step by step detailed guide on iPhone 12 mini disassembly and reassembly and screen replacement (front assembly: LCD, Glass Digitizer, Frame)

This is a guide on replacing the front assembly on the Apple iPhone 12 Mini.

For the installation process we’ll need the following tools:

Heat Gun
Plastic pick
Small tri-wing screwdriver
Small phillips screwdriver

The front assembly consists of the frame, the glass digitizer and the LCD screen. You will need to replace the entire front assembly if any of these components are broken.

Turn the phone off by holding the power and confirm the shut down on screen.

Remove two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the phone.

Use a heat gun to warm the adhesive around the perimeter of the iPhone. Place a suction cup near the bottom edge and while providing some tension insert a plastic pick between the display assembly and the main body. Gently move the plastic pick around the perimeter separating the display assembly from the main body. Please note, there are cables located near the left edge of the phone and there are hooks at the top edge holding the display assembly. Keeping that in mind unlatch the top edge and open the phone to the left side.

Now we have access to the connector shields. Using a Tri-wing screw driver carefully remove 1 screw securing one shield. Remove the shield. Using a plastic pick open the battery connector and bend the lead away.
Next remove five tri-wing screws securing the larger connector shield. Remove the shield.

Next pick open the touch digitizer and the LCD connector then the front speaker and sensors connector. Separate the screen assembly from the main body.

The replacement display assembly does not contain the front speaker and sensors, we will be transferring them from the original display. Remove two tri-wing screws at the top then two more phillips screws on the bottom. Unfold the speaker and using a plastic pick carefully pick out the sensors from its placement and separate the entire garland from the display.

We will be replacing the waterproofing adhesive, so all of the original adhesive needs to be removed from the edge of the phone. Use tweezers to pick out the adhesive from the edge. The waterproofing adhesive comes on convenient plastic sheets cut to the shape of the edge of the phone. Remove the backing plastic of the adhesive shape. Apply the shape to the perimeter of the phone and using a plastic pick press the adhesive into place. Carefully begin removing the adhesive making sure that it stays on the perimeter of the phone.

Take out the new assembly and place the sensors in their appropriate locations, fold over the speaker and replace two phillips screws then two tri-wing screws.


Put the new display assembly to the left edge of the phone and reconnect the front speaker and sensors connector then the touch digitizer and LCD connector. Carefully reconnect the battery connector.

Replace the large connector shield and secure it with five tri-wing screws. Replace the other connector shield and secure it with 1 tri-wing screw.

To properly close the display keep the position of the top edge latches in-mind and start by latching the top edge. Then firmly press around the perimeter of the phone snapping the display assembly in-place.


Replace two pentalobe screws near the lighting connector. Remove the protective film and we're done!
