My iphone 3G crashes constantly on everything except Itunes. Would anyone know why this is happening?

[borgy773]

Hi my iphone 3gs will not do anything when i plug it into pc all that happens is i get a faint apple logo do you have any idea what the problem is and how to fix any help you can give will be a great help thanks

[TheWargasmxx]

My iPhone 3GS recently went through a washing machine. Lol I got a new one, but I would still like to fix the old one. I plugged it in , and everything works, but the screen is black. What all parts will I need?

[pdaparts]

@TheWargasmxx Unfortunately when it goes into water many items can or will go bad and even if you fix them there is no guarantee that it will work 100% correctly.

[jayric36]

I recently had the sim tray broken in half but one of the halfs is stuck in the iPhone and I can't get it out. If I were to take it apart, would I see that broken part and be able to remove it?

[pdaparts]

@jayric36 Maybe. It will depend on how much is stuck in the slot etc.

[MarkbromIerski]

I have a 3G in the draw which my son can have but the slide to unlock part of the screen does not work at all. What do I have to replace, the digitizer or the LCD or both? Thanks for the video

[pdaparts]

@MarkbromIerski Sounds like it just needs the digitizer replaced from the description you gave. Take a look at IP-2213 at DirectFix com

[azucarmorena5000]

nice!

How to disassemble an iPhone:

1. Get a hammer.

2. Smash the iPhone.

[SuperPandazzz]

lets say your touch screen isnt working wat would u have to fix??? the LCD or the screen??

[pdaparts]

@SuperPandazzz You would need the Touch Screen

[REMIX8604]

@SuperPandazzz you would probably need a new digitizer if its just not recognizing the touch.. if the screen doesnt work then its the lcd.

[MrTribaltats05]

This was very useful. My gf dropped hers in water (sermged) and I took it part and cleaned the contacts. Luckly Its works now, it would nothing for awhile

[FruitForSale]

what size screwdriver did you use to take of the LCD?

[pdaparts]

@FruitForSale It is a Philips #00 available at DirectFix com. Part Number XX2240

[spy4561]

Is it possible to take apart an ipod touch ?

[pdaparts]

@spy4561 Yes, See our other videos.

[slackxslx]

Do the same thing but backwards ya dumb fuck

[supercross14]

you guys should make a complete reassembly video now

[pdaparts]

@supercross14 Check our other videos we already have them posted.

[MFCronan]

@supercross14 just rewind the video

[TXMurder]

Thanks for the vid got the dust out from under the glass and custom painted the back.

[kaotik0ne72]

I just used this video to diagnose what was wrong with my friends iPhone. Turns out the LCD went bad. But I still took the rest of it apart, just to show her first hand what it looks like. Thanks for the detailed video/instructions!

[GaeilgeSpraoi]

I think I'm gonna have to take mine apart because my iPhone is second hand and it has dust between the screen and the LCD which is annoying me! :/ I think the seal around the side is a tad worn or something.

[rafi458]

i got the 3gs, is it the same?

[pdaparts]

3G Cases work for the 3G and 3GS cases work for the 3GS. You can not use a 3G on a 3GS and you can not use a 3GS on a 3G.

[063jax]

hi there...the back case of my iphone just got broken and i wna replace it...is it possbile?

[pdaparts]

Yes, we carry that parts on our webpage at DirectFix com

[clodester]

@pdaparts what would happen if i put a iphone 3gs mother board & screen assembly into a regular iphone 3g?

Brilliant vid, very clear and useful. Thank you so much. 5*

[pdaparts]

@clodester it would not work. The connector on the lcd/screen is different between the two models just to start with. There are other issue but it would take forever to go over them all.

[SoundwaveWill]

Thanks for the vid! I've got dust under my screen from keeping it in my pocket constantly. It's been driving me crazy, but now I can remove it thanks to your detailed tear down.

[awesomepartner2]

guys if you can make a video of water damage it will awesome in this world. thats what i am looking also and lotsssssssssssssss of people,great video

[pdaparts]

Lets make this simple once you have water damage most of the time the motherboard is bad and sometime other parts. Now you are at the point that the cost to fix it is more than getting a new phone from ATT/Apple. Not worth repairing.

thank you for the tutorial. i took my phone apart just to clean the dust that got under the glass screen. works just fine and looks brand new.

[UR8OOL]

Now I don't have to take mine apart out of curiosity!

[QuickiPodTouchHelp]

thatnk you!

[insanelax78]

whats the point of taking it apart

[pdaparts]

I will make it simple. When it breaks from dropping it then it is out of warranty. PDAparts(dot)com will offer replacement parts along with this video which will allow you to install the part and save a bunch of money.
