One of the hardest parts about replacing the screen on the 4 or 4s is staying organized.
[6]
So I made this sweet little paper that will help you stay organized.
[9]
You can download it directly from my blog by clicking the bottom left hand corner.
[14]
One little tricked I鈥檝e learned is to put a piece of tape over the cracked screen.
[18]
It will keep shards of glass from going everywhere.
[21]
I will link replacement screens in the video description below so it鈥檚 easier for everybody
[27]
to find the good ones.
[28]
If you have any questions or anything, leave them in the comments.
[31]
I respond fairly regularly.
[32]
Turn the phone off it you can and then take out the SIM card.
[36]
As you can see this tutorial is going to be pretty straight forward; no fluff, as quick
[40]
as possible.
[41]
Take out the two bottom screws.
[42]
They are a pentalobe screw driver.
[44]
You can see the tools in the video description below.
[47]
The back slides up and then pops right off.
[49]
I鈥檓 going to go ahead and put that on my handy dandy little paper.
[53]
Two screws holding the battery bracket in and once that鈥檚 done, grab the little black
[57]
piece and you better believe there鈥檚 a slot on the paper for this as well.
[62]
Keep everything organized.
[65]
Then you lift the little bracket up and that un-connects the battery and you pull up on
[70]
the little pull tab.
[71]
If the pull tab breaks, which I鈥檝e had happen before, just pry the battery out.
[75]
It鈥檚 held in place by a little bit of glue.
[78]
Place that on the paper.
[79]
And then I just fold the tab over so it stays out of my way.
[82]
There鈥檚 a little shield holding the charging port connector.
[86]
Take that shield off.
[87]
There鈥檚 a spot for the screws as well.
[88]
And then there鈥檚 a top shield; four screws.
[92]
Lift that up and out.
[93]
There are two little slots in the bottom holding it onto the motherboard.
[98]
Place that on your little paper.
[104]
And then the camera.
[105]
It鈥檚 like a little Lego.
[106]
You lift up on that little bottom piece and it unclips.
[108]
Take the camera, put it on the paper.
[113]
And then there are some ribbon cables.
[115]
Kind of like Legos; just lift up and away- gently always.
[120]
These are to the screen, the digitizer and the LCD.
[122]
And then there鈥檚 this little black sticker covering up this little screw that we have
[128]
to also remove.
[130]
Once that screw is gone there will be a little gold piece that we also need to not lose.
[137]
Place it on your paper.
[138]
And another screw over here for another bracket.
[141]
This itty bitty bracket will come up and away from the board and you have to remove that
[146]
before you can start on the motherboard.
[149]
Another little connecter and then we鈥檙e going to bend up this other black part over
[152]
here just to give us a little bit more room to work with.
[156]
Three more ribbon cables down along the bottom, well, and the center of the motherboard.
[162]
And then we鈥檙e going to lift up the charging port connector.
[166]
Just kind of fold it up and out of our way.
[168]
Two screws holding down the bottom speaker.
[170]
Put that on the paper.
[173]
Also the little black triangle.
[174]
There鈥檚 a slot for everything.
[178]
And then this wire cable just clips up and away from the main board.
[184]
And then there are four screws holding on the main board.
[187]
Once those screws are done you can just kind of wiggle it out.
[189]
Make sure it鈥檚 not getting caught on any of the ribbon cables.
[192]
You want to be super gentle with those.
[195]
And then the little circle-y thingy as well.
[197]
There鈥檚 a slot for that on my paper.
[199]
Then there are four screws in the corner of the phone.
[202]
It鈥檚 very important that you remove these because this is what鈥檚 holding the screen
[206]
onto the frame of the iPhone.
[209]
There are six other screws along the sides and each of these has a little washer as well
[214]
so make sure to keep the washer with the screw.
[218]
Now this is only for the iPhone 4: unlatch that little latch and that鈥檚 for the Home
[223]
button so you don鈥檛 tear the ribbon cable on the Home button.
[227]
The iPhone 4s ribbon cable is not connected to the Home button as you鈥檒l see here in
[231]
a second.
[232]
Now the iPhone 4s screen easily pulls away from the frame.
[236]
You just want to slide those ribbon cables through the little hole.
[239]
Since it鈥檚 already broken it鈥檚 not too big of a deal if it breaks the little heads
[243]
off, but you know, be careful anyway.
[250]
And now you want to get rid of every little tiny bit of glass that you possibly can cuz
[253]
if there鈥檚 any glass in here, the screen鈥檚 not going to sit tight against the frame of
[257]
the phone anymore which is kind of a big deal.
[260]
So clean it up as best you can and take off the little plastic piece on the new screen
[264]
and slide it into place.
[266]
You want to keep those cables up at the top as straight as possible.
[269]
Keep in mind as well that the CDMA and the GSM have differently spaced frame brackets.
[274]
You can see that the ribbon cables up top are not bent in any way, they just slide straight
[278]
in.
[279]
If you feel like your cables are too short, chances are you bent one of them.
[284]
Now that it鈥檚 in place it sits flush with no glass in-between the screen and the frame.
[289]
And now I need to get my Home button up in there.
[291]
I鈥檓 taking it off of the old screen, just peeling it away.
[297]
Getting all the extra glass off of there and then popping it right into its little slot.
[307]
And now we鈥檙e going to put it all back together.
[308]
Four screws in the corner.
[311]
Make sure they鈥檙e all tight.
[313]
Six screws along the sides, also make sure they鈥檙e tight with the little washers in
[316]
place.
[317]
And that the screen is sitting flat against the frame.
[319]
And then you take the main board and slide it in the little grooves.
[323]
It will sit completely flat against the bottom of the phone.
[325]
Make sure there are no wire cables or anything else pinched underneath.
[329]
And then grab your little circle-y device and slide that in as well.
[334]
And then there鈥檚 going to be four screws around the outside of the main board.
[340]
Grab your loud speaker, pop that into place.
[342]
Put the top of the speaker in first and then drop the bottom of the speaker down and then
[348]
you can wrap the wire cable around.
[351]
Be really really careful when you鈥檙e putting this into place, when you鈥檙e clipping it
[355]
in, that you don鈥檛 bend any of the sides.
[357]
Now you put your little black triangle into place and screw both of those in.
[363]
And then you can fold over the charging port cable.
[369]
Clip that back into place.
[371]
Get the itty bitty bracket on top of the little screw hole.
[377]
Screw it back in.
[380]
Get the gold bracket next to the camera.
[382]
Place that in place.
[384]
Screw it in.
[387]
And get the camera in there; click it in like a little Lego.
[390]
You鈥檒l definitely know when it clicks in.
[392]
And then start folding over the ribbon cables.
[396]
These are the LCD and digitizer cables.
[401]
And then you have three more.
[402]
Start with the shortest one and then get the other ones in place.
[411]
And then the top shield clips in with the bottom two brackets and then there are four
[415]
screws around the outside.
[418]
One more shield covering the charging port cable.
[421]
Left up your little tab and get the battery in place.
[424]
Make sure not to pinch any of the cables as you鈥檙e sliding it in.
[427]
I like to put the top in first.
[429]
Take that little black bracket, get that into place and then screw in the two screws holding
[434]
the battery in place.
[436]
And get the back on there.
[439]
Two screws for the pentalobe screws, and the phone works.
