iPhone 4 (CDMA/Verizon) Blank Rear Glass Panel

My Problem

Real Glass Panel on MY I Phone 4 (Verizon) was broken

My Fix

It was a little hard to remove the panel, looks like it was a little glue holding it to the other parts, after some time trying and trying finally was possible to removed. The placement of the new panel was really easy!!

Thanks!!

I am very Happy!!!

My Advice

Be patient!

Don't give up at the first or second attempt

Actually it is really possible an easy to do it!!

It paid off to have your phone fix and looking great again!!

and even better you did it !! and you didn't expend hundred of dollars with other people.

My Problem

Like a doofus, I dropped my iPhone on the pavement and the screen shattered. I had to use it for a week with clear packing tape on it, it was quite ghetto. I ordered the back panel plus the screen replacement kit from iFixit.

My Fix

The screen replacement was long but it worked. Took my about 90 minutes.

My Advice

Have a strategy for managing your hardware, you're pulling out LOTS of tiny little fasteners to replace the screen and they can easily get mixed up. It might be nice to have a step-numbered sorting bin that goes with this particular fixit kit.

My Problem

Broken front LCD glass

My Fix

Repair went well. I moved the earpiece, camera, lcd shield, and sensor cable over from my broken screen onto the new one following the guides on the site. Everything went together pretty well, but because of a dent in the top right corner I had to take everything back apart and bend the dent into shape.

My Advice

If your phone cracked from landing on a corner and you have a dent, make sure to use some pliers to re-shape the corner so it is rounded and will accept the screen.

My Problem

I dropped my daughters iphone 4 which broke the back glass.

My Fix

Repair was easy. After removing the 2 specials screws with the screwdrivers supplied, I slid off the bad back panel (slides toward camera side of phone to remove) and then slid on new replacement. It's as easy as that.

My Advice

I am not a fan of philips screws as they don't have the same torque and the head rounds out easier than star/torque screws. The original Iphone screws are 5 star pattern screws. You do not need to over tighten and crank on them, just snug them back up...but the 5 star pattern screws provide easier tightening with less effort than philips, so I re-used the original screws. Which screws you use is up to the end user as this kit will supply new philips screws along with a 5 star pattern and philips screwdriver.

My Problem

Replaced LCD screen on iPhone 4. The panel was shattered and the phone was disable.

My Fix

The repair went smooth, but the replacement display lacks the adhesive to form a tight fit. One of the 4 tabs on the new LCD replacement broke off very easy trying to fit the LCD into place.

My Advice

The instructions don't tell you to make sure that you remove the plastic lens from the front facing camera.

My Problem

The phone was dropped and shattered the rear panel, but the screen and phone still worked fine. It looked awful covered with tape to hold the guts in.

My Fix

The repair was quick and easy. I like repairing things and was quite disappointed that it was over so quickly. (as are most fun things in life)

My Advice

Watch the video and don't lose the tiny, tiny screws that came with the new back panel. The tiny screwdrivers are cool to keep to remember the experience.(and use again for something else)

My Problem

Tape just didn't cut it, because the back glass kept cutting me, even on the edges where tape couldn't reach.

My Fix

I followed along with a youtube video, and had absolutely no problem with the actual replacement or instructions except having to turn the phone off again when I accidentally turned it on while trying to get the screws out.

My Advice

Don't try to do the replacement procedure while there are preschoolers underfoot. They find it far too interesting and want to help with the "kid-sized" tools.

My Problem

Well I went to get into my car the other day and didn't have my case on my phone. My almost one year old son likes to chew on the case so I let him have it earlier that day. So when I was trying to get in the car I put my phone on the roof, well it slid right off and hit the ground. Cracked the bottom of the back panel

My Fix

The repair was extremely easy. Two screws and the panel pops off.

My Advice

Don't give your baby your phone case.
