[@GuruBrew]

Excellent Video! Very clear, easy to understand and professionally done. Thanks Where do I get that sticky tape.....

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

+GuruBrew Thank you! The red tape adhesive can be found here gocellphonerepair.com/tape

[@C4mp3r01]

thank you for making videos like this!

[@abdullahgaming5119]

dude your video is awesome but i have suggestion when you work on the screwdriver explain which screwdriver is for the right place and with the right screw and i have question i have broken logic board completely is possible to fix it and thank you

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make sure to point out exactly what tools I'm using in the future. When you say broken completely do you mean like there's a crack in it or something? If it's physically damaged like broken in half I'd say probably not although you may have some options for data recovery of that's what you're after.

[@Undar8ed03]

awesome thorough video. I bought an iPhone from someone who obviously had the screen repaired before. long story short, they bent the pins on the logic board that connect to the power cable. do you know anyone that would solder on a new one??

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Probably. Where are you located?

[@Undar8ed03]

+Go Cell Phone Repair thanks for responding. I live in the florida panhandle. I called my local cellphone shop but they don't do anything like that. I want to get this'd phone fixed but I don't know where to turn. Any help is appreciated

[@Undar8ed03]

Come to think of it. I seen bare logic board for sale on if I it. Do you think that would be a better route to take??

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Not necessarily. If it can be repaired you probably can save a few bucks. There's a guy in SC that may be able to help you if you mail it in. I'm waiting for him to send contact info.

[@nafizuddin9215]

Nice video really helpful. But I have a question, I have two iPhone 5s one is 64gb and another 16gb. So if I change the logic board of the iPhone with 16 gb and put it into the housing of the one with 64gb will my storage change to 16 gb or will remain 64 gb

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes whatever the logic board had is what the phone you put it into will be.

[@torrendavis2736]

Does a 5s replacement lcd/glass have same display as se. i have cracked se looking to repair my self

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes but make sure you buy one with an OEM LCD. The after market screens may not work with the SE.

[@yoongonsong9679]

we only need to change the home button and the motherboard is it right?

[@dannygreene8316]

Thanks for the awesome video. I have a diagnosis question. I have an iPhone 5s. I fixed the the broken screen once. That screen end up coming detected again. I turned off the iPhone to repair it again (glue the glass down with the 3M tape). Following the repair it would not turn on again. I did all of the "menu and power button" start up test and nothing happen. So, I plugged it to my Mac the phone gets hot, and it recognize it but it ask me to,"to allow access, please respond on your iPhone". to add, "iTunes and Photos" on to recognize the iPhone. Can you me what do i need to repair it? or where can I get it repaired?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Have you tried a different screen? If you refurbished a broken screen my first thought would be that the problem is somewhere in the display.

[@dannygreene8316]

I was thinking that could be the case, Thank you, I will give that a shot!

[@vanessarovira8269]

I have a two Iphones 5S model A1453 and A1533. Can use parts or motherboard from both phones and refurbish one of them even if the model numbers are not the same but they are both Iphone 5S

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes but they will be different when it comes to network capability. You can see the differences here:www.techwalls.com/iphone-5s-a1533-a1453-a1457-a1530-differences/ And of course keep the home buttons and boards together as they are not interchangable.

[@vanessarovira8269]

thanx your video was so helpful

[@vanessarovira8269]

ok so if i move the board to a different housing I have to always move the home button because of the fingerprint scanner

[@manolisangelakis1173]

Question: I have an 5s which I cannot restore with several errors. it is clear that the problem is with the board. I plane to by a board and replace it. My questions is: are there any compatibility issues I need to consider when buying a new board? thank you in advance

[@melvincan7761]

nice video, im gonna use this in a couple of days for my ip5s board replacement, PS. you used nokia 1020 for the video? haha i also have that phone

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Thanks. Yeah great phone. I may buy another soon. The last update killed my camera.

[@krissfly]

Hi. Thanks for the great videos :-) where do you get quality batteries and LCD assemblies for iPhones? Thanks

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

At the moment iFixit seems to have some of the best batteries. Pricey but you will get what you pay for. You might also try Injured Gadgets and Royalty Parts. As far as screens go the companies that I mentioned might be good places to try also. We have a guy who comes to our stores and does the refurbishing himself. That's the best option that I know of next to doing your own which is a big step to take of course. When buying online there are so many companies that start out good and later send garbage. They call this "quality fade" and it's a real problem for a lot of people which is why I am always hesitant to make these kinds of recommendations.

[@mouhamedmrabti5436]

My mother bored works fine but I forgot my iCloud account and I forget my number but my iphone is open and I can use it but I just want to know if i put my mother bored in other iphone it will open in the menu or it will ask for my icloud please tell me I need your help

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

The iCloud stays with your board so no matter where you install it you need the credentials.

[@a4senal101]

So will this work exactly like the smashed phone? All the settings, apps and storage will remain the same?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes assuming that the internal parts were not damaged.

[@whydotheathensrage]

Operation! zzzzzappp! thanks for the video, im gonna try this on my wife's new XR, :)

[@GEEXX_GX]

my iphone 5s screen cracked and also it came off.. like the screen and ripped cables... and my phone is also bend would it be possible to repair that? i would like to send you pictures of my phone . for your thoughts if its still possible to repair

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

+GEEXX_ If the logic board is bent then it will probably not be worth repairing. You can remove the board and attach a working screen, battery, and power button cable to see if it will power up first but even then stress on small components due to the bend make future problems a significant risk.

[@asyhzmy8815]

How can I recover 5s memory from dead motherboard as I do not have any back up on icloud. Been searching for the memory recovering video but cant find any. Please help me.

[@dwrightproductions8281]

I have a silver iPhone 5s with a gold 128gb motherboard and a space gray screen😎

[@kisukeurahara67]

can i swap motherboard from J/A set iphone 5s to LL or LA set iphone 5s? will it have compatibility problems? please reply me sir im begging you

[@vanessarovira8269]

so if i change the board to a different housing. The IMEI on the back cover is not the same as the board I placed in it. Will this ever be a problem.

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

As far as the phone functioning no. It it were under warranty then that would be a problem. If you plan so sell it some people might not like that.

[@mccanncorp]

if i replace the logic board will it be like turning on a new iphone? and will it be a new ios operating system?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Whatever the board has on it stays there so it will be like turning on the phone that you took it from.

[@luisjacobo1882]

i have a 5s but the screen and LCD is damaged, so i bough another 5s in perfect condition but its icloud locked...so if i only swap the motjer board from my 5s to the locked phone will it work fine?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes but if you want touch ID to work you'll need to swap the home button too. Make sure to watch a screen replacement tutorial for that as damaging the attached flex cable will also cause permanent loss of that function.

[@rekhaupadhyay8412]

sir can you tell me is iphone 5 motherboard can be used with iphone 5s housing body please tell me faster as u can

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

I don't think so.

[@nephtaliceballos6893]

Hi, is possible change the logic board from a 5s Gold to 5s gray?, no problem?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes but you have to make sure that the home button flex transfers too or else no more touch ID.

[@nephtaliceballos6893]

Well , with your tutorial i can make sure of that?

[@angeloacosta5204]

Can I replace my 6s logic board with my 5s logic board? Will it be compatible?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Not at all. 5, 5S, 6, 6S... all different.

[@fritz312]

My iphone 5s does not turning on at all after i press the home and lock button at the same it still doesn't work.Do you think it have something to eo with the motherboard?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Possibly but there are so many different things that can cause this that I'd be taking a wild guess without examining the phone or having more information. Does it show up on a computer when you plug it in? If not then it probably isn't booting up and could be a bad charge port, battery, charging IC, or something else.

[@SK-df5gd]

i have a broken working iphone 5s and an icloud one, can i do what you did to get the icloud one work ?

[@MCP1BEME]

is there any way that I could move the IMEI number from the old logic board to the new Logic board so if I swap Logic boards the IMEI will match the one that is on the back of the phone?????

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

There is no practical way to move an IMEI from one iPhone to another. Not impossible but some serious board level component transfers.

[@sureshaagree454]

Hello sir I have a two iphone 5s one is 16gb in unlock condition and second is 32gb icloud lock so can I replace 5s 16gb unlock motherboard on 5s32gb is it work on 32gb? can I replace it ? please sir reply me as soon as possible. thank you

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes. As long as they are both 5S all of the parts are compatible regardless of storage size.

[@sureshaagree454]

Thank you for your reply sir, and one more question if I can replace on white 5s is there any problem create sir?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

No problem. But you will want to keep the touch ID and logic board together. Otherwise you will lose the fingerprint scanner function. In fact I'm glad that you asked because even if you just swap the board you should swap the touch ID also.

[@sureshaagree454]

Hello sir as you say I can replace unlock iphone 5s16gb motherboard on lock 32gb iphone 5s but it does'nt open, only show logo of apple. so how can is it solve this problem, please tell me sir as you can. thank you.

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Have you confirmed that it was working before you switched to another housing? If so it could be a bad component plugged in like the front camera, power button flex cable etc. Beyond that it might me a software issue. Can you restore it or trying to preserve data that's stored on the new one?

[@sayahwilson7978]

Can you put an iphone 4 logic board in an iphone 5s

[@kayedomingo8672]

Sir i would like to ask please help could a iphone 5 motherboard fits iphone5s?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

No with Apple there is almost never come compatibility between models.

[@joshpadua2564]

would this work for an iPhone5, no touch ID?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you swap a board from one iPhone 5 to another? Yes. Will you have touch ID? No. Can you put a 5 board in a 5S? No.

[@joshpadua2564]

thanks, sorry for the confusion. but you answered my Q

[@dexietyy7922]

Will this stop Touch ID from working

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Not if you transfer the home button flex cable with the board. Always keep those together.

[@wo4030]

did it turn on?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

Yes. I didn't think to record that but it worked fine and still fits inside Otter Box style cases for the 5S.

[@billcivicsff6808]

What component deals with passwords ?

[@GoCellPhoneRepair]

I would assume the nand and/or CPU.
