iPhone 5C Screen Repair Tutorial Cracked Replacement | GadgetMenders.com

[@MichaelLitty]

Best iPhone 5C screen replacement video I've seen. I've watched several. This has great detail, close up shots, good audio and video. Nothing is left out. Well done.

[@myronjones5494]

Where can I purchase a full assembly for the 5C so that all I have to do is plug in the three cables.

[@slovos28]

Out of all the videos I've been trying to watch, this one was the most helpful. It showed all parts and went through all steps slowly and carefully. Although, just a heads up, you need some sort of adhesive, like the gel superglue he mentions, however I didn't realize that until I had every screw undone and just about everything taken apart. Otherwise, GadgetMenders thank you!

[@tonyyelensky1608]

absolutley spectacular demonstration. the part about keep the screen less than 90* saved me. i would have bent it all the way back and probably would have messed it up. thank you so much.

[@missiemarissa3530]

Thank you for this tutorial. This is my second 5c, and while the first one glitched out by software and they traded me a new one, this one fell and cracked so bad I could barely see which contact was my Mom's. My uncle bought a screen and this tutorial helped us a lot. I can finally read wattpad and watch KZbin on my cell again!

[@AnnijaJ]

I am taking m phone apart and a couple screws wont come out. Any suggestions? PLEASE HELP! :(

[@atay2020]

Great tutorial! Followed these steps exactly and now the phone has a new screen and works perfectly. Thanks so much.

[@ajsurfer1001]

Fantastic! Followed your instructions and i repaired my screen effortlessly! Thank you

[@tracyedwards8981]

Thank you for this video. It enabled me to replace my screen in just over an hour today.

[@MrMrwilem]

This is the best video no contest about it. you guys rock. excellent detail. very complete. thanks a million.

[@gadgetmenders]

Mr.Weezbad much appreciated

[@mkgaming316]

The best video I've come across! Helped me so much!

[@amorrisii]

Great tutorial. Followed steps from beginning to end of video. My phone works like new now.

[@ianburgess7748]

Excellent tutorial and a new screen on my FDA iPhone 5c..... winner!! thankyou

[@travisp11]

Is it better to unplug the battery before removing the old screen and connecting the new one in order to test it. I thought you could short out the phone if you don't uplug the battery before removing the screen. Maybe that was just for the regular iPhone 5.

[@chuckdilmore2040]

You did a beautiful job on this video - thank you! I performed this job yesterday (bought the kit so all components were included as one). My mic works when recording video or using the Voice Memos app... but Siri no longer hears me! I have fully Restored, Hard Reset, and Reset Network several times each - to no avail. Have you ever encountered that? Thanks again!

[@travisbrown4398]

hello thanks for your videos they help ALOT!! i had one question, are the iphone 5, 5c, and 5s screen the same, if not which ones are different??

[@bjamminlikewhoa]

Very good, clear and helpful video! I didn't have any issues with fixing my phone except having large clumsy fingers that kept dropping those tiny screws! but not one was lost and my phone works perfectly!!!! Thanks for the video, couldn't have done it without your help!

[@joshpatterson2150]

Hey! Great video. I got one query...the light sensor plastic cover...? I've misplaced it. How bad is this going to effect the overall outcome? Can i get a replacement from somehwere?

[@arcticfox8you672]

You made a good point by saying test it first because i got one for my 4s and it didn't work

[@tokitone]

Worked perfect !!! Just take your time and your good .. Took me 1hr with all the pauses lol

[@TheEyemanChannel]

the two plastic pieces @11:00 are really needed? I don't have the glue :c

[@zapherah4499]

Thank you very much for this tutorial I appreciate the help. Installation was easy because I bought the replacement screen that already had a button to it. However, I did make the mistake of unplugging an extra I guess its called a port? Anyway I plugged it back in screen looks great. Camera works, home button works. It's awesome. Thanks again!

[@tristanbutton690]

Thanks for this, took me a good 2 and half hours but i managed it. By following your steps my Iphone 5c is working perfectly. thanks again

[@MrHolyjones]

great video saved me alot of money. one of the best videos out there

[@rujikin]

Great video thanks! Successfully swapped the screen!

[@evophoto]

Amazing instructions... This really helped. Success on the first try! Thanks so much!

[@neshadeshae8088]

Thank You For This Video It Was Really Helpful, But It Took Us A Long Time To Finish The Screen Changing Process. I Think That It Should Be A Simpler Way To Change A Screen. Again I Want To Thank You For Making This Video

[@gadgetmenders]

There is a simpler way by using the full screen assembly which has all the components pre-attached so all you would be dealing with are the three ribbon cables that plug into the board.

[@dogsarebetter]

GadgetMenders Is there a video showing how to replace the screen with the full screen assembly kit with the pre-attached stuff?

[@CallofDutyanything21]

Just looked at your website everything I need is there thanks

[@yessegrc7169]

What kind of glue can be use for the front camera? Can i use crazy glue?? Thanks for the video

[@gadgetmenders]

Yessebell Garcia We use a super glue gel. Its not as runny, you can find it on the website.

[@ericbrown144]

I followed your video, tested the screen before reassembly everything and screen worked fine, nice color, no bad pixels and touch screen worked. When i finished the install and turned the phone on, the screen had bands running vertically and touch screen didn't work. I unplugged LCD and reattached again being very careful not to damage the connections but still same result. What are your thoughts?

[@gadgetmenders]

The LCD suffered damage when the screen was set flush. You probably need a new screen.

[@starpaintandreno]

Thanks for this, i was following your video and everything was going ok than suddenly the phone stop working and i could not bring the power back again i am wondering if i disconnected something any idea ?

[@happyjazzel]

Thank You so much for your help the instructions and video were great!! I was able to easily see everything I needed to.

[@henry78k]

I don't have the plastic position mounts for the camera and light sensitivity on my old screen? What do I do?

[@davidjacobuno11]

Could I buy a new screen already with the plastic things for the don't camera and light sensitivity?

[@gadgetmenders]

The complete screen assemblies with home button, camera, etc. all pre-attached are available on our website. This is recommended as it makes the repair process much quicker and easier.

[@cacopicotti2154]

the screen of the iPhone 5c is equal to that of the 5?

[@sofratbro576]

All the other tutorials I've seen never had the thing about gluing the circle to the front facing camera place on the new screen. Do I have to do that?

[@gadgetmenders]

SoFratBro We put just a tiny amount to keep it in place. Not necessary but we do it.

[@BauerAndManga]

GadgetMenders what about the battery? Other videos say to disconnect it first? I'm not sure whether its necessary?

[@gadgetmenders]

Daniel Sandler As long as the phone is powered off it'll be fine.

[@chubbylover87]

my screen is are just blue vertical stripes and where the "swich/open the phone" button is there are som horizontal lines. I cant really see where I made a mistake. I just bought the LCD screen and used the old digigital plate

[@gadgetmenders]

You have a defective screen and it needs to be replaced. The LCD on the underside is damaged. Even through the screen may not be cracked you will still need to replace the full assembly.

[@zapherah4499]

I had this same issue and the screen would not swipe. There is another very small port that is near the three other ports. This had come a loose for me and I simply plugged it back in and it worked. I thought my screen was ruined.

[@reaper741]

Is there a video to replace the micro phone and camera assembly?

[@gadgetmenders]

In this video we move the front camera assembly over to the new screen so you can use that part of the video as a reference.

[@earsonerin9441]

you just saved my life with this video!!!! haha thank you!!!!

[@dianamadrid671]

Thanks for your video you saved my phone!!!!!

[@adrenalineoff-road2104]

QUESTION--- I am taking m phone apart and a couple screws wont come out. Any suggestions?

[@briddy5166]

What is the name of the glue used in the video

[@simpson690rko]

[@98snapoker]

Then just completely turned off and now when I plug it in it vibrates every 5 seconds, I have replaced the battery so will replacing my screen help this???? PLEASE RESPOND I'm only 12

[@tatyanajordan8474]

Accidentally stripped the screws on the metal plate, how can I get them out?

[@grizzlybird3774]

Most helpful video you will find!

[@gadgetmenders]

***** thanks

[@MrSetax]

Muchas gracias, fue de gran ayuda, ojalá haga uno del 5s, saludos y nuevamente grax

[@caraonofryton4789]

where do you get that super gel stuff? where can i purchase it ?

[@gadgetmenders]

Cara Onofryton It is available on our website. I'll post a link. www.gadgetmenders.com/super-glue-gel.html

[@YoitsDomofo]

Is the phone 5/5s/5c glass/digitizer all the same? Or are they all different?

[@gadgetmenders]

Domo Rawrz They are slightly different. I strongly recommend getting the one for your specific phone.

[@topshonuff]

I don't see a website for the "Iphone 5c" screen? Or is it the same as the "Iphone 5s" screen?

[@gadgetmenders]

Our website is GadgetMenders.com. You can find all the parts and tools needed for this repair there.

[@alexistrujillo3349]

I replaced my screen and now i have horizontal lines showing , how can i get rid of them?

[@zhaneaustin6459]

Thanks this really helped!

[@amandaabersold3280]

I've replaced my screen and when I try to turn it on nothing happens. When I plug it in it makes a beeping sound like the sound when you plug the charger in and it does it over and over every few seconds and the screen stays black. I've also tried putting my old screen back on and it does the same thing. Any idea what I may have done wrong?

[@alannataylor2571]

cant get metal insert out! the screws just wont budge! is it absolutely necessary that it goes on new screen?

[@gadgetmenders]

Alanna Taylor If the screws are stripped, try putting a rubber band between the screw and the screwdriver, that should get more grip.

[@alannataylor2571]

They aren't stripped! But I did try the rubber band trick and it didnt work :(

[@yomama6982]

Please please help! For some reason it won't like switch to my front facing camera. Like when I open snapchat it doesn't even have the little thing in the top right corner to switch to the front camera. Why??

[@camilasanoja125]

I cannot remove the phillip screws in the home button. What do I do to remove them? They seem a little bit damaged

[@gadgetmenders]

Camila Sanoja You can try putting a rubber band between the screw and screwdriver which should give a little more grip.

[@dianamadrid671]

Best video Ever!!

[@elchessboy0wnzuagain]

im scared to try this on a phone... whats your advise?

[@gadgetmenders]

It's straightforward as you can see in the video. We will be offering a mail-in service shortly if you do not want to attempt yourself.

[@elchessboy0wnzuagain]

Question... Replaced the screen on ifone 5c. Screen blinks sometimes...and left hand swipe rarely but sometimes doesnt respond. Wat cud be wrong

[@gadgetmenders]

elchessboy0wnzuagain Sounds like a defective screen. If you purchased the screen from us contact our customer service team for assistance.

[@sosfenty]

Is it possible to replace it with a white screen?

[@gadgetmenders]

Tarah Taylor Yes as long as it is the same model you can interchange colors. We actually have colors other than just black and white on our website.

[@anilda1214]

My son has a water damaged iPhone 5c, but the battery hasn't died, can there be water inside the screen and can it be fixable?

[@gadgetmenders]

Anilda Rivera You could try the old cup of rice trick, other than that, water damage is pretty unpredictable. Usually causes damage to the logic board.

[@osdor1]

Gracias amigo!! 😀 thank you!! 👍

[@gadgetmenders]

OMAR ALONSO SOLIS OROZCO De nada

[@steezystephen1]

Thanks partially got me through

[@shatira101]

What can happen if you don't put glue I. The camera piece ?

[@gadgetmenders]

There is a risk that the camera placement will shift and will not be properly aligned with the camera window.

[@LaurieHardman]

What is my screen is not working...how do I power down my phone? Do I have to power it down?

[@gadgetmenders]

LaurieHardman Hold the power button until it gives you the option to shut down. I recommend you power it off before repair.

[@danielfaltas1252]

I followed all the instructions , my phone still does not work .. Whats wrong ? Hopefully i didnt damage anything

[@gadgetmenders]

Try resetting by holding the power button and home button simultaneously for 7-10 seconds.

[@MrFireman164]

excellent video !!!!

[@awog4203]

Thank you!!!

[@AnthonyDurand1]

Great guy! Thank you so much!! :')

[@feandreucci]

The best!! Tkss

[@kempjetta4608]

When I finished these white lines came up but the display is fixed I don't know what I did wrong

[@gadgetmenders]

kemp jetta Check to make sure the lcd cable is plugged in correctly and not broken. If its all ok, there is a chance that you got a bad screen. If it was purchased from us, please contact us to set up a replacement.

[@oreoedits7353]

Can i send my phone in or no

[@gadgetmenders]

Questions? I can help.

[@ellysemilyvidios8593]

will this reset my phone?

[@HayRiver2]

Nope :) only changing the screen not any of the software

[@jamelervin]

What if replacement screen not working

[@gadgetmenders]

Jamel Ervin If you bought it from us, contact us about a replacement.

[@HayRiver2]

Haha A replacement for the replacement screen

[@jamelervin]

It was a gift and I have no paper work

[@matthewobrien3446]

Sir- I am in a panic- I followed your instructions. You said to test the new digitizer to make sure it comes on before wasting all the time doing the work. I was so excited to see it come on. When it came on I saw that it had only 1% battery life and coincidentally it went dead while checking it. So while I was going the all of the instructions, I plugged the phone in to charge. When finished, and just before I snapped the screen back into the phone your instructions said that I may want to power the phone up to make sure nothing was messed up while putting it together. Well, I have not been able to power the phone back up. It has been charging for the last hour, and nothing. Is there something I could have done wrong? I will say this. The light sencor did not come out correctly. Only like a half piece of small metal came out. I could only put half back in. Could this cause the phone not to be powering back up?? Please help as the phone will not come back on at all. Thanks!!

[@brendamelton1200]

is here a way to fix water damage with a new screen?

[@gadgetmenders]

Brenda Melton With water damage usually comes damage to the logic board. Its pretty hard to diagnose, a new screen usually wont fix it unfortunately. But you could try, prolly do the battery first if anything.

[@Super00002010]

The metal peice behind the digitizer has a ripped cord

[@gadgetmenders]

You will need to replace this part.

[@shannoncolby3]

i cant get the suction cup to stick

[@gadgetmenders]

If the screen is badly cracked you can apply packaging tape over the screen to get solid suction.

[@bjamminlikewhoa]

also sometimes you need to get the suction a tiny bit wet. Be careful not to get it too wet especially if your screen is cracked but just a tiny wipe with a wet napkin should do.

[@alexissalgado1391]

GRACIAS TODO CLARO :)

[@maricehollister4223]

PLEASE HELP ME :( I did the repair myself w/ my grandmother and when I finished, I powered the phone back up and it wouldn't respond to my touch at all. I went back and undid the connectors & put them back in and powered up, well now it's not FULLY responding to my touch. I can use the phone, but say if I'm texting and I want to type "I", it won't let me use it. Also, there's a line down the screen on the side it won't respond to. Now I have another problem. I've been on 100% for a while and I was wondering why because I've been on my phone. Then my phone just automatically shuts down, while on 100%! I plug in the charger because it says it's dead, but when it comes back on it still says 100% ! PLEASE RESPOND, I don't know what to do or what I did wrong!

[@gadgetmenders]

Marice Hollister How did it break? Has the phone ever gotten wet? Anything else not working?

[@maricehollister4223]

It first cracked because I dropped it on concrete, but the touch, camera, picture, everything else was perfect just like before. Once I changed the screen. it did this. Wasn't water damaged at all. What would have caused it to do this from the time I took the old screen off and place the new one on?

[@parranoic]

Marice Hollister Maybe the screen quality is bad, where din you get it from ?

[@tonyyelensky1608]

[@ReiaChai]

will you lose all your information in your phone by doing this?

[@iC0NB0Y]

Thank you very much!

[@NunezAndrea]

I got all my screws but didn't organize them how do I know where to put each one??

[@gadgetmenders]

Dani N. Always best to organize. But, that said, you will know if its the wrong size when you screw it in. Try searching the web for some sort of diagram or picture that tells you which ones go where.
