We call the screen or display that part of the smartphone on which graphics are displayed. Since typing, numbers, and working with applications, and surfing the Internet is simply impossible without it, the breakdown of the spare part leads to blocking of the entire device. iPhone screen replacement is a very real undertaking. Even if you have the most basic concepts about iPhone repair, you can implement it. It remains only to buy the original screen - we will help you choose the right one. Replacement tools - for example, a set of screwdrivers for the iPhone can also be ordered from us.
What is a display, how does it differ from a touchscreen?
The display is not the top glass that we touch. This is a special graphics card, just like in TVs, computers, which broadcasts the image. AT touch phone the screen or display is closely associated with the touchscreen, sometimes it is even impossible to separate them, and therefore only with the help of a special tool can you change the entire module.
Screens on iPhone have the following characteristics and functions:
- Broadcast the picture;
- Installed under glass and UNDER touchscreen;
- If appears on iPhone blue screen or black cracks, but not on the surface, but, as it were, inside, this indicates damage to the display itself;
- When you click on the screen, such interference changes shape.
The touchscreen, in turn, is just a touch pad designed to respond to the user's finger presses and transmit commands to the hardware through this.
How to understand that the screen is broken?
Visually, as we have already said, a breakdown iPhone screen give out the interference under the glass. There may not be cracks on its surface - this often happens when a large load is placed on the device. Then the sagging glass damages the screen. In this and other cases, the following factors indicate that the iPhone screen does not work:
- Changing the image to one solid fill - white, green, blue, black screen, even without the branded "apple";
- The backlight works, but the image does not appear;
- There are multi-colored horizontal or vertical stripes, "noise";
- Some pixels are embossed;
- Does not respond to unlocking - the problem may also be in the touchscreen;
- Liquid crystals seem to flow.
The causes of failure are either mechanical damage, or moisture and dirt. Unfortunately, this part is not repairable in any way. That's why Kohl appeared on the iPhone White screen, this indicates the need to purchase a new part and replace it.
What is the difference between originals and screen copies?
There is a gradation of spare parts, depending on their origin, price and quality are determined. Here is an example:
Copy - this indicates that you are buying the cheapest copy. You should not expect quality from it: the image will be blurry or out of focus. However, it WILL be, which indicates that the part performs its function.
High Copy - the same, the part does not have guarantees, but the image quality is already better.
Original New China - maybe the best choice for iPhone screen replacement. Parts are manufactured under the Apple franchise and to quality standards. However, due to Chinese origin, they are more expensive.
Original Used is just used parts, you can buy them on the black market.
The original spare parts from the USA themselves are offered only in authorized service centers, and alas, in our country they are also easily replaced. Chinese copies. The Yodamobile store has a sufficient level of accreditation and works with certified suppliers of Original (China) parts. We are responsible for the quality of each of them, we give a guarantee for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase.
Usually the iPhone works without failures and problems for many years, but sometimes multi-colored spots (yellow, blue, white or black) may appear on its screen. If the phone is under warranty, then the first thing to do is to use it, since there is a possibility that this is a factory defect. But if you are to blame for the occurrence of such malfunctions, then you should contact the service center.
Causes of spots
The appearance of spots on Apple display can be caused by the following reasons:
- software failures;
- overheat;
- moisture ingress;
- mechanical damage.
Crashes in software usually lead to the appearance of light spots, and this is treated by changing the firmware. This operation is available for regular user, but it is worth remembering that any interruption of the firmware process (for example, due to power failures) will simply disable the device. Therefore, everything must be done using the source uninterruptible power supply. And even better - in the conditions of a service center, where its employees will be responsible for such failures.
Overheating can change the properties of the adhesive that holds the layers of the display module together. And if a yellow spot appears on the display, then most likely this is our case. Usually this is a consequence of a factory defect, therefore, it will require a replacement of the temperature sensor. The display will also have to be replaced, since its restoration is extremely rare.
Liquid entering the iPhone leads to oxidation of the screen cable contacts. The consequences of this appear after some time and can be very diverse - from spots to complete inoperability.
And the most annoying - mechanical damage when the phone is dropped. Firstly, this is definitely not a warranty case. Secondly, as a result of the impact, microcracks can form, due to which the crystals are destroyed. The result is dark spots and the need to replace the screen.
What to do in case of stains?
With this malfunction, the only reasonable solution is to contact the service center. The nature of the problem is too serious and self-repair is highly undesirable. Our Total Apple center employs experienced craftsmen, modern equipment, and original spare parts that allow you to diagnose and repair your phone quickly and efficiently.
The new iPhone X received a high-contrast HDR OLED display with extended color gamut. Unfortunately, the screen is the most fragile part of the novelty. The display may be severely damaged by a fall or impact - the glass will break. Also sometimes there are such malfunctions:
- like the appearance of stripes,
- flickering or ripples on the screen,
- sensor malfunctions and other breakdowns.
If you find one of the above problems, it is worth getting your phone repaired as soon as possible. The display module of the new model is non-separable and can only be replaced as a whole, even if only the glass is damaged. You can change the screen on the IPhone X for a small surcharge at the pickup point of the AdvParts store in Moscow or on your own using professional tools.
Where to buy a display on the iPhone X
The online store site sells only high-quality spare parts, mainly with the Original label. Such display modules are externally indistinguishable from the original, those with which Apple devices go on sale. The high-quality screen on the iPhone X produces the same juicy and bright picture, has the same resolution as the original, and the touchscreen also responds quickly to touches.
The main part of any modern smartphone- its display. This is the first thing that meets us when we get acquainted with the gadget. We encounter the display hundreds of times a day, most often it has to be changed when the iPhone falls.
Any manufacturer of equipment pays almost the greatest attention to this module, because the quality of the picture on the screen and responsiveness touch panel depends on the perception of the device by the user.
To better understand how technological and complex the module is on the front of our smartphones, let's see what it consists of.
Protective glass
The topmost layer of the display that the user interacts with.
The tactile sensations of the user depend on the quality of the glass and the oleophobic coating on it. When working with the iPhone, the finger simply glides over the surface, does not stick with a quick press, and does not rest against a sharp swipe.
Very often, after the fall of the iPhone, it is the glass that suffers. Specialists service centers may offer a replacement. protective glass instead of replacing the entire display. The procedure is not easy, but parts are cheaper.
The glasses of the new iPhone models are very thin, curved around the perimeter and have smoothed edges near the Home button and speaker.
Even the best Chinese glasses are inferior in quality to the original ones, when they are replaced, a sharp transition or deepening of the button is felt, often after replacement, the sensors on the front surface of the smartphone begin to fail.
Layer of transparent glue
The protective glass is glued directly to the matrix. This allows you to remove the air gap and reduce the thickness of the display.
A high-quality adhesive layer will not distort colors, prevent dust from getting under the glass and securely hold the top layer even during the most active use.
When replacing glass, a low-quality adhesive layer can be used, which will change its color over time, begin to distort the picture or let dust particles through.
Touchpad
It is also called a touchscreen or simply a sensor. Responsible for recognizing user clicks.
The original element is made of a thin layer of glass and allows you to determine the place of pressing with an accuracy of up to a millimeter. At the same time, the sensor has support for multi-touch technology.
This element suffers when falling much less frequently than protective glass.
Polarizing filter
A special layer that makes the image of the matrix visible to the human eye.
Without it, we would not be able to see anything on the screen at all.
Matrix
It consists of two plates, between which liquid crystals are located. Under the action of current, these crystals begin to transmit the corresponding illumination radiation.
This is how the IPS matrix is used, used in all iPhone models except new iPhone x.
The system itself was slightly modified by Apple specialists, and later called Retina marketers.
Backlight
A light source that is located behind the matrix. He is responsible for the illumination of the crystals so that the image becomes bright and clear.
By themselves, the crystals do not glow, but only pass the illumination light through themselves.
Layer of additional sensors
This layer has appeared in the iPhone since iPhone models 6s and is needed to recognize the force of pressing the display.
A special grid of capacitor boards is connected to a power source. Its task is an ultra-precise measurement of the distance from the finger to the matrix. Software algorithms analyze information from this grid and allow 3D-Touch technologies to work.
Frame
This is a kind of basis on which all the above elements are attached. The frame itself is installed directly on the frame of the smartphone.
Here is such a “sandwich” fit the developers in the display unit, the thickness of which does not exceed a couple of millimeters. Now it’s clear why the smartphone screen is so expensive, and its replacement often costs a pretty penny.
Some iPhone owners uses for this special applications, and may not be aware of the existence of a simpler and affordable way provided by the manufacturer.To get started, select the program that you intend to make.
