can be replaced, given a technician with sufficient skills and equipment. The earpiece speaker is held on with just two solder points and is relatively easy to replace, but the other components require microsoldering skills.
So as long as you have the original earpiece speaker assembly, Face ID should work. If you replace the entire assembly, you will lose Face ID. You can, however, replace just the speaker itself as long as you keep the rest of the original assembly.
iPhone X Earpiece Speaker Replacement Without Losing Face ID
Since this got published I think MS has released a bypass on broken face ID replacements.
If the MS you mention stands for Microsoft, then you're way off base, as only Apple can do this sort of thing.
It's my understanding the release of iOS 18 has enabled the replacement of some parts that formerly caused pairing issues, but as far as I know, the Face ID parts are not covered. I would love to hear from someone with authoritative knowledge if that's not the case.
