Where is the antenna on iphone 7
iPhone 7 cellular antenna/ screen replacement
alright guys today we have an iPhone 7
that is has a cracked screen obviously
and they're claiming that the reception
keeps dropping like it says searching
and they've done every software thing
they possibly can so they want me to put
a new room so you learnt a minute
so this is our cellular antenna that
we're gonna put in there this is on
iPhone 7 now we're gonna replace the
screen as well we also check out this in
tenancy well we think might be good
because I think they tried everything
stopped everything and nothing down here
at the bottom there's gonna be two
pentalobe screws you're gonna take these
out I already have well you're gonna
take out these two pentalobe screws at
the bottom now you're gonna take your
heat gun or hair dryer whatever you have
and you're gonna heat around the corners
of this iPhone 7 you're gonna go to the
top to the touch I mean we can really
damage those it anymore
Sartain broke and then you're gonna take
your pry tool it's just a little small
tool and you're gonna start prying at
the bottom and around the sides you're
gonna come over up the top i'ma side you
gonna do the exact same thing all the
way up through the clock once you do
that you're gonna lift up on the bottom
and you're gonna wiggle it out and it's
gonna have a gap up here and you're
gonna go up here with your pry tool and
say ya'll said he said loose once you
get that at least and he said loose you
put all of it and it should open up just
like a book now you're gonna take your Y
screwdriver you're gonna move one two
three four screws on this battery plate
when you lay these out try to write in
exactly how you're put them in it'll
just make it a lot easier when you're
putting it back in there and Boyd any
kind of long screw damage there we go
sometimes when you ripped us off it's
kind of glued to the battery and the
battery cable would come off just like I
did right there that battery cable came
off so I wasn't having trouble a little
thing holds the screw in with loose all
right so you gonna pop that loose you
can take your fingernail or plastic pry
tool and you're just gonna get
underneath this table and lift it up
anything right here just getting this
cable messed it up when you have those
lift it up now we're gonna go up here to
the camera part you're gonna move two
screws these are gonna be your regular
Phillips screws we'll go back to our
regular screwdriver you can remove these
two screws and watch the game with the
plastic foil your fingernail just lift
this little cover out of way and then
pull up on your table once you do that
you can release the screen there's some
that he said on the sides you can pull
that off there's some stays that's fine
it'll kind of help when you put the
screen back down can't hold it a little
better so you don't take it off too much
now we're gonna get under this antenna
let's know you learn into them and we're
gonna go ahead and replace it first you
can tell this antenna is right here
sorry it's right here and it looks like
according to this it connects to this
there's two little connectors are here
it connects to this top one am I go
ahead and move this group
and then see if I can lift up on this
table little connector there we go down
at least sometimes you have to take out
like the whole motherboard I'm hoping I
don't have to this is the first time
I've replaced the antenna on this
particular home we're gonna go down here
for right now we're gonna unscrew and
screw the hole down engine let's go is
gonna be like that one yet in there
that's I'm screwing out like okay that's
out I guess technically we didn't have
to unscrew this screw over here we're
gonna go ahead and put back I know now
look at this antenna and see how we need
to pull it off
you're gonna do
it's really hard to tell there's like a
tiny bit of gray right there or maybe it
was bent but other than that the antenna
doesn't really look horrible that's just
the only thing I can see it was like a
little band where I could see a little
bit of the inside of the little cable
that runs in there so hopefully that was
what was causing him to lose reception
so we're gonna go ahead and careful if
you have to pull it out of all these
bags this part is a little bit sticky it
sticks in that bag and you ripped you
hard you might just rip the whole it
would make a square one there's two
little holes on this antenna right there
right there I'm gonna make sure these
holes line up just right
first they're sent to the now cuz I was
thinking push it down good go ahead
yeah
if you can get under this just push it
back your name the same thing right here
you can put it back in there and then
this actually goes over here sorry I'm
not real good for the camera you know is
that right over the little connecting
push it down so you hear a little click
you know a little creek that's in place
we're gonna go ahead and go back to the
screen now I always like to start at the
home button gonna be one two three four
screws oh why screwdriver I think it's
called a tri wing screwdriver but
basically why I have about three of
these just in case the one kind of
starts to get a little dull Bart's
eating that one you can swap back and
forth um right here this little home
button connector music that my
fingernail on the bottom you lift the
top up like that now this is the most
important part I think of this whole
repair it's what you're gonna do is
you're gonna get underneath this cable
put pressure against the actual plastic
frame and try to get underneath this
cable and just gently rise it up what
happens a lot I've seen where people get
it you want to get some tweezers that
are like this that are not sharp you get
tweezers in a sharp and it cuts into
this cable and if you mess up the home
button cable and your home button is
basically non-existent you can't replace
it unless you send it to Apple so be
careful now we're going to the side
there's one two three on the side we're
still using the trial my screwdriver
flip it over one two three on the side
these are all the same size um
screwdriver seen countless permanent
power
you don't have to organize these very
well you just wanna make sure they're in
the power you know where is a pair we're
gonna remove these one two three four
five six now these most of these are
different sizes so you do want to make
sure when you take these out we're going
back to our bakery screwdriver you make
sure when you take these out then you
can line them up and lay them out
exactly how they are mr. deejay like I
said they are all basically different
size screws you don't wanna cause any
long screw damage and a little table
over there now this is this speaker
there's nine times
so that's inside if you lay it with your
screws is gonna attract all your screws
and before you know it all your screws
are together and you better know a lot
holy went in the hole part of us laying
them out with basic way for nothing I
hear I'm just trying to get underneath
[Music]
there's cable it's got a little gold
circles on it and then I lift it up no
one figured out I go okay to the
proximity sensor and I pull on this I
know sometimes it comes out like that
sometimes it doesn't so I'll go from
this way and then what you do that you
wanna go back to this standard Standa
Neath and then same thing you're gonna
kind of put pressure on the plastic for
the frame and then just gently lift up
when you lift up this should just come
right off so there's that nice thing I
do is just take off the heat shield
sometimes stuck down here a little bit
she shoulders pretty brutal so if you've
ended any make sure you kind of flex it
back there's our screen let's go ahead
and get one of our replacement screens
you laid us on top holes
once I holder lined up you can go ahead
and that little pile your head earlier
since you were doing the side once get
started taking some screws from that
pile Smith a high wing screwdriver why
screwdriver should be three on each side
he's gonna kill me there's this little
piece of metal right here you just want
to kind of put it behind your cables I'm
a little more of a close up here in a
second so you see it it's okay some that
I have seen some of these are out in
front man I don't think is really gonna
do any damage but I mean it's there for
a reason it's gotta be why would they
make it so just do it right like that I
think if you forget it it's not gonna
mess up your screen or anything but
you're gonna do it do it right
home button coming from the bottom push
it up slide it up on there there's a
little hole just like everything went up
and Kenna it's gonna make sure that hold
fits down there and then we're just
gonna snap the home button on show you a
little quick want to do that lay back
our shield screwing our four screws
I witness grow anything this is grant oh
you feel some resistance you don't wanna
sometimes you got to push on the home
button on this one from the other side
no one I overdo it um you just want to
push you just want to screw it in so you
feel a bit of resistance and then just
leave it alone don't over screw it now
up here will not take our camera
everything there's gonna be there's two
holes right here you're basically just
gonna line these two holes up push these
little gold prongs down and you're gonna
come up here to the top and the
proximity sensors as little square and
on the frame there's a little square
holder if this thing goes in and
sometimes when they give it a screen
then little grey holder is kind of a
little bit crooked so you have to kind
of tilt it a little bit but you just
want to hear it kind of snap and I like
everything else there's a speaker of
gold prongs at the bottom I mean when
you're on ease - pick her up on the
holes you really can't put it in there
long eleena's cover a little top
Nadia speaker is magnetized so I mean
how many way you're trying to put these
screws in they'll kind of go they'll
kick off to the side or whatever only
because of that magnetism you got on the
speaker so just kind of take your time
and just keep trying anything don't
screw these in too hard just takes a
little bit of resistance oh we just kind
of look at it make sure it looks flash
of those these down here to be touching
you really can't see them but at the top
is for us the bottom usually is too so
we're gonna start connecting this back I
always do the camera connection first
usually hear a click I'm really hear a
click but I can tell that today I'm not
gonna mess up anymore
and here we're gonna start a click and
this one does anything is gonna listen
for a click there we go I'm go ahead and
connect the power now we're gonna lay it
down
I've always screw in the final screws
see if we can power it on and then kind
of test the screen out a little bit just
give her a minute the powder on make
sure the home button is what kind of
touch is working there's something's not
working we can reconnect it never stays
on this Apple logo for an extended
period of time and you're just waiting
for it to load up load up load up more
than likely something to do with the
home button was not connected right so
take it off reconnect home button
sometimes they could be in a camera too
so make sure that that's pushed down as
well this one came on right now it's not
letting to touch it so we could have an
issue with the touch the digitizer I had
it before where the phone's just turned
on and just takes on a minute for us to
kind of weren't snaps mouth touching
that's working
Christ looks like it's working
there's a cricket LTE so we have service
we got three bars out of four so they're
working
