My Problem

iPhone fell out of my pocket and exploded on my bathroom floor. The model was a little old but jailbroken and setup well for overseas trips. Did not want to replace with an unbroken model.

My Fix

Bought parts at iFixit as described in guide, followed guide. EASY.

My Advice

Great service. Fix or upgrade your favorite items instead of replacing. Satisfying and educational.

My Problem

left side of screen would not work when I touched it

My Fix

had to put a little force to the screen to make it work. but it was a fast fix

My Advice

The new screen may be a little tight. Hook the top in a press from the bottom to help it in.

My Problem

broken glass broken rear case and battery life...

My Fix

Perfect!

My Advice

actually it was pretty easy!

My Problem

After two and a half great years, I finally dropped my iPhone 3GS on concrete and shattered the glass. And only just weeks before the new iPhone is supposed to be announced. I figured I would keep the 3 GS long enough to see what Apple is going to produce next.

My Fix

The 3GS is pretty easy to get apart. The online repair guide was easy to follow and complete. It took less than 15 min to do the repair. It took way longer than that to back up the phone.

My Advice

iphone 3 GS is still a very serviceable smartphone. It is easy to fix yourself. If you crack your glass, it may be well worth the $99 to replace the display and postpone your next upgrade.

My Problem

After two and a half good years I finally shattered the glass of my trusty iPhone display. Since I had replaced the display on my kid's iPhone 3 before, I decided to do it again to buy time until the iPhone 5 comes.

My Fix

Everything went smoothly. The online manual has all the details needed. The 3GS is working great again.

My Advice

The iPhone 3GS is very easy to work on, unlike some or all later models. Fixing the screen may be well worth the $100 cost if you're not ready to upgrade.

My Problem

to save some money

My Fix

Great took just a few minutes

My Advice

Tools are worth it

My Problem

No problems just a challenge!

I just wanted to make an iPhone 3GS myself. So I ordered the individual parts (back cover, dock connector, logic board, camera, display assembly) and put the thing together.

It works!

My Fix

Perfect with repair instructions from ifixit.

My Advice

Go to ifixit if you have problems with iPhones or Macs. The repair guides and instructional videos are really good. Follow them step-by-step. It always works.

Thank you ifixit!

My Problem

After smashing my iPhone face for the third time I needed yet another fix.

My Fix

My giant fingers were no help in plugging in the tiny ribbon cables but with my handy spludger and a glass of wine I was able to pull it off.

My Advice

Breath and take your time.

My Problem

Cracked screen

My Fix

Ten minutes just like your video said

My Advice

Wath the videos it will save you ot of time, thanks. Badassphillyphil !!!!!!!

My Problem

I dropped my Iphone 3GS and shattered the screen.

I was not eligible for a free replacement so I bought a new screen from Ifixit.

My Fix

The repair went great! I never had an Iphone or any phone apart before. I followed the directions and it took me less than 5 minutes to install the new screen.

This new screen seems to work better than my old one. it is more sensitive.

My Advice

Make sure the ribbon connectors are lined up correctly before trying to snap them in place. Do not try to force them on!
