Installing iPhone 1st Generation Display Assembly
Tips for reinstalling the mainboard:
* De-solder the battery from the mainboard once you have it out - it will make it much easier to reinstall.
* When you go to put it back together, remove the kapton (orange) tape over the 'S' shaped ribbon cable, and carefully unstick it from the metal plate.
* Start by ensuring the ZIF socket's clip is open, then work re-setting the 3 connectors at the top of the iPhone while holding the main board at a 45° angle to the front.
* Then pull the S shaped ribbon cable out and gently and place it into its slot being careful to make sure its lined up perfectly straight and close the socket's clip.
* Screw it all down and stick the S shaped connector back down with kapton tape if you have it, otherwise normal tape will do.
* Re-solder the battery back on and stick it back down into place.
