IP5 screen replacement?

Mark M · 20 Jun 2014 at 12:31

Is this something that can be done my ones self? Ive looked a few titorials and seems within my skill set but most of the comments on the tutorials talk about the screen and various components needing to be put together first?

Also, can anyone link to a decent UK supplier for the parts please?

Get Apple to do it, £120

Thanks, I had enquired but thought it was a bit steep so wanted to check if it was doable myself?

I have just done this for my gfs iPhone 5 and there are a few issues I have come across. The home button no longer sits flush with the top of the glass. The colours are also not quite as good as they were before as well.

I don't know if the home button issue is something I have cocked up but others have reported the same issues.

I got a guy to do mine for £55. Phone is over a year old. Looks and works identical.
