You can tell i'm using a genuine cable because the cable is disintegrated LOOOOL

[@travisash8180]

Once you have their money... you never give it back. The best deal is the one that brings the most profit. Money is everything. Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to. Always exaggerate your estimates. Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity. Keep your ears open.

Hi Hugh, nice video again. It's always nice to watch you giving older/broken phones a new life. By the way. Which is your favorite brand for screen protectors? I've tried a few but it's always a pain to install them. Do you have a recommendation?

[@bigpaw01]

Some people says it’s not worth fixing. But if you can fix old tech and give it life again with someone who needs it. It’s a win win. Plus I like watching you restore things.

[@superameen91]

These restoration videos are so satisfying to watch, please do it for Note 9

[@cooperhull]

Here in the US, you can get a good condition 5s for around $50 USD (Yes, I know $100 AUD is around $61 USD)

[@iabf6365]

Cooper Hull yep I picked up a fully functional one in good condition for just 40$

[@SevenNumber7]

I sold my free 5s that i fixed up for 80 USD. It was in near perfect condition and still running iOS 10

[@KyleMoyer]

I just bought a 5s on iOS 8.4.1 for a little over $30 after shipping.

[@xguy10_pro21]

Man I love ur videos and it’s weird how I just revived an iPhone 5s from a boot loop what’s even weirder is the fact that it had the same software version as the one in your video 10.2.1 before I updated it

[@romantischee]

I've been watching soo much videos cuz i wanted to repair my 5s cuz the screen cracked and the battery it flatted it not working anymore and i really want to repair my 5s thanks for the vids keep up the good work

[@jateruy]

The 5S is such a timeless looking phone

[@aidenbagshaw5573]

I’ve done screen replacements on my SE, and I’ve always just bought screens made for the 5S. I’ve found it easy so long as I’m patient, although that one screw that’s holds the Touch ID flex cable to the screen is super annoying, and takes forever to get right. Any tips on how to make that easier?

[@mikehall3976]

Aiden Bagshaw it seems it’s just using the right pair of tweezers. The little bracket for Touch ID doesn’t seem necessary anyways, and I haven’t put mine back in. I know I should, but I can’t be bothered.

[@lIlIlIlIlIlI1]

Still rocking my Iphone 6s one replacement battery later and its still kicking had it since new. Updated it to IOS 13 a couple of months back and it works like a charm.

[@tristana.8304]

Shaun McMillan The 6s are bullet proof despite their age. I had 2 of them. One I bought used from eBay for about $200 USD. After a few months of using it daily the phone swelled due to a bad battery. I took it too the Apple store and the Gave me a new one ( it wasn’t brand new. I believe it was Apple refurbished ) for $50 and then it was dropped in water. Their one weakness. Water.

[@chriss2500]

Got a pair of beats x off of eBay listed as is for parts for $10. All I had to do was desolder the battery, charge it using an external battery charger, and resolder it. Everything works perfectly! They even came with the original box, and all the accessories!

[@BeardGawd88]

Loving your vids bro... Westin Question, can I swap an original iphone se internals into an iphone 5 housing?

[@dogancanyagz0658]

Great job

[@Loudes012]

Out of all the videos I looked up. Yours is the most informative I have the 5s but will not power up. I did change the battery and even charging it doesn't bring up even a thing on the screen.I may have damaged the logic board part above the battery where I started prying out the old battery. Could this be why it is not charging or even powering up! Great video.

[@AnDrEw17876]

if someone tries to remove the iPhone 5 battery pull tab you substituted, they will also rip the flex cable that’s now adhered under the pull tab... (4:59)

[@antoinev7183]

Nice OEM housing! It looks like you missed a component when reassembling; at 4:45 you can see that the washer that was floating around under the Wi-Fi antenna connector at 2:39 is missing. It's meant to go underneath the logic board right where the bigger of the two screws affixing the "small little bracket" is.

[@antoinev7183]

Also at 3:05, both charging flex cables are original parts. On the charging flex removed from the new housing, you can see that it has features that wouldn't be found on an aftermarket flex: 1.There is evidence of it originating from what was once a fully assembled iPhone around the headphone and Lightning ports; notice how your old one and the new one both have remnants of the black grommet that ensures a snug fit of the ports against the unibody housing 2. The top of the Lightning receptacle's exterior has a black sticker on it 3. The back of the FPC connector already has the foam padding on it That metal bracket underneath the headphone port is actually part of the antenna system. It looks like that on the A1530 model iPhone6,2 5s, but IIRC the one found in the iPhone6,1 5s is much smaller.

[@wildexploration6487]

you can also use double sided tape to hold down the battery

[@satsumagt5284]

I wonder how good is that aftermarket housing, it even has mill marks so it looks like a true 1:1 replica

[@jonathanthorpe1653]

These phones are beautiful in design and ease or repair. Only the Touch ID is coded to the logic board. So if it gets damaged you loose Touch ID. Speakers, headphone ports and batteries are easily changed in minutes. If your looking for a basic phone for your mother or need a back up these are still a good choice.

Nice video Hugh, used it as a guideline to open up my 5S and check the internals after a battery replacement done by a local shop. However, in this specific video, you have missed a very important detail. The infamous screw size difference of the lcd plate... Ended up with a permament 'error 9' situation :( I dont blame u at all, the decision was mine alone but if I were u, I would add a text in the video to highlight the issue and help other people avoid similar problems in the future. Big fan of your other videos as well, keep up the good work.
