new screen would come ”in frame” so take everything out of old housing and put it in new housing

very similar to S8, 9, 10

Terrible video, no description just horrible music/noise

search youtube for iphone 6 tristar, there are much better videos

I have done lots of these on 7 and 7+………. can be done without removing the logic board, which saves a lot of steps.

Gently lift it and slide something underneath it to free it, and you can slide the old port flex out and the new one in……. just make sure its

in the right position and you can connect it to the board before setting the logic board back down.

yes 2 solder connection are hidden under a tiny piece of thin black tape, on the underside of the speaker.

To replace just the earspeaker, you will have to re-use the the flex assembly which is soldered to the earspeaker…….

For beginners, this video explains the basic steps and equipment needed to replace any soldered usb port on any device.

Very confusing…… there are 2 parts to this phones screen….. The top glass which is the Digitizer, and the display below it that displays the picture, commonly referred to as the LCD. You constantly refer to the LCD as the digitizer……… its not. On many galaxy phones the digitizer IS part of the LCD but on this model it is not.
