Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 7 Steps
Heads up: this guide is aimed at folks who know their way around a toolkit.
This guide is perfect for repair pros looking to fix a broken back glass. We're starting off with the Back Glass Separating step, using the iPhone XS Max as an example. No need to disassemble the whole phone—just a little help from the Laser Machine, and you're on your way to a smooth refurbish job.
Step 1
- We’ve got an iPhone XS Max sporting a shattered back glass. First up: run a quick function test to make sure everything’s behaving. If all checks out, give the wireless charging a try—shouldn’t be any surprises here.
Step 2
- Alright, time to give that back glass a laser scan!
- Power down the phone and flip it over so it’s face down under the focus positioning probe. Hit the ‘auto focus’ button on the panel to get things dialed in.
- When the focus length indicator lights up, place the phone face down on the operating panel and let the magic happen.
Step 3
Heads up: when the laser light gets to work, there might be a bit of smog. So, let's power up that Air Purifier to keep things fresh!
- Fire up the matching software and pick your device model—make sure you’ve got the right blueprint loaded. Set all your parameters so your laser knows what’s up.
- Hit ‘Red Light’ to get that laser aiming—now you’re in the zone! Tap ‘Mark’ and let the laser work its magic across the back glass. Smooth moves!
Step 4
- When you're done, the back glass will look crystal clear.
- Now, power on the phone and run through the function tests. If everything checks out, wireless charging should be working smoothly too.
Step 5
- Alright, let’s get that back glass off the mid-frame! The scanned back glass is just waiting to be freed!
- Slide that handy metal pry tool into the little gap between the back glass and the mid-frame. Give it a gentle wiggle back and forth to separate them like a pro!
Step 6
- After you’ve fully separated the back glass, give the mid-frame a once-over with the laser light to zap away any leftover glue bits.
Step 7
- Give the mid-frame a good clean once you’re finished.
- Squeeze some B7000 glue onto the mid-frame, then place the new big hole back glass carefully and press it down with a bit of pressure.
- After that, use clamps to hold all four sides of the phone firmly and let the glue set for a few minutes.
