Hey there, savvy fixer! To keep those tiny screws and parts from playing hide and seek, we suggest snagging a screw storage solution. An old sewing box can work wonders! At Salvation Repair, we love our trusty magnetic pad where you can lay out your parts just like they were in the phone. This way, you won’t lose any screws or mix them up, preventing any mishaps with your device. Happy repairing!
Step 3
Just a little tip from us to you: make sure the screen is warm enough to work with, but not so hot that it feels like you’re touching a campfire! Keep it cozy, and you’ll be just fine.
Step 4
– Kick things off by sticking a suction cup on the bottom edge of your display. Gently pull it upwards to create a tiny gap between the display and the case.
– Next, grab a flat, sturdy tool and slide it into the gap to widen it. A hard plastic plectrum and the iFlex are your best buddies for this job!
Opening up your iPhone 11 Pro means saying goodbye to that shiny manufacturer’s warranty, along with the IP68 dust and water protection warranty. So, proceed with caution, and maybe keep that warranty in mind while you work!
Hey there, repair champ! The hard plastic plectrum is designed to be thinner at the corners, making it easier to slide in. Plus, it helps you avoid pushing it too deep into your device, which is a win-win! The iFlex, made from super thin yet sturdy metal, has sharp edges that can be a bit sneaky. To keep your device’s frame looking sharp and scratch-free, we suggest starting this step with the iFlex and switching to the hard plastic plectrum as soon as you can. You’re doing great—keep it up!
