iPhone 4 Take Apart

[imanishay]

I had no confidence in doin this I wanted to get to home button connection took me about an hour it's not that hard but a tip when gettin a screw driver get a magnetic one mines a plastic one and with the screws been so small bit complicated gettin em back in

[TheFAdeZzArmy]

where do u get a screwdriver that small?

[sederholma]

now... how about you show me how to put it back together...

[BlahChed]

U KNO I TRIED TO DO THE SECOND PART AND SO HAPPENS I HAVE A BADD SCREW LIKE FML JUST MY LOOK AINT IT LIKE IM SO PISSED I JUST SPENT 100$ ON RED

[vkamobi]

well,we think it is too complicated.The battery built-in will be a big problem to change battery. As we are very professional in china cell phones,we tthink "capacitive J8" is much better in functions and cheapper price.

[MaesTr01000]

can u change your sim a card into another diffrent sim card?

[iOsouyo]

Can u take the iPhones battery out and put it in a iPod touch?

[blacksnow90]

@iOsouyo why would you even try to take a battery from an iphone ($500+) to try to put it in an ipod touch ($200). but still, no. the ipod touch battery is soldered to the main board. it would be like trying to put a car battery into your laptop

[le9it9amer]

Omg thank god I watched this video my back part of my phone broke so I undid those screws slid it off and put a new one on thank god man

[Cranfill101]

13 People fucked there iPhone up in this process

[music1stuntskicker10]

@Goose1sloose43450 not it doesn't as long as you put it back together they won't know and it is legal that's why he is doing it

[Pyr088]

[Wong506]

Can someone help me out so I have an AT&T 32 gb BLACK cracked screen iPhone 4 first iPhone 4 is it possible for me to use a WHITE AT&T iPhone 4 screen replacement I want to convert my black iPhone to white

[GaryKist]

is the LCD separable from the glass/digitizer?

[GooseIsLoose43450]

Wait, does removing the seal void the warranty, or does removing the back at all void it?

[shipwreck1119]

"uhh at this point..."

[ykid1195]

so you can take out the battery without voiding the warranty?

[P4R4CHUTE]

Which part is the hard drive?

[DanielDaniel1]

@P4R4CHUTE

Actually it has flash memory. Only the iPod classic has a disk drive

[tmaster2010]

wait.... what did he repair??

[P4R4CHUTE]

@tmaster2010 he is saying if you break anything in your phone, thats how to take it apart to get to whatever you broke.

[videomaker658]

Honestly, i would just rather attempt to disarm a bomb.

i have a tip, pick up a metal spludger they are reusable and work much better than the plastic tools

[pipes81111]

[GlobalRepairSolution]

@pipes81111 Which "Tab" are you referring to? The black tab under the battery connection?

[h8pikeys]

Please help, i took apart but where the vibrate came out as two peices not one. Im not sure how to properly put back the vibrate module now properly. Can you clarify how to reinstall the vibrate module thing.

[dhlee26]

I hate you!!!! You say in you video there are 8 screws to take of the front screen. you only show yourself taking off 7 screws and disregard the other 3. SO there are obviously 10 screws you need to take off!!! 2 on top, 2 on bottom and 6 on the sides. where the hell did you get 8??!?!?! now my lcd screen is crack because of your inconsiderate/neligable ass. Again.... I HATE YOU!!!!

[brazzeal15]

I'trying to take a look at my microphone to see whether I need to replace it or if it's just unplugged. It will work most of the time, but sometimes nobody can hear me talk. Really frustrating.

[Shezamlolz]

Or....send it to Apple. LOL

[altimgamr]

should i do this to fix a sticking lock button?

@12163498 Your earspeaker became unplugged or damaged during the fall.

[12163498]

I dropped my phone just once and now the ear speaker won't work. WTF. Dome have any comments on what I can do to fix this.

[050999742]

@12163498 exact same thing happened to me man, 5 days out of warranty....

[slwilson21]

The battery connector cable on my iPhone 4 is fried. Is there anyway to replace that cable? I can get the phone to respond when it's connected to the computer, but since the cable is fried and can't be plugged in, it doesn't stay powered up for too long.

[byRevoo]

Help! since i have done this i have very weak signal and in some places no signal at all. have i completely broken my phone or is there something i might have done wrong?

[GlobalRepairSolution]

@thegame20wee it is possible you have torn a flex cable, have you gone back to look at your work?

[GlobalRepairSolution]

@hydrossos you could use a different colored pry tool. It doesn't have to be green.

[Hydrossos]

does the pry tool have to be green?

[alphaandliarize]

This is really entertaining.

[vkamobi]

bought an Replacement Repair SIM Card Slot Tray Holder for iPhone 4G from vkamobi,can i fix iphone 4g by myself

[ZinnyTV]

but the real question is will it blend? XP

[thegame20wwe]

Hey can you help me? I transformed my phone into a white iphone and everything went flawlessly except now my camera flash no longer works. Any idea why not?

[GlobalRepairSolution]

@gooby80 Yes the battery is glued into the phone with a strong adhesive, @TheJusting650 Yes you have to remove everything to get to the front cover.

[gooby80]

never mind it was and that crap is sticky

[gooby80]

anyone elses battery like its glued in?

[Hollywood2099]

I followed this but my screen won't come off? It's soo tight..

[GlobalRepairSolution]

How is everyone today?

[SunnyProductiions]

@GlobalRepairSolution Fine

[TheJusting650]

all i wanna do is take off the back cover and the front cover and make my iphone 4 white do i has to take everything out to take off the front cover?

[AppleTechHelper]

@TheJusting650 Yes you do.

[gizmo5826]

To replace the digitzer or LCD on the iphone 4 you've got to take the whole phone apart but with the 3G and 3gs, to take the 2 screws out and the bottom and then ten to fifteen minutes later fixed, but saying that if you want to replace the battery in an iphone 4 takes about 2 steps, with an iphone 3g/3gs, you've got to take the screen and the mother board out. Just saying

[MrLeviaFUN]

my phone has small star bit screws...

[DanielBryanNS]

@MrLeviaFUN so does mine

[Philliptgraham]

Little rubber pc fell out I didn't see from where it's about 1/4" long, 1/8" wide with a grove down (off center) long ways.

Anyone know??

[synergy989]

@Philliptgraham pretty sure straddles the top of the logic board....you see how there are 5 connections we unplug....there are the two on top which are the LCD and Digitizer (not the three small ones)...the rubber part straddles UNDER those cables on the logic board...the thin side of the straddle on top....hope that kind of helps

[Wiseguy1989]

surgery!!

[jperez20010]

im having a problem with my iphone..the earbuds wont go in the socket anymore..do i have to take the whole thing apart as well?

[MrMuffdiver09]

[yason]

goog video

[ston69r]

mate what size screwdriver did u use? where did u get it from?

[AbbeySmithy]

I jumped into a pool with mine, and it didn't work after the rice until t took it apart and officially got all the pool water out of it.

Now I can hear calls and texts, play music, and charge it.. but I am unable to see anything. Does anyone know what I could do other than get a refurbished one for $99?

Is there any hope for my phone?

[febthemule1]

@AbbeySmithy nope and you probably wont get for at least $200

[vengeance1992]

@AbbeySmithy you can try putting it in distilled water and letting it dry for a few days, my phone was washed at 90 degrees once and this trick got it back to life.. although I would suggest removing the battery just to be sure

[slackingoff7]

@AbbeySmithy

you could have tried soaking it in rubbing alcohol with the battery removed. Then allow it to dry (this is a better method than distilled water because rubbing alcohol will get oils better and evaporate faster). if you get another phone and drop it in water, dont try to turn it on. try everything and then hope it turns on.

[crimsonencarta]

Why is it so hard for me to get my skrews out? im about to strip them, every video ive seen people just glide through getting all the skrews out but mine are stuck! It;'s so frustrating! what can I do to make them come out easier!?

[danoga12345]

@crimsonencarta your skrews might be glued in or ur turning them the wrong way.... remember righty tighty lefty lossey

[there544]

you think i could do a paint job on it after taking it apart? like spray painting it a certain colour or a stencil of some kind?

[secretweaponevan]

Thank you for this video. I was able to fix my sister-in-law's iphone4 that she dropped in a glass of soda.

[hummy2203]

@secretweaponevan, did you have to replace any parts? or how did u do it exactly, im lost and no where near a techie. please help

[secretweaponevan]

@hummy2203

I had to buy the pentalobe screwdriver to take off the "bulwark screws". I didn't have to replace anything, I just had to rinse the soda off the parts. I rinsed all but the battery, the vibro-motor and the camera. I then placed all parts in a tupperware with white rice. THE RICE POKED THE BACK OF THE LCD SCREEN AND MADE IT LOOK SPARKLY! :( You should use those silica packs and be careful of the LCD. Better yet, send your phone to this guy. I just did it myself to try to learn.

[hummy2203]

@secretweaponevan thank you I guess I will see if the rice helps I did take the back off a blew dry it for about 20 minutes on low, it doesnt seem wet, it only went in on the top and now its been in rice for 48 hrs or longer but im still scared to plug it in and try it. ALthough I know it is completely dead. Also the sensor on the bottom is still white(on the inside) so i dont think it got anywhere near the charging unit, woudl you try it?

[secretweaponevan]

@hummy2203 My sister-in-law had her's in rice for 3 days. The problem was that the dried soda was creating a short. Upon factory reset, the screen would just 'blip' for about 1/10 of a second. It would still ring, but you couldn't see the screen. I took it apart and dunked every piece (but the 3 mentioned) in a bowl of water, let them air dry, then put them in white rice for 3 days. Works fine now except for the "sparkly" screen.

[topbrand33]

@taylorbarrnz oh is it ?? no wonder low sounds....... so both side looks like speakers left is mic and right side only one speaker :( that too low sound :(

[topbrand33]

sir there is a problem in my iphone 4 the left side speaker sound is not coming but right side speaker sound is coming,. how to repair this ?

[mafiosiboyz]

The 6 side screws for the front panel don't need to fully come out; you can just loosen them a couple of threads. The digitizer can come off with those screws still in there ( makes it a bit easier). Just saying. :)

[DAngeloG12395]

hey man great vid :) was wondering if you could do a vid on the iphone 4 home button dissassembly. would be great :)

thanks

p.s. there arent any on youtube at the moment ;P

[elmuhfuh]

@TheClimb511 #00 phillips head works fine

[quantum598]

does anyone know whether or not the glass covering on the camera lens is apart of the camera module or apart of the backplate, reason why I ask is because I have to replace the backplate and was wondering if I will need to do the same for the camera module

[ItsMichaelW]

Thanks for great video. Will be doing this Monday or Tuesday when parts arrive.

Don't you think iphone is expensive? Check out offer at gifter7. com - now you can get one!

[okxdad]

god damnit!!!!!!!! all these videos stop when they take the front screen off, i need to know how to replace the earpiece on an iphone 4. links would be very helpfull.

[Nightowl4272]

@okxdad - Don't stop looking. There's one out there that shows you how to replace the screen. I saw it a few weeks ago. Now I'm trying to find it again and can't... goddammit.

[mdd1276]

@okxdad thats what im looking for too!

[anamaiacreate]

this really helped, thanks!

[angelus6901]

My iPhone 4 was completely water logged. Any way it can be repaired or does it have to be replaced?

[swe3t23]

i kind of spilled juice on my phone and top button feels like it is stick when i push it down. Can i bring it to the apple store and have them open it up and clean the inside.

[darcflame37]

Hey Global Repair, im replaceing the iphone4 screen with gorilla glass, is it possible?

[owenowen1000]

@darcflame37 iphone 4s already have gorilla glass...

[theiPodplace]

@owenowen1000

It's interesting. The glass on this phone may flex like no other, but shatters just as easy. The kind of break between dropping and flexing is very different.

[zombiesnow048]

does the pry tool have to be green?

[thingkinfast]

@zombiesnow048 lol, stop being silly.

[jerevucica]

well i just got back from the apple store and said.. "well, what the heck, lets just take the iPhone 4 apart and see how it works" hahaha

[ScobarOc]

[DethPotatoSkinz]

Do you know anywhere where I can get someone to do this for me? Do you think the Apple Store will?

[CheapobrosInc]

@DethPotatoSkinz the apple store will do this for you but will charge you quite a sum of money depending on what you are getting replaced.

well i done some research about the most important stuff well all the credit goes to samsung but i still like apple mor than samsung

[stryk3rr3al]

some of the newer iphone 4's use a 5 sided star screw,I wanted to take mine apart and well i had to buy a special orange torx driver PLEASE DONT BUY THE BLUE ONES THEY DONT WORK at all

[Intro2Video]

in soviet russia phones take you apart!

[qwertycamtube]

now im going to put a bomb in mine and make a app called suicide button!! you press the button, you blow up! brb my friend wants a go ^^

[TheClimb511]

FYI:

For those that don't know, you're gonna need a #000 (triple zero) phillips screw driver for most of the screws. And don't try to wedge a smaller flat-head tip into the phillips screw-head...you'll just damage the screw, if you do that. Also, don't be afraid to pull hard on that tab that lifts the battery; if you're doing it for the first time, it will seem like it's really stuck and doesn't want to come out, but just keep pulling and it will pop right out.

[MrDubz25]

samsung flight is better than iphone4

[neverskankyfan282]

@MrDubz25 alright that piece of shit isnt even a smart phone

you can peel the water sicker up easily and place to the side and then re attach when finished.....

[MrRu06]

Piece of cake!

[youngzillah]

Fuckin ay! Mine just slid out of my pocket as I was kneeling less than a foot and shattered on the deck. The glass is strong like they said though... it didn't fall out everywhere like regular glass would. And now for being a loyal returning customer its $199.99 + plus some fee to get it fixed when the glass can be bought on ebay for about 30 bucks. #_x
