Replacing the display on the iPhone 5 with your own hands: step by step instruction

Before you start the repair process, prepare the workplace. It is desirable to cover a smooth surface of a table with a dense fabric, in order to reduce the effect of sliding. Good illumination and the sound of your favorite songs are ideal assistants in such a responsible business as replacing the display on the iPhone 5 with your own hands.

Step # 1: Releasing the screen module frame

• Remove the two end screws that are located at the bottom of the case (at the ends of the system connector).
• Install the suction cup on the protective glass (as close to the Home button).
• With some effort, as they say, without fanaticism, pull the ring mounted on the front of the device, the tool-tool.
• Carefully push the credit card inward, between the bottom of the cabinet frame and the glass.

• So, if your device has an ambiguous addition in the form of a letter "S", then carefully unplug the biosensor connector from the motherboard.
• Smoothly move the lower part of the released module of the screen upwards, while the upper edge of the glass should remain in place (place the display vertically in relation to the horizontally located phone).

Step # 2: Dismantling the "visual" unit

Replacement of the display on the iPhone 5c (Russian interpretation of the S-modification) is made in the same scenario - "disassembly / assembly", as in the case of the previous fifth version of the device.

• Unscrew the four screws of the protective cover (upper right corner), under which there are pads for connecting the loops of the dismounted module.
• After that, carefully disconnect three connectors from the motherboard of the mobile device.
• Dismantling can be considered complete!

Step # 3: Reverse process - installation of a new part

• First of all, transfer to the new module the speaker and its connecting stub, which also has a light sensor and a front camera.
• Position the metal frame and the dismounted Home button (in the case of the iPhone 5s, the "Home" button).

• Connect the connecting elements of the video block to the corresponding connectors.
• At the top, install a protective screen and fix it with the same four screws.
• Attach the frame to the frame, while the positioning process should start from the top down.
• Fasten the screen module with the end screws from the bottom.
