iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement

40 minutes - 1 hour

Moderate

My Problem

I had accidentally smashed the digitize. It had a spider web type break in it and was basically a finger shredder...

My Fix

The repair went perfect!! I had a little trouble getting the case apart initially. There was no good way to grasp the display to pull it apart. The suction cup didn't work. But after that, following a step by step video, I had it apart and back together in about a hour... ...and it wouldn't have taken so long if I hadn't lost a screw... The're REAL small... Like maybe the size of .25 of a piece of rice...

My Advice

I (with these 46 year old eyes) needed magnification... Luckily I had a magnification visor that I could use. I would have never been able to do it without it... Also, when I had trouble getting the old screen out (well, getting it started anyway), since it's a throwaway, I could have super glued a paperclip to the screen to use as a handle. I wish I had thought of that when I was doing it...
