My Problem

réparé grace aux conseils et aux pieces livrés en un temps record (2 jours)

My Fix

sans problème

seule inquiétude le décollement du verre brisé mais finalement assez simple

My Advice

utiliser les outils fournis parfaitement adaptés + une lame fine pour décoller le verre (le metal spudger etant trop epais) et une precelle de dentiste pour manipuler + aisement les vis

My Problem

The phone still worked fine.

My Fix

The repair took about 2 1/2 hours. The most difficult parts were working with the broken glass. The suction cup pulled out shards of broken glass at first that stuck to it. Also, it was difficult to see where the pane of glass separated from the rest of the display.

My Advice

After cleaning off the suction cup I used duct tape to pull out remaining shards of glass by taping across the entire glass display and pulling the tape off. This needed to be done 3 or 4 times to get all the little pieces of glass. Then I used the suction cup -- still took a while, but the suction was much better with the remaining large piece of glass.

My Problem

I couldn't see anything, glass was completely shattered.

My Fix

Pretty simple when following the guide online. Once I figured out how to peel the old glass off, everything fell into place pretty quick.

My Advice

Nope.

My Problem

The digitizer was broken, but LCD works fine

My Fix

This went very vell! The tools supplied was long and made it easy to handle. Took me about an hour to repair it. The most time consuming part was to get all the old glass off the frame, but with good heat it came off fairly easy.

My Advice

The best thing you can do is warming up the glass before you try to remove it. To start I found it easiest to begin with the side. Just pull the frame out so you separate the frame and the glass and put the plastic pry-tool in between. Drag it to one of the sides, and heat well!

My Problem

Volume button had fallen off, and the Front panel had been broken from being dropped.

My Fix

The repair went well, it took me about 4 hours because i was very nervous about screwing something up. I did break the copper ground connector that is suppose to be in contact with the bezel. I managed to solder it back on though. In the end it worked out perfect!! Phone is working just fine.

My Advice

TAKE YOUR TIME! Get several small containers to put the different sets of screws in. With every step in the directions I placed the screws in their own little container and labeled that container. This saves you from playing a guessing game of which screws go where when you are reassembling it.

My Problem

Shattered screen.

My Fix

Success but long, the glass took forever to come away from the adhesive, even with a hair drier.

My Advice

Practice patience and do it in a well lit area where you are comfortable standing.

My Problem

I dropped my 'old' iPhone 3GS out an inner, unzipped pocket of my motorcycle jacket onto the steel deck of a car train, cracking the front glass. The phone worked alright but looked crappy with the cracked screen.

Problem: iPhone screen cracked but phone too good to throw out.

Solution: Replace broken screen glass with spare part.

Ordered a replacement screen from iFixit. Received the package shortly after. It even came with the necessary tools. Who can reasonably ask for more?

My Fix

I took my time, doing a thorough job. The repair guide was detailed and straight to the point without being overly lecturing, i.e. just right.

So the replacement job was a breeze, and the result: The phone as good as new, with many more miles to go!

My Advice

Not necessary, alhamdulillah!

My Problem

Objectif de l'appareil photo rayé sur I Phone 4, remplacé la façade arrière. Tres facile et rapide.

Façade avant Iphone3GS cassé, pas trop compliqué en prenant le temps de suivre la procédure.

My Fix

bien

My Advice

prenez bien le temps de suivre les procédures

My Problem

Screen was cracked and battery had diminished life.

My Fix

Repair was smooth. Watched the videos for iPhone disassembly a couple of times. The most difficult part of the whole process was separating the shattered glass from the support frame. I purchased the front panel glass-only assembly since the display and button were still working fine despite the shattered glass.

The final result is a phone that looks and acts brand new.

My Advice

It definitely helps to have a good pair of needlenose pliers available to assist in getting the screws positioned for reassembly.

I did not use a heat gun/hair dryer to soften the adhesive in order to separate the glass. I used a razor scraper with a razor blade (see image). It was tedious work but I didn't risk melting the button or anything else. I would advise putting a brand new blade in the scraper and placing the front panel on it's side. Take your time and be careful not to cut yourself. It helps to make sure you're always moving the blade away from you so in case you slip you're not going to gouge yourself (Boy Scout 101).

Even though this method is time consuming I think the finished product is worth it and this is a lower risk approach than the "melt it off" heat gun method.

My Problem

I got out of my friends car when she dropped me off. I did not notice my phone which fell out on the ground. When I realized I didn't have my phone, I looked and found it in the driveway , it had been run over by my friends car! The screen was smashed, but somehow the phone still worked.

I called AT & T , I had paid for insurance. They said they could not fix the phone but since I had insurance , they would replace it for $199.00. Since I got the phone, an iphone 3g for .99 cents I really didn't want to pay $200.00 bucks for a new one. Apple said that they also did not repair iphones, I could get a replacement 3gs for $149.00.

Better but I still could not come up with $150.00 for another phone. I got an email with a link to ifixit and ordered the repair kit for under $50.00. Yeah, you rock

My Fix

I handed my son Aaron the repair kit and told him to go to your website for instructions. He was able to fix my phone in a very short time. He said the repair was not as easy as it looked on the video, but it wasn't too hard.

So now my phone is perfect. Thanks Son and ifixit.

My Advice

I saved so much money and energy by not throwing out a good phone that I went back to the site to see if you had instructions for my Rolex watch. How about car repairs. Could you hook us up?
