Duncy H Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Right My lock button and flash broke on my iphone 5 but I didn't have time to get it replaced. I then managed to drop and smash the screen after and now they'll only replace it if I give them £209 quid! Anybody had experience with fiddling with iPhones themselves? I fancy the idea of puttin a new screen on and top button myself if it isn't too hard a job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Easy enough with a decent tutorial. Get involved with replacebase.co.uk - they're a client of mine and bloody good at what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 On my 4s there was a bloody good tutorial on youtube showing you EVERY step. Easy enough if you take your time. I heard the 5 is more difficult though. My only gripe was the cheap screen I bought. The contrast was terrible compared to a genuine one (you get used to it I suppose) and the tools supplied were nasty - they were too big to even fit in the screws etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 if you have experience with electronics fixing and you would be happy to fix it then you should consider it what experience do you have about fixing stuff? you should consider, that you might make it far more worst, and it would be cheaper to fix it for £200 (speaking by experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I use this site a lot. http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_5 Youtube is always a good place to look as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
