Introduction
Use this guide to remove and replace the logic board in the iPhone SE 2022.
This guide was performed on the A2783 (international) model.
Note: Each iPhone's logic board and Touch ID fingerprint sensor are paired at the factory, so replacing the logic board will disable Touch ID unless you also install a replacement home button that has been properly paired to your new logic board.
This guide includes the removal of the Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna to make the logic board removal and installation easier. However if you feel confident with your repair, you can dispense with these steps and only disconnect the antenna.
If you do not replace the adhesive seals when reassembling, your device will function normally, but will most likely lose its water protection.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
