My Problem
The screen of the iPhone was broken
My Fix
Initially was a little difficult as the cristal separated from the display, after that all went smooth and ok
My Advice
If your glass separate from the display in the initial step, try to use a plastic splunder, in my case worked really well
My Problem
Although I love my iPhone 3GS, I find the front panel glass to be very fragile. That, combined with my chronic clumsiness are a bad combination. (I once had a high school football coach tell me that I had hands like feet).
My Fix
The repair went flawlessly.
My Advice
I would recommend spending a few extra dollars to buy the entire front panel assembly instead of just the glass. Using a hair dryer or heat gun to melt glue can seem like an eternity when removing the broken glass. If you're at all impatient here, you can ruin the repair job.
My Problem
My friend dropped her iPhone 3GS and the screen shattered. The touchscreen still worked so I decided it was worth fixing.
My Fix
Great! The iFixit parts and tools were just what I needed. I finished in under two hours. Using the hair dryer and scraping out the old glue were tedious, but the plastic spudger was just the right tool for glue scraping.
My Advice
Wear safety glasses while picking broken bits of glass out of the plastic frame. Do it over a piece of paper or a towel.
My Problem
The screen on my father in laws iPhone 3GS screen cracked after a drop, so I fixed it for him.
My Fix
It was the second time I had replaced a 3GS screen before so I knew what to expect. No issues came up whatsoever and the whole repair was completed in about 25 minutes start to finish.
My Advice
As said many times before, make sure when you place the digitizer on the plastic frame, that the ribbon cable is were it should be! And just take your time. It's not as difficult as you may think.
My Problem
Cracked front screen.
My Fix
Easy to do. The guide was clear and easy to follow.
My Advice
Follow the guide closely.
