How to change the iPhone 5s screen
Switch off the device and unscrew the two screws attached to the charging connector with a star screwdriver.
Use the special hook provided to attach it to the screen and lift it up. The most important thing is to be extra careful not to cut the wires that connect the Touch ID and Home buttons. The next step is to disconnect the cable that connects Touch ID from the connector and fold the screen. Once you’ve done this, all you have to do is look closely at the screen and you’ll see the wiring harnesses and, under the metal plate, the connectors. This plate is fixed with three extremely fine screws, so it’s your job to unscrew them. After unscrewing the screws and removing the plate, you will see three wires with connectors. Use the special plastic tools (blue) to disconnect them, and when you disconnect all three wires, the screen will come off.
So just grab the new screen and get on with the job: align the new screen with the top of your phone, tilt it 90˚ and connect the wires, starting from the bottom. Already done this task? Then all you have to do is screw in the metal plate with four screws and insert the screen into the phone’s metal frame.
As you can see, changing the screen is not complicated – all you need is the items listed above and follow the instructions carefully. Having these skills will save you time and money.
