*Description*
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to replace the iPhone 17 Pro Max housing / frame with a full disassembly and reassembly guide. This repair is ideal if your frame is bent after a drop, the corners are dented, or the housing is scratched, chipped, or damaged around the camera area.
You’ll see how to safely remove and reinstall the display, battery, logic board, rear camera module, front camera / Face ID module, speakers, Taptic Engine, USB-C charging port, microphones, buttons, antennas, LiDAR module, and wireless charging coil. I also show how to handle the battery’s electrically released adhesive, run Repair Assistant calibration, and restore water resistance with new sealing adhesive.
This guide is useful whether you are replacing the housing only or transferring all original parts into a new frame. Follow carefully, keep track of every screw, and test all functions before sealing the phone.
