My Problem
My wife recently lost her iPhone 6S at the JetBlue terminal in N.Y. She turned to our unused iPhone 5 for temporary relief but the once trusty phone would not hold a charge. Rather than pay someone to replace the battery, I decided to do it myself.
My Fix
The IFIXIT kit arrived way sooner than I expected. Arrived with all the tools needed to do the job. However, something which I had not anticipated happened. iPhone 5 screen separated while disassembling. Seems the phone had been dropped on the bottom left corner which had caused damage to the screen assembly. Considering how old this device is. I have decided not to invest on a new screen. As of right now the battery is still in its original packaging. Unless I find an iPhone 5 screen assembly at a very low price, chances are I will never see this project through.
My Advice
I recommend you closely inspect the device you intend to repair and evaluate the possibility additional parts may be needed.
