I just watched the 5S take apart repair guide which happens to be exactly like the one I have. I followed the instructions to the 'T' and was really proud of myself until the very last step on the motherboard. Maybe the antenna was rotted but it broke when I tried to remove it from the motherboard and bounced across the room...into a deep dark hole somewhere. What do I need to replace this antenna lead. There are so many different types I don't know which one to choose. Help please. Reuben Atlanta, Ga.

Thank you for the indepth guide. Unfortunately I didn't happen upon this one and others with 5S in the title made no mention of the extra flex cable connected to the home button. It ended up getting damaged.. Do you know where I can acquire another?

Unfortunately we don't yet carry that part. However, check back soon as we are constantly adding items to our inventory.

Can i take apart my iPhone down do the battery ,motherboard & the loud speaker only & use it as a gps device , now of coarse I would set up the FIND MY IPHONE app , but will it work still if the phone battery died but was recharged , & I would not have a screen so maybe I can plug it back in to check the battery level , please reply & by the way , the iPhone is not connected to any phone network because I have a new iPhone , but I can still surf internet cause it log me on to WiFi , so will it still be able to track in the first place

excellent job thanks alot RU

Hey man thanks a lot, really helped because I got water in my phone and I heard its best to take it apart and rice it like that so thank you a lot I really appreciate it :)))))))

Excellent ..

do you know where i can buy screws from the beginning of the video and tools ?

Hi I don't know if you'll reply to this but I really need help. So the back camera (which should lie flush with the back cover) of my 5s got pushed in. I'm planning to open my phone myself to fix that. It still works but I hate how it looks and I feel it would be hard to clean in the future! So, will I need to unplug the battery first before fixing the camera or can I just go ahead and reposition the camera? Thanks

hi there i was wondering if there is a kit for the microphone. when i call people cant hear me and when i use the recording app its very low. is there any way to replace this?

Hi I went onto your guys website are the parts you have legit phone company parta

can you make a video on how to replace only the mother board?

Whats size flat head did you use for the motherboard?

Think I may have fried the hard drive of my iPhone. Is there a possibility that I may be able to recover my photos if I didn't back them up? The phone only turns on when plugged in but the screen is messed up & the computer doesn't recognize a device is plugged in.

What do I do if the flex cable came detached from the home button? When I was using the suction cup to lift the screen side up, I pulled too hard and the flex cable detached from the screen side. Is there an adhesive I can use to reattach?

hi. if i need to change the frame have to take the motherboard off is that mean all teh photos and data in the phone will gone ? thnx

Can this all be put back together?

i mixed the 4 screws up, that hold the lcd connector cover can anybody tell me what size goes where,cheers

does anyone know if the home key can be switched out to a new home flex?

I had two additional flat screws at the top of my 5S motherboard that you didn't show removal of. I removed one, but didn't see the other in the top little L box, so that little box snapped off! OUCH! After all that! Will the motherboard still work if this little top box isn't connected to it?

What happens if you take everything out and hook it all together and try to turn it on without the case? Just curious if it's safe to do that.

Rocky, We only offer the combination LCD(inner display) and Digitizer(outer glass) due to the fact that the two are fused together and very difficult to take apart. you can check out our site, repairsuniverse (.com) to see if you'd like to replace this part through us!

my iPhone 5s just has a plate covering the battery. I haven't seen any other iPhone 5s's like this. Any ideas on how to remove it? I don't see any screws or anything and it's probably not a good idea to just pry it open.

question. Is that a problem with the screen or motherboard? so i dropped my phone in water and i got as much water out as possible then put it in rice for 3 days. after the three days it worked, with just some water marks on the screen. the water marks on the screen faded away and the screen was working okay. about 5 hours in from the marks being away the screen started to malfunction and wouldt respond to my touches and sometimes it would just go black all of the sudden and overtime the screen turns black and its on, but just black, and i can still slide to unlock and stop alarms and navigate through the phone and open apps because i hear the music and games i open. like it works but its not displaying a picture sometimes.

what are the first 2 screws sizes?

My daughters 5s had water damage. I replaced battery. Now it frequently and randomly says its over heating. With a few pushes of the sleep button usually starts working again. Also when plugging in the lightning charger, it says "may not support this device". To charge we must plug in then turn off and let it charge while its not thinking about whether its compatible or not. Any ideas?

FINALLY THEY BRING BACK THE iPHONE 3GS SCREEN ASSEMBLY

hello, may I have a battery replacement?

hi if i rip the flex cable what can i do to fix it? It is now detaching from the screen part .....

Does this tiny "WiFi Antenna" need to be in any special position after replacement?? It seems to be able to lay in a number of positions, and after replacing the screen, my WiFi button is grayed out and says "WiFi is unavailable".

thank you for this. i need to learn for a job, question how do you keep track of all the diff sizes of screws? any tips?

The battery on my phone was difficult to remove due to the adhesive, just like you warned.

Every time I try and remove the battery the battery starts to warp. Its not going as smothly as yours so I stop. I am being really cautious because I am not trying to get burnt. Any suggestions? Also I dropped my phone in the lake what are some things I should be able to see to tell wether the battery is ruined or something else?

at 5:51, my home button screws won't come out :( i have the same tool he uses in the video and its not working for any of my phillips screws behind the home screen :(

What part of the phone controls the signal for the phone? I dropped my phone in water and now I have no service. I'm thinking of replacing whatever part that is to regain bars. Will this work?

You sound very similar to Brad Pitt in the Fight Club. Anyways, thanks for all the information!

question is the 5s back housing frame comparable to the 5 like if i were to try and put my five motherboard and charger port speakers battery and iphone 5 screen would it work ?

Hey are the iPhone 5, 5c, 5s screens the same at all? Like in size and exactly the same in the cables?

I was looking on your website and I didn't see anything about warranties..? Any?

Cool

The top of my screen is loose what can I do

I had my phone repaired from a cracked screen a couple of months ago. I noticed my self view camera does no work. Can it be that the screws that hold down the ribbon connectors were mixed up? If so are these screws different sizes and have a specific hole to fall in place. Thanks in advance.

how do you kn this and what happens if you rbroke it

There are many imitation parts out there but we offer only the highest quality parts that are specifically designed for your device.

So theres no way to replace the just the top screen with out removing all that right?? Mines broken.

do you guys have a screw placement chart i'm having trouble finding them for all versions of iphone 4, 4s, 5, 5c, 5s can you guys help

You forget to take off camera lens cover , inner flash diffuser cove and Earphone Ring. this should maybe be taken off to put on new LCD... if its missing there. (at 5:33)

Do you guys sell the metal back for the LCD screen? I purchased the screen and expected it to come with one. The last one was damage so now i need a replacement.

Great Video. I have an issue tho.. After reassembling my iPhone 5 s. I'm having trouble turning it on. The power button does not turn the phone on. So i plugged it into to the charger (just to turn it on) And it shows that the battery is completely dead (empty battery, one red bar) then it turns on (white back round black apple logo) then screen goes black, then it repeats? Battery Dead-Apple Logo-Black Screen. (Prior to the disassemble my battery was at 100%) Whats my issue? Assistance would be much appreciated..

Hello Drake , here you go on warranties. www.repairsuniverse.com/terms-and-conditions.html If you have another questions feel free to ask.

Where can I take my iPhone so they can fix it because it's wet

Watching on my 5s

why I cannot see the A7 chip?

Can you take the ribbon off the home button.

Where are the processors?

what if your phone was dropped in the toilet n flushed and now wont turn on, i even tried charging it an yes i did put it in rice

so what i understood from this is my phone is totally fucked and i just need to get a new one

What if you accidentally rip the flex cable??

Man that looks like its hard to put back together

why wont my motherboard come out...all the screws are out aswell

assembly...you keep using that word, i dont think it means what you think it means,

I tried to open the battery, It lit fucking fire

I watched this whole thing and followed along and you stopped before finishing removing all the components. Now I stick. yikes!

Video WOULD HAVE BEEN useful but COULD NOT HEAR THE QUIET AUDIO.

At least apple made it easier to change the screen

small ass motherboard....logic board
