How to Replace iPhone SE 2020 Logic Board – Step-by-Step Tutorial

– Get ready to tackle those two 3.5 mm pentalobe screws hanging out at the bottom edge of your iPhone. Let’s get them out of there!

– Grab your trusty opening pick and measure out a cool 3 mm from the tip. Give it a little mark with a permanent marker so you know where to go!

– Give that blue handle a gentle tug backwards to free the Anti-Clamp’s arms.

– Slide those arms over the left or right edge of your iPhone like you own the place.

– Place the suction cups just above the home button near the bottom edge of your iPhone—one on the front and the other on the back.

– Squeeze the cups together to create a solid grip on that area. You’re doing great!

– Slide the blue handle forward to secure the arms in place.

– Rotate the handle clockwise a full turn or until you see the cups stretching.

– Keep those suction cups aligned. If they start to slip, just loosen them up a bit and get them back in line. Need help? You can always schedule a repair.

– Warm up your iOpener and slide it between the arms of the Anti-Clamp.

– Bend the iOpener so it rests on the bottom edge of your iPhone.

– Give it a minute to loosen the adhesive and create a gap.

– Slide an opening pick into the gap.

– Skip the next three steps.
