Many thanks Michael, I'll give that a go. I noticed a small plate that looked detchable in there, Stillinterested as to why none of the the other videos had to show that step as being necessary though?

Alan use and check the iFixit guides on here iPhone 5s LCD and Digitizer Replacement Step 9 would be the part I am thinking of. The touch ID ribbon cable.....
