How to fix your BROKEN iPhone!!

I dropped my iPhone back in January of this year and have been so so upset since! I searched high and low online to find a resolution for it but it was all too pricey for me to justify fixing it. So I got some parts from Ebay and then thought I'd do my own little experiment. The rest is history!

The Ebay shop I got my parts from:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/sjmalistock2008 - I got the digitizer and screen set, with the LCD for £30! BARGAIN!! Compaired to other shops and in store prices to fix it (£140+).

what brand is your watch? ;)

[locksleynet]

@fubime it's a Superdry watch.. Wasn't very expensive :)

Am I missing something here? your computer can pick up your iphone- you have no lcd working but yet you are still able to play music on your iphone to drain the battery? how did you get to the music on your iphone then?

[locksleynet]

@decus69 I pressed the power button and waited about 30 seconds until I thought it was turned on. Then pressed the button on the headphone cable to start playing music. I turned the volume right up so it used more power and just left it in a room until it turned off. That was the only way I could know for sure it had used all the power. Someone else suggested doing a reset by holding power button and home button for 30 seconds would work too, but it didn't work for me at the time.

@decus69 oh I get it, thanks. I have a similar problem, I've connected cable 1,2,3, but screen is not working at all plus the home button doesn't work. have you got any suggestion which might help me get it up and running? Also how far does the cable #3 have to go inside the connector?

[locksleynet]

@decus69 cable 3 does not go very far into the connector, part of the end is still visible when properly connected. I'm unsure about the home button, sorry.. Maybe it'll come back to life once the screen and LCD are up and running again?

That last part honestly made me feel much better. Because I have had to take my iPhone apart a few times, then the screen dies...connects to the pc thought, then turns on after a long period of time, I thought I must havee broken it, Im glad to know that is what is meant to happen, that makes me feel better about it all(:

Good video(: Thanks(:

@locksleynet i need to change the complete screen on my iphone like you, when you say drain the battery do you mean to where it comes up with the battery logo and flashes red to be charged or so that it doesnt come on at all?? Awesome vid btw :D
