If you’ve done a repair, odds are that you’ve come up against a connector or two. If you’re new to repair, like me, or you’re unfamiliar with the internals of your device, the variety of connectors you encounter can be confusing and tricky. The first time I tried to repair my iPhone, I totally busted my display cable connector because I tried to incorrectly reattach it. Turns out, knowing how to handle connectors is super important in repair! So, let’s go over some of the most common types and how to approach them!

We have a guide as well!
