Is it safe to repair this iPhone?

Hey.

I've got an old iPhone 5s with a pretty badly shattered screen. Most of the top is missing from it.

The phone is still functional.

However, about a month ago the phone was dropped in water.

As I said, it still works fine apart from the fact that the SIM is not recognised in it.

Was just wondering if it was safe to perform a screen repair on this?

Yes, the screen broke AFTER the water damage.

Thanks,

Sam.

I wold say there is most likely a lot more wrong with your iPhone but I can't say for sure. If you just want to fix it for fun then definitely try to fix it but if not for fun, I think its time to upgrade Sam. But if you're just wondering if its safe then, yes of course! Just ware some gloves so you don't get small glass fragments on your fingers.

Yeah, is only for practice.

Want to get into repairing screens and someone is selling this iPhone 5s really cheap.

I heard about the water damage, and just wanted to make sure it was safe to open it up, and change the screen, with it being water damaged.

If you're saying it is, then great :)

Yeah its safe just make sure you disconnect the battery as soon as you get the old screen off. The old iPhone are a walk in the park compare to fixing the new ones so I recommend looking for newer models to play around with and fix. Good Luck to ya Sam!

Yeah. Thanks! Don't really know where to find them here for good prices. Tried to do an iPhone 4S a while back. Was not very successful :P
