Replacing the glass on the iPhone 5S and the body with your own hands

Replacing the glass on the iPhone 5S with your own hands is a process that interests many owners of Apple iPhones. The point here is the high cost of the operation, as several thousand rubles are charged for it in the service centers. Why is it so important to change the damaged glass? Replacement of protective glass on the iPhone 5S will be required in order to protect the internal elements of the device. If cracks appear on the screen, the risk of damage to the hardware increases.

What do we need?

Replacing the protective glass on the iPhone 5S is a painstaking business that requires the maximum possible concentration and concentration from the user who conducts the operation. That's why you should prepare all the tools that you need in the near future in advance so that you do not get distracted by trifles at the right time. This is primarily a new glass.

It should be bought in specialized stores. It's about the salons of communication. Yes, variants with online auctions are not excluded, but is it necessary to risk quality in order to purchase this component with a penny discount? Hardly. Especially in the case of an iPhone. To remove the adhesive, a solvent is required. The napkin is useful for removing the stains that remain on the glass. Removing the fragments will need to be some sharpened plastic object. In principle, you can use a screwdriver for this.

Can I save time?

Replacing the case and glass iPhone 5S, as mentioned earlier, is a painstaking procedure and time-consuming. But it can be shortened. However, it should be understood that in such a case there is a risk of a substandard replacement. But since we started talking about this, we need to continue. For quick replacement, use a hairdryer. He warms the glass. Too much temperature do not need. After that, use a plastic pointed object to remove the old glass in small pieces.

Step-by-step instruction

Earlier it was said that before starting to install a new glass, you should prepare a workplace. It is advisable to carry out the procedure on a smooth flat surface. For this purpose, the table is ideal, for example. The surface can also be covered with a dense cloth. This will help reduce the slip of the phone. An additional bonus is good lighting.

Step one. Releasing the module

Repair iPhone 5S (replacement of glass in our case) will not do without such an event, as the release from under the frame of a kind of "hostage" - the screen module. To do this, unscrew the end screws located at the bottom of the phone. There should be two. You can see the location at the edges of the connector. On the protective glass we install the suction cup-puller. You should position it closer to the Home key. With a little effort, pull the ring, which is on the front of the device. It is important not to use excessive force here. Between a glass and the bottom part of a frame of the case it is necessary to push through a thin subject accurately. As soon as we notice the line of separation, the sucker retraction should be intensified. In this case, the outgoing glass should be tapped with unsharp movements using, for example, a plastic card.

At this stage, you should be very careful, because most users fail here. The consequences can be very deplorable, since an unfortunate repairman can easily tear the sensor connection cable. And it, in turn, is integrated into the Home key. Replacing the iPhone 5S screen glass has some characteristic features. During the step, you need to unfasten the connector of the biological sensor. It is connected to the motherboard. Smoothly remove the module, or rather its lower part, so that the upper edge remains at the place where it was before.

Step two. Dismantle the block

Replacing the glass on the iPhone 5S will require the unwinding of additional screws. They are twisted in the upper right corner, there are four of them. With these screws, a protective cover is held in place. Withdrawing this part, you can find contact areas, designed to connect certain loops. We must dismantle this module. To do this, carefully disconnect the connection connectors (there will be three of them) from the phone card. If everything is done neatly, then we can assume that the dismantling of the block was successful.

Step three. Install the "new thing"

At this point, the replacement of the glass on the iPhone 5S is completed. Before fixing a new component, it should be equipped. We transfer the microphone to the new module, and also a connecting loop for it. There will still be a light sensor and a front camera of the device. The metal frame and the Home key are removed for a while. Connect the connecting elements to their connectors. Top the protective screen. We fix it with the help of the four screws that we had previously twisted. We put the frame back into its frame. However, fixing is done from top to bottom. Already at the very bottom, screw the end screws for the final fastening of the screen module. Everything, the replacement glass on the iPhone 5S is complete.

Remember the precautionary measures

Replacement of protective glass is always a responsible event. Therefore, you need to be careful to the maximum.

• Even with the removal of fragments of the old glass, you can admit a truly fatal mistake. It will cause the display to be damaged. Consequently, the repair will automatically rise in price.
• Adhesives and solvent also need to be able to use, because in some cases, improper application will lead to undesirable effects.

If the user doubts that he can independently turn this operation without negative consequences, it is better to contact the service center and pay money, but feel confident and not nervous about the quality.

How much will it cost to repair?

The price of new displays for the iPhone 5S does not have a fixed value. The cost varies depending on the manufacturer, shares and other parameters. In any case, it falls in the interval from 2 to 4 thousand rubles. Here the influence is also rendered by color, device modification, module and so on. Nobody excludes the possibility of acquiring Chinese copies. However, in order not to worry about the safety of the display and smartphone, you should purchase the original glass. It will cost more money than other modules, but will justify the money spent.

Technical nuances

The design feature of the screen module is a pair of liquid crystal components, a protective glass and a sensor element, which are integrated into one complete system. If it is necessary to separate the parts, special equipment can be used to neutralize the adhesive. If it does not exist, then it is unlikely to accomplish anything sensible. At least, without prejudice to the component.

This "technical sandwich" neatly separated with the help of only improvised home remedies can not. The separation process is a laborious sequence of actions. However, there is one loophole. This is an experience. If a user has already dealt with such things before, he must certainly know what can be done to separate the system into parts. Otherwise, you have to leave it as it is.

In conclusion of the article, we can say that the most difficult step will probably be the first one, since there it is necessary to accurately unhook the housing rim. And it's not easy to do it. Especially if the user is faced with such a need for the first time.
