The glass is coming off the iPhone 5 screen. The iPhone screen is coming off the frame.

Very often, iPhone owners turn to our service with the same questions: what to do if the screen on the iPhone moves away from the body (frame), or there is a gap (play) between the screen and the iPhone body? Now we will try to answer.

First, let's look at the system for attaching the display module on the iPhone to the metal body of the smartphone.

The fact is that, starting with the iPhone 5, the device is disassembled from the display side. Those. To get to the internal components we need to first remove the display module. The screen itself is glued to the plastic frame with special fasteners. These fasteners are inserted into grooves on the body.

When a person says that his screen is coming away from the body, there can be three options:

1) The screen comes off the plastic frame, which sits quite tightly in the body.
2) The screen, together with the plastic frame, does not fit tightly to the smartphone body.
3) A combination of the first and second options (which happens extremely rarely).

Why is this happening?
During operation, the phone is affected by a wide variety of physical and chemical factors. iPhones are used in hot, cold, and rainy weather. Liquids are spilled on it and subjected to mechanical stress. What your “apple assistant” has to endure. And all this cannot but leave marks on him.
Now let's look at the causes and consequences of each case:

The screen comes away from the plastic frame.

As mentioned above, the iPhone display is glued into a frame that is attached to the smartphone body.
Although this glue holds well, like any other glue, it loses its properties over time and under the influence of external factors. The screen begins to “float,” as it were, when you press on it at the place of gluing. A gap has appeared. It may be barely noticeable at first, and you most likely weren't paying attention. At this stage, it is often enough to warm up the display and press it against the frame (we do not recommend doing this yourself, there is a risk of killing the screen). Over time, moisture gets into the gap between the plastic and the glass, causing dust and dirt to become clogged. And then the button began to stick, or the battery began to discharge quickly. Accordingly, there was a need to disassemble the iPhone. (Do you remember that he understands it from the screen?). Mechanical action was added, which accelerated the peeling process. (If initially nothing comes off anywhere, then during the iPhone repair process nothing will come off. Therefore, do not rush to scold the repairman). Very often the reason lies in a bent case or a “swollen” battery. What's the end result? The longer you delay repairs, the worse the consequences may be. So, for example, if your frame comes off too far, it catches the display backlight, and the backlight, in turn, also comes off

(glued to the back of the screen with a special double-sided tape and consists of several light-scattering layers).

Dust, debris, and moisture get under the backlight and between its layers. On the screen it looks like black dots in the depths of the display, streaks.

From now on, you need to change not only the frame, but also the backlight.

Let's assume no repairs were made. What will be next? And then, when the screen moves well enough away from the frame, it will hang on the display cables (which, by the way, are very delicate and are afraid of any impact.) As a result, problems with the sensor and/or image will begin. Now you can only throw away the screen...
Another variant. The problem has already started, but you yourself, or somewhere you were offered to glue the frame. And it’s good if “super-moment”, “101 glue” and their analogues are not used for these purposes. Because if you need to replace the frame in the future, you can tear it off only along with the paint on the display. As a result, the glass will also have to be replaced.
The glue can also get under the backlight of the display, as a result of which, again, only replacing the backlight (if this is not a “super moment”, otherwise - replacing the screen). But even if everything turns out well, it is unknown how long this whole thing will last before it comes off again (after all, dust and dirt cannot be removed well).

The most optimal and competent option is to replace the frame with a new one. Factory hot melt adhesive is already applied to it. To replace such a frame, special equipment is required. With careful adherence to sizing technology, high quality and long service life are ensured.

The screen, together with the plastic frame, does not fit tightly to the body of the smartphone.

And again, as stated above, the iPhone display is glued into a frame that is attached to the smartphone body. Sometimes these fasteners break. There may be several reasons: firstly, this often happens when the iPhone falls on hard surfaces, secondly, when the device is disassembled carelessly (sometimes with careful disassembly, but due to the fact that the frame has peeled off from the screen, it loses its rigidity and is impossible without some effort to disassemble the device. Although this applies more to the third option: “The screen moves away from both the frame and the body”). There is only one way out - change the frame to a new one.
It happens that the grooves on the body into which the frame fasteners are inserted become loose. Most often due to frequent disassembly of the device. This problem can be solved by tightening the grooves or replacing them.
And the most common reason is curvature of the body. Due to the nature of the metal alloy that makes up the case (sometimes called the “back cover”), it is impossible to align it. It is very brittle. In addition, it is simply physically impossible to make it perfectly even again. The solution is obvious - replacing the housing.
The consequences are quite banal. With a slight backlash, nothing bad will happen. Moreover, in rare cases, even on new iPhones this defect occurs. (Although it’s better to try to return it under warranty. Who wants an imperfect new apple?) With serious gaps, anything can get inside your phone, and here the consequences are very difficult to predict.

Finally, please remember one simple thing. If the screen on your iPhone has come off the case and the battery is swollen or the case itself is bent, misaligned, bent, etc. then no glue, no special equipment, or anything at all will help you until you replace the case.

The design of the screens of the iPhone 5 series and iPhone 6 series is such that the matrix is ​​attached to a frame made of plastic, and all this is installed in a metal case with latches.

The main reasons why the iPhone screen moves away from the frame.

Due to its not entirely reliable structure, the iPhone screen moves away from the body for the following reasons:

Dust ingress.

The iPhone screen is coming off due to dust getting under the plastic base. It will spread out the glue, resulting in a small gap. Over time, the situation will worsen and you will begin to hear a clicking sound at the top of the display, on the right. Usually the frame is thinner and less glue is used.

• - Hull deformation.

If you drop your smartphone or accidentally sit on it and bend the case, but the module remains intact, the iPhone screen moves away from the frame without falling into the old locks. Ideally, replacing the case will help in such a situation, but you can try to restore it. We advise you to contact the PlanetiPhone workshop for this because... To replace, you will need to completely disassemble the gadget.

• - Poor quality glue.

iPhone screen comes off after service repair? It is likely that this module was poorly glued at the factory, plus the dust that got in did its job and the display now has backlash.

• - Fastenings on the frame.

The mounts may be damaged as a result of a fall or unsuccessful attempts to open the smartphone. No matter how well the display is glued to the frame, it will continue to play.

If your iPhone screen is moving away from the frame, contact PlanetiPhone as soon as possible. The technicians will replace the screen in 20 minutes, with a guarantee!

If you notice that the screen on your iPhone 5 is coming off (there is play and you can hear a clicking sound when you press the middle or corner of the screen, other signs), it is better to immediately contact a specialist and fix the problem. Otherwise, the problem may get worse:

• If you do not repair the backlash of the iPhone 5S screen in a timely manner, the phone will gradually stop responding to commands (or will work every other time)
• Dust or moisture will get into the resulting gap under the glass, which will quickly cause the display to fail, and other components of the smartphone (including the motherboard) may also be damaged.

Yudu service providers will help you avoid these troubles. They will quickly and efficiently repair your iPhone 5S. Phone repair will take a minimum of time, prices for services are the most affordable.

Features of smartphone touch screen repair

The play that is observed when you press the screen may be due to a violation of the sizing technology (factory defect). As practice shows, most often the glass part of the display comes off and a gap forms in the upper right corner. This is due to the design features of the iPhone 5S model: the frame into which the display module is glued is thinner in the upper right part.

The second and most common reason why the glass on an iPhone 5c comes off is careless handling of the mobile device. The protective glass may come off if the phone is dropped or subjected to rough mechanical impact (impact, increased weight load, etc.).

To fix a phone where the screen is coming off, you need to:

• completely peel off the plastic frame
• Carefully remove old glue, dust and other dirt between the display module and the frame
• glue the detachable display

If the protective glass part on the iPhone 5S screen is cracked when dropped, it can only be replaced together with the display (since they are connected into a single module). This work requires jeweler's precision and care. It is impossible to cope with it without special skills.

It takes an experienced technician about half an hour to repair an iPhone 5c whose touch screen has come off. It will take another hour and a half for the glue to dry and the smartphone to be completely ready for use.

Price for specialist services

The cost of service depends on the total amount of work performed by the specialist. The technician will be able to tell you the exact amount only after examining your iPhone 5c model.

If only screen repair is required to restore the device’s functionality, the price will be the same. If during diagnostics it turns out that other hardware elements need to be replaced (for example, a nearby speaker), as well as a cracked case or frame, the costs will be higher.

Yudu performers repair Apple devices using original spare parts. Such components are more expensive than their analogues, but with them the technician can guarantee long-term and uninterrupted operation of the device after repair.

Any smartphone has its design flaws, and the iPhone is not without them. Each of the models of this device is characterized by some “branded” jamb. For iPhones of the fifth and sixth series, such a jamb is a detached display from the body. In this article we will tell you what to do if this problem affects you, and whether you should try to solve it yourself.

It is worth noting that most often the screen comes off on iPhone 6 and 6S models, however, users of iPhone 5, 5S and 5C, which are similar in design, also often contact the service with a similar problem.

The specific design of the “fives” and “sixes” is as follows: a plastic frame is first attached to the metal body of the device, and the display is placed in it. Such an assembly scheme can hardly be called reliable - fragile plastic holds a weighty glass screen, and therefore, despite the fact that Apple factories do everything very carefully and efficiently, the slightest user mistake can lead to the iPhone display starting to come off.

The screen can come off even if the smartphone is slightly dropped. What can I say, it’s not uncommon for the display to start to come off simply because dust gets clogged under the frame. Dust slowly corrodes the glue, and the user will first notice a slight play in the screen, and then begin to hear a characteristic click somewhere in the upper corner of the device - this is almost a 100% sign that the display has begun to peel off. Most often, by the way, the screen clicks in the upper right corner, which is understandable - due to the design features, in this place the frame is thinnest and there is the least amount of glue.

Professionals recommend that users contact a service center at the slightest play, otherwise the cable may be damaged, and if the cable on the iPhone comes off, this is a completely different repair and a completely different cost. Taking into account the fact that repairing Apple equipment is already expensive, it’s probably not worth taking risks in this case.

Can I fix the problem myself?

At first glance, it may seem that fixing the problem with a detached display is quite simple. And, true, everything looks very innocent - the user sees only a screen moving slightly away from the frame.

Many people try to correct the situation in a very primitive way, assuming that the screen just jumped out of the grooves, and not suspecting that it is actually coming unstuck. At best, such “repairs” lead to nothing; at worst, the display may crack if you try too hard, which is called “shove in something that can’t be pushed in,” because the glass on the iPhone is very thin.

What does the process of fixing a falling iPhone glass look like? It consists of three stages:

• peeling off the plastic frame
• removing old glue, as well as dust and dirt accumulated between the display and frame
• glass plywood

As you can see, the process is quite responsible, but if you are a confident person and are “friendly” with technology, why not really try to save money; after all, there is nothing supernaturally difficult in repairs.

Instructions for fixing a falling screen yourself

So, if you decide to repair it yourself, follow the following instructions (given for the iPhone 5, but most of the points are relevant for the 5S, 6, 6S models - these smartphones have very similar designs):

1 Unscrew the screws that hold the touchscreen on the outside of the smartphone - the operation is performed using a Phillips screwdriver. 2 We take a suction cup in one hand, a special plastic spatula in the other - it is sold in kits for repairing Apple equipment (such kits are inexpensive, and there are tools for all occasions) and begin to carefully lift and unfasten the display.
3 Before removing the touch panel, let's make sure that all the fasteners are disconnected by literally lifting the screen a couple of millimeters - does it come off freely? So, feel free to take it off! Bold, but still neat. 4 Now you need to completely peel off the screen from the frame, clean everything from glue and dust. Important! To remove the glue, you may need a solvent - we use one that is not too caustic, otherwise the plastic may be damaged. 5 All we have to do is apply glue (it’s better to buy special glue at the same place where you bought the tool kit) and re-glue the screen, and then assemble the smartphone. 6 Well! We hope everything worked out for you!

Maybe it's better to go to the service?

Yes, as we noted above, repairing a failing display is not a supernaturally difficult undertaking, but it is still, as they say, a task with an asterisk, and if you have even the slightest doubt that you will be able to repair the device yourself, go straight to the service!

And one more important point - the fact is that it is not uncommon for the display to come off not because it has come unstuck from the frame, but for some other reason. For example, you dropped the device, because of this the camera module shifted slightly (this, by the way, is a very common problem on the iPhone 5S), and the display moved away from the body. In this case, the repair will look different - you will still have to put the camera in place, but you won’t need to glue anything. What are we talking about? Moreover, incorrect diagnosis of the problem can lead to you disassembling the smartphone and discovering that you are unable to help it. However, we do not want to instill uncertainty in you, but it would simply not be right not to warn about such a development of the situation!

Very often on iPhone 5 / 5s / 6 / 6 Plus the display / screen begins to move away from the body. The essence of the problem: the design of these iPhone models is such that a plastic frame is inserted into the metal case, and the display module is glued into this frame; due to different voltages, the display begins to come off.

Why does the display on my iPhone come off? This can happen for many reasons:

1) The body is bent or the corner is wrinkled– under voltage, the glass begins to peel off from the plastic frame. This is the same as taking a plate and trying to apply a ruler to the bottom; in this case, the ruler will either bend back or burst. The display on the iPhone acts as a ruler.

What to do if the screen on your iPhone comes off? If you have this situation, then you must first eliminate the cause, and only then glue the display / screen back to the plastic frame, it can be either or.

2) Due to iPhone drops and dust the glue no longer holds the display and plastic frame tightly. This is often combined with the first point. I dropped my iPhone and the screen came off. The display shakes when you press on a corner, in most cases it is the upper right corner, where the frame is thinnest and there is the least amount of glue due to design features.

If you do not come to the service on time, the display begins to come off more and, as a result, the touchscreen or screen cable is damaged. This display is for replacement only. Therefore, we recommend that you promptly contact the service with this problem so that. This work is done within 1-3 hours. The glue must dry thoroughly.

3) iPhone 5 / 5s / 6 / 6 Plus is disassembled through the screen, which means that if the glue between the plastic frame and the LCD screen is of poor quality or dust has clogged there, then after opening the iPhone, for example, to replace the battery, the display may begin to peel off. It is better not to put off this problem and ask the service to fix it.

4) The fastenings of the plastic frame are faulty. In case of falls or unsuccessful openings, the antennae on the plastic frame may be broken, in this case, no matter how well the display is glued to the frame, the screen will still move.

If you are faced with the problem that the display is coming off the iPhone body, do not be discouraged; contact us at i-Service in time, your problem will be resolved in the shortest possible time.
