Repair and disassembly information for the second-generation iPhone SE that was announced and released in April of 2020.

ribbon cable-iPhone se 2020

I recently ordered a replacement screen for my wife's black 2020 iPhone SE (order number US3319379).

I followed the ifixit online tutorial for replacing the screen, and it was functioning, but when I got it all back together and sealed the screen no longer powered on. I re-opened the phone and found a small rip in the upper ribbon cable, which caused the display not to function.

As a stopgap, I removed the upper ribbon cable and earpiece assembly from the old display, and installed them to the new display. They are functional but not working right.

I examined the two cables, and I noticed that the material used on the ifixit upper ribbon cable does not appear to be the same material or nearly as robust as the original apple cable. I am wondering if there might be any way that you could send a new replacement screen (IF435-000-3) and/or adhesive so that I can fully fix the phone or at least make it waterproof?

Any help you can provide would be appreciated; thanks again,

Matt Clevenger

Matt, this is the repair forum, manned primarily by volunteers like myself and regular users like you. It isn't monitored by the iFixit Store personnel, who are the ones you need to talk to.

You can use the new FixBot assistant to contact them or email them directly at support@ifixit.com. I would strongly suggest either deleting your question or editing out the personally identifying information, including your name, address and order number.
