While the phone is not really waterproof that term has become almost interchangeable with the correct one which is water resistant. If you want your phone to be "like" new after it has been repaired you should always replace this front assembly adhesive.
iPhones has become slightly more complicated when it comes to replacing a broken screen. The main differences are the additional of yet another proprietary screw, the Y000 Tri-lobe used on the inside and the addition of a water resistant adhesive that holds the front display assembly in place. On top of that the cables are thinner and more fragile than ever before so while this can be a DIY repair it may be better to seek professional help if you don't already have plenty of iPhone repair experience.
This model opens from the side similar to the iPhone 7. There are several clips at the upper end of the screen though so it must be slid down a bit before you can open the screen up.
The connectors are also very fragile so care must be taken when unplugging or connecting them. They bend easily too so you have to be sure that even pressure is applied since pushing on just the center can cause them to warp. If the front facing camera flex cable is plugged in upside down you may end up with post repair complications so it is important to note the orientation of this cable during disassembly. The home button is another troubling factor as damaging the secure enclave or anything attached to it may render Touch ID inoperable and this is not a component that can be replaced by third parties in order to restore functionality.
After market LCDs for the iPhone 8 Plus are now available and for most consumers make are a good option if they wish to save some money or expect the screen to be broken again in the near future. It is also possible to acquire OEM replacement screens although they will cost more and in most cases are actually fitted with after market glass. Tempered glass is always a good investment and can restore that "smooth" feel in the cases where an after market screen replacement part lacks an oleophobic coating.
This video was recorded using an iPhone 7 and the Andonstar ADSM302 Digital HDMI microscope available here ebay.to/2FR6egm (affiliate).
Note that while it is often considered best practice to use an ESD safe pry tool when performing an iPhone 8 screen replacement we opted for precision tweezers this time to demonstrate how easy it is to damage components when prying with a plastic tool or fingernail. Given the level of precision required to replace an iPhone 8 display it this should not be a concern for capable parties. Just be sure to always carefully disconnect the battery first and watch out for small components in close proximity to the connectors. - Věda a technologie
There are a lot of good tutorials that I looked through, yours by far is the best and most comprehensive. I like how you give little tips along the way, great video angles and everything. I successfully replaced a screen on my daughter's iPhone 8 Plus and everything works perfect (so far) thanks to this tutorial! I still don't understand why everything can't be Philips head- but that's Apple for you! I'm 56 and at my age definitely need magnification with these tiny screws. I think the hardest part for me had to deal with the camera/speaker/sensor assembly removing, then wrapping to back up to fit on the new screen- but your video was super clear about how to do that where others did not have that detail. Thanks again!
This must be the most detailed phone screen repair out there. Thankyou for takeing the time to do this video you legend
Super detailed, loved this video. First time changing my screen with no experience, and I did a great job. Thanks !!
Well explained and clearly presented. The best video on You Tube for iPhone 8 Plus by far! Thanks for your efforts. Off to change my screen now with confidence and your video running at each stage.
Bloody awesome video. thanks so much for taking the time to explain it in detail. Cheers, Marty.
Great tutorial. I replace the regular iphone 8 screen, so there were a few small differences, but it was mostly the same.
This was best one I watch. Very detailed. This guy was great
Thank you for this video! Saved me a lot of money
you shouldn't use metal when disconnecting the connections... especially for the battery. it can fry the battery
love the magnifcation. thank you
This was the best screen repair video I have seen! Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you. Out of all the guides out there yours was the best in my opinion. The only thing missing I think is maybe giving people tips on what to do if a screw is stripped.
Thank you !
Great video !
Thx a lot, especially for the part wie the screen adhesive
Great tutorial, one of the best. Subbed! Happy New Year!
Thanks a million for this video. Replaced my 8 plus screen with no issues!
I wish I would have watched this first! I watch another short vid from another guy and I rushed the disassembly... you’re video helped me get it all back together with the new screen. It all works great except there is no sound out of the earpiece on phone calls. I think I may have damaged the cable when I was taking it apart. Apparently it’s a fairly common issue. Thanks again for the vid!
Best video I have seen out of three
Just replaced my screen with your tutorial and it was a success thanks
Do you have a video on replacing the battery on this model ? I couldn’t find one.If not is there a video that you would recommend ?
dude you are a legend, thanks so much for taking the time and posting this really proud of myself to have a go and fix my own screen. Your commentary was really easy to follow. Thanks again mate.
Did you ever make the video of if someone breaks their ear piece. My camera slash ear contact came off in two. I would greatly appreciate it if you can show me how to repair it.
Top drawer worked like a dream I used small flat head screwdriver to get home button off after heat was easy 😎
Hi, does anyone know of a reputable source to purchase a home button from? I accidentally damaged mine while attempting to repair the screen
Great video i follow it but the ear speaker doen t work and the home button it the original one
Wish I had watched this video instead of the quick one supplied by company of the aftermarket screen I purchased! Didn't know about the hooks at the top (cracked mine off). Then I Used metal tweezers to remove the home button and forced it a bit too much and lightly tore that cable. Now button and touch ID don't work.
Great detailed video BTW!
Excellent creation.Helpful. Nice detailed explanation
Will a 7 plus waterproof work for an 8 plus?
I just replaced a screen today and thought that that sticky piece was part on the camera connector. I got scared 😂 but once I saw this video I was like thank God 😂
Hello Sir. I think I stripped one of the side screw from the housing on the back cover. Any idea how to move it out?
Wait so those adhesives are for water resistancy? I've been told they are just adhesive and specifically that they don't provide water resistancy.
Best replacement video ever 👌
Do you have online training
Thought on what to do if the screen does not come on?
I used an impact gun on my iphone the same one i use for my big rigs lug nut to unscrew the screw. It just...it can do it all you know.
If u want to keep the phone water resistant, u should use a special liquid sealant available for the home button too.
You don't have to! It's like a rubber seal!
@@edgarescobedo3347 i put it in light and had some gaps so idk
I NEED HELP!!!! I followed your directions but then after I finished, the backlight of my screen is DIM ON THE LEFT SIDE!!! My ear piece speaker also isn't working but everything else is fine including the front camera. PLEASE HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT I DID WRONG.
I replaced my iPhone 8 Plus screen and I think I forgot to remove this plastic seal on the back of the new screen
No my iPhone keyboard is really laggy
Do you think there is a link????
Seems unlikely.
@@GoCellPhoneRepair oh ok thankyou
I have gotten used to it now so it doesnt really matter tnx
i let my phone die and then i started working on it. but now the phone wont turn on.,
did i fry the battery? should i let it charge all night?
i just tried to save a few hundred bucks but looks like im just gonna have to buy a new phone :(
Home button: about 10 seconds of heat gun on low.....hold about 6" away, moving in a circle. you can now carefully and slowly
scrape under the flex and pry up
i am replacing my screen iphone 8 plus but accidently turned on my phone while trying to remove the screen? should I just wait till the battery dies?
your link suggests the WRONG size pentalobe screwdriver
Fixed. Thank you.
I just wanna know who disliked this
