iPhone 4 - Replacing the screen and back cover

So, I have this iPhone 4 and the screen and back cover are completely smashed and the frame is slightly bent also.

I quickly realize however that the phone is still functioning, as it is getting alerts for new text messages and emails.  After watching a couple of YouTube videos - I discover that replacing the back cover is going to be easy.  The screen is an entirely different matter however.  To replace the screen, you have to open the back cover, and take absolutely everything out of the iPhone.

I mean everything.  The battery, the motherboard, the speaker and antennas, the camera.  You name it, it's got to come out.  So I remove 2 screws from the bottom of the iPhone, carefully remove the shattered back cover and this is what I see;


Not wishing to bore you with every single minute detail, I eventually get everything out, and try my best to label and not lose any of the very many absolutely tiny screws that have to come out to release the internal components.  Once complete, this is where I am at;


In the meantime, I have ordered (at surprisingly reasonable prices) a new LCD screen and digitizer, and a new back cover for the phone.  Once they arrive, that's when I really run into trouble.

Tune in again soon for the next exciting installment!

  3. I like you post its so interesting I also tell you something When you own an Apple iPhone, it will be necessary to occasionally get various updates for it. These updates include apps that you have downloaded to your phone, as well as iTunes software. Each time Apple releases a new version of iOS, its mobile operating system, you have the opportunity to get the software update so that you can add it to your iPhone. This is completely optional, and you can choose to stick with your current iOS version if you prefer it

  5. Nice I also share with you something hope this helpful for you Each year, millions of consumers purchase one generation of the iPhone or another. The smartphone costs $200 to $300 with a contract and over $500 without one. At such a steep price, consumers need to protect their device. Perhaps the most common damage inflicted upon an iPhone involves a scratched screen. Fixing this issue requires a little effort and money, but a successful repair is possible. Most iPhone users choose to replace their screens instead of repairing them. To perform a fix, various sealants and fillers can be used on the glass. These solutions often prove uneven and highly noticeable afterward. A simple screen replacement completely removes the scratch and costs relatively little money. When it comes to keeping the iPhone in pristine condition, nothing beats this solution. Check it out thanks.
