A few steps, and we take care of the rest.
To install a genuine Apple part and calibrate it with Apple's tools, your device must be placed in repair mode. Apple requires this step to protect your device against theft. It takes about two minutes in the Find My app on the device being repaired, ideally at home before you leave.
1. Your device
2. Its software version
To check: Settings › General › About, "iOS Version" line.
To check: Apple menu › About This Mac, "macOS" line.
3. Place the device in repair mode
Despite the trash icon, nothing is erased or removed: the device is simply placed in repair mode.
Find My stays on during the repair: there is nothing to turn back on afterwards.

Your device no longer turns on? Bring it in as is: we will look at it together at the store.
Reset it directly with Apple. Do it a few days before your appointment: depending on your account, Apple may require a verification period before giving you access again.
Reset my password ›For your security, never share your Apple Account password with anyone, including our team: you will enter it yourself on your device.
Find My and Activation Lock prevent a stolen device from being repaired or resold. Apple therefore checks that the owner has authorized the repair before we can calibrate the genuine part.
No. Despite the trash icon, repair mode does not erase anything. A backup is still recommended before any repair.
That method, like using icloud.com, does not place the device in repair mode and complicates the repair. The Find My app on the device being repaired is the only method to use.
We will help you do it on site, in the Find My app on the device. You will just need your Apple Account password.
Contact us before your appointment. Depending on the repair, we will present the available options.
We reply as soon as we reopen.
