Risks in getting an iPhone 7 Plus Screen Replacement

You can keep using an iPhone 7 Plus with a little crack on the screen, but once the crack becomes bigger, the problem becomes a safety issue. Get a screen replacement before you hurt yourself. A DIY iPhone 7 Plus screen replacement is risky if you have never done it before, so it makes sense to let a professional technician do the job. Still insisting on DIY repair? Then be ready to face these kinds of risks:

Exploding batteries

Mobile phones often have lithium-ion batteries–the kind of batteries that are dangerous to handle. This battery can catch fire when accidentally punctured. To avoid further damage to your phone and to ensure that you don’t harm yourself, discharge the battery to below 25%. Also, turn the battery off before disassembling the phone.

Compromised waterproof seals

A mobile phone’s waterproof seal is compromised once it is forced open. If it is your first time to replace the screen, make sure to be careful in removing the old screen and placing a new one in.

Broken ribbons

Do not pry open the screen right away because the ribbons that are connected to the logic board are delicate. Special tools may be necessary for this job. The last thing you want is a new screen with missing display.

Post-replacement issues

Sometimes, the problems start after replacing the screen. One of the most common post screen replacement problems of iPhone 7 Plus is an unresponsive screen. You might also notice that your home button is not working or is showing ghost touch issues. The major culprit of all these problems is using non-genuine parts.

Such risks are less likely to happen if you hire a professional who is trained and has the right tools to repair your screen and get your phone working like new again. Be sure to bring your phone to a trusted repair shop that uses high-quality parts. Their screen replacement service should also be backed by a warranty.
