today I'm going to show you how to remove the old boring logo from your iPhone 6 and replace it with a light-up logo similar to an Apple laptop or macbook here's the part itself I will link the part and all of the tools down in the video description so check that out most of the instructions are in Chinese so I'll try to translate as best as I can and walk you through the process remember the iPhone 6 warranties have mostly expired so only attempt this if you have nothing to lose you are 100% responsible for what you do with your own phone here's the pentalobe screwdriver there are two screws down at the bottom I'm going to unscrew those then lift up on the screen using a suction cup and a plastic pry tool only pry up on the edge of the screen and the edge of the phone damaging your screen is a real possibility with this so go as slow as possible and be very careful there's two screws down by the charging port take off that metal plate and then unplug the battery make sure not to bend the screen past 90 degrees or you will damage those ribbon cables once this plate is off with those five screws you are able to unsnap the four ribbon cables from the motherboard these are held on just like little Legos make sure you only use a plastic pry tool like the one I am using to remove these from the phone the battery is held in with two adhesive strips and we do need to remove it so peel up the edge of these little tabs and give them a little pull they are pretty fragile mine broke once luckily I was left with enough room to grab it and pull it out the rest the way if these tabs break on you you will need to pry out the battery which is fairly dangerous make sure you never ever ever ever use any metal object while trying to pry out your battery if you end up puncturing it it will damage your phone and maybe you too you can see our rubbery the adhesive strips are after they come out of the device pull out that second pull tab the iPhone six-plus will have three pull tabs now the battery is out we have access to this metal logo it is stuck down pretty tightly I managed to use my tweezers and leverage it out of that back hole be very careful with the top part of the logo because it's underneath that wire cable and you need to leave that intact as it is pretty vital to your phone's function remove the logo plate itself and you can see that now there is nothing between the inside of the phone and the outside here is the light-up logo we're going to go ahead and put that in place you'll feel it kind of click in is the logo sticks through the backside of the phone it does sit completely flush and it has a plastic feel to it to keep the battery in place I am putting down two little adhesive strips it's double-sided tape set the battery down where it lines up right with little plug where you unplugged it from now here's the important part there's this little piece of tape over these solder pads you want to scrape off any tape residue but be very careful you don't actually damage the solder itself use a plastic pry tool you can also clean it off with a little bit of isopropyl alcohol don't use too much though you don't want to get any liquid down in the screen do not use any kind of water or liquid cleaner because that will damage it I'm going to plug in the screen before I attach the LED light-up logo make sure that all of these little connections are very snug if you end up with squares or lines or a black screen it's because these connections aren't tight so unplug them and reconnect them I'm taking the little wire from the logo and tucking it underneath the metal plate and then using the black electrical tape to put over the top of the wire and hold it in place there's two little foam pads there as well and this will help use the pressure from the battery to push the wire and hold it in place while it's plugged in next thing you're going to take that metal plate and get those five screws back into place along with the two screws next to the battery that hold the battery connector in and then line up the top of the screen first with the edge of the frame of the phone and then snap it down into place using your fingers all the way down along the side and there you go any time you press the power button the logo will light up and it will dim along with the screen as well so whatever your screen brightness is is how bright the logo is going to be have any questions leave down the comments don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and if you're super bored follow me on Twitter and Instagram I'd love to see you around thanks for watching
