The frame on the iPhone has come off, what should I do?

Often iPhone owners They come to our service with the same questions: what to do if the screen on an iPhone comes off 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 internal components we need to remove the display module first. 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 stated above, iPhone display glued into a frame that is attached to the smartphone body.
Although this glue holds well, like any other glue, over time and under the influence external factors loses its properties. 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, in the process iPhone repair, nothing will come off. Therefore, do not rush to scold the technician). Very often the reason lies in a bent case or a “swollen” battery. What's the end result? The longer you wait to make 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, it is ensured high quality and durability of service.

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 iPhone falling on hard surfaces, secondly, when disassembling the device carelessly (sometimes with careful disassembly, but due to the fact that the frame has peeled off from the screen, it loses its rigidity and it is impossible to disassemble the device without some effort. Although this applies more to the third option: “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– curvature of the body. Due to the characteristics of the metal alloy from which the body is made (sometimes called " back cover") it cannot be aligned. 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?) If there are serious gaps, anything can get inside your phone, and here the consequences are very difficult to predict.

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

- "Bathing" iPhone. After liquid gets in, at best, there will be problems with the screen compartment coming out.

Phone falling. Although the factory promises build quality, iPhones are not protected from impacts.

Battery expansion.

Manufacturing defects. A rare case, but it does happen, since it is impossible to keep track of production on such a scale.

How to detect and prevent such defects

Such malfunctions can be detected with with the help of the lung pressing on the edge of the screen, if the glass begins to move towards the inside, then either the glass has come off or the display module has come off. You can visually determine if there is a problem by looking at the sides of the phone. In both cases, it is necessary to contact specialists for diagnosis and repair.

Overheating of Apple devices occurs due to various factors: processor load, prolonged exposure to sunlight, being near hot elements. Due to heat, the adhesive tape weakens and cannot cope with the load, so the glass comes off. It is important to contact a workshop in time to restore your phone, otherwise consequences such as a broken display cable and touchscreen may occur.

With abundant moisture, the adhesive tape weakens, but the consequences of the defect may be worse than heating, since water subsequently penetrates onto the cables and parts motherboard. In the first case, in order to prevent the glass from peeling off, you need to handle the iPhone 5c with care, and also purchase additional protection in the form of cases and protective glasses. If you have a problem with the screen coming off due to mechanical damage, then the first sign will be a slight bulging of the glass; if you do not contact a specialist in time, the consequences can be more serious.

In another case, rare, but still occurring, swelling of the battery occurs due to improper operation of the circuit, short circuit, end of battery life, iPhone 4s overheating. When expanded, all the compartments move, therefore, the glass of the 5s comes out of the frames. The first sign is that the device does not charge for long; subsequently, complete shutdown phone.

• 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)

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. It's connected with design features iPhone models 5S: the frame in which the display module is glued is thinner at the top right.

The second and most common reason why the glass on an iPhone 5c comes off is careless handling of the mobile device. Protective glass may come off if the phone is dropped or 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.
