Replacement of screen on Apple iPhone 5S screen made by LaptopScreen.com

Shut down the iPhone

To begin turn off the phone by holding the power button at the top and confirming the shut down on screen.
Using an apple approved SIM removal tool pop open the SIM tray and set it aside

Open the iPhone

Remove two pentalobe screws near the lightning port. Using a suction cup start opening the
front assembly from the bottom edge. Do not open it past 2 inches as the fingerprint sensor
cable still needs to be disconnected Using a pick or a flat screwdriver open and remove the
securing tab located above the fingerprint sensor connector. Gently pick open the
fingerprint sensor connector. Proceed to fully open the display assembly and and hold it at
the right angle to the body. Make sure no excess strain is applied to the cables at the top
edge. Those need to be disconnected before the assembly can be fully removed

Disconnect and separate the display assembly

Display assembly connectors are located under a metal shield which is secured with four
Phillips screws. Remove the screws while supporting the display assembly at the right
angle to the logic board. Remove the metal shield. Using a pick or a flat screwdriver
driver gently separate three small connectors from the logic board. Lift the display
assembly away from the body and lay it down

Transfer components

Depending on your replacement part some extra components need to be salvaged from
the original assembly. The home button and the built-in fingerprint sensor are mounted
with three Phillips screws and a metal shield. Using a Philips screwdriver remove a
small screw securing the fingerprint sensor cable. You may need to use a pick or a flat
screwdriver to hold a small contact pin in place while removing the screw. Remove two more
Phillips screws and a metal shield. At this point the home button and the fingerprint sensor
can be unglued and transferred onto the new part. The webcam and the speaker at the top
of the display assembly may also need to be transferred. They are secured with two Philips
screws and a metal bracket which can be popped open with a screwdriver. The speaker
comes out easily while the eyesight camera is glued in and will require some patience to
separate. Once the camera has been transferred onto the new part secure the grounding
pad and replace the speaker snap in the mounting bracket and replace two Phillip screws

Connect the new assembly to the main body

Position the display assembly at a right angle to the body and a line at the top edge.
Gently snap in three small connectors to the logic board. They will make a distinct
click when aligned and plugged in properly. Connectors are extremely fragile. Make
sure to align them well and do not apply too much force. Replace the metal shield
and secure it with four Phillips screws. Reconnect the fingerprint sensor cable and
replace the securing tab

Close the iPhone

Snap the display assembly into the case by gently squeezing around the perimeter
until it clicks in place. Turn the phone on for the test. If the startup graphics appear
the part is installed correctly. Hold the power button down and confirm the
shutdown on screen. Replace two pentalobe screws at the lightning port. Replace
the SIM card and tray remove any protective film with present and you're done!
