IPhone 5s Screen Replacement

Step by step instructional video, showing you how to replace the screen/digitizer, and how to put it all back together again.
The iPhone 5s screen is a complete screen assembly which means that you cannot replace just the LCD or the digitizer. The screen and digitizer are fused together at the factory and cannot be separated. Don't buy of Ebay sellers who claim otherwise.

I followed your instructions. My daughters iphone 5s is working once again. She is all smiles from ear to ear with a hint of a happy tear in her eye. You sir, are awesome. Thank you!

[@igorlipckakivskyi2107]

Good job dud

[@sugarman6354]

ATTENTION! The screws for the protective panel of the LCD flex cables MUST be of specific length. Otherwise, if you mix them up you can damage the traces on the pcb causing "the blue screen" boot loop. You can print a layout of your phone to keep track of what goes where. There is a video called "Classic 5s long screw damage trace repair to solve blue screen of death" by iPad Rehab with more info.

[@flyguydsgn1955]

I just replaced it myself , saved 50$ . Thanks , owe you one ;)

[@RohitKumar-im3zo]

Is ur display original or duplicate

[@RohitKumar-im3zo]

And how its performance

[@flyguydsgn1955]

@@RohitKumar-im3zo bro i swapped that display almost 4 years ago lol . it was a non original one and it worked pretty shitty. get a original one

[@ash790225]

Thanks for this video. After spending quite a bit of money on getting the screen replaced a few times (my toddlers have a thing about throwing the phone around) I finally fixed it myself, with your help.

[@imababybrand966]

Thank you a million times over!! My daughter dropped her iPhone (uses like an iPod) and shattered her screen. We didn't want to pay $125 to fix it. We had another old iPhone 5s laying around that was dead. So, I took the dead iPhone screen and swapped it with the shattered screen. All this for only a $5 tool kit and the help from your amazing video!! I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge in this video. Have a great night!

[@lutonbusdriver2315]

Excellent tuition video. Takes time and patience but persevere and you can do it. As a previous comment noted, there is no need to remove the larger square shaped label from the back of the metal plate if you're using the plate again. Once you remove the camera the plate comes away with the silver plate attached. You just attach the silver plate to the new screen and reattach the camera. Thank you for uploading this very helpful video. No way could have completed this without it.

[@Cristina-el6dw]

Thank you so much! This is the second time I use your tutorial. Once when I was given a phone with a cracked screen; and the second time, when I cracked it. Your instructions are clear and very helpful. I'm not naturally gifted nor inclined to do mechanical stuff, but with your step-by-step process, I was able to successfully change the screen. You are a great instructor!

[@rb1093]

Just to say you dont need to take the black tape off the back of the metal oull the camrea unit out then un screw the metal plate it will come away as one

[@kaaahtie]

Thanks so much, was doubting if I could do this myself but managed fine and now my phone looks brand new! Will defo be recommending this tutorial to friends and I'll post a link under the reviews of the tool kit I bought online!

[@hiwasupful]

Where did you buy a new screen??

[@rickeyjustice7119]

katie hoy you’re nice 😍

[@ThurstanHethorn]

Thanks for the video. There were two points that I suggest: 1. 4:00 Using a blade is unnecessary to remove the button, just gently press the button from the front 2. 5:00 The Tape/shielding can be kept attached to the metal backing and transferred in one piece Thanks again. I was able to see a part orientation I wasn't sure of.

[@kantima7395]

Best tutorial on youtube. Thanks for the video. Just save my 150$ 💞

[@cwmoore1265]

Thanks for the instructional video. Very detailed and step by step. I just replaced my sons iphone 5 screen following your video and was able to do it with out fail. It was à little bit of a pain in the butt because everthing is so small and i was scared i was going to mess something up but like you said take your time and be patient. Thanks again

[@AbhiTek_]

Being a KZbin tutorial creator, I know how appreciated good feedback can be. On this basis, I would like to thank you properly. I recently dropped my iPhone 5S and was eager to repair it myself, instead of paying someone else to do it. I followed your tutorial step by step to ensure that I was carrying out all of the procedures correctly and it worked. Your instructions were clear and the review was very well done. You should be very proud of this video and confident that anyone who follows it will succeed, as long as they are careful and patient. Sherwin :)

[@a.melchizedekroberts5589]

Very informative tutorial Andrew, as soon as I have replaced my cracked screen I will return here to testify of that experience.

[@Preman68]

Thanks a lot! Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. Saved me a small fortune in paying someone else to do it.

[@eizzle78]

Thank you for a great instructional video. I just repaired my daughter's phone using your video as a guide.

[@rob9980]

Thank you, works fine! one thing i did different though is not remove the black tape on the metal plate. i just left it attached and put it on the new one but thanks again, you helped a lot

[@JustAnotherSteve]

Great video. Worked for me, only took 3 hours... I spent most of that time wrestling with the speaker/camera assembly to get it to fit into the new screen properly. In the end I went with "close enough" but everything works. Even the light sensor. Not bad for a £10 ebay job.

[@Gitesson]

Did you notice that there is a "tube" (approx. 3mm high and 7mm diameter) made of transparent plastic which holds (or centres) camera module in place. New front panel does not have this - at least the one I bought. Have you moved this part into new front panel before putting all things together again?

[@jonathonroach3547]

Excellent video, I repaired my phone while watching it.

[@preciouskeepsakes6520]

Great video! Also, thanks for mentioning the part about the bracket screws being different lengths. it really matter as you can fry your logic board if you don't put them in the correct spots! Thanks.

[@phillcrean2300]

Fabulous Video, Very disruptive, clear and well narrated, Thank you :)

[@JAYRAY00]

True, you can not replace the digitizer on an iPhone (Gen4 and up), but you can replace the front glass, which is not the digitizer. I don't know if that's what you're talking about regarding eBay sellers. Ebay sellers throw in any words into item titles, like LCD, Digitizer, when simply selling the front glass panel. Also many people assign the word digitizer to the wrong part.

[@andymantoronto]

Thank you for posting this video, your step by step instructions were very helpful.

[@HansMilling]

Great video. My daughters phone now works again after vertical stripes and almost no touch response. Some small rubber things fell out and the small metal clip on the right screw of the touch button. A close up of these things would have been nice, to see how to position them. Also the camera on this phone is very loos, and does not fit into anything I guess something is missing to hold it in place.

[@bruceclemens254]

the lcd/digitizer assembly I bought did *not* have the plastic camera alignment shroud, or the alignment shroud for the small behind-the-panel sensor. is this normal? I carefully removed the shrouds from the old assembly (they're very fragile). I affixed them to the new assembly with some of the double-sided tape. not very secure - but it was the best I could do in a pinch. great vid! helped immensely.

[@Paranoid_jj]

Thank you for posting this video! I found it very helpful, and it was the only thing I needed to use to fix my screen!

[@JagathRanaweera86]

Thanx alot man... perfect.. I just replaced my screen thnx to you.. cherrrssss...

[@GrayWolf448]

thanks for the video, just finished repairing mine. fell off my desk onto carpet (glass down) and looks like it took an impact on the center of the screen. funny that it broke from that as i have had much worse falls onto concrete/stone/tile.

[@jamiegroeber8603]

Thanks I found all I needed was to reconnect one of the three cables at the top This video was first one I found that address the small finger print cable Thanks

[@madboyokc]

You saved my friend an easy $75/$100 thank you Sir!

[@K-stacksC7]

my new screen won't respond to touch and the phone has faded lines on the screen at the lock screen can't get any further from that point because of the touch problem

[@lilliebenson9425]

We did everything you said but the screen shows my cover but it won't let me swipe across and touch the screen what could we if done wrong ?

[@PRETTYGIRL_AYLA.]

Me too

[@heavenaniyah4808]

This was great! Thank you, I have so much confidence now. 🙂

[@veronica33s45]

Thank you sir this was the first time i ever done something like this and i made it☺️ you saved me 100$

[@sloopycat1954]

Can the screen ribbon flex cables with the 2 or 3 brass pin connectors on them be fixed if 1 snaps off please. Also does colour part on top as well as the non colour part at the bottom of home, do both of these home button parts need to be swapped over to the original screen for the Touch ID function to to work because my old original 1 is white and my new home button is black, I'm hoping I don't have to have a black screen with a white home button. Excellent video thankyou.

[@katerascales6045]

what screw driver did he use when taking the home button apart

[@allen53943]

Andrew, thank you. My phone now works.

[@j.a.madmaxent9623]

I used my fingers for most of the parts except from here you unscrew things but it turned out perfectly well.

[@Ru4xu2]

the right side of the screen is dimmer than the left not sure what I did wrong

[@PopGoesTheWeasel77]

Just put mine back together and the top part of the screen doesn't want to click in like the rest. Tried resetting it in a few times now, any tips?

[@lokkkuhnuhbnjjbnj]

Is there adhesive strips to keep the screen sealed?

[@vincenzocolatorti9108]

followed this guide to replace my screen everything went well until the test lit up fine then touch wouldn't work :/ luckily I found a way to connect my home button and turning it off, but how do i know if my touch is completely messed up or not is it worth trying again or is the iphone a goner

[@faroukjlassi234]

fixed ?

[@vincenzocolatorti9108]

yes, I managed to connect the home button while the phone was on and did a hard reset. ended up the digitizer cables were loose. Connected them nice and tight and worked like a charm, this guide actually helped a ton!

[@michaelshefter7360]

what is the orientation supposed to be for the home button data cable contact screw down???

[@2021beast]

Hey I did everything in the video. Everything turned on but when I tried typing it would add letters that I didn't press. When I scroll up or down it goes back up. Do you think it's a faulty screen or I did something wrong

[@tracyrathmill5326]

Good video, very well explained an easy to follow. I did everything to the letter, went to turn on an nothing!!! anyone got any advice or clues? Tracy

[@hamdanhamdan4448]

Mayb3 the battery

[@chestercmorante]

I am currently following it now, but I can’t remove the screw of the metal plate. I need your help 😞😢

Is the phone company important for the whole repair kit including the screen, such as Verizon, AT&T, etc

[@KR4KENDubz]

No

This video was very helpfull for me. My Iphone 5s works very vell after changing the screen.

[@xenvienx7286]

I dropped my iPhone 5s about 25 feet and the screen came out, thank god nothing other than the screen were damaged and it can be fixed with a screen repair

[@AntonVAs]

Hello, I replaced my iphone 5s screen and afterwards the phone would not turn on. I checked all the connections but no obvious problems.. Any advice? Thank you, Anton van As

[@alvomano9662]

is it advisable to disconnect the battery before reconnecting everything?

[@andrewmcneil]

Yes

[@bhoopalani7256]

As said in last msg, I lost one of the screws that you unscrew at 2:48. I've now found it but totally confused where each goes. Does it really matter?

[@Nineteen92Media]

i now have an issue which i hope you or someone else can help with. I cracked my screen and was replacing it with a new one but the new one didnt work it would just show an illuminated black screen and i couldn't turn it off or anything. So whilst the phone was still on i changed it back to the old screen but once the old screen was connected it wouldnt show anything, not even lighting up? itunes recognises the phone and when its charging it 'bongs' every six seconds. Any ideas what the issue could be?

[@Stephen1455]

Hello, I have done a couple of youtube video fixes, electric toothbrush rechargeable battery replacement. iPod old battery replacement, but this one looks very intimidating!!!! I nervous!!!!!!! Will order the kit where???

[@saucy254]

hey. so u followed your video and everything was going well, until I turned it back on and now I have a double line down the middle of the screen? is this something I have done or possibly a faulty screen? Cheers

[@danhaas]

The middle ribbon connector is probably not seated

[@yashjain2618]

my touch is completely not working and i have line on the bottom of the screen which is always fluctuating by showing some part of topmost screen.....what all parts should i buy to eradicate my iphone problems?..... PLEASE HELP

[@emm5640]

the screw on the back off the home button isnt unscrewing

[@elyarsamadi]

I have 2 iPhone 5s, one has cracked bad screen and the other one has a problem with wifi connection, do you guys know if the wifi modem is on the screen or on the motherboard? Because I want to swipe the screens (not only the led) because its easier this way. Do you guys know if it would work that way?

[@marieboran3585]

Thank you so much. This worked perfectly!

[@I-am-SaltyPeanut]

Strange that you unstuck the cables from the thermal shielding only to go and stick it back in the same place, its only my opinion but maybe you could leave it alone.

[@dpf034]

Sarcasm does not help in these feeds. Stop wasting your your time and everyone reading these comments time.

[@JAYRAY00]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[@eunicejackson8607]

do i absolute need the inside metal back plate? because i do not have one to use at the moment

[@stonemirror]

+Eunice Jackson Yes, you definitely do: that's a thermal shield that dissipates the heat that the LCD produces. Not having one will eventually damage the circuitry irreparably.

[@chaunceypope5492]

Thanks for the indepth full tutorial I was able to learn the new tech and fix a phone. American kids sound like they are asking questions or took to much or didnt take enough ADHD meds.

[@MuhammedhilmigulluBlogspot]

well at the beginning my touch screen didnt work and there were lines on the screen. now my touch screen doesnt work, there are lines on the screen and wait more? my home button also doesnt work. where was i wrong

[@latinvanity]

+muhammedmuhiddin Wow! I have the same problem with my phone! something happened to it and one side of the screen (right side) doesn't work. It then fell and a little part broke and the lines went all the way to the middle, now the whole right side of my phone is no longer accessible. After changing your screen, it didnt work? Did u try taking it somewhere to see what was the issue to begin with? I also think it is the screen, but if you changed screens and it still doesn't work then maybe it is something else?? COuld it be the battery is not good?

[@MuhammedhilmigulluBlogspot]

no the problem is screen. i should replace the screen. home button is my fault. i couldnt connect it correctly. so i ll no longer try to repare it by my own. time to pay some...
