Self-replacement guide. Self-replacement guide Replacing iphone 6 housing while keeping imei

You must admit that when using a phone without a case, it is rarely possible to maintain the perfect look of the case. And if the phone is dropped often, then even a cover will not always help. I have collected for you the most up-to-date information on replacing the case on the iPhone 6 and 6s and will tell you about the defects of the cases, how to fix them, how much time and money it will take.

To begin with, let's agree that by the case we mean the rear aluminum panel, as well as the side iron edges, since this is one single piece. The iPhone 6 and its improved version 6s are very similar in repair, so almost everything written is true for both models. They differ significantly in that the case of the iPhone 6s and Plus is much stronger than that of a regular six. And unlike the perfectly bendable six, the 6s isn't easy to bend. But let's talk about everything in order!

When do you need to replace the case, and when is it enough to fix it?

Here is a list of common reasons for contacting the Service for a case replacement:

  1. Jammed corners or buttons;
  2. Cracks in the camera eye;
  3. Violation of the geometry of the body (strong deformations);
  4. Scuffs, scratches.

But not all of the listed damage to the back cover requires a complete replacement. For example, if the corner is not strong, it may be enough to correct this part and process it with a file (small file), and not change the whole case. These jams often occur when the phone is dropped to a corner and is accompanied by a broken screen. When replacing the glass on iPhone 6, we repair the corners of the case for free, because without this, you simply won't be able to install the display properly.

It's the same with the broken eyes of the cameras. They are glued to the back panel with glue and are changed separately. The cost of such a repair will be cheaper than replacing the entire iPhone 6s case. But if, in addition to a broken peephole, the case has other damages or you are not satisfied with the appearance of the panel, we will easily replace it with a new one in just 1 hour.

Violation of the geometry of the case is already a serious problem, which, for good reason, can only be solved by replacing the case completely. Such deformations usually look like this:

If the case on the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus is strongly deformed, you can of course try to unbend it back, but it will not work perfectly in any case. The metal will no longer take on its previous shape, since it is already "stretched", and when straightened, it will go in a wave or burst. You can use such a phone, but most likely the screen will go off in places of irregularities, dust and moisture will easily get inside. As for the 6s, straightening the case is even more difficult, because, as I said, the metal used is very durable.

The final point is scuffs and scratches. I am often asked if they can be polished, but unfortunately the answer is no. When polishing, the paint will peel off the lid and the look will be so-so, even worse than it was. My advice in this case is to replace the case with a new one.

What housings are used when replacing. Can a white iPhone 6 or 6s be made black or gold?

As we said in the article Where do iPhone parts come from, Apple does not sell or supply parts for equipment directly to anyone. Therefore, you can find the original case only in one case - to disassemble a new iPhone. Unfortunately, the iPhone 6 and 6s are produced in small batches and it is extremely difficult to find a phone with an original factory assembly. What is sold in online stores under the guise of new, overwhelmingly refurbished phones from Chinese spare parts. This option is clearly not suitable for us. In addition, the cost of such a removed case will be 2-2.5 times higher than replacing it with a good copy.

New cases for iPhone 6s are manufactured in factories in China and are no different from the original, neither tactilely nor functionally. There are several gradations of the quality of the caps, we naturally buy more expensive parts. "Yes, yes, yes, we know!" - tell you - "Everyone says so!" But this is really true. Cheap cases are, first of all, difficult to assemble, since internal fasteners are often defective and the master has to spend a lot of time to refine such a product with a file :) And there are no such problems with more expensive parts. We spend less effort and time, and you get excellent quality - everyone is happy!

If the color of the iPhone 6s or 6s plus is bored and you want the color of silver, gold or, for example, rose gold, then this is also easy to arrange. The back cover can be installed even similar to the iPhone 7, any whims as they say;)

How much does it cost to replace the case on an iPhone 6s? Price, repair time and warranty.

The iPhone 6 and S are essentially assembled in a case. All cables, buttons, board and other fastening elements are rearranged into a new cover. You do not understand the affairs here for five minutes. In terms of time, the replacement of the case takes an average of 1 hour. The replacement cost you can, which comes after this article. Replacement prices are final and include labor and parts. Case replacement warranty is 3 months.

How the iPhone 6 case is replaced. Is it possible to make repairs in the presence of the client?

Now we got to the most interesting part - I will show you how the repair works. You can watch the repairs without any problems, the master will not mind. When replacing the case, the iPhone is completely disassembled, I will not describe every smallest step and show the main points.

First of all, the screws in the lower part of the case are unscrewed and the display module is removed.

Then the battery is peeled off, the lower and upper cables are unscrewed and removed. After that, the display mounts, seals and speaker grids are rearranged from the old case to the new one.

This is how the iPhone 5s looks when fully disassembled. Then the matter is small, it remains in the reverse order to assemble the phone :) If you do the bulkhead of the case yourself, then I recommend remembering and placing all the screws separately, since they differ in length and thickness. Tightening a long screw instead of a short one can damage the part or the case.

As you can see, the process of replacing the case on an iPhone 6 or 6s is quite laborious and requires an attentive and careful approach to business. It is not recommended to change the iPhone 6 case yourself at home if you have never done such work. I also do not advise you to apply for such a repair anywhere. Choose the service to which you are ready to entrust such complex repairs carefully. After replacing the iPhone 6s case and improper assembly, you may encounter one or more problems:

  • Deteriorated reception of GSM / GPS / WI-Fi networks;
  • Incorrect operation of speakers and microphones;
  • Backlash of the display module and buttons;
  • Problems with identifying the sim card;
  • Incorrect operation of the buttons;
  • Ingress of dust and dirt into the housing in the place of loose seals and housing parts.

It is not uncommon to find cases when, when replacing the back cover or display on his own, a person screwed a long screw into the board instead of a short screw. This led to the complete inoperability of the phone. If you are faced with such a problem, then come to Fix-me, we will bring the iPhone into working order.

In this article I have tried to answer the most popular questions. If you need additional advice, then do not hesitate - call, write to messengers, email, or come to our services, we will definitely tell and show you everything.

How much does it cost to change the back cover on an iPhone in Moscow?

The cost of repairing the back cover on a smartphone is calculated by a specialist. It depends on the complexity of the breakdown and the cost of the new frame. After diagnostics, the technician will be able to determine the extent of damage to the cover and name the exact cost of its restoration. You may be limited to minor costs and only have to pay to install a new cover. If, during a fall or after ingress of moisture and dust, the internal mechanisms and fasteners are damaged, then the repair will cost much more.
