iPhone 4S Blank Rear Glass Panel

My Problem

I dropped my girlfriend's new iphone and shattered the back plate. I fixed it cuz she was so !#^&@@ she had to go walk around the block a couple times before she would talk to me.

My Fix

5 minutes. Good instructions on the web site. Would probably try a more complicated repair from you guys. Hopefully I won't drop it again and need to.

My Advice

The replacement plate doesn't have all the little iphone serial numbers and such on the bottom of it. Not a big deal but my GF noticed and made sad faces.

I can't win.

My Problem

Back cover was shattered, and battery was old.

My Fix

Instructions were very clear, the most difficult part was dealing with the tiny screws. After repairs were made, the iPhone said "searching" for a signal, yet I was still able to make calls and send texts. I opened a chat session with Support, and they walked me through Settings/Network/Reset. After that, I had a signal meter and"ATT". Everything is now perfect!

My Advice

Advice?? Buy all your parts from ifixit!!

My Problem

The back of a iPhone 4s was shattered and I did not care to spend the money to have the "apple" symbol on the back of this phone.

My Fix

Easy as pie! The product came as promised and the step by step instructional videos walk you through the fix.

My Advice

Take your time and follow the instructions. I would definitely buy this product again to fix the back of any iPhone that has been shattered.

My Problem

wife dropped phone 15 minutes after I got it for her and broke back glass. Figured I would replace the battery while inside.

My Fix

it went flawlessly. went exactly by directions and did not deviate from them at all.

My Advice

work on a white background cloth or paper towel. Have plenty of light. Have a magnifying glass at hand Go exactly by directions if you don't understand a step stop and don't go any farther until you figure out the particular step

My Problem

I have an iPhone 4S that had a battery that would not hold a charge for more than one day.

My Fix

While surfing the internet one day I found the iFIXIT website and watched a video on the battery replacement for an iPhone. The procedure looked simple enough, so I purchased a new battery and new back cover, as mine was cracked. My order was delivered within a few days, and in just 10 minutes or less, I'd changed the battery and back glass, and had the phone all buttoned-up and on my charger.

My Advice

I always thought that replacing the battery in an iPhone required taking it to an authorized dealer and paying about $100 for the service. But, for only $25, I did it myself in minutes. The procedure is easy, and well worth the effort. Also the folks at IFIXIT provide great service and follow-up an your order to see how the repair went.

My Problem

The phone got dropped - on asphalt - twice - resulting in broken front and back panels.

My Fix

The repair went fine. It was a little more difficult than expected, due to the size of the parts involved. Screws were very difficult to tell apart. It took a bit of fiddling, but the end result was fine. The phone looks great, and worked perfectly on the first try. The instructions were generally very clear and the photos excellent.

My Advice

Be very, very careful with the screws! If you do something dumb, like, hypothetically speaking, jostling your work surface and getting the screws mixed up, it will be very, very difficult to sort it out. Very. Difficult.
