If I was able to replace the screen on my 3G from your videos a few years ago, do you think I will be able to complete this on my 4? I am nervous because there are so many more parts and screws... Also when I replaced my screen on my 3G one time when I powered the phone back on there was a blank white screen. Do you know what I did wrong to make the screen go white? Thanks!

[pdaparts]

@plkieffer Yes you should be able to do the screen on the 4 just keep track of the screws. The white screen on the 3G means that one of the 3 cables did not get installed all the way to make a connection.

So simple but ran into two small problems (my fault) I didn't feed the ribbons for the screen all the way through and i didn't connect the antenna properly so i had no service when turned on but in the end was successful.

[Kimberlyygeee]

so easy :)

[Kenbaboy80]

how do you keep track on what screws going in what hole?o.O

[pdaparts]

@Kenbaboy80 We are working on a free download .pdf that will help with the screw locations. Should be done in a few days.

[mtlpimpin]

thank my friend

[nikmagnus]

This is a great, clear tutorial. Thank you so much.

I looked at a couple of other ones before trusting this re-assembly video tutorial.

My smashed screen left some splinters which I had to remove. There was a little rubber bar which fell out but re-seated on the L-shape of the mother board where the two screen ribbons fold over. I also had a dust screen which I removed. Thank you, thank you thank you for your guidance. MUCH APPRECIATED!

[lonelygoner2012]

thanks. this will help me a lot

[mriverson]

Great tutorial man.

[pdaparts]

@mriverson Thank you.

[dennisleslie]

You forgot the last step. Put the sim card and tray back in... lol but great tutorial!

[pdaparts]

@dennisleslie We assumed those were obvious steps ;)

[Nicholaeszander96]

Good tut! But i got a question: On the back of my (and your) new LCD, glass and digitizer, there is this blue plastic cover. I see you reassembled your iPhone with the plastic cover on. I thought this was to protect from any fingerprints, dust etc, and that you were to take it off?

As the old LCD did not have the same blue cover on, i thought you were supposed to take the plastic off. Why didn't you? Perhaps it doesn't matter, but would someone mind explaining?

thank you :)

[pdaparts]

@Nicholaeszander96 The blue plastic on the back can be removed before install. It is just on there to keep scratches and dust off during shipping.

[Nicholaeszander96]

@pdaparts Ty! :)

[klavistata]

@pdaparts So should you remove the blue cover or should you not?

[pdaparts]

@klavistata Yes remove it.

[1kaya8]

Thank you so much!

[pdaparts]

@1kaya8 No problem. Thank you.

[jameslong4444]

thanks i just fixed my iphone!



[pdaparts]

@jameslong4444 No problem and thanks for the post.

[rossfoundry]

Thanks for the fantastic guide - just replaced my screen and saved a ton!

[kALOSIKIC]

how fast you can reassemble it? when iPhone4s were produced It must have taken very long, because every piece have to reassemble by man, NOT robot! and That 's why it costs loads of money

[haltergeist]

Big thank you for the instructions. It took me some time to complete (I realised that the screen ribbon didn't go through all the way so had to start from scratch, then realised I mounted the MoBo incorrectly and started all over again), but it worked a charm.

[jdkorecky]

Do the replacement screens have the retina resolution?

[pdaparts]

@jdkorecky Yes

[JohnFallas2011]

Thank you for your instructions, it gave me confidence to do it myself. I forgot to remove the blue plastic protection matthewcarter153 mentioned. Hope it won´t melt or something. I´m not going to tear it down again. Plus I ended up with a little part and a screw. No clue where to put it. Everything works though. Thanks again!!

[walloo2000]

thank you

^_^

[imedia00]

Thankyou, very good instructions. Gracias por las instrucciones,

very easy with your help

[pdaparts]

@imedia00 ningún problema

[MyKID75]

Thankyou, very good instructions. Just finished putting mine back together with this and it's all good!!! 

[pdaparts]

@MyKID75 Thank you for the feedback.

[soniaashby1]

Thank you so much, I ordered and replaced my screen for a fraction of the cost. Knowledge is power thanks for sharing.

[pdaparts]

@soniaashby1 No problem and thank you for posting.

[matthewcarter153]

aren't you supposed to remove the blue shield from the front screen?

[pdaparts]

@matthewcarter153 If you are referring to the shipping plastic that come with it yes. But they do not always ship with a blue one and sometimes none at all. This is why we do not reference it in the video.

[el24najera]

great viedeo tanxs alot

[candystrat1]

Thanks a lot for this great vid, saved me loads of money and im back to having a great new looking I Phone again!

[dissentiment]

I had someone else replace my LCD and the home button isn't sitting the way it's supposed to be - if you look at the phone from the side, the home button is slanted downwards. Can I fix that myself or should I just leave it alone?

[pdaparts]

@dissentiment You might be able to fix that yourself. I do not know how technical you are so I can not answer that question 100% correctly. If you had someone fix it for you and they did not do it correctly I would go back to them and have them correct it.

[dissentiment]

@pdaparts Thank you for answering my question. I might be able to do it on my own; if not, my husband has way more experience dealing with electronics. How much disassembly would be required? Thanks again.

[CorpCartelEscobar]

All I can say is thank god for videos like this as my iPhone is too expensive and God doesn't like to answer lottery prayers.

[playhouserage]

Will any data be lose in the replacement?

[pdaparts]

@playhouserage We have not seen any issues with loosing your data.

[akapoop06]

i did all of this and my screen was good for a while but now its all gray and glitchy. Whats up with it?

[pdaparts]

@akapoop06 If you purchased the screen from us please contact us directly via the webpage with an order number and we can look into this for you. We do have a warranty on all our parts. If you did not order from us I suggest checking the cables to make sure they are all connected or you got a less superior part from someone which is why we only carry top quality parts.

[ducezFULL]

are you suppose to leave the blue stuff on the back!?  I took mine off so it was silver like the original.

[pdaparts]

@ducezFULL I think you are referring to the clear plastic we have on the screen during shipping? If that is correct then yes pull it off. We want to make sure you get the screen in perfect condition. Thanks for the post DirectFix-com

[straighttwizurpt]

great video! thank you so much!

[pdaparts]

@straighttwizurpt Thanks for the post we appreciate it.

[aeliusmax]

AWESOME VIDEO !!!.. thanks , I followed your instructions step by step , my phone looks brand new again !! and is 100% functional !! ...

[joepac2500]

y would u want to change the screen??

[pdaparts]

@joepac2500 If you break your screen you can replace it yourself and save money.

[jampaalb]

If the LED still works and I only want to replace the glass, can i get a new glass with digitizer and attach it to the old led screen?

[pdaparts]

@jampaalb On the iPhone 4 You can not just repair the Touch Panel and You can not repair just the LCD. You have to replace the complete screen as one unit. Take a look at our blog for more details on this and the ebay scam of people selling just the touch panel or just the LCD for the iPhone 4. DirectFix com/blog

[TheCharityGamerz]

@jampaalb not LED its LCD

[mikeander18]

Great job. Thanks!

[TheZetReviewer]

thanks for the video! :)
