Have your iPhone 5 drop down and broken the screen? I know it's a really painful feeling. But after view this article, you'll be no more sad.
If your iPhone 5 display assembly is damaged, you can repair it yourself with a brand new iPhone 5 LCD and Touch Screen Digitizer replacement part and some other tools. Below are the steps.
First, buy the replacement part from somewhere such as Flash Tech LLC.
Second, prepare some DIY tools, like:
* Razor blade
* Spudger tool
* 5-point security screwdriver
* Suction cup
* Standard #000 Phillips screwdriver
* iSesamo Opening tool (not necessary but awesome for prying up cables and getting under adhesive)
Third, power off your iPhone 5.
Before performing any repair, you should always turn your iPhone completely off by holding down the Power Button and using the Slide to power off feature. Once the iPhone has completely turned off, you can move on to the next step.
Fourth, remove the two security screws in the dock connector.
There are two security screws on either side of the Lightning connector port. Use your security screwdriver to remove them.
Fifth, Remove the damaged display.
There are two methods for removing the display. If you've cracked the bottom pretty badly you may find it hard to get a seal with a suction cup. We'll walk you through both ways of removing the display.
Sixth, Suction cup method.
This is the method we recommend and the one you should use if you can get a seal. If not, use the straight edge razor method below.
1. Position your suction cup firmly above the Home button.
2. Gently pull upwards while holding the phone down with your other hand.
3. The display is in there pretty good so you'll have to apply quite a bit of strength to pull it out. Just make sure you keep your hand over the top of the iPhone as you don't want to completely pull the display off. There are still cables attached underneath.
4. Once the display has dislodged from the device, swing it upwards to expose the cables connecting it underneath.
5. Move on to the next section.
All right, this is the first operate part. The second part will be posted on the next blog.
To be expected!
