IPhone 5s Screen Replacement

Step by step instructional video, showing you how to replace the screen/digitizer, and how to put it all back together again.
The iPhone 5s screen is a complete screen assembly which means that you cannot replace just the LCD or the digitizer. The screen and digitizer are fused together at the factory and cannot be separated. Don't buy of Ebay sellers who claim otherwise.

Being a YouTube tutorial creator, I know how appreciated good feedback can be. On this basis, I would like to thank you properly. I recently dropped my iPhone 5S and was eager to repair it myself, instead of paying someone else to do it. I followed your tutorial step by step to ensure that I was carrying out all of the procedures correctly and it worked. Your instructions were clear and the review was very well done. You should be very proud of this video and confident that anyone who follows it will succeed, as long as they are careful and patient.

Replaced my iphone 5s screen successfully which was lying in the shelf over an year. It took almost 2 hours to complete. Was bit difficult on some parts. However end result was great. Thank you very much for the video. saved me lot of money.

Thank you a million times over!! My daughter dropped her iPhone (uses like an iPod) and shattered her screen. We didn't want to pay $125 to fix it. We had another old iPhone 5s laying around that was dead. So, I took the dead iPhone screen and swapped it with the shattered screen. All this for only a $5 tool kit and the help from your amazing video!! I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge in this video. Have a great night!

Excellent tuition video. Takes time and patience but persevere and you can do it. As a previous comment noted, there is no need to remove the larger square shaped label from the back of the metal plate if you're using the plate again. Once you remove the camera the plate comes away with the silver plate attached. You just attach the silver plate to the new screen and reattach the camera. Thank you for uploading this very helpful video. No way could have completed this without it.

You're a life saver. It cost me 30 minutes and $20 (rather than $600 to replace the whole thing). Thank you so much!

I followed your instructions. My daughters iphone 5s is working once again. She is all smiles from ear to ear with a hint of a happy tear in her eye. You sir, are awesome. Thank you!

Thanks for this video. After spending quite a bit of money on getting the screen replaced a few times (my toddlers have a thing about throwing the phone around) I finally fixed it myself, with your help.

Andrew I couldn't thank enough!! You saved me over $150. That's how much they wanted for repair. I paid roughly $25 for the parts. Your instruction were crystal clear. Thanks for a job well done.

You have a very nicely detailed tear down going on here. I give it all thumbs up. I accidentally cracked the digitizer while putting the screen and everything back into the housing, so I will definitely have to come back and watch this again to cover what ground I need to cover. 5/5, 10/10, 50/50, 100/100 and the accent was actually a very nice touch, as well.

Thank you, works fine! one thing i did different though is not remove the black tape on the metal plate. i just left it attached and put it on the new one but thanks again, you helped a lot

Thank you so much! This is the second time I use your tutorial. Once when I was given a phone with a cracked screen; and the second time, when I cracked it. Your instructions are clear and very helpful. I'm not naturally gifted nor inclined to do mechanical stuff, but with your step-by-step process, I was able to successfully change the screen. You are a great instructor!

ATTENTION! The screws for the protective panel of the LCD flex cables MUST be of specific length. Otherwise, if you mix them up you can damage the traces on the pcb causing "the blue screen" boot loop. You can print a layout of your phone to keep track of what goes where.
There is a video called "Classic 5s long screw damage trace repair to solve blue screen of death" by iPad Rehab with more info.

I just replaced it myself, saved 50$ . Thanks, owe you one ;)

Thanks for the instructional video. Very detailed and step by step. I just replaced my sons iphone 5 screen following your video and was able to do it with out fail. It was à little bit of a pain in the butt because everthing is so small and i was scared i was going to mess something up but like you said take your time and be patient. Thanks again

Hello Andrew!! Thank you so much for this step my step video. It was very helpful and accurate. None like these other videos that try to show you how to replace a iphone 5s screen with the demonstration of an iphone 4. NOT the same thing!!

[cjpsweeney]

Thank you for this very carefully explained video. As a result, I have just been able (and confident enough) to replace the very badly cracked screen on my mother-in-law's iPhone, so we don't need to replace it.

Thanks for the video.

There were two points that I suggest:
1. 4:00 Using a blade is unnecessary to remove the button, just gently press the button from the front
2. 5:00 The Tape/shielding can be kept attached to the metal backing and transferred in one piece

Thanks again. I was able to see a part orientation I wasn't sure of.

This was really helpful thank you. I hate paying people to do things like this, easy to follow and I've got a perfectly repaired screen 😊

[weaponstew]

this was a Godsend... just got my daughter's phone fixed before christmas. only problem i had was trying to put the screws back in the plate that covers the lcd connections... the connections kepts poppping loose and i would have to unscrew that and start that process over. the last step is much easier if u use tweezers to put the cover over the homescreen button connection, btw. other than that this was an awesome tutorial

Just successfully fixed my broken 5S screen that was last operational around the end of 2016. Thanks for the great video my mate, first thing I've ever properly fixed that is (y)
