[AshleyHarb]

V ok thanx

[AshleyHarb]

So if an iphone stops charging does that mean it needs a new battery? Because i have the iphone 2g and it stopped charging. Please reply back

[pdaparts]

@AshleyHarb It could mean that the battery is bad or there is an issue with the charging circuit.

[XSuperMarioFanX]

@AshleyHarb try using someone elses charger to see if your charger is faulty.

[JanessaBritt]

Hi do you guys fix iphones? I believe my iphone needs a new battery it wont hold a charge. I have the same model iphone shown in this video. But i dont wanna risk trying to replace my battery then end up damaging my whole phone becos im not an expert and i dont know how to soder. So do you guys fix iphones if i was to send you my iphone? Im not worried about the price you charge.

[pdaparts]

@JanessaBritt We do fix iPhone's but only the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 at this time. Goto DirectFix com for a complete list of the phone's, ipod's and other units we repair.

[jibbindgb]

why is the 3gs digitizer so cheap and the 2gs so expensive?

[pdaparts]

@jibbindgb The 3GS is capable of having just the touch panel replaced and the iPhone 2G requires that you replace the complete screen. Take a look at our Blog article on this at DirectFix com/blog

[AshleyHarb]

@pdaparts hi do you still sell iphone 2G batteries? If so whats the price? Including shipping

[831tweenky]

hey i need some help..i have this same iphone but my screen isnt damaged it looks good but it doesnt respond...i cant slide to unlock it or anything how can i fix this my self?

[pdaparts]

@831tweenky You need to replace the complete screen even if just the touch panel is not working.

[pdaparts]

Respond to this video...Yes we carry the battery. Goto DirectFix com and search part number IP-2103



[50UTHPOLE]

@pdaparts if i change my iphone battery will i lose all the things i have on my iphone? Im talking about the pictures and videos and apps.

[pdaparts]

@50UTHPOLE You should not loose anything by removing the battery.

[JamesProable]

@pdaparts hey sir my iphone 2G wont even charge idk whats going on. Can you please tell me if it need a new battery? Please i need to know because im not an expert and this is the first time this happened. Please respond

[pdaparts]

@JamesProable It could just need a battery or it could be an issue with the charger port or motherboard.

[REMIX8604]

is it possible to take the memory out of this? i own a 16 gig now. if i buy 8 gig can i take the memory from the 16 and put it in a 8 gig. or is the memory part of the mother board?

[pdaparts]

@REMIX8604 the memory is part of the motherboard.

[TheElite805]

I have 2 iPhone 2G'S I was wondering if i switched the motherboards theres a working one and a non working what would happen if i switched them? Is it possible? Please reply!

[pdaparts]

@TheElite805 As long as they are both 2G that will work to make one good working unit.

[TheElite805]

@pdaparts Thank you soo much!!! I really appreciate your help... Is the motherboard hard to take off the iPhone 2G?

[MrMetalBurrito]

@TheElite805 Nope, but the battery can be pretty sticky.

@pdaparts I have had my iPhone 2G ever since it came out in 2007. Ok my question is about the battery. I would like to know how many years is the battery suppose to last because like I said I've had it since 2007 and it still runs good.

[pdaparts]

@suppvee Goto DirectFix com and email our customer service dept and we will help you the best we can.

[MrAlb4life]

hi i have iphone 2g like your in this video. My problem is that in the middle of the screen the iphone dosent respond to my touch.i restared and tryed everything still didnt work. Is it the digitizer's fault or the lcd's?

[pdaparts]

@MrAlb4life You need to replace the complete screen on the iPhone 2G. Look at part number IP-2085 at DirectFix com

[Apphelper2]

@pdaparts hi I have the iPhone 2G the same one featured in this video. Ok my question is about the aluminum back cover my cover is all scratched up and I want to know if I can buy a brand new cover from you guys?

[pdaparts]

@Apphelper2 The covers are available but we no longer carry them.

[hassankelghoul]

Thats good. Thanx for sharing

[jeromejacobse]

yes! Tank you very much, it worked on my iphone 2g =D

[wondervirg]

@jeromejacobse

[f22raptor64]

How do u put it back together

[pdaparts]

@f22raptor64 Follow the steps on the video in reverse.

[wilt778]

wow the 3g is much easier to remove

[pdaparts]

@wilt778 We agree

[lucybenlucyben]

very clear, easy step by step guide. thanks for the video

[CASmemberSIXpents]

@pdaparts isn't the iphone 4 and touch 4 's LCD and digitizer fused together too

[pdaparts]

@CASmemberSIXpents Yes and Yes

[Hassboy1990]

Wow he basically took the whole iPhone apart. Anyways last year I dropped my iPhone 2G and the screen stoped working it didn't crack but the top apps froze so I was forced to buy a new screen and the guy at the phone store fixed it and I was happy but it cost me $150 and that was alot

[pdaparts]

@Hassboy1990 Hence why you should have ordered the part from DirectFix com and repaired it yourself and saved a lot of money.

[treytrey12three]

Let's see u put it back together

[pdaparts]

@treytrey12three No problem. we already did put it back together back in 2007 when we did the video. in fact the unit is still on my desk and works perfect.

[game2heart]

how in the world does a digitizer break?

[pdaparts]

@game2heart Drop the phone of the ground or put it in your back pocket.. forget and sit down on it etc etc...

[Wadigzon]

hi there, I think there are three components to be taken into account,

1. The glass

2. Digitizer

3. LCD,

I have the glass and digitizer replacement glued together already, is it possible to replace just 1 & 2, looks like my LCD is just fine ? what do you think?

[pdaparts]

@Wadigzon First the Glass and Digitizer are the same part. Then there is the LCD. The LCD and Digitizer/Glass are all fused together at the factory and can not be replaced separately. You have to replace the complete screen even if you only broke 1 of those 2 parts. Goto DirectFix com and look at IP-2085

[Wadigzon]

@pdaparts thanks for replying dude .. that's indeed valuable info.

[thegeorgepage]

cheers

[levygonz]

lol after u removed the frame it looked like an iphone 4

[JOHNBASS117111]

@levygonz that gives me an idea.

[medicpack6]

coool

[Carxpert222]

Okay, I have a apple iphone 2G 8gb and I dont have a case opener tool. What can improvise with?

[pdaparts]

@Carxpert222 Get a case opener tool from DirectFix com.

[Mauro4life]

wow dont show us how to put it back together or anything!!!!!!!!

[pdaparts]

@Mauro4life It is a FREE video just follow the steps in reverse.

[dreadspark]

I bought Lcd and Digitizer seperatley is there a way to put them together? glue or something? :(

[pdaparts]

@dreadspark On the iPhone 2G it is close to impossible to separate or put together the glass and the lcd so you must purchase the complete screen. Take a look at IP-2085 at DirectFix com. We never sell just the touch panel or just the lcd for the iPhone 2G.

[DisturbedThePast]

ok when you pry off the antenna cabel do you glue it back on soilder ????

[pdaparts]

@DisturbedThePast Just hot glue it back on.

[casper1119]

thanks for posting, I don't wanna open mine but was always interested wht is it like the inside of the phone.

[TheUnderlyingShadow]

Omg iPhone 3G and 3GS are sooo much easier to repair :/

[SebastianG13]

crap i bought a 3g digitizer instead of the 2g, is there any major significance?

[pdaparts]

@SebastianG13 YES. The 3G will not work in the 2G unit and the 2G will not work in the 3G unit.

[KcKreicar]

is this similar difficulty to the iphone 3g?, and also is the digitizer included in a new complete screen?

[pdaparts]

@KcKreicar No the iPhone 3G is easier to repair. Yes when you purchase the complete screen from DirectFix com we include the LCD and Touch Panel together. Look at part number IP-2085

[10jmsoccer]

this is weird to watch because it almost seems like old tech. compared to the iphone 4 tear down. haha

[alphenchick]

ok and now put it back together again!!!!

[pdaparts]

@alphenchick We already did back in 2007 when we made the video. In fact one of the employees is still using the unit.

[blorchdude4]

thank you very much i appreciate the help again thanks

[blorchdude4]

what tool did you use that you called the case opening tool is that a special type of tool

[pdaparts]

@blorchdude4 Take a look at DirectFix com and search part number XX1521

[mike82y]

what about the adhesive for the screen and battery? I want to make sure I can get everything b4 I place my order ty

[pdaparts]

@mike82y On the iPhone 2G it is close to impossible to separate the glass from the lcd so you must purchase the complete screen. There is no adhesive needed when you replace the complete screen. Take a look at IP-2085 at DirectFix com

[AJGAYFASHIONISTA]

was this video made the day the first iphone was released

[pdaparts]

@AJGAYFASHIONISTA Yes it was.

[xoItzAliyahxo]

what type of iphone is this?

[pdaparts]

@xoItzAliyahxo This is an iPhone Gen 1 or also called an iPhone 2G

[neilgerald77]

@xoItzAliyahxo first generation iphone

[mike82y]

what glue do you recommend to use?

[pdaparts]

@mike82y If you are referring to to the white antenna cable you can use a dab of hot glue to hold it down or in place.

[SlickKidDownDaBlock]

umm at the end you didnt take the glass from the lcd do you have a tutorial for that or can you tell me hoe to do it



[pdaparts]

@SlickKidDownDaBlock You are correct because on the iPhone 2G it is close to impossible to separate the glass from the lcd.

[kubaczek20]

Thank you so much. I've just finish opening my Iphone and I take off my broken LCD and I'm gonna buy new one. Thank you again :D .

[jabbawockeezrock101]

[5kak47]

I have dust under my screen, is it possible to lift the screen and clean it out then put it back?

[pdaparts]

@5kak47 No. On the iPhone 2G it is close to impossible to separate the glass from the lcd.

[5kak47]

@pdaparts It's an iphone 3g, and its under the screen.

[pdaparts]

@5kak47 oops yes 3G is easier to remove the glass from the lcd. Take a look at our other videos.

[ez45]

[jonnyattack]

[AREDVER]

If my cell phone was not cracked (it doesn't visably need to be replaced) but it is no longer touch sensative, could this be a faulty digatizer and fixed by replacing it or could it be something wrong with the motherboard?

[pdaparts]

@AREDVER You need a complete screen. DirectFix com part number IP-2085. Read below on why you can not replace just the Touch Panel on the iPhone 2G.

As long as the only issues you have are with the screens and you did not drop it in water or have water damage issues then yes that should fix it.

[zboy09809]
