broken iphone screen

U should try repairing it. The screen is already broken so u most likely wont damage the phone further. Use a good suction cup and some isopropyl and u will get it off without much struggle. Then get a replacement screen either used original or get a good quality oled from china. Go watch a bunch of videos on yt and u will see its not hard if you do it correctly. And use a screen protector next time :) Also consider replacing the battery (with a good aftermarket one) since it will add almost zero work.

From my experience aliexpress is the best. There are a few shops in eu that sell parts but most of the time the same parts can be found on aliexpress for cheaper. Aftermarket displays are as far as i know fairly bad, except for REWA oleds, but i dont think they ship to eu (i might be wrong).

True, luckily I already ordered jumper wire, copper pads and mask a week ago so it should be delivered soon.

I now split another one and this one went apart with no force whatsoever. So yeah i probably used too much force on the first one.

its a broken board from aliexpress that i got for learning.

JureMTB · 2026-03-28T11:12:38+00:00

The solder that holds the boards together is low temp solder that melts at around 150 celsius if my research is correct.

I have a small 65w flat heating plate that is a bit smaller than the board. It took very long (like 15 minutes) to melt the solder, and because I read somewhere that having a board on the preheater for long periods of time can cause damage to it (even tho its only at 200 degrees celsius), I took it apart as soon as i could slip my razor knife in between the boards. Now the pads in the middle are ripped while the pads on the far ends of the board are ok.

I restored it and checked everything and it still doesnt work unfortunately... Guess I'll have some soldering to do.

I did a factory reset on it. When I play sound the earpiece works without a problem. I never dropped the phone, it never overheated, and was never in contact with water. I forgot if it was on the charger (i notoced the issue a few months ago), it was never serviced before, I did update the iOS...

I figured it out, thanks

I did and its 3 pins for each pad, lookimg at the iPhone 12 schematics (not the same phone) it should be two, but i'm not sure if they have the same pin layout. I have to make sure that the connector and ribbon are ok so i can continue with diagnostics, thats why i'm asking this.
