How to Avoid damaging New iPhone LCD & Screen - by Sintron

after we sold over 10,000+ LCD & Screen .we had collected all the returns back from our customers .below are the pictures we were testing once again for the returned ones .we would analyze every one of them .and to make sure we understand every customer's concern and to have better quality & customer experience in the future .

we found that if the LCD & Screen didn't get cracked during logistics delivery . and you found item can't work after Warranty Check . over 90% possibility it is related with the issue of "Flex cable" or the "Plug"

1. so what are the problems with the "Flex cable" ?

for iPhone flex cable , it's very fragile and easy to get damaged . so the first thing you need to keep in mind is . NEVER EVER "PULL THE CABLE"

 below are the pictures of the "flex cable" and another is the "IC" for LCD & Screen .

When you got Sintron iPhone LCD & Screen .make sure you don't pull the cable at all .the cable is connecting the IC with LCD & Screen .once you pull it .it's possible to get detached from the Screen .there are many pins .the most possible situation is ,only a few pins got detached .so you would see the LCD is showing correct display .while some parts of touch screen might not work perfectly .this is possible because some pins (which is in charge of date transferring) already got detached . so only Parts of data can be transferred to communicate with IC .

2.How about the Plug ?

for new beginner ( no offense ,but sometimes expert too ) ,when you put back the plug .( see how to avoid damaging logic board ) ,try to notice not to have misalignment error and please check "how to remove and connect the cable notice" ,

the key point is , after you plug it in correctly and power on your iPhone .don't touch or move the cable at all . because the cable is sending date all the time even you don't use the screen . if you touch the cable even a little bit . it's possible to cause the touch screen not function correctly . so when you see the touch function is not good .don't judge too fast .please try to double check if the cable is fixed good in position .

so to be safe .please must remove the battery plug and also put an insulator between the plug and your logic board .then usually in this case . your iPhone would be very safe !

when removing the connector ,do not use "hand" to pull them ! instead ,Use the flat end of a spudger, or a fingernail, to disconnect the digitizer cable by prying it straight up from its socket on the logic board.

and most importantly .When reconnecting the cable, do not press the center of the connector. if the position is correct ,you don't need too much force .Press one end of the connector, then press the opposite end. Pressing in the center of the connector can bend the

component and cause damage.

Common mistakes while replacing iPhone screen-- case 3 wrong screws size

after you disassemble your iphone screen .if the screws are stored and look like as below picture.then you will be in trouble!

there's a lot of different screws size in iPhone ,they might be differing for only 0.1mm.

for our common sense ,interchange some screws should have no harm .but that's wrong !

Using the wrong screw in the reassembly can result in permanently damaged parts, including destroying the main circuit board, other times they become a nightmare for the unfortunate technician who has to service the phone the next time.

it's also possible to penetrate the back of Screen directly with physical damaged you can observe right away. so please must keep track of "every screw" !

below might be a good idea to help you keep tracking of them. where each screw goes you can draw a rough diagram of the phone on a sheet of paper and stick the screws down in their approximate locations with tape.

Common mistakes while replacing iPhone screen-- case 2 Forgot to transfer front proximity sensor / camera ring

Usually new beginners don't even know what they are and forgot to transfer them to new screen. Bonded to the original display units is a small clear plastic guide for the face camera, it stops it moving around by keeping it properly aligned relative to the hole in the screen.

When the plastic ring isn't transferred with the new display it can result in the camera showing strange blurred edges or pointing in the wrong direction or proximity sensor not working ( while you listen to phone . the screen won't light off )
