Offical iPhone 5s Screen / LCD Replacement Video & Instructions - iCracked.com

[@katimcbride8141]

There were a few times I almost bailed... this was amazing. Your explanations were clear and concise. I appreciate the 45 minutes you put into this!!! Thank you for being so thorough. By far the best video I was able to find.

[@tomfahlberg]

Me too. It was nice to see that the guy doing the video had to work pretty hard at a couple points as well. Gave me the mojo to power through. Thanks iCracked!

[@jeffreyosborne6747]

The videos here are unquestionable the best on the web. A trick I learned for holding the screen up vertically when attaching the connectors etc. is to attach the screen to a can of baked beans (or something) with an elastic band. Also when attaching the home button, I just use a tooth pick to hold the screen ajar while I connect. then you have beans on toast afterwards as a reward :)

[@csabi72]

why would anyone give this video a thumb down?? it is straight forward simple explanation , good all around.

[@dougiequick1]

I would give it a thumbs down because it is "icracked" where I simply went to see what they charged but they make you schedule a repair to even TELL YOU ...and I saw no feedback to complain ....so here is a place to lash back ...right or wrong it is my privlege ...maybe they will listen...I HATE businesses that don't put the PRICE! WHY the big mystery?????

[@demonaicunicorn]

This video saved me $100.00's on a new iPhone.

[@nonsensze]

except its 45 mins long

[@plumkey197]

@@nonsensze I just sped it up. This video has better angles and much more detail than most of the others, because one slip-up can render your phone useless. A lot of thought went into this video

[@MahirsPhoneZone]

i am just 14 and happy to say these videos have helped me gain confidence and i have jst finished fixing my 3rd phone screen and battery

[@finesexymama]

Fixed mine with only one problem && that was with unscrewing the home button screws. Everything else went smoothly! Thanks so much!

[@Deemurphy7]

ICracked, this video was by far the best out there, there was no skipping over the finicky stuff like the LCD sensor and the sort, I liked the little tip about moving the screen to the side to remove the home button connection especially. I just replaced the screen myself now for 20euro rather than 80euro in a shop! Thanks a million!

[@ccBERA93]

thanks so much for this video! was able to fix my screen for a lot less money than expected!!! :)

[@FerranBellavista]

iCracked! Hey man! I can't describe how grateful I am with you right now. I just did it on my wife's iphone 5s and it works!!!! I've changed the screen like you do in your video and also I've changed the battery. Man, you really rock! Thank you thank you very much for this amazing video.

[@yurannycabral9221]

Thanks a lot for the video! I replaced the screen without any problem and everything works perfectly :)

[@tjlyons4186]

I do not usually leave comments, but I have to thank you for putting this video together. You are awesome! Thanks!

[@steelersfan209945]

This guy seriously knows what he's talking about.

[@Joobs9]

More like they are trying to get you to buy more stuff.

[@steelersfan209945]

***** the point to any business is to sell stuff. This guy is giving you the tools you need to fix whatever is wrong with your phone. He could just tell you to send your phone in and charge you double, but he's not.

[@vitalod15]

[@NowitzkiforPrez]

GREAT video - just what you want, step by step, informative. Even the guy's voice is calming when dealing with these pain in the ass cables. Never paying a shop again to fix one of these.

[@trondschjlberg3322]

Thank you, a very useful demonstration, especially all those small details that otherwise ruin the whole job, like the small hinge and the vib. motor......

[@quakerwildcat]

I sampled a lot of videos before attempting this and this one was by far the most careful, thorough and clear. I followed along step by step and somehow remarkably refurbished my daughter's crushed iPhone. Well done.

[@George-zb4ps]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ! AFTER SHAKING HANDS AND SWEATY PALMS, I FIXED MY PHONE WHILST WATCHING THIS VIDEO !!!!!!!!!

[@Turbosdo]

Wish me luck

[@JanuszMe]

The first time I opened my iPhone and I was able to successfully follow all of your steps. Extremely clear and useful, thank you!

[@williamkimball3782]

icracked, I just successfully finished the repair of my daughters iphone 5s!! The instructions provided were very thorough and accurate, I highly recommend the icracked repair kit and video. THANKS!!!!!

[@VenetianSorcerer]

Finally !!!!! A perfect and detailed instructional video. This is my 3rd one. The first 2 despite having lots of views sucked. Totally inaccurate, sloppy and or out of focus on the small parts that matter. THANK YOU. Worked like a charm.

[@Mrsahel82]

Very nice instruction and very detailed video . Thumb up

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

I have changed a lot of iP4,4S,5,5C screens but no 5S screens yet and this is one of the most thorough videos I have ever seen, great job Bro.

[@liljofftheknock1]

This video saved me a lot of money!

[@martyplecki7567]

This is a great video. It not only shows step by step how to do the repair, it also gives the names of the small components, explains what they do and what you need to do to avoid damaging anything. I watched this one and a couple of other videos about replacing just the cracked glass, before ordering a replacement screen. This helped me decide to order the glass with the digitizer already assembled. Then I watched it as I did the repair and stopped it at each step. My repair took less than an hour to do and everything turned out well. I am pretty handy and I was scrupulous about keeping track of the screws and other parts as they came off.

[@cdblackburn79]

Repair was a breeze, the only issue was with the suction cup. I used a command strip and one of those small hooks instead, worked perfectly!

[@bub356]

Absolutely fantastic, finally fixed my girlfriend's iPhone 5S and everything is working fantastic. Thought I'd mess up, but this video was super helpful! Thank you so much!

[@emmittkinch920]

Having a lot of trouble removing screws. Any ideas or help I can get would be great.

[@Icracked]

Emmitt Kinch We are sorry to hear that you are having this issue with your repair. Please try taking a very small square of duct tape and placing it sticky side down over the screw head. Then use your screwdriver to push through the duct tape and try to remove the screw again. The duct tape should act as a filler that expands into the void of the stripped screw head and the tape's adhesive also helps grip the sides. If this does not work, you can also purchase a screw extraction kit from our online store (shop.icracked.com/collections/tools/products/6-piece-screw-extractor-kit).

[@iMoca]

Emmitt Kinch buy the kit it comes with magnetic screws

[@lucasswierc3266]

Filmy

[@ronaldojele9223]

Still believe these is the best guide out there , great video . Honestly made the whole experience seem so easy .

[@ricker]

Thank u so much for posting this video. It was perfect for helping me fix an iPhone 5s

[@Lost_Chief]

Followed video step by step. Broken iphone is now fixed. no steps areleft out. Best "how to" I've ever watched.

[@AngelaFields]

THANK U SO MUCH THIS IS THE BEST

I cant get my side screws on the metal plate to come out. I tried the duct tape but that didn't work

[@javadoesit]

You're a GD genius. You should've gone to medical school. This is hands down the BEST phone screen replacement video on KZbin. I followed along and replaced my daughters screen perfectly on the FIRST TRY. I love that you know thw names of all the compnents and spell it out for us. You are a SAINT sir. Thank you!!!!!

[@97336cf]

ATTENTION: it is important that, when you replace your screen, you make absolutely sure every screw goes back to where it came from; reason being, some screws, even the ones holding down the same panel, are different lengths, ranging from 1.3-1.5 MM. If you mix them up and put a 1.5 where a 1.3 mm screw should be, it will actually damage a micron(?) or other hardware underneath, rendering the phone useless. BE CAREFUL

[@screenprotectorfactory]

[@frankbufframirez]

I think this might've just happened to me... I changed a 3rd screen and I had 1 screw wrong, I then swapped the srew but now it does not turn on :( hahahaha FML

[@lkylky1730]

Your video saved me a ton of TROUBLE. May God bless you for being so kind and patient enough to do this video. I purchased the iFixit kit to help my lady fix her iPhone 5S, believing that their video would help. No! It didn't help at all because the lady that put it together was so full of herself. About 80% of her video was done showing off her smiling face like she was trying so hard to advertise herself in search of a date. I watched her for about a day and when I tried to replace the iPhone 5S battery, using her tutorials, I ended up damaging the phone. I viewed your video once and was convinced that you got the sound technical knowledge to lead in this arena. I never saw your face once. It was all about the fingers and the areas of the phone that you worked on - (in real time). You were so methodical and straight on point. You talked about any potential problem areas and how to avoid messing up things around such areas. It felt like you were an Apple Engineer who co-designed the phone. My phone is working really good now. And I am so confident now that I have even made money helping others with batt replacement. Thank You, Sir.

[@johnscogin438]

i lost my litle white ambient light filter that went next to the front facing camera is it important?

[@austinc4881]

+John Scogin I too have lost it, i'm assuming you repaired your phone, did not replacing it have any effect?

[@alexwalters74]

Me too. I sure hope its not that important. Please let me know

[@germanmiladelaroca9654]

guys, I'm having the same problem. I am assuming it didn't come with the light filter. BTW, let me know if you are having problems.

[@HK-of7ql]

if you lost it then your rear camera will be super blurry, so you better be more careful after this

[@HK-of7ql]

the lighting will be terrible

[@ab_c4429]

This video really helped. Some parts were easier than the others but the hardest was getting in some of the screw again. Patience is key

[@teroinefoma2963]

Holy shit replacing this was an absolute ordeal, #neveragain

[@andrewjones6404]

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST TUTORIAL ON THE NET OR THIS. YOU SAVED ME A SMALL FORTUNE.

*Types voice wrong 3 times in a row*

[@rcarlom42]

hey i know this video is old but its still very much relevant! Thanks for the side tips especially having a specific issue of the bottom part being a butt for not locking in place (which u solved by putting a flexible pry tool and giving a little movement to the metal chin of the phone). Thats the specific part that's so hard to look for when finding a guide for me. Finally able to revive my old phone. Thanks again!

[@ryannajensen4312]

I just finished and the amount of stress was unreal. everything works on my phone but seriously my heart rate is insane #paysomeonetofixit

[@kafkasios9326]

does this work if the screen i mean the touch screen doesnt work i touch it and just show black lines .Is this video works just for the glass or for the screen generally including the touch screen .i dont know if i made it good to understand my english are not good and my knowledge of iphone is limited .

[@ryannajensen4312]

+stavros karipidis this would work no madder how messed up your original screen is because in this video he demonstrates the entire screen being replaced. So even if your screen is unresponsive I believe this still would work. pro tip: unless you feel 100% comfortable doing this to your phone I recommend having it fixed by a professional just because it was super stressful and really easy to make a mistake. Hope this helps and good luck!

[@kafkasios9326]

thank you well i am just watching and rewatching the video until i will know for sure that what will i do .i will buy from the internet a new screen and i will try this.How does it cost a new one ihave seen about 40 euros is it ok ?Excuse me but i know nothing about technology i just started doing a research on forums and videos like this one so i can be smarter and of course save up some money.thank you for the response.

[@ryannajensen4312]

+stavros karipidis I got my screen on eBay for 28$ make sure you get the screen with the ribbing cables and not just the glass. Best of luck!! Also I don't know for Europe because I'm assuming that's where you're from, but at the mall there is always a store that fixes screens for around 100$ at least in the US

[@kafkasios9326]

Ryanna Jensen is this kind of screen i need to buy ? or this is just the glass ? tsigkounakia.gr/index.php?id_product=772&controller=product

[@kamibudge174]

This is the best video I found to show all the detail and every step to replace your iPhone 5S screen. The only issue I found with the small white ambient light sensor filter he shows transferring over is actually only found on black screens. If you have a white screen you will not have that. Hope that saves someone else the panic and googling when they are replacing a white screen.

[@IkeandMike1]

Wow the phone looks tiny in your hands. Are you a giant??

[@maniacse]

That phone is tiny...

[@steriospeaker]

Awesome job. Phone fixed and working perfect in under an hour. No hiccups. Many thanks indeed.

[@danielle6267]

this worked well with my dad's iPhone! I never thought someone like me who hasn't done any major repairs as delicate like this could make it work lol. your instructions was clear and full. thank you so much!

[@benjones43]

Saved my phone watching this, changed the battery while I had it apart. Only difficult part was getting the top assembly of camera lens, sensors and speaker in place to get the steel cover back on. Tip would be to lay parts out on double sided tape as you take them apart so it keeps screws with the right bits and screws that are size critical in the right place. Take your time and be methodical and it can be done.

[@russlees2589]

Thanks, changed my son's screen using your video. Clear and informative.

[@roystephens568]

Great video. I followed step by step and was able to replace my cracked screen with no issues. Thanks for the video!

[@lundertied9966]

Well, there are videos which show you how to do this in 5 minutes … and after 90 minutes you end up with an iPhone beyond repair. This one takes its time, but shows every catch and problem in close-up (and I mean really close close-ups, so you can determine every bracket’s alignment and stuff) - if you haven’t done things like this before (like me) you’ll be grateful (like me)! Thanks a lot, splendid tutorial!

[@MartinWibert]

Very good instructional video, I was able to repair my son's phone while I ran the video. I have only one suggestion to add. My kit came with a tool kit but it quickly became apparent that it was not complete. I suggest appending the start of the video with a layout of the needed tools.

[@michellevitale3521]

This help me a lot. A lot of video i watch but this one is truly a effective one. Godbless and continue teaching everyone who needs help. More power to you sir. Thank you. From Phil.

[@meghannnxoxo]

I was very nervous to replace my screen since the comments made it seem like everyone had a problem upon finishing so I took my time and followed this video very carefully and everything turned out great! thanks for all the little details to watch out for

[@angelinasims5492]

OMG thank you sooo much ! I dropped my phone, the screen shattered and the touch wouldn't work anymore. I really needed to get my phone fixed before my due date which is in 2 days so I can take pictures while in delivery. It took me forever only because I had trouble getting some of the screws loose. Other than that there were no issues following your step by step instructions !! My phone is like new again !

[@stewdawgg7721]

best video on how to replace the 5s screen. instead of paying over $170 just payed $40 for screen and now thanks to this video i saved so much money. phone works, all cables plugged into the right slots. 10/10 thankyou *****

[@cashmoney865]

I had literally no experience with the insides of iPhones, and I was even dealing with a slightly botched screen replacement done by a bad repair shop (they lost a couple screws and the plate that covers the home button flex connection, the little frame around the front facing cam, and my front cam & co component is disconnected from the temp plate) and now my phone works just fine as far as I can tell, unlike before when it was sometimes unresponsive to touch, or acted like I was touching it when I wasn't. Then a few weeks ago I dropped it on concrete and just barely made 4 cracks in the top right corner. A few hours later, LCD stripes were all over my phone, and the Back cam started not focusing about a week ago. Now all of these immediate problems have been solved and I am very happy and pleased.

[@kathymeidinger3741]

Excellent video - watched once before starting all the way through and once again as I was changing out the screen. Thanks iCracked!!!

[@Eri0724]

I got it! I replaced my iPhone 5S lcd screen just watching and following your video...great! THANKS

[@doogie64]

Just finished the replacement. Excellent instructions and a good run down of what to look out for when reconnecting cables. If you want a 10 minute video, you will surely get 10 minutes of top level stuff without the added details. I got everything but Touch ID to work. I finally decided to stop trying sealed everything back up. Thanks again!

[@lexconor8498]

Great detail that's missing in other tutorials. Thanks for being thorough.

[@mahechaleonardo]

thank you so much. your tutorial was clear, easy and very detail. As a bonus, I was able to repair the vibration mode that wasnt working since I bought. Congratulations and again Thanks!!!!!

[@andrewneedham578]

This is a great tutorial video. They definitely make it look easier and less frustrating than it actually is. I highly recommend the iSclack tool featured in this video. I attempted removing the screen on my wife's phone yesterday with just the suction cup and I ended up putting too much force into it and breaking the ribbon cable for the home button. Now I have to wait for the replacement button to arrive and even after I get the new button back in, the touch ID isn't going to work. Just be mindful that these components can (and will) break very easily.

[@andrewneedham578]

LOL you're a silly goose.

[@rebekahlogan7835]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I found plenty of videos and instructions for the removal of the screen and connections, but this one had both the removal AND the re-connection process! I loved how there were lots of explanations as to what everything was and how it worked and there were so many great troubleshooting steps and helpful tips along the way as well...Really, I cannot praise this video enough. Thank you, thank you!

[@marcginsburg7477]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a thorough, detailed video. I was able to fix my broken iPhone 5S screen with absolutely no problems. Aside from the hardware being incredibly small, your guidance made the process very easy. Thank you again!

[@DiscoNinjaBAP]

Thank you for the detailed video. It not only helps to know what to do, but also why each step needs to be done.

[@cheffjeffB]

Very very helpful. Well filmed to make those screws look reasonable sized when they, in fact, microscopic! One minor suggestion/request would be that you introduce the tools you are using and possibly offer alternatives for those of of who don't already have a splooge tools, etc. overall though, watching this video and pausing at each step I was able to work through the screen replacement without a single problem or error and with a fully functional phone at the end of my first attempt.

[@vincentfasano4603]

what a beautifully done piece - couldn't ask for better clarity; no steps omitted. Thank you!
