How to Take Apart and Repair iPhone 3G LCD Screen Digitizer etc

how do u fix a water damaged iphone 3g

follow the video to disassemble and then bath the board in 90 percent alcohol... That should get of any imperfections that could cause the board to not work. Good luck! Let it try for 12 hours before you attempt use after you bath the board in alcohol.

But the phone has water damage does it still work if the phone has water damage?

Plz can u help me my dock button touch screen is not working rest of the screen touch is working properly but when i connect it to my charger then dock button touch screen works.Can u tell me what is the fault n what should i do plz help meeeee.

ok, so i broke my lcd screen while replacing the glass and digitizer on my iphone 3g, i ordered a new one, but i dont think it comes with that metal backplate, do i have to order a seperate one, or is there a way to remove the old one from the orignal lcd?

STOP this is how to wreck your iphone. All u need to do to replace the lcd is remove the 2 screws and carefully lift the glass from the home button end with a sucker (or a blob of epoxy if the screen is cracked). Disconnect 3 ribbon cables, remove 6 tiny screws from metal frame on screen, pull sides of outer main frame away from sides of inner lcd frame to SIMPLY release lcd...do not use a tool to try levering the lcd you will break it. Heat glass with hairdryer for +5mins. Easy!

there's just 2 side strips of adhesive holding the screen to the blackplate. Remove and reuse backplate...new screen should have the strips (they are only 1mm wide). Cable end of lcd is same end as backplate tabs...line up the projections on the lcd with the holes in the backplate.

@boomboom3000 theres adhesive sticking the two together, you gotta heat it up with a hairdryer

wooooo bon jovii

lol he told us how to take it apart, but not to put it back together.

Bon Jovi baby!

Why WOULDNT I feel free to put pause anytime I want, tell me?

Hi. A few months ago I bought and replaced my iphone's digitazer. It worked ok, then the LCD went gray, I thought it was a matter of replacing it aswell sou I did that. Problem is the new one also appears gray all the time. What should I do now. Please help!

Go to your address bar, after the word YOU and before the word TUBE, type in "win" then press enter

@fbxcore Agreed, while this is required for the iPhone 4 it is not at all necessary with the 3G/3GS

I've watched half a dozen iPhone repair videos, and this is, by far, the best!
