today I'm going to show you to replace the charging port in your iPhone 6s plus I will link all the replacement parts and the replacement tools down in the video description below now before you get all excited make sure that it's not just dust or lint clogging your charging port not letting your cable plug in all the way more often than not that's the only problem there is there are two screws down at the bottom they are a pentalobe screw once those are out I can take my pry tool and pry between the plastic frame of the screen and the metal frame of the phone and lift the screen away from the phone body using a suction cup there is a little bit of adhesive surrounding the edge so be very very careful as you're prying it up I'm going to switch to my plastic pry tool to avoid damage to the screen if you do damage the screen you'll need to replace it and that would be a much more costly repair there are two screws down at the bottom by the battery connector I'm going to remove that metal plate and then unsnap the battery from the phone there are five screws up by the screen that metal plate comes off as well and then each of these little screen connectors on snap from the motherboard they're very similar to Legos once those are removed the screen pops off from the body and then we have access to the charging port the charging port ribbon cable unsnaps from the motherboard and then there's a wire cable up here at the top that I can unsnap as well that leaves two screws up at the top of the loudspeaker and then another three screws down here by the charging port that have a little metal plate we're going to remove that little plate that leaves three more screws down by the wire connector set that off to the sides to make sure it doesn't get in our way there's one screw down by the bottom of the loudspeaker and then there's a hidden screw down by the microphone and the charging port once that's removed we can get rid of the loudspeaker and set that off to the side make sure you keep your screws organized it is very very important there's a lot of screws here and there are all different sizes there are five more screws here that we're going to remove and that releases the taptic motor from the charging port that also unsnaps just like the same little Lego connectors we've been dealing with this whole time this is where you get your vibrations from now we can start to peel back the charging port from the phone be very careful with it even though it is broken we might need it for troubleshooting later on rule of thumb is to try not to damage any components while you're removing them from the phone there's one more hidden screw down here at the bottom and then we can release the microphones from the bottom edge of the frame there is a little bit of adhesive that holds them there you can just pry that off with your metal pry tool and then the whole charging port can be pulled away from the phone except for another hidden screw down here at the bottom this is a grounding screw so you can just remove that from the frame make sure to keep it organized and the charging port comes loose so this will be the replacement part you might need to transfer over that wire cable it just depends on how yours is shipped I will link these down in the video description below as well now that the phone has more loose screws than Donald Trump it's time to put everything back together again sit everything down inside of the frame including the charging port in the headphone jack get that taptic vibrator back into place and then set the loudspeaker as well into place moving the wire cable up towards the edge of it so it doesn't get pinched underneath the loudspeaker tape that metal bracket down into place and then set the metal bracket on top of the little screw holes now pause the video here if you need to pray for a second or just to keep track of the screws you've installed so far once those are all in we can reattach the wire cable to the motherboard and then plug the charging port as well into the motherboard just like a little Lego connection you'll feel it snap in underneath your finger as you press it down now I personally like to test to make sure everything works and all the connections are good so I'm going to clip the screen back into place and then plug the battery into the motherboard and then turn the phone on even though it's not completely shut yet everything is good sometimes there will be lines through your screen or the screen will be gray this means that your connections aren't good with the motherboard so you have to reconnect the screen ribbon cables to the motherboard and hope that those lines go away all my connections are good so I'm going to screw back in those metal plates and then line the top of the screen up with the top edge of the phone first before I slide my fingers down the edges and clip the screen into the body there's two screws down at the bottom to
