Hi Mac friends. What's the best solution to clean the LOCA glue used by Apple on their LCD (after scraping as much glue with a sharp plastic that looks like pizza cut and some combination of bladed and long wedged plastic)? I have 70% rubbing alcohol isopropyl, 99.99% isopropyl alcohol, 50% distiled water + 50% 99.99% isopropyl alcohol. I also have acetone.
I'd like to ask, In the photo, on the left, what's that cable (both encircled in green) on the replacement glass+digitizer the contacts don't match the iPhone 6s Plus' cable, the teeth are different (but 100$ is for the iPhone 6s Plus). What about the blue film on the replacement glass, do I need a LOCA glue and an oven for it? Does it already have glue underneath that blue film like prepreg (if yes, do I bake it under a UV, under the sun, I do have a small UV flashlith 390+nm wavelength)?
Hi with some breaks, after 7 hours, I managed to remove the iPhone 6s Plus's LCD from the glass which was tough to do (sharp plastic from a pizza cutter and trial and error with GEM blade and double sided blade for shaving and a plastic too and heat from no. 2 setting blowdryer helped- it's tough), I'm not expecting the LCD to be clear but I'm aiming for usually, it's a fun project. I need to buy a new one for sure (iPhone 15?). If it's terribly damaged, I guess it's worth it buy the whole LCD with digitizer already in place next time at reputable stores like iFixit or OWC if they have (though it's a bit more expensive than buying a used iPhone 6 but maybe not a iPhone SE which is the one I'll buy if the LCD is too damaged from all that process).
Thank you, have a blessed week.
