It is easy for your phone's screen to become damaged. Its glasslike
material makes it highly vulnerable to all kinds of sharp objects around
it. Because of this, a number of innovations have been developed to
help provide protection for every kind of phone on the market today.
However, even with a screen protector, there are still instances when
such an item is unable to do what it is supposed to.
Repairs
on phone screens are easily accessible though. There are a lot of shops
offering this service. However, one can also do it in a DIY fashion. It
might seem really hard to do an iPhone 4 screen repair, but doing a
good amount of research into the process can make it easier.
There
has been a lot of talk concerning the breakable nature of iPhone 4's
screen. It is a good thing that a number of solutions have surfaced
along with these concerns. One can even choose between LCD and touch
panel replacement screens for the damaged one. There are also a number
of DIY tips provided all over the internet for those who wish to save a
couple of bucks on getting their iPhone 4 repaired.
To start off
with iPhone 4 screen repair, the entire phone has to be disassembled.
When doing this, it is important to take measures to ensure that all the
pieces, especially the screws, do not end up getting lost. One should
also make sure that there is ample time available for the repair to be
done since it can take quite some time before it gets done. A flat, wide
workspace is also ideal considering the different parts of the phone
that have to be laid out there while the replacement takes place. One
can have small pieces of paper for labeling the different parts of the
phone to make sure one part does not end up being mistaken for the
other. If possible, have a container ready at hand in case of emergency
where the procedure has to be stopped. All of the parts can easily be
placed inside said container to avoid losing them.
Remove the SIM
tray. All it takes to do so is insert a paper clip in the hole at the
top side of the phone right next to its power button. Once the clip is
inserted, the SIM tray ejects automatically. The plastic back of the
phone can then be removed using the case opener. After this, the iPhone
antenna cable is removed by carefully prying it loose. It is secured in
place with three glue spots and one should proceed with this step with
utmost caution. The 10 screws placed around the phone's sides should
then be removed as well as the 3 screws that secure the motherboard. The
battery and the motherboard should be removed together, and the
remaining frame is then detached.
Once all these are done, the
damaged LCD screen is then removed and replaced by the new one. This
should be done with utmost care by loosening the 3 clips on the screen's
side and removing the LCD. The wires that are intertwined into the
iPhone can easily be guided through the frame, where they naturally
slide through. When the new screen has been attached, one can proceed to
retrace the steps taken before actually placing the screen to ensure
that the iPhone gets back to its original assembled state.
