Open Your Phone

You need to turn off your iPhone 8 Plus before opening the phone and performing Apple repairs. To turn off the iPhone 8 Plus, just press and hold the power button for a few seconds. A bar will appear on the phone, drag it to the right to turn off the iPhone 8 Plus.

Go to your mobile repair toolbox, take a five-point screwdriver and unscrew the two screws on either side of the charging port. The purpose of these screws is to secure the lower part of the screen on the chassis or frame.

Take the hair dryer and heat the edges around your phone. This will soften the sealing adhesive between the screen and the chassis to make it easier to remove. Keep heating the edges of your phone to make it easier to separate the screen from the frame.

Take a pick and insert it into the bottom-right edge of the phone to create a groove. Then drag the pick on the bottom edge of the phone. Repeat the same for the other three edges of the phone to separate the screen from the chassis. Slide the screen down and open. The screen is still connected to the motherboard by three flats, be careful not to tear the flats.

With the help of pliers, remove the protective metal plate of the connectors. Take a plastic spatula and use it to separate the battery connector, touch connector, and LCD of the phone.

Next, disconnect the connector for the Home button and Force Touch. Go to the top of the iPhone 8 Plus. Now, using a three-sided screwdriver, loosen the two screws holding the protective metal base that keeps the connectors of the front camera, the proximity sensor, and the speaker of the iPhone 8 Plus safe.

With the help of tweezers, remove the metal base and separate it from the phone. Now, using a plastic spatula, separate the front camera panel, the proximity sensor, and the speaker of the iPhone 8 Plus. You can see that the iPhone 8 Plus screen is now separated from the frame and chassis.

The speaker of the iPhone 8 Plus is now separated from the phone.
