iPhone 5 Volume, Power, and Mute button fix in 6 Minutes!

[@codyculp4950]

Recently watched your video on how to change iphone 6 housing. Looked pretty complicated but was actually pretty straightforward and took hardly any time at all

[@samlugo6450]

love your videos!!! I love how clear and simple you make them. you use arrows, skip the unscrewing and have good camera angles!! I absolutely want to come back to your chapel for all repairs!!!!

[@marius18br]

two and a half hours later i finaly replaced the power button flex cable and the battery of my i5. thanks a lot!

[@JerryRigEverything]

+Marius Vlad Its a tough repair! Good job!

[@mj-7444]

JerryRigEverything Hey bud I just got a housing kit and the power button included doesn't have the folding clip on it, Can i still use that button?Problem is the housing is gold and I don't wanna put a silver power button on it if I don't have to thanks

[@fabriciobarros9777]

Great video!!

[@kennethmkline23]

I couldn't help but notice that this video wasn't in the same order that you actually took it apart in. Still, knowing what I could and couldn't take apart or should and shouldn't take apart really help. Thanks a lot!

[@cameronketch2363]

Just replaced the ribbon cable and battery. It took about 2 hrs to complete (first time) but everything works! Thank you so much for your videos!

[@acr9319]

Jerry it is a 'GREAT' tutorial, I strongly recommend you to continue with the same kind of format (clear & close-up camera work, arrows and walk through comments making it so easy to understand). However the ONLY reason I couldn't give you a 'BRILLIANT' instead is - soon after you used your fingers in place of tweezers. That is my only criticism (constructive) of the tutorial. Keep em going. FANTASTIC.

[@ruby2961]

Dude thank you for growing your channel. Inspiration to those that need it like myself

[@jeffg8474]

one of the best iphone repair videos on youtube

[@djordjesajlovic6403]

Thanks man, you made my day. Now my power button works like charm... Greetings from Sarajevo ;) p.s. For all those people who complain, just try harder, until you make it work :D

[@ibsolutionibs9755]

The hardest part of this job is after those 5:56 minutes, and actually the hardest thing to repair in an Iphone 5. Thank you.

[@ShinobiMaster22]

Your the only vid on youtube that showed how to removed the ribbon cable from the bracket THANK a bunch

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thanks! I try to be as detailed as possible! Thanks for watching.

[@cmac8337]

Excellent Video. Good job.... I had Zero issues doing this repair by watching this. Thanks!!

[@JerryRigEverything]

C Mac Nice! Thats the goal. Glad I could help out!

[@bobbimcgrath9187]

I followed the video and it took me several hours because of the small screws and the backing up the video was cumbersome to put it back together. I originally needed the power button to be fixed, replaced the battery and also changed the home button cable. Everything but the volume keys are working. The keys move and spring but they don't make the volume go up or down. There are also vertical bars at the top of the screen that become less when you turn down the brightness. I'd really like the volume keys to work. Any suggestions? Going back in for the 4th time is a possible but only if you really have a good suggestion otherwise my daughter can adjust volume on the swipe screen. Thanks for the video!!

[@MrRahimhosein]

Apple has a free replacement program for the power/sleep/wake button. Either bot working or intermittent operation. Free replacement on phones manufactured after march 2013. Check the apple website and enter serial number and they will tell you right away if it qualifies or not

[@testytest3083]

RSH21 i took my 2nd hand iphone 5 to the apple store for the power button recall and the genius person laughed at me cause it had some after market repairs, i dont think that dudes is qualify for the recall after he opened his iphone

[@24hourstosavethearth]

Thanks for the vid very helpful. It took me around 2 hours to do this, but got there in the end. I would recommend numbering each screw on a sketch and also trying each switch for operation during reassembly. A couple of things for those attempting this, the wifi antenna does not need to be removed. Secondly the pegs on the new mute switch need to be melted with a soldering iron to fix permanently to the original bracket. Thanks again for vid, it would be really helpful if you could edit the video and do a voice over for reassembly.

[@desmond5593]

Thank you so much for making this video. It's clear, straight to the point and very informative. love it

[@robertbrnjac6667]

First time ever opening up my iPhone 5 to fix this problem. Directions worked like a charm. Very much appreciated.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Robert Brnjac Thanks! Glad I could help.

[@clubgamerstudios9945]

Lol I'm watching in 2019 and Zacks voice sounds so much more different

[@FunTastic36912]

Fantastic video, thank you! It all worked pretty well, although it took me a good and patient three hours. Most parts were glued down pretty solidly. In the re-assembly I forgot that one of the cables of this cable attaches to the TOP of the motherboard, not both underneath. I kept re-assembling until one of the screws didn't quite fit, which is when I figured out I had to trace back again and pull that part out from under the freshly placed motherboard. So watch out for that (or be smarter than me ;-)). Also, the wifi connector was pretty tricky to reconnect. But really grateful for all this guidance and advice, thanks!

[@NikolasSMK]

Great video! Would be also useful to see how to put it back together.

[@joehdrk]

Thanks for the video post. I just repaired my iPhones power button. Not an easy fix to replace that flex cable but your video definitely helped.

[@JerryRigEverything]

joehdrk Nice! That is a tough repair.

[@raphaelsommer9808]

youtube and ebay, just a perfect mix :) thanks !!! it's so cool and easy :)

[@thomasbrown7171]

I followed the video, and it is very detailed. For reassembly, simply back up a little at a time and put it back together in reverse order. I strongly suggest that you watch it all the way through at least once. I was pausing the video, and when I got to the part about the power button bracket, I paused it before he said that you just pull the cable out behind it. I actually removed the bracket, and it was a pain to get 'right' again. By the way, some of the tool kits put a couple of plastic 'dimpled' boards in with the tools, which gives you places to put the screws as they come out. I wouldn't go by the 'six minutes' in the title. Maybe someone who has done this a number of times could, but I spent about 90 minutes, including my mishap with the power button. The mute switch was a nuisance as well. I had to use a needle to core out where the old bits of the cable were pressed in.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thomas Brown Oh for sure. I doubt even I could do the repair in 6 minutes. The '6 minutes' part of the title only apply to how long the video is and how long it takes to teach the process. Im glad it worked out for you though!

[@xalizalizx]

JerryRigEverything Yeah, that '6 minutes' title is very misleading imho.

[@codyculp4950]

Pretty straightforward fix. Thank you Jerry

[@insane2103]

Whenever the power buttons stop being responsive, it means the flat cabe is busted?

[@skyhigh169]

How about reversing the video for those of us doing the repair? That way I don't have to stop every ten seconds to rewind again

[@koffekoffein1]

Maybe try to place the parts in order as you take em off? Then it gets a little easier :)

[@cameronketch2363]

This makes the GS5 repair I finished look like a cake walk. So many components....

[@ythrevpt6250]

Hello I am fixing an iPhone 5 sleep/wake Power cable and your video was very helpful! It now works but I now have another problem. My wifi is not working now 😕 Any suggestions / I went back in and reattached everything carefully making sure it's all connected. Thanks!

[@JohanLarsen1993]

Thank you for your help! :) Although the title is a bit misleading - reading it, I thought it would take me 6 min to fix the problem.

[@willster528]

Great video for what i need to do for my iPhone 5. My volume and power buttons aren't responsive they just feel springy. So i assume i need to replace the flex cable but would i also need new buttons?

[@garrettmarvel]

installation is WAY harder than removal... plus the mute switch is attached (sonic weld?) to the bracket. once you remove it, you're screwed for relable reattachment and install.

[@Doesyou]

Also be careful of cheap volume flex cables, I got one about a month or two ago and when I installed it in my phone, the volume buttons (internal) were not sticking properly to the bracket.. I could not click them properly and as a result ended up getting a new OEM cable recently and plan to replace it when my vibrator also arrives since I dropped my phone and it sounds weird now.

[@SamoCoder]

Thanks for the video. Subscribed. Are cables for volume buttons from iphone 5, 5s, SE compatible? Can I take this circuit from 5s and set it to SE?

[@robmos9368]

Thank you! Good Video, helped me to fix my iPhone! :)

[@mricho22]

Can you advise: If the home button does not work... is it the home button itself or the flex cable that should be replaced? How do these cables stop working if the phone has never been worked on? Could it be a case of something not making a connection?

[@AbuMona81]

Dear. No need to remve WiFi Part!! I replaced 2 part on my iphone5. Battery and Volume button. With out remove WiFi part. Thanks.

[@SharpBalisong]

3:16 LMAO at the flying SIM card.

[@brianheiden6623]

Wow man you have done them all havent you lol. Nice man. Did look like you needed to pull the wifi off? I noticed you stuck it right back on?

[@gera4863]

This is probably a stupid question, but what kind of camera stand/tripod do you use? Your videos are great by the way!

[@JerryRigEverything]

Gerardo Martinez No, its a fantastic question! lol, I love talkin' shop with people. I have a long extension arm that I mount a Panasonic HC-V100 to. If you want to send me an email, I can send you links to all the tools I use for taking videos.

[@coalachaos6486]

hey. the long cable which you said you have no idea what its purpose is: it is the antenna ;)

[@karleetate2748]

Your very smart so I have a question,I have an iPod that I cracked because I dropped it and then I turned it on it had Rainbow colors popping out I could not see anything but colors and then I left for a quarter of an hour and it would not work after that do you no why?

[@connorreid8264]

Thanks for the video, it helps a lot. Quick question: If the lock/power button isn't working, do I need to replace the whole cable? Or is the button itself typically at fault?

[@Alex251295]

+Connor Reid Layout parts you remove in the order you remove them then just work back though them?

[@tsuon]

clear and easy to follow, thanks a bunch

[@JerryRigEverything]

that suon No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@crushedz]

Great vid and instructions.Made it possible.Thanks.

[@metalsnake00]

fix in 6min? yeah sure with cuting out video and making it short, this will take 1-2h for sure

[@mj-7444]

Up to 16 for a beginner

[@mj-7444]

After 10x about an hour.

[@chancafer]

The part at the end where you mentioned putting your phone back together had me in hysterics. There is no way in hell I could put that back together. Good vid though.

[@junothunder88m]

Thank you, very nice video, question. How much is actually needed to be removed if i just want to change the power button itself. Bought a used one and they did a lowsy job fixing the button. It works, but only half of the button it seems hah. Also, vibrator is extremely weak, could it just be the motor? Thank you so much!

[@JerryRigEverything]

Michael Mokler I have not swapped out the actual power button itself before, so i am not totally sure on that. BUT with your vibrator, it could be the motor, or just a bad connection with with the power. Make sure the little pads it sits on are clean.

[@alrnvvgreatwall]

on 3:39, how you removed the thing on the top left?

[@nadiahasanat9525]

Is the vibrator bracket necessary to have? I opened my phone up and I don't have one should I get one?

[@AnthonyVeith]

Hi Is the sound ribbon for the iPhone 5 the same for iPhone 5SE ?

[@jmitchell513]

lmao.. I'm doing this right now and THANK GOD I'm not watching your video for reference. 90% of this is putting it back together. You should make a video on that, it will take about an hour (without cutting and scripting parts out) oh and you will need adhesive (which no one tells you). It just reminds me why I hate and will never own an Apple product

[@karversvideos]

For people coming on this video 2017 or 2018 apple will actually take your phone back and replace it during that time they give you a phone to use during that time. Just go to apple.com the phones then there should be a iPhone 5 repair form to fill out.

[@koffekoffein1]

The motherboard i understand that it won’t work if you don’t take it away but do you really have to take out the battery? It’s hard especially when it has been there a while and got super sticky.

[@scotttuck]

i've watched 6 other tutorials on taking off the face plate including this one. But for some reason on mine, you open it and you don't see the battery or the cables at all. Its got a flat plate covering it all. I figured its probably snapped in, shouldn't be a problem. however, after trying to get it out for an hour I gave up. does any one have any ideas on how to go about getting the plate out ? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

[@vanztv5278]

is the 5s and 5 flex cable desame?

[@IamNeighborlee]

My power button wasn't working when I got it (yes, used, everything else works fine though,yes ebay),- so just wondering, - given the area around power button looks fairly solid, what could be wrong with it, whats likely to 'break' about that area/switch ? I know this phone has a high power buttom failure rate, but why , and is apple likely to fix it free given that , or forget it ,and deal>

[@ac130isback5]

This old video only has 156 comments, now his latest videos has more than a thousand comments

[@Ahmadsyar]

Shouldnt you be removing the battery cable first, then the display?

[@renattopaes]

First of all

[@riverbrowning8135]

Wow that looks easy , I thought it would be impossible .

[@anonymusanon3482]

Rigging the iPhone mute button to physically cut off battery power (or GSM/GPS/WIFI) possible ?

[@alonzomartii]

I'll just use the touch assistance.

[@justincox5004]

I replaced the flex cable bc the lock button wouldn't work but now it still doesn't work any suggestions? Also the phone says searching where the service bars usually are and usually says Verizon is this a antenna came off I put them on right I thought thank you

[@iamenrico9818]

My phone has randomly been going on mute, unmute rapidly giving annoying vibrations every 5 seconds. Will this fix it?

[@diegofotuche]

good video! one question: Is that true that a bad power/lock volume cause reboots and percentage battery ? please my iphone 5 reboots every time and some times battery percentage doesn't change.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Unless your button physically does not function, I doubt it is causing any reboots. Usually thats a software glitch. You can always try a new battery though. That might fix the percentage issue.

[@diegofotuche]

someone fixed my power button but after that my iphone reboots every 2 or 5 minutes, and sometimes the battery percentage issue. I read someone wrote that maybe i need to change power/lock volumen flex ribbon. thank you for helping me, I appreciate it.

[@JerryRigEverything]

If it started glitching AFTER you swapped the power button, than it might indeed be part of the issue.

[@diegofotuche]

You right thank you a lot! I'm mega subscribed and mega like!

[@geojor]

good information, thank you for your efforts ...

[@mohammedkhalil655]

Would this ribbon work on an iPhone 5se?

[@sharus7790]

[@JerryRigEverything]

No problem. Glad I could help!

[@Unknown-si8yx]

How much would it cost for me to get someone to fix this?

[@RicardoSantosPT]

It worked, thank you!!!!!!

[@generalpockets8979]

Lol my volume came back when I was watching this

Great video,! It worked.

Dude you are teaching us how to destroy our phone lols 😂 This is meant for expert seriously 😒

[@creativsync9261]

STFU

[@MoonGoddess7x]

what could be the cause of my volume down button not clicking when i press it? its stopped working and doesnt click when i push on it. Volume up does though???

[@JerryRigEverything]

Sel lovestovlog It could be that the ribbon cable part has just worn out.

[@7homas0wen]

Sooo no of buttons click. Power button is jammed and refuses to move. Volume buttons are loose and shake everywhere. Silent switch also will not move anywhere. Pls help me.

[@98505177229850590818]

why there is no video on how to put it back ? you should have told in starting of video

[@xaifkiller4961]

hello.. i just change my battery from phone shop and after 2 days my lock button can't function.. why?

[@Vidya1939]

Looks to me little difficult and dangerous operation ....removing many thing and re assembling back. Without creating a new fault to restore one fault???

[@MultiRebal]

I fixed the problem i had but now my phone doesnt vibrate anymore. Is it bec i tightened the screw too much or i didnt connect it

[@JerryRigEverything]

Rebal Carmelo Mansoor It could be that the vibrating motor just doesnt have a good connection with its power supply.

[@antoinetteloveslife7835]

How much should it cause?

[@marcomoyano9863]

Thanks for help me!

[@800game]

what is fair price to pay someone to fix power button?

[@zenapsgas]

Dont forget to connect the WiFi antenna to the L board! Forgot to do it and now my wifi sucks :)

[@henryliang4116]

Do you know if the Iphone 5s is the same as this?

[@damarizudin]

No, its different

[@worldrallyblu]

my girlfriend dropped her SE and the mute doesnt turn on, volume down doesnt work, and the flash is dimmed. hopefully this works

[@kmtt3268]

I'd break my phone doing this! Lol

[@TheSidlu]

Never, NEVER EVER try to remove battery with metal tool ... I once pushed it into the battery and fire went on in a second ... and I had to throw the phone on floor with tiles (how lucky I was I had such non-flammable floor). The smoke of burning battery is also very chemical...

[@rolandchandler2669]

Thats is such a cop out, all you did was dismantle the whole thing, lets see you struggle your ass off getting that flex back in properly

[@danielmoore7747]

I did this followed every step now i cant power phone up

[@joanpetervincent6175]

6 minutes eh? Dreaming buddy

[@Just1MorePerson1]

aint nobody got that for that ill keep my power button not working

[@wh3471]

looks very difficult..im not confident to do this..

[@jcarrier1979]

It says fix. All I saw was a removal. That doesn't fix the problem.

[@Muiokk]

Motherboard won't come out

[@JerryRigEverything]

Eddie Make sure all the screws are undone. It should come out easily without any prying. Dont force anything.

[@Muiokk]

Too late it seems one part of the board was stuck so it snapped in half

[@BruceWayne-mc7mf]

Ahah you broke your phone ahahah that's brilliant xD

[@marklivarchuk5969]

I'm dying ahahahahaha

[@jaxv94]

get it evicted

[@Lea-ng8vh]

Cool thanks!!

[@alidonnear]

thanks a bunch

[@JerryRigEverything]

Alidad Rezai No problem! Thanks for watching.

[@alisroutes9825]

OK BUT the the title is a bit CRAZY! The 6 minutes is only for disssambley not a FIX!!

[@skyhigh169]

Is there a damn video where they PUT IT BACK TOGETHER?? A REPAIR video isn't an instructional on how to remove a part. You NEED to show people how to reinstall. This is one of the toughest repairs for the iPhone 5 and it's a headache! Some tips for re assembly would be appreciated!

[@KenMcCann]

+Sky High Play the video backwards? Everything is reverse order.

[@Carlos-tx9vt]

So basically I have to strip the phone just to do this 😤 It’s all good, it’s a good thing I have patience. Just annoying
