iphone 5s repair

My wife and son went to the States for about a month and while there they both bought new Iphones. She asked me to sell her old one but when I checked it out, it was very clear that has some damage.

The bottom screws were still attached but it seems like the battery bulged up and in the process, it pulled the screen up with it.

I took the two screws holding the screen down and opened the phone but I was careful here because the home button flex cable was still attached to the board.

Once I released that, I was able to put the screen up safely.

I disconnected the battery and headed to disconnect the screen flex cables on the left side of the phone.

I plugged the screen flex cables and then connected the battery; it is very important to disconnect the battery before disconnecting / connecting the screen flex cables

otherwise you will end up shorting and damage components inside the phone like the back light filter and many more.

    Well done! Opening this type of small devices and conducting a repair work is beyond me! It is a nightmare even to think of it!

    I have never opened an Iphone before but with the repair instructions like you have given here it seems very doable. Although I in general think that the Apple brand of devices were never made to be easy serviceable. Since every component on Apple mainboards is only replaceable by in the schematics as critical marked original unavailable Apple parts.

      A Van Bemmelen: from experience Apple devices are not easy to be serviced when it comes to board level repairs but with the ZXW schematics available at a reasonable price, repairs became easier and manageable. On the other hand, it is very doable and very easy to replace screens and other parts on that phone. have a good day
