Description: Installation steps for installing a logic board...

Steps:

  1. Hold the logic board so that the front sensor cable is close to its connector.
  2. Align the front sensor cable connector carefully over its logic board socket.
  3. Use the point of a spudger or your finger to press the connector until it clicks into place.
  4. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.

  9. You can't directly connect the display connector to the bottom of the logic board without removing the screen, but you might successfully connect it by screwing the logic board in place. Be sure to test your iPhone before you seal it up.
  10. Make sure the logic board rests in place against its screw posts. The posts will properly align the board to the display connector underneath it.

  14. One 3.4 mm‑long screw
  15. One 4.2 mm‑long screw

  17. Use your finger or a spudger to press and connect the three black press connectors onto the logic board.
  18. To re-attach press connectors like these, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down in the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.
