IPhone 5s Screen Replacement 

Being a RU-vid tutorial creator, I know how appreciated good feedback can be. On this basis, I would like to thank you properly. I recently dropped my iPhone 5S and was eager to repair it myself, instead of paying someone else to do it. I followed your tutorial step by step to ensure that I was carrying out all of the procedures correctly and it worked. Your instructions were clear and the review was very well done. You should be very proud of this video and confident that anyone who follows it will succeed, as long as they are careful and patient. Sherwin :)

Thank you a million times over!! My daughter dropped her iPhone (uses like an iPod) and shattered her screen. We didn't want to pay $125 to fix it. We had another old iPhone 5s laying around that was dead. So, I took the dead iPhone screen and swapped it with the shattered screen. All this for only a $5 tool kit and the help from your amazing video!! I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge in this video. Have a great night!

You're a life saver. It cost me 30 minutes and $20 (rather than $600 to replace the whole thing). Thank you so much!

Thanks for this video. After spending quite a bit of money on getting the screen replaced a few times (my toddlers have a thing about throwing the phone around) I finally fixed it myself, with your help.

Replaced my iphone 5s screen successfully which was lying in the shelf over an year. It took almost 2 hours to complete. Was bit difficult on some parts. However end result was great. Thank you very much for the video. saved me lot of money.

Excellent tuition video. Takes time and patience but persevere and you can do it. As a previous comment noted, there is no need to remove the larger square shaped label from the back of the metal plate if you're using the plate again. Once you remove the camera the plate comes away with the silver plate attached. You just attach the silver plate to the new screen and reattach the camera. Thank you for uploading this very helpful video. No way could have completed this without it.

I followed your instructions. My daughters iphone 5s is working once again. She is all smiles from ear to ear with a hint of a happy tear in her eye. You sir, are awesome. Thank you!

Thank you so much! This is the second time I use your tutorial. Once when I was given a phone with a cracked screen; and the second time, when I cracked it. Your instructions are clear and very helpful. I'm not naturally gifted nor inclined to do mechanical stuff, but with your step-by-step process, I was able to successfully change the screen. You are a great instructor!

ATTENTION! The screws for the protective panel of the LCD flex cables MUST be of specific length. Otherwise, if you mix them up you can damage the traces on the pcb causing "the blue screen" boot loop. You can print a layout of your phone to keep track of what goes where. There is a video called "Classic 5s long screw damage trace repair to solve blue screen of death" by iPad Rehab with more info.

Andrew I couldn't thank enough!! You saved me over $150. That's how much they wanted for repair. I paid roughly $25 for the parts. Your instruction were crystal clear. Thanks for a job well done.

I just replaced it myself , saved 50$ . Thanks , owe you one ;)

You have a very nicely detailed tear down going on here. I give it all thumbs up. I accidentally cracked the digitizer while putting the screen and everything back into the housing, so I will definitely have to come back and watch this again to cover what ground I need to cover. 5/5, 10/10, 50/50, 100/100 and the accent was actually a very nice touch, as well.

1st time fixing an iPhone, so was a little nervous, but this tutorial made it super easy - thanks!

Hello Andrew!! Thank you so much for this step my step video. It was very helpful and accurate. None like these other videos that try to show you how to replace a iphone 5s screen with the demonstration of an iphone 4. NOT the same thing!!

Thank you so much for this video!! SUPER SUPER detailed and helpful- It took me a little longer than you as I had to rewind it multiple times, but for my first attempt, not too bad! The new screen works perfectly!

Thanks for the instructional video. Very detailed and step by step. I just replaced my sons iphone 5 screen following your video and was able to do it with out fail. It was à little bit of a pain in the butt because everthing is so small and i was scared i was going to mess something up but like you said take your time and be patient. Thanks again

Thank you for this very carefully explained video. As a result, I have just been able (and confident enough) to replace the very badly cracked screen on my mother-in-law's iPhone, so we don't need to replace it.

This was really helpful thank you. I hate paying people to do things like this, easy to follow and I've got a perfectly repaired screen 😊

Great video. Worked for me, only took 3 hours... I spent most of that time wrestling with the speaker/camera assembly to get it to fit into the new screen properly. In the end I went with "close enough" but everything works. Even the light sensor. Not bad for a £10 ebay job.

Just successfully fixed my broken 5S screen that was last operational around the end of 2016. Thanks for the great video my mate, first thing I've ever properly fixed that is (y)

Great Video on repairing the LCD Screen on the Iphone 5 will give this a Shot thanks for the instructions.

Excelent tutorial, I was able to replace the screen successfully following every step

Worked great! Thanks so much. I knew the basics, but I hadn't taken a screen apart fully before.

Thank you for posting this video! I found it very helpful, and it was the only thing I needed to use to fix my screen!

Thank you so much!…awesome video…fixed 2 iPhone 5s using the method…I loved it! Thanks for sharing sir. :)

Very informative tutorial Andrew, as soon as I have replaced my cracked screen I will return here to testify of that experience.

Thank you for a great instructional video. I just repaired my daughter's phone using your video as a guide.

this was a Godsend... just got my daughter's phone fixed before christmas. only problem i had was trying to put the screws back in the plate that covers the lcd connections... the connections kepts poppping loose and i would have to unscrew that and start that process over. the last step is much easier if u use tweezers to put the cover over the homescreen button connection, btw. other than that this was an awesome tutorial

Great video! Also, thanks for mentioning the part about the bracket screws being different lengths. it really matter as you can fry your logic board if you don't put them in the correct spots! Thanks.

Best tutorial on youtube. Thanks for the video. Just save my 150$ 💞

Incredible tutorial. Thank you so much! I actually had the same replacement kist that you were using so the video was a perfect guide. Saved me a load of money thanks👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the video! Successfully changed a screen. I did notice at 5:20 you can leave the foil tape on and just move the whole unit over instead of peeling and reapplying.

Thank you for posting this video, your step by step instructions were very helpful.

Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

Great tutorial, thanks for the upload! We had fun doing this, buy the time we tightened the last screw.

This was great! Thank you, I have so much confidence now. 🙂

Thank mang! you just extended my phones life by another four years!

Thanks for the video. There were two points that I suggest: 1. 4:00 Using a blade is unnecessary to remove the button, just gently press the button from the front 2. 5:00 The Tape/shielding can be kept attached to the metal backing and transferred in one piece Thanks again. I was able to see a part orientation I wasn't sure of.

Thank you, works fine! one thing i did different though is not remove the black tape on the metal plate. i just left it attached and put it on the new one but thanks again, you helped a lot

Cheers, just completed mine, easy to follow instructions

Fabulous Video, Very disruptive, clear and well narrated, Thank you :)

Thanks so much, was doubting if I could do this myself but managed fine and now my phone looks brand new! Will defo be recommending this tutorial to friends and I'll post a link under the reviews of the tool kit I bought online!

Thanks a lot! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. Saved me a small fortune in paying someone else to do it.

Thanks I found all I needed was to reconnect one of the three cables at the top This video was first one I found that address the small finger print cable Thanks

Good video. Just fixed my daughters old phone, so now I have a spare. Use tweezers to put on the last clamp, much easier.

Brilliant video, thank you - I changed the screen no problems

Just to say you dont need to take the black tape off the back of the metal oull the camrea unit out then un screw the metal plate it will come away as one

Thank you sir this was the first time i ever done something like this and i made it☺️ you saved me 100$

Awesome video, only bit i struggled with was the digitiser ribbon cable that was difficult to click in and then screwing on the template onto it.

Excellent video, I repaired my phone while watching it.

Thank you for the video. I managed to change the screen with your help :)

Great video! Thanks a lot!.. it just made my day! haha

Thank you very much ! You got my phone working.

Really nice job andrew

Damn, awesome video! Thanks! Saved loads of money.

Very helpful! Thanks!

Thank you i fixed my screen only thing is i didn't peel of the ground/copper sticker i just moved it with the metal bracket to new digitizer

Great video! Thank you.

great video. I'm planning on trying this soon. Just a suggestion: you should add a link to where we can order reliable replacement screens from

Thanx alot man... perfect.. I just replaced my screen thnx to you.. cherrrssss...

That was awesome Thanks dude New phone is ready to go

Worked a treat! many thanks

thanks for the video, just finished repairing mine. fell off my desk onto carpet (glass down) and looks like it took an impact on the center of the screen. funny that it broke from that as i have had much worse falls onto concrete/stone/tile.

This video was very helpfull for me. My Iphone 5s works very vell after changing the screen.

You saved my friend an easy $75/$100 thank you Sir!

Thank you!!! Works like a charm

Great video very helpful

VERY helpful video.

Great video love it!

Thanks a lot! very good video! It worked very well :)

the lcd/digitizer assembly I bought did *not* have the plastic camera alignment shroud, or the alignment shroud for the small behind-the-panel sensor. is this normal? I carefully removed the shrouds from the old assembly (they're very fragile). I affixed them to the new assembly with some of the double-sided tape. not very secure - but it was the best I could do in a pinch. great vid! helped immensely.

I just replaced my screen and all working great.Thank you so much for your excellent instructions really helped me a lot.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much for talking the time and doing this tutorial! Worked perfect On the first time! :))

This was very helpful

Congratulations for the tutorial. Works well for me. Thank you.

Hi Andrew, I have watched couple of videos in youtube for iPhone 5s screen replacement. noticed this in your video...u have removed copper shield adhesive from metal plate. Actually no need to remove the shield from metal plate.Thank you

HOLY GUACAMOLE I JUST FIXED MY OWN TOUCHSCREEN!! EXCELLENT VIDEO MY FRIEND! YOU FULLY DESERVE THAT THUMBS UP! MY PHONE IS RESPONDING BEAUTIFULLY NOW! WHOO!! I AM SO PUMPED!! #RU-vidEmpowersWomen2017!!!!!!!

Super Useful!

I smashed my new replaced screen while I was trying to put it back on. Ha :) Awesome video though! Thank you!!!

Andrew, thank you. My phone now works.

Good video very use full

I used my fingers for most of the parts except from here you unscrew things but it turned out perfectly well.

Great video. My daughters phone now works again after vertical stripes and almost no touch response. Some small rubber things fell out and the small metal clip on the right screw of the touch button. A close up of these things would have been nice, to see how to position them. Also the camera on this phone is very loos, and does not fit into anything I guess something is missing to hold it in place.

ThAnks for your help!

Very useful thanks

Thanks for the video. I lost one of the 4 screws that you unscrewed at 2:48. Will I be able to buy it separately?

Great Video..

Did you notice that there is a "tube" (approx. 3mm high and 7mm diameter) made of transparent plastic which holds (or centres) camera module in place. New front panel does not have this - at least the one I bought. Have you moved this part into new front panel before putting all things together again?

Fantastic instructions and a flipping great help , top bloke :+)

Thanks! I got a working phone now

Can’t believe how long ago this was. Just found my girlfriends old 5s so I thought I would fix it just for fun.

Thank you so much.

Just done mine, owe you a beer or three if you pass by Finland let me know ;)

Great vid thanks..a small touch with a hair dryer or heat gun will make taped parts come off more easy :)

great vid thanks

You are truest amazing
