Any smartphone has its design flaws, and the iPhone is not without them. Each of the models of this device is characterized by some "branded" joint. For the iPhone of the fifth and sixth series, such a jamb is a display that has moved away from the case. In this article, we will tell you what to do if this problem has affected you, and whether you should try to solve it yourself.

It is worth noting that most often the screen leaves on the iPhone 6 and 6S models, however, users of the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C similar to them in design also often contact the service with a similar problem.

The specifics of the design of the "fives" and "sixes" is as follows - a plastic frame is first attached to the metal case of the device, and a display is placed in it. Such an assembly scheme can hardly be called reliable - fragile plastic holds a weighty glass screen, and therefore, despite the fact that Apple factories do everything very carefully and efficiently, the slightest user mistake can cause the iPhone display to start to move away.

The screen may come off even if the smartphone is slightly dropped. But what can I say, it is not uncommon for the display to start to go off simply because dust is clogged under the frame. Dust slowly corrodes the glue, and the user will first notice a slight screen play, and then start to hear a characteristic click somewhere in the upper corner of the device - this is almost a 100% sign that the display has begun to peel off. Most often, by the way, the screen clicks in the upper right corner, which is understandable - in view of the design features in this place, the frame is the thinnest and the glue is the least.

Professionals recommend that users contact the service center at the slightest backlash, otherwise you can damage the cable, and if the cable on the iPhone has gone, this is a completely different repair and a completely different cost. Taking into account the fact that the repair of "apple" equipment is already expensive, in this case, it's probably not worth the risk.

Can I fix the problem myself?

At first glance, it may seem that fixing the problem with a detached display is quite simple. And, truth, everything looks very innocent - the user sees only a slightly moving screen from the frame.

Many try to fix the situation in a very primitive way, assuming that the screen just popped out of the grooves, and not suspecting that it is, in fact, peeling off. At best, such a “repair” does not lead to anything, at worst, the display may crack with excessive effort, which is called “shove the unpushable”, because the glass on the iPhone is very thin.

But what does the process of repairing outgoing iPhone glass look like? It consists of three stages:

• peeling plastic frame
• removal of old adhesive, as well as dust and dirt accumulated between the display and the frame
• glass plywood

As you can see, the process is quite responsible, but if you are a confident person and are “friends” with technology, why not really try to save money, after all, there is nothing supernaturally difficult to repair.

Instructions for self-repair of the outgoing screen

So, if you decide to fix it yourself, follow the instructions below (given for the iPhone 5, but most of the points are relevant for the 5S, 6, 6S models - these smartphones have very similar designs):

1 We unscrew the screws that hold the touchscreen on the outside of the smartphone - the operation is performed using a Phillips screwdriver. 2 We take a suction cup in one hand, in the other a special plastic spatula - it is sold in kits for repairing Apple equipment (these kits are inexpensive, and there are tools for all occasions) and we begin to gently lift and unfasten the display.
3 Before removing the touch panel, let's make sure that all fasteners are disconnected by literally lifting the screen a couple of millimeters - does it move freely? So let's take it off! Bold, but still neat. 4 Now you need to completely peel off the screen from the frame, clean everything from glue and dust. Important! To remove the adhesive, a solvent may be required - we use not too caustic, otherwise the plastic may suffer. 5 It remains for us to apply glue (special glue is best purchased at the same place where you bought the tool kit) and glue the screen again, and then assemble the smartphone. 6 Well! We hope everything worked out for you!

Maybe better in service?

Yes, as we noted above, repairing an outgoing display is not a supernaturally difficult undertaking, but it is still, as they say, a task with an asterisk, and if you have even the slightest doubt that you will be able to fix the device yourself, go straight to the service!

And one more important point - the fact is that it is not rare that the display may move away not because it has peeled off the frame, but for some other reason. For example, you dropped the device, because of this the camera module shifted slightly (this, by the way, is a very common problem on the iPhone 5S), and the display moved away from the case. In this case, the repair will look different - you will still have to put the camera in place, and you will not need to glue anything. What are we for? Moreover, an incorrect diagnosis of the problem can lead to the fact that you will disassemble the smartphone and find that you are unable to help it. However, we do not want to instill uncertainty in you, but it would simply not be right not to warn about such a development of the situation!

Hi all! The topic of this article is familiar to me firsthand - the thing is that almost all iPhones that I have access to (phones of relatives, acquaintances) click on the screen when I press it. Somewhere less, somewhere more. But they are! Moreover, I observe such outrages in a variety of models - among them are the iPhone 6S, and SE, and even 7 Plus.

What can I say, on my "old man" iPhone 5S, the display began to click a few months after purchase. And it still does it, except that the place of the crunch has changed - before it was the lower left corner, and now the upper right one :) So the phenomenon of a “loosely fitting screen” is not such a rarity for the iPhone.

Let's talk about this in more detail, shall we? Why not?! Go!

Why does the iPhone screen make clicks when pressed?

The answer is "Captain Obvious" - the display clicks because it is not fully installed. You try to put it in place, there is a click, but after a while it pops up again. Why can such a situation happen at all? Here are some reasons:

If the iPhone fell, then everything is clear. And if not, are there clicks? Is this generally the norm or a marriage? Let's figure it out.

iPhone screen clicks - warranty case or not?

Of course yes. This is a marriage and the service center owes your device. So if the guarantee is still valid (), then it makes sense to use it.

In principle, there is nothing more to write here - they found clicks and a crunch, take the iPhone under warranty (), they will fix everything for you.

Another thing is that a large number of users either do not notice such problems, or (just like me) are too lazy to go somewhere and give the iPhone for repair :) As my personal experience shows, you can do the same: iPhone 5S, four years later after detecting a cod, it works fine - its display has not fallen off and has not completely peeled off.

But if your iPhone is waterproof (models 7, 8, X, and almost certainly all subsequent ones), then I would advise you to take this problem more carefully - it will be very unpleasant if water gets through the gap between the case and the display. Because the ingress of moisture is no longer a warranty case :(

What else can be done about display crunch?

If for some reason you cannot use warranty service, then there are not so many options to somehow fix the problem with the constant clicks of the iPhone module:

Attention! If you decide to do everything yourself, then be very careful and careful - iPhone technology is fragile, you never know what can happen ...

I repeat that it is better to do all of the above only if the official guarantee has already ended. If its term has not yet expired, then feel free to bring the iPhone to the service, let the masters of the SC deal with it - after all, this is their job!

P.S.S. If your iPhone has a crackling display, then put "like" and click on the buttons of social networks. Let's see how many have been affected by this problem? I already clicked, let's go! :)

On the Apple technology user forums, you can often find complaints that the screen is moving away on the iPhone 5S. As practice has shown, it is the protective glass and the display that have become the most vulnerable parts of the new model.

The reason that the glass of the iPhone 5S leaves can be both a factory defect and poor assembly, but often all problems with the screen arise due to careless handling. It is enough to accidentally drop the phone on asphalt or a concrete step to cause a crack on the iPhone.

Is it possible to self-repair if the screen comes off on the iPhone 5S?

If you began to notice that the screen is moving away on the iPhone 5s, an unpleasant creak appears when you press the Home button or on the corner of the phone, then this is a reason to urgently contact the service. If the glass does not fit snugly, over time, from accidental pressing on the corner, it may crack, while dust will get into the gap, which will lead to poor performance of the display and the entire device. Often the backlash is less than a millimeter, but even then it poses a danger to the performance of the device.

If the glass began to move away due to poor assembly or due to a fall, then you should immediately carry it to. A poorly fixed screen will be corrected and the cause can be found out. Such issues are usually resolved very quickly, as the complaint that the glass of the iPhone 5 is coming off is quite common.

If the phone was damaged due to improper handling, a crack appeared after the impact. There will be a replacement or editing, and it’s better not to delay this operation. But what to do if the services of the service center are unavailable for some reason?

What can you do yourself if the iPhone 5 glass comes off?

Self-repair can be carried out only in the most extreme case, because all responsibility will lie with the owner. Repair requires a special screwdriver and new components purchased from official Apple stores. Let's determine the sequence of actions if the display moves away or a crack occurs on the iPhone screen
:

• At the bottom of the phone, the screws holding the touchscreen are unscrewed.
• The touchpad gently lifts up with a suction cup and a plastic screwdriver. It is important not to rush, gradually disconnecting all fasteners.
• Extremely carefully separate the cables of the motherboard, touchpad and speaker. This is a jeweler's work - one sharp movement is enough to irrevocably ruin the train.
• After the screen module is completely released, you can start repairing. If there is a crack on the iPhone, you will have to immediately, since they are connected into a common unit. The advantage of repair in the service is that the specialist can immediately carry out diagnostics to identify the presence of other malfunctions.
• The phone must be assembled in reverse order. It is important to ensure that all the cables are in place, after which the screws are screwed back.

If you doubt your abilities, in no case should you undertake an independent repair. The consequences of unprofessional disassembly can be disastrous: often a complete replacement of cables is required, and sometimes the device becomes completely unusable.

The screen of the iPhone 5 leaves - we find the cause and eliminate it

Apple products are made up of quality parts. Thus, the device does not cause inconvenience to users during operation. However, often due to the impact of the smartphone or its fall, the so-called screen play may appear - this is the crackling of the display when pressed. Also, the screen can strongly move away from the case.

Common causes of screen backlash on iPhone

If the screen of the iPhone 5 comes off, before ordering a new display module, simply disassemble the device. Perhaps the display itself does not need to be changed. The causes of backlash can be:

• The battery is swollen. In this case, the battery will need to be replaced, not the display module;
• Due to the fall, some elements of the hull could change their location. We advise you to disassemble the smartphone and check all the components. Quite often, you need to tighten the screws so that the display does not move away from the phone case;
• Manufacturing defects. If a small part of the screen comes off the case and the components are normal, use a special glue to fix the display and the case - YA XUN or UV LOCA optical adhesives;
• Entry of dust into the housing. Because of this, the factory glue ceases to hermetically seal the external components of the phone. In this case, disassemble the phone, clean the joints between the case and the display with a brush, and apply optical glue to reattach them.

Phone disassembly and display module replacement

If the screen moves away a lot, the internal components of the phone are in place and the constant crackling does not allow comfortable interaction with the smartphone - replace the display module. Consider how to repair yourself.

For repairs you will need:

1. New display module for iPhone 5;
2. Special tools for disassembling the device: a screwdriver, a plastic spatula, a suction cup to detach the case;
3. Fine tweezers.

To start disassembling the device, attach the suction cup to the display (on the bottom, but without touching the Home button). Pry off the display, then take the special plastic spatula and open the phone as shown in the picture.

Open the phone's case, but don't try to detach the display completely yet. Position the module at a 90 degree angle from the main body of the smartphone. Remove the suction cup from the screen.

Find the three screws shown in the picture and unscrew them on your device with a screwdriver. Then remove the plug that they attached.

Use a spatula to disconnect the following three cables:

After disconnecting the loops, disconnect the front panel from the case. The elements are also located on the display module. The first is the speaker. The picture below shows the screws that secure the end cap to the speaker itself. Unscrew them and remove the protective panel. Then take the tweezers and remove the speaker.

Then, using tweezers, remove the front camera and rear microphone modules.

The next element is the Home button. Loosen the screws indicated in the figure and remove the protective panel. Then take a plastic spatula and gently pry the home button. Using tweezers, detach it from the bottom of the display.

On both sides of the frame, find two Phillips screws and unscrew them. Then remove the 2 screws that secure the display shield. In total, you need to unscrew 6 screws.

Remove the shield. You will be left with the old display module without any parts. Change it to a new module and assemble the phone, following all the steps of the instructions, but only in reverse order.

No matter how reliable the iPhone is, it can be easily damaged. For example, his screen may move away.

Reasons why the display may move away

As a rule, several situations occur, as a result of which the screen begins to move away from the case. This is due to mechanical stress caused by one of the following:

• deformation of the body as a result of impact or fall;
• swelling of the battery (in this case, in addition to repair, a battery replacement will also be required).

Occasionally, a factory marriage is also possible. If the technology was violated during assembly, then when the case is heated, the hot-melt adhesive may weaken and the glass will begin to move away from the case.

What should I do if the screen is off?

Usually, owners are annoyed when the screen knocks on the case. But this is not the main thing, since dust and moisture begin to penetrate through the gap that has formed inside the case, and this is fraught with a short circuit of the electronic circuit and subsequent costly repairs. In addition, if the screen tilts too far, it may damage the display or touchscreen cable.

Therefore, you need to fix the problem as soon as possible. You can do this yourself with the help of a special waterproof transparent glue that retains plasticity after drying. But there is a danger here: if you do not notice and do not correct the deformation of the case, then soon the malfunction will repeat.

Therefore, it is best to contact a specialized service center. They will determine whether you just need to glue the screen or whether you need to pre-align the case. If the dents are too severe, then the entire screen module must be replaced.

In Moscow, the most popular center that repairs Apple equipment is Total Apple. Here you will receive a free consultation on what needs to be done to repair your iPhone, after which you will independently decide on its necessity.

Depending on the nature of the breakdown, the repair will take from thirty minutes to one and a half hours. The quality of the work of the masters is so high that we provide a guarantee of three years. And if the problem recurs, we will fix it at our own expense.
