“You need to disconnect the home button”

Me: what home button HAHA

0:35 If your screen cracks to that point I'd be surprised

It's really not that hard to change a screen... Watch a video tutorial and be extra careful with the screws and keep your parts organized. It's more like putting together legos more than it being like surgery. Don' let these people discourage you.

The cost of the DIY kit added to the hours of frustration might be worth the practice. I won’t be able to fix them all but after a few or too many I’ll learn what to look for and either not waste time or be able to fix.

"DIY fix"? -
No, this video is about 'DIY replace' broken phone screen

The solution to all problems:
Leave iPhone to die and move to Galaxy.

If she thinks this is hard, she should try being a mechanic. Acting like it's impossible to do. No it's because you don't know what the hell you're doing. It's not magic. If someone else can repair it then anyone can.

sounds like a trick ad for a phone repair biz..try, fail & pay for a pro repair after all - that might even cost more than the phone itself did.😐

Ahahahaha those freakin tiny screws.. ben there.. never again!!

Of course the live media would make it sound like it's something just slightly too complicated for the everyday job. We as a society have become entirely too dependent is dependent on structure...

Lol this was bs when it was aired back in the day and was probably a fear mongering campaign sponsored by a smartphone company before they began physically preventing people from repairing their own phones later without 'approved'($$$) replacement parts. However these days it is absolutely true with how parts are tightly glued together and every cable or screw is practically boobytrapped to damage your phone further with the slightest misstep. Even most seasoned repair guys wouldn't risk repairing their own devices anymore if it's in warranty, whereas before they did it for fun because it was easy.

This shitty design trend has also been generating a large amount of e-waste while we are in a silicone shortage. Phone manufacturers have gotten so shady that the EU had to actually step in and force them to make their phones repairable.

Keep in mind so you don't waste your money, like buying a repair kit that I will probably toss out the window.

[cain.]

$50?! I can do that for a fraction of the price lmao
