am i suppose to change the ditizer...cuz my screen was cracked and i replaced the screen from ebay and the touch sense still dosnt work...so im not exactly sure what to replace...can someone please let me know....thanks
while seperating the lcd digitizer from the board i accidently pulled of the parrt where the home button is located & ripped the ribon n other then that i did everything good but wont turn on so do u think its the Ribbon Keypad Port Flex Cable?
why the fvck did you decide to scroll the text OVER the video???? this is ridiculous, people want to see what you're doing and the text is blocking the way!!! horrible video, yet made with good and useful intentions.
@MilkMan778 the backlight is part of the LCD ... if you have a 2g it is the same thing as in my video... if you have a 3g you could also change the lcd only...
so there are several parts for the screen. the lcd and the outer screen. but i dont get it! what parts do i need. i ruined two different parts accidentally because i was being stupid. i broke the outer screen that has the digitizer and i also broke the one under that
I'd like to know that as well. My 2G probably has a malfunctioning digitizer, since no amount of resetting and/or restoring will make the screen respond to anything. However, the glass and LCD panel are fine, so if possible I'd like to avoid having to replace those.
you can try, but on a 2g it is very likely that you break your existing LCD while migrating it to the new digitizer (and break the new digitizer as well ;) better get a combo replacement part... on a 3g i would guess it is possible to searate those two...
So is it simple to replace the digitizer and use the original glass? Most videos I've come across are of broken glass or glass with digitizers.... Also, there aren't many good videos on how to open up the Iphone 2G, whether from the back or just from the front..... You think you could help out with that?
i bought the digitizer, lcd, front screen seperate. no adhesive was involved to make whole assembly. Put everything together and works 98 percent. the digitizer works but then after 45 sec it stops. I turn off and and turn back on the iphone and the digitizer works again.
any idea on why the digitizer acts on and off like that? you think i need to glue the parts together. your assembly looks all in contact. If so what glue do i need??
I live in Texas and I know a company that can do digitizer repairs but they run a free diagnostic first to determine what the problem is...they are called Global Repair Solutions
I followed your instruction and it was succesful, but now it is TURNING ON ITSELF and NOT CHARGING, NOT DETECTED by a Computer. I've tried to plugin wall charger, computer to charge/detected by computer but there is no success. Also it get very hot. Please help me to solve this problem? is it something wrong with the new digitizer?
you should disassemble the devie again and recheck all the connectors. it sounds as if the flat ribbon cable from the usb port has not been connected correctly... hopefully you did not damage other parts... good luck!
ok so i dropped my phone the other day, it still works i can see the icons fine and i can touch everything and work the phone, but it has a huge crack. does that mean i just need the glass or do i need a digitizer too? how do i know if ii need a digitizer and where can i get the parts i need
my touch screen wont work! About 50% of the time it will read my finger but the other 50% it wont register my finger. You think its a digitizer problem? please help!
I took my iphone apart b/c the digitizer broke on me anyway i cant connect to my usb now i was wondering how you do it. Simply i was wondering how you connect the usb wire thing which is stuck to the iphone case and connects to the motherboard. Thanks
Hi. So i dropped my phone the other day :'( and the upper part of my iPhone does not repond anymore :( people are saying that i should just get a new phone bc it will cost a lot to get this fixed...is that so? Please let me know. btw i have the older iPhone..the 2g.
hey im having a hard time putting cable # 1 and #2 in. Are they suppose to snap back in or something? When i put the iphone back together it turns on but the screen does not respond...please help!
Hey I have a similar touch screen phone (Samsung Instinct) and I dropped it and it broke. The screen appears cracked inside and I can still see the icons a little bit. The touch screen is still working, I can actually answer my phone. Do you think I need to replace the lcd or digitizer or both?
Half of my bottom screen does not respond to any touch but the upper screen works. Would I just need to replace the digitlizer? Can it be the motherboard that's causing these problems? Thank you so much!
Hi, if you have a 2g iphone you need to replace the digitizer and lcd combo (not possible to separate those two on the 2g). If it is a 3g iohine you can replace the digitizer only... Your problem is the digitizer... Most likely :)
I have exactly the same issue, and I don't know what should I do. Any help ? Is there any way to fix it without buying all (screen + digitizer + front glass) ? thanks
SupremexYub, it's not the motherboard.I changed the motherboard in mine, and the result is the same. The problem is from the digitizer. Did you get any solution ?
I got it repaired easily for 120USD(which isn't bad at all)
The diagnostic result came through with a broken digitizer. So what I need to get replaced was the glass/digitizer and the LCD (since I leaked some type of oil residue and stained the LCD screen).
Try u breakifix.c om. there service is really good and reliable. They'll go through the procedure with you and have a 24hr turn around time which mean you can get it withing a day.
@Jiggahata1 so you own a 3g or 3gs iphone? this is the digitizer replacement on a classic (2g) iphone... you cant change the digitizer only on a classic iphone...
Great video! I replaced my broken screen on my iphone 2g. After replacing it the phone powers on. But it does not respond to any input. What could be the issue? The home button doesn't work either but the power button does.
i have a 3g and i replace the screen including the digitalizer and the process was excellent but after putting it back together it wont power up. what could be the problem? thanks!
unfortunately i have no personal experience with the 3g as my 3g and 3gs still works fine :) (knock on wood) ... check all the connectors (power on button), check battery power...
I got a question, I've dropped my iphone 3g...alot.. and finally cracked my screen. Then a few weeks ago me and my best friend were wrestling for my phone and i was gripping it really hard and my screen cracked even more and deeper ones too. Also my entire screen became no longer responsive. So do u think this problem is the digitizer? Im getting from ur vid and comments it i but i want to make sure.
sure.. in te video it is a classic (2g) iphone... if yours is a 3g you can just change front glass and digitizer... should be fine then... make sure your lcd is ok and has no scratches :)
i noticed it was 2g after i commented but i seen other vids with a 3g so i know how to take it apart, actually already did that a couple weeks ago but i need to order the parts. so i get a new screen and digitizer. u know a good site to buy the stuff i need?
the digitizer is a small layer between the frontglass and the lcd. in the classic iphone (some call it 2g) it is embedded in the front glass which is glued to the lcd. therefore it can only be replaced in one piece (as seen in the video)
this is why the 2G and lower didnt break - digitizer was cemented to the LCD as one unit. the newer ones are not - easier replacement for what will break much much quicker (it took probably dozens of falls for my 2G to break the glass... the 3G broke the first time, in 2 days)
I got an iPhone 2G with a broken digitizer (just the lower part of the touch is working, without cracks) and a separated digitizer bought on eBay. Can I buy just the LCD part and "glue" it on my spare digitizer to fix the iPhone or do I have to buy both together?
yoru gonna need to pick off all the glass and digitizer and glue on the new one. search up torninger87 and follow his video but take off the digitizer as well. i think if you just have the digitizer on the lcd and glue the glass on top around the black bits it should stay where it is.
i have the iphone 2g with a broken digitizer. is it possible to replace the digitizer only without having to buy the digitizer and lcd all in one set? and if so, how do you take off the digitizer to the 2g iphone?
what if i replaced the glass screen and when i put it back together everything works except for no sound comes out of the speaker. music or if im on the phone. wtf
is there only 3 connectors that have to go back on right? All I did was take the screen off and replace it. everything works but that speaker. i dont get it
hey man saw you had a lot of knowledge with this so thought i would ask you a question... i cracked my screen originally so just got a digitizer then replaced that and lcd cracked while doing it so got a new one and replaced it now when i turn it on it turns on normal and stays on the black background and white apple screen for around 5 seconds then goes off everytime any idea what has happened?
check if you connected everything correctly. also make sure all the buttons work and are not stuck. ... if that does not help go to dfu mode and read out boot loader messages to find out what happens...
At the start of the video, do i have to remove the glass that is stuck to the lcd screen with a knife bit by bit? or will the glass just seperate from the lcd easily?
do you own a 1st generation iphone or a 3g/3gs? for 1st generation iphones please note that you cant seprate lcd and digitizer without breaking them! ...
i need to replace a 2g screen and now ive found out a digitizer.
I bought the outer glass and broke the LCD screen while replacing it, so i was looking on ebay for an LCD screen so i could use it but have found out it doesnt come with a digitizer,
can you buy a lcd with a digitizer with out the glass or do i have to purchase them all together?
so i got a 3g iphone and the screen is completley cracked, and when i turnit on the screen stays black but you can see it light up. i plug it in to my computer and teh software is all good, except the screen, and on ebay they have a LCD GLASS TOUCH SCREEN REPLACEMENT DIGITIZER with tools and instructions on how to replace the screen/LCD/digitizer. is that what i need to fix it?
sure... use new solder... regarding the antenna cable... you could try to glue it to the connctor like it originally was... you should use the right glue for that of course or aou could change the connector (this is difficult)!
Ok my Iphone fell in water so the touch screen does not always work. I know this is the digitizer, but I am confused as to what part to purchase. Do I need the complete combo with the LCD screen or can I just get the digitizer?
i just gotta say here, apple products seem to be somewhat infused with nintanium, that is, they're almost as durable as nintendo products, they feel solid in your hand, no cheap plastic feeling like a lot of other media players
well thank you i am now convinced that i dont want to put the new sensor glass on my phone (its not broken) i just want a color change not a slew of cursing for 2 hours while i figure out how to get that ribbon i just cut replaced. ill just replace the back it seems less dangerous.
ok i have a 2g iphone.. the bottom of my screen didnt work for a while so i replaced it with a new lcd and digitizer.. but now i get no responce on the screen ...could i have conneted something wrong??
Quick question, my screen is cracked, images look fine and it responds to my "touches". Is it easier to repair if I purchase the LCD display cover / lens glass + digitizer with flex cable and connector (one complete unit)? Or should I just replace what's broken, which is the glass? I have no problem repairing it myself, I just want to keep it as simple as possible with whatever is going to give me the least amount of steps with the ending result being a working phone with a NON cracked screen.
I just replaced my screen/digitizer and it's not too bad however, you do need to take your time. Though my screen is no longer cracked I did accidentally "bump" my LCD screen. There are a few steps a lot of these videos leave out though! I had to figure it out on my own.
Ok I have a ipod touch 1G and my screen has been cracked. The screen still works (I still play games on it all the time). So I'm assuming the LCD works, but does this mean that the Digitizer also works?
Do I need glass with digitizer or just the 2G Glass?
If the screen and touch capabilities both work, don't bother trying to fix it. In the 1G/2G the digitizer, glass and LCD are epoxied together. It's nearly impossible to separate. You'll be out $150 if you try to fix it yourself.
yeah you can get a 3g for 200 if you sign a new contract and pay an extra $10 a month in internet fees...i JUST went out of my 1 year warranty and my lcd is now FUBAR...it works still but there are spots on the bottom right corner and side where you cant see anything..it SUCKS, and if i had just purchased the applecare for $60 i would have been fine, but my warranty ran out feb 4th..DAMN IT MAN
Does anyone know a cheap place to get the new digitizer and all the other parts I am going to need for this? I found places for 150, but nothing less.
This video is for the original iPhone. If you have the 3G, 3GS or the iPhone 4 you will need to find a different video.

tglybx why is that on some iPhones half of the screen works but, the other half does not? What makes that to happen?
Juanito828 2 years ago
its just because the digitizer is split in to sections. some times the upper one goes, sometimes lower. or both.

tglynx 2 years ago

c03camson 2 years ago
hey man saw you had a lot of knowledge with this so thought i would ask you a question... i cracked my screen originally so just got a digitizer then replaced that and lcd cracked while doing it so got a new one and replaced it now when i turn it on it turns on normal and stays on the black background and white apple screen for around 5 seconds then goes off everytime any idea what has happened?

You probably cut too deep into your phone.

check if you connected everything correctly. also make sure all the buttons work and are not stuck. ... if that does not help go to dfu mode and read out boot loader messages to find out what happens...

At the start of the video, do i have to remove the glass that is stuck to the lcd screen with a knife bit by bit? or will the glass just seperate from the lcd easily?
SkiddyBeef 2 years ago
Btw, i plan to keep the lcd screen and just add a digitizer
SkiddyBeef 2 years ago
do you own a 1st generation iphone or a 3g/3gs? for 1st generation iphones please note that you cant seprate lcd and digitizer without breaking them! ...
tglynx 2 years ago
Yes mine is a 2g. When you say without breaking them, do you mean breaking the glass? Is it possible to remove the glass in anyway?
SkiddyBeef 2 years ago
for the first generation iphone you can only replace lcd and digitizer (with the glass) in one part!
tglynx 2 years ago
what is the thing thats glue onto the glass called

i need to replace a 2g screen and now ive found out a digitizer.
I bought the outer glass and broke the LCD screen while replacing it, so i was looking on ebay for an LCD screen so i could use it but have found out it doesnt come with a digitizer,
can you buy a lcd with a digitizer with out the glass or do i have to purchase them all together?
Jew107 2 years ago
please read the other posts.. i would suggest to buy digitzer + lcd (with glass) (the glass is the digitizer!)
tglynx 2 years ago
can you buy just the digitizer or does the lcd come attached?
yobmacyo 2 years ago
you can buy them seperately

you can, but they're scams....lcd and digitizer are laminated together

i was looking for a replacement screen and on ebay it said digitizer no included, i need the lcd screen thats all, what is a digitizer?

the digitalizer is basically the "glass" infront of the actual LCD.

so i got a 3g iphone and the screen is completley cracked, and when i turnit on the screen stays black but you can see it light up. i plug it in to my computer and teh software is all good, except the screen, and on ebay they have a LCD GLASS TOUCH SCREEN REPLACEMENT DIGITIZER with tools and instructions on how to replace the screen/LCD/digitizer. is that what i need to fix it?

help me just this once plz....

you forgot to connect the flat ribbon cable of the back cover!
tglynx 2 years ago
it wont work even after i tightly connect it...im buying a new assembly for that one
as for the wifi cable, instead of gluing it on there, im thinking about using some solder on top of it to hold it in place
smballer23 2 years ago
and no it will not let me do a restore it is totally unresponsive to anything now
caylab1 2 years ago
so i repaired the screen and now my iphone wont turn on when i push the power button and it turns on and off by itself do you have any suggestions?
caylab1 2 years ago
open it again and check all the connectors!
tglynx 2 years ago
i have openned it multiple times and checked the connectors and they are all in place i think that maybe my motherboard went bad or something
caylab1 2 years ago
hey does it matter what order you attach the digitizer and stuff to the main board?
caylab1 2 years ago
3 questions...
I replaced digitizer, it just displays stuff but wont respond to touch...what should i do?
also, the wifi antenna cable wont stay on the iphone because the spring thing got lost.....how can i keep the antenna cable connected?
and while fixing the phone, the three wires attaching the battery accidently got pulled off....
should i just resolder a new battery at the same spot?
smballer23 2 years ago
1. sounds like you missed conecting a flat ribbon cable
2. which spring thing?
3. just solder the battery back in (you could also use the old one, why not?)
tglynx 2 years ago
there's a problem with the white antenna cable, the twin wires and are inside it...
i push it back into its spot and it doesnt stay there like it should. all the other 3 ends stay, just not this one...
and about the battery, i think i should use a desoldering wick and and use new solder
this is bcuz those soldered wires got ripped off the comm. board
smballer23 2 years ago
sure... use new solder... regarding the antenna cable... you could try to glue it to the connctor like it originally was... you should use the right glue for that of course or aou could change the connector (this is difficult)!
tglynx 2 years ago
thanx,
i think i should use something to keep the cable in place, and maybe use a hot glue gun to drop it onto there
or what if i used solder to keep it in place?

i have a first gen iphone and i opened it up to replace the batter and i accidentally broke the main antenna what can i do?

buy new main antenna? :)
tglynx 2 years ago
ok how should i go about buying one of those and could i break any others by putting that one in cause i know they are really sensitive?
thanks
923123 2 years ago
Ok my Iphone fell in water so the touch screen does not always work. I know this is the digitizer, but I am confused as to what part to purchase. Do I need the complete combo with the LCD screen or can I just get the digitizer?
ladye1012 2 years ago
if it is 1st generation iphone you shouldgo with the combo... if it is a 3g you can just buy the digitizer...
tglynx 2 years ago
i just gotta say here, apple products seem to be somewhat infused with nintanium, that is, they're almost as durable as nintendo products, they feel solid in your hand, no cheap plastic feeling like a lot of other media players
drumstyx6464 2 years ago
mine is also broken in the upper part, where did you get you digitizer? i dont want to buy a screen+digi but only digi
VirtRampage 2 years ago
if you have the classic iphone you should buy the combo. its hard to separate those two! i bought mine on ebay! (also see other comments...)
tglynx 2 years ago
i dont know its too risky, what if somethings wrong with the mainboard or something else, i waste like 200 bucks
VirtRampage 2 years ago
great job!
jeanie4577 2 years ago
i dont think so. non of my own iphones was ever broken. this digitizer died because the iphone fell into the water. i just repaired it.
apple and microsoft also have a very different business model - this has nothing to do with this video ;)
apple has nothing to do with the replacement parts, you should be better informed before posting a comment like this ;)
apple does not want you to repair the iphone yourself!
the iphones touch screen is great! ;)
>what a joke!
yes!
tglynx 2 years ago
well thank you i am now convinced that i dont want to put the new sensor glass on my phone (its not broken) i just want a color change not a slew of cursing for 2 hours while i figure out how to get that ribbon i just cut replaced. ill just replace the back it seems less dangerous.

ok i have a 2g iphone.. the bottom of my screen didnt work for a while so i replaced it with a new lcd and digitizer.. but now i get no responce on the screen ...could i have conneted something wrong??
psanchez56 2 years ago
do i have to restore my iphone?
psanchez56 2 years ago
Quick question, my screen is cracked, images look fine and it responds to my "touches". Is it easier to repair if I purchase the LCD display cover / lens glass + digitizer with flex cable and connector (one complete unit)? Or should I just replace what's broken, which is the glass? I have no problem repairing it myself, I just want to keep it as simple as possible with whatever is going to give me the least amount of steps with the ending result being a working phone with a NON cracked screen.

is it a classic or 3g iphone?
tglynx 2 years ago
It is a 3g
DonyaleS 2 years ago
I just replaced my screen/digitizer and it's not too bad however, you do need to take your time. Though my screen is no longer cracked I did accidentally "bump" my LCD screen. There are a few steps a lot of these videos leave out though! I had to figure it out on my own.
DonyaleS 2 years ago
Ok I have a ipod touch 1G and my screen has been cracked. The screen still works (I still play games on it all the time). So I'm assuming the LCD works, but does this mean that the Digitizer also works?
Do I need glass with digitizer or just the 2G Glass?
Thanks! :)
nick011894 3 years ago
If the screen and touch capabilities both work, don't bother trying to fix it. In the 1G/2G the digitizer, glass and LCD are epoxied together. It's nearly impossible to separate. You'll be out $150 if you try to fix it yourself.
michaelphines 2 years ago
theres is a way easier and cheaper way to fix this.....take it to an apple store and they'll exchange it
ferrari347 3 years ago
that is true if you have warranty for the phone and if it is not fall damage ;)
tglynx 3 years ago
thats true but why pay 150 for a new digitizer when you can get a 3g for 200?
ferrari347 3 years ago
for the fun ;)
tglynx 3 years ago
aha sounds good i guess
ferrari347 3 years ago
yeah you can get a 3g for 200 if you sign a new contract and pay an extra $10 a month in internet fees...i JUST went out of my 1 year warranty and my lcd is now FUBAR...it works still but there are spots on the bottom right corner and side where you cant see anything..it SUCKS, and if i had just purchased the applecare for $60 i would have been fine, but my warranty ran out feb 4th..DAMN IT MAN

Does anyone know a cheap place to get the new digitizer and all the other parts I am going to need for this? I found places for 150, but nothing less.
