How to eliminate display play on 5s. The frame on my iPhone has come off, what should I do? Professional iPhone display module repair

Apple devices are considered reliable because they are assembled from high-quality parts, so the screen on an iPhone rarely comes off. If the screen does come off and a gap is visible near the body (formed when the device was dropped or for unknown reasons), do not rush to buy a new iPhone. Such damage can be eliminated by replacing the display module (glass with screen). In this case, the appearance of your iPhone will be the same as when you purchased it.

Common Causes of Display Module Misalignment

If you notice that the screen is moving away from the top corner of the iPhone's frame (the appearance of the case has changed), the damage may have occurred when the smartphone was dropped. However, it is not always possible to find out why the glass came away from the body and the gap at the top became visible.

The main reasons why the screen comes off and a gap is visible near the body are:

• swollen battery
• frame deformation (if the device falls)
• factory defect
• dust particles getting inside the iPhone

If the smartphone has been dropped and its appearance has deteriorated, a gap at the top has become visible, the glass has come off, or the touchscreen has started to malfunction, immediate screen repair is necessary.

How to fix a device defect

If the screen on your iPhone comes off a little, disassemble the smartphone before ordering the display module (screen and glass). It may be enough to clean the device a little or replace a failed battery.

If the screen comes off and there is a gap visible, but you are not sure whether to replace the module, try the following:

• The battery is swollen - replace the battery
• tighten the screws, perhaps when the device was dropped, the elements moved away from the case
• The glass has come off a little, a gap is visible at the top - use optical glue
• dust has entered - clean the components of the device with a brush and apply optical glue

If after these steps the screen still moves slightly away from the body, you need to replace the glass by replacing the entire display module.

How to change iPhone display module

All iPhone models differ from other smartphones in that the screen can only be replaced together with the glass by disconnecting the cable. Therefore, if the device has fallen and a gap begins to appear in the upper corner, you need to disassemble the iPhone.

Replacing the display module when removing the gap in the upper corner is a rather complicated type of repair, however, you can try to fix the defect (the glass comes off) yourself.

To change glass, you need to purchase:

• new display module
• specialized tools for smartphone repair
• tweezers for neatly separating the frame, disconnecting the cable and removing the old module
• special hair dryer for heating hot melt adhesive

After installing the new display module, make sure that the glass does not come off and connect the cable. Assemble your smartphone (any iPhone model) and make sure that the top corner fits snugly against the body.

The consequence of parts of the display module falling off may result in the appearance of certain defects. Therefore, if you do not know how to fix the breakdown or cannot independently eliminate the reason that the screen moves slightly away from the upper corner of the case (the glass comes off), seek help from experienced specialists.

Professional iPhone display module repair

If the screen comes off a little and you don’t know how to fix it, order the services of experienced specialists on the Yuda website. Certified technicians who service all iPhone models will quickly determine the reason why the display module is starting to come off and promptly fix the problem.

YouDo performers are beneficial for many reasons.

The display was replaced with a fake one while services were being performed.

For such cases there is “Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights No. 35”

I handed in the iPhone 5S to fix the screen play and I was offered to replace the plastic frame, to which I agreed.

Already at home, I discovered that the display had been replaced with a fake Chinese one.
The service refused to acknowledge the fact of substitution until I pointed out the obvious difference between the original display and the installed fake copy (Until this point, the “master” tried to convince me that my “original” display was much better than their Chinese ones. He did not show the original ones) .
After numerous attempts to deceive, replacing the display with other fake ones, the “master” eventually supplied a display whose quality was very close to the original.

P.S. If you have a similar case, do not contact the service, but the consumer rights protection department. And write a complaint.

In case they tell you that you made the substitution, there is always a forensic examination.

Reply from SC:

Anatoly,
Only the frame has been replaced on your device, as evidenced by the remaining glass. Screen brightness depends on the backlight. We replaced it for you at your request free of charge, although we could not have done this at all. You have an original display installed, you can contact any independent expert!

Very often, iPhone owners turn to our service with the same questions: what to do if the screen on the iPhone moves away from the body (frame), or there is a gap (play) between the screen and the iPhone body? Now we will try to answer.

First, let's look at the system for attaching the display module on the iPhone to the metal body of the smartphone.

The fact is that, starting with the iPhone 5, the device is disassembled from the display side. Those. To get to the internal components we need to first remove the display module. The screen itself is glued to the plastic frame with special fasteners. These fasteners are inserted into grooves on the body.

When a person says that his screen is coming away from the body, there can be three options:

1) The screen comes off the plastic frame, which sits quite tightly in the body.
2) The screen, together with the plastic frame, does not fit tightly to the smartphone body.
3) A combination of the first and second options (which happens extremely rarely).

Why is this happening?
During operation, the phone is affected by a wide variety of physical and chemical factors. iPhones are used in hot, cold, and rainy weather. Liquids are spilled on it and subjected to mechanical stress. What your “apple assistant” has to endure. And all this cannot but leave marks on him.
Now let's look at the causes and consequences of each case:

The screen comes away from the plastic frame.

As mentioned above, the iPhone display is glued into a frame that is attached to the smartphone body.
Although this glue holds well, like any other glue, it loses its properties over time and under the influence of external factors. The screen begins to “float,” as it were, when you press on it at the place of gluing. A gap has appeared. It may be barely noticeable at first, and you most likely weren't paying attention. At this stage, it is often enough to warm up the display and press it against the frame (we do not recommend doing this yourself, there is a risk of killing the screen). Over time, moisture gets into the gap between the plastic and the glass, causing dust and dirt to become clogged. And then the button began to stick, or the battery began to discharge quickly. Accordingly, there was a need to disassemble the iPhone. (Do you remember that he understands it from the screen?). Mechanical action was added, which accelerated the peeling process. (If initially nothing comes off anywhere, then during the iPhone repair process nothing will come off. Therefore, do not rush to scold the repairman). Very often the reason lies in a bent case or a “swollen” battery. What's the end result? The longer you delay repairs, the worse the consequences may be. So, for example, if your frame comes off too far, it catches the display backlight, and the backlight, in turn, also comes off

(glued to the back of the screen with a special double-sided tape and consists of several light-scattering layers).

Dust, debris, and moisture get under the backlight and between its layers. On the screen it looks like black dots in the depths of the display, streaks.

From now on, you need to change not only the frame, but also the backlight.

Let's assume no repairs were made. What will happen next? And then, when the screen moves well enough away from the frame, it will hang on the display cables (which, by the way, are very delicate and are afraid of any impact.) As a result, problems with the sensor and/or image will begin. Now you can only throw away the screen...
Another option. The problem has already started, but you yourself, or somewhere you were offered to glue the frame. And it’s good if “super-moment”, “101 glue” and their analogues are not used for these purposes. Because if you need to replace the frame in the future, you can tear it off only along with the paint on the display. As a result, the glass will also have to be replaced.
The glue can also get under the backlight of the display, as a result of which, again, only replacing the backlight (if this is not a “super moment”, otherwise - replacing the screen). But even if everything turns out well, it is unknown how long this whole thing will last before it comes off again (after all, dust and dirt cannot be removed well).

The most optimal and competent option is to replace the frame with a new one. Factory hot melt adhesive is already applied to it. To replace such a frame, special equipment is required. With careful adherence to sizing technology, high quality and long service life are ensured.

The screen, together with the plastic frame, does not fit tightly to the body of the smartphone.

And again, as stated above, the iPhone display is glued into a frame that is attached to the smartphone body. Sometimes these fasteners break. There may be several reasons: firstly, this often happens when the iPhone falls on hard surfaces, secondly, when the device is disassembled carelessly (sometimes with careful disassembly, but due to the fact that the frame has peeled off from the screen, it loses its rigidity and is impossible without some effort to disassemble the device. Although this applies more to the third option: “The screen moves away from both the frame and the body”). There is only one way out - change the frame to a new one.
It happens that the grooves on the body into which the frame fasteners are inserted become loose. Most often due to frequent disassembly of the device. This problem can be solved by tightening the grooves or replacing them.
And the most common reason is curvature of the body. Due to the nature of the metal alloy that makes up the case (sometimes called the “back cover”), it is impossible to align it. It is very brittle. In addition, it is simply physically impossible to make it perfectly even again. The solution is obvious - replacing the housing.
The consequences are quite banal. With a slight backlash, nothing bad will happen. Moreover, in rare cases, even on new iPhones this defect occurs. (Although it’s better to try to return it under warranty. Who wants an imperfect new apple?) With serious gaps, anything can get inside your phone, and here the consequences are very difficult to predict.

Finally, please remember one simple thing. If the screen on your iPhone has come off the case and the battery is swollen or the case itself is bent, misaligned, bent, etc. then no glue, no special equipment, or anything at all will help you until you replace the case.

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

Reasons why the display may come off

Typically, several situations occur that cause the screen to begin to move away from the body. This occurs due to mechanical stress caused by one of the following factors:

• deformation of the body as a result of an impact or fall;
• swelling of the battery (in this case, in addition to repairs, the battery will also need to be replaced).

Occasionally, a manufacturing defect is possible. If the technology was violated during assembly, then when the case heats up, the hot-melt adhesive may weaken and the glass will begin to move away from the case.

What to do if the screen comes off?

It usually irritates owners when the screen hits the body. But this is not the main thing, since through the resulting gap dust and moisture begin to penetrate into the case, and this is fraught with the short circuit of the electronic circuit and subsequent expensive repairs. In addition, if the screen moves at too large an angle, this can damage the display or touchscreen cable.

Therefore, the problem must be resolved as soon as possible. You can do this yourself using a special waterproof transparent glue that retains its plasticity after drying. But there is a danger here: if you do not notice and correct the deformation of the housing, the malfunction will soon recur.

Therefore, it is best to contact a specialized service center. There they will determine whether you just need to glue the screen or whether you need to first start aligning the case. If the dents are too strong, then the entire screen module must be replaced.

In Moscow, the most popular center that repairs Apple equipment is the Total Apple company. Here you will receive a free consultation on what needs to be done to repair your iPhone, after which you will decide for yourself whether it is necessary.

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

Repairing an iPhone is not considered an easy task. However, you should not always run to a service center and pay huge sums for repairs, because sometimes you can still handle the breakdown yourself. We will tell you below why the iPhone screen starts to “retract” and whether you can fix the problem yourself.

Why does the iPhone screen come off (peel off)?

Service center specialists most often identify 4 main reasons why the iPhone screen may peel off.

1. Over time. Long-term use of a smartphone in various weather conditions can lead to gradual destruction of the adhesive bond between the plastic display frame and the glass.

2. Battery swelling. A fairly common cause of display detachment (destruction of the frame or adhesive connection) on the iPhone is a swollen battery.

The main reasons for a swollen iPhone battery:

— mechanical damage (for example, a smartphone falling);
- factory defect;
— contact with liquid;
— resource development. Typically occurs on batteries that have been used for more than 3 years;
— incorrect charging mode, constant long-term battery overcharging (for example, when you leave an already charged battery on charge for a long time);
— use of a non-original charger.
- temperature test. Operating the iPhone (heat, cold, sudden temperature changes).

3. Consequences of poor-quality screen replacement (or other repairs). A peeling screen on an iPhone may be a consequence of poor-quality repairs performed by an incompetent service center employee or when installing a new low-quality display module.

4. Mechanical damage to the case (falls, impacts, bending, etc.).

Is it possible to fix the detached display problem on iPhone yourself?

It is possible, but subject to having experience in repairing Apple smartphones, as well as the necessary tools.

• After disassembling the device, it is necessary to determine the reason that caused the display to peel off.
• Check the battery; swelling may be the main cause of the problem.
• Check the integrity of the display frame. If the frame is broken, it must be replaced. If the cause of peeling is the destruction of the adhesive joint, then use a special glue to solve the problem.

Stationery glue or PVA will not work here, so you need to purchase an all-purpose glue that meets the industry standard for strength. This glue will not let water in and, due to its transparency, will remain invisible.

For example, you can use glue E8000.

They are easy to buy and inexpensive. Just squeeze a little substance out of the tube and carefully re-glue the frame with glue. It is recommended to use your smartphone no earlier than 24-72 hours after the repair is completed.
