iPhone Display Replacement
Steps to handle a display replacement and calibration in store.
Check-In
- Follow the normal iOS check-in procedure before starting the repair.
- Make sure Find My iPhone is disabled.
- Make sure the customer has a backup. If calibration fails we will have to replace the entire device.
- Verify coverage based on the updated VMI.
- Make sure to remove any cases or screen protectors before proceeding. Make the customer remove cases, not you. The phone must have nothing that prevents it from laying flat in the calibration unit.
- Verify diagnostics (MRI and applicable diagnostic) are ran in front of the customer.
Create Repair in GSX
Repair MUST be created in GSX before the calibration can be performed.
