I bought the kit off ebay and watched the video, now my daughter has a up and running Iphone. This video is so simple to watch and understand. Keep up the good work Phonedoctors.
If you were having trouble with other videos, you should know that this is the BEST tutorial on the subject out there. Thank you for making this so easy!!! :)
Just replaced my first Iphone screen using this video and just want to say thank you. Went great and phone still works. Took maybe 30 min. Thanks again great video.
I followed your repair and it was very helpful. Thank you. However I may have mis placed something because my mic isn't working when I use Siri or I call. Also the front facing camera isn't working. Any advice as to how I could fix this? Thank you.
ashleyy devan Sounds like you need to adjust your proxy flex(Front camera, ear speaker, proximity sensor cable) and make sure it is properly plugged it.
at 3:35 couldn't we just leave the copper tape on the panel if you're putting it in the new screen what's the point in pulling it off? Is it for reach? Also, is the heat gun not needed as some videos say it is. Thanks for the video I will be following it closely next week.
Hey PHONEDOCTORS you completely left out transferring the plastic ring for the front camera. It's glued in so it does not come out when the camera is removed from the old frame. I only know about this thanks to other videos I've seen. I have to wonder how many people left it in the old frame after just watching your video 😨 Also, you forgot to move the ambient light filter from the old frame to the new. I have to wonder how many people left it in the old frame after just watching your video 😨 ALSO, the flex safety tape doesn't need to be removed from the LCD shield. The shield and the camera assembly are much more easily moved TOGETHER AS ONE UNIT. What's up with you guys? I'm so grateful to the other videos I saw that show how to do this correctly.
So if I want to replace just the cracked screen (everything is working fine theres just a few small cracks), should I just buy the glass lens screen? Or do I need to buy the display assembly?
eric123120 If you don't need all the small parts like front camera, ear speaker, etc, you can buy just the LCD/Digitizer Only. phonedoctors.com/product-category/apple-parts/apple-parts-apple-iphone-5c/
my screen/phone is responsive and my phone works fine, my glass screen is just cracked/shattered....can i just replace the glass and not the lcd....or would i still need to replace both?
I replaced my screen and digitizer and it won't turn on or show the apple logo and it would turn on before I took it apart because I couldn't turn it of but if I plug it into the charger it makes the noise but nothing shows up just a black screen. Help please??
I followed your great and easy guide, but once my iphone 5c was in one piece the screen would turn on and display but, it's un - responsive to touch. I've checked and made sure the screen was put correct yet the screen still won't respond to touch
my iphone 5c was black and had vertical lines on the left side when i replaced it you could see the screen but it slowly fades back to the vertical lines ??
Hey I have iPhone 5c att with a crack screen and I also have iPhone 5c sprint with good screen. Could I used that screen for my att iPhone ? Are att and sprint screen compatible ? Thanks
I know doing this myself would be cheaper but I read some of the comments which this didn't work for certain people. but I also wish that next time when repairing any phone that you would turn the phone on and touch the screen so that it is responsive... I'm going to try this and hope that I do everything right
My screen is cracked and I have a black screen with the vertical lines on it it's an iPhone 5c and I bought a replacement screen would replacing the secret solve this issue?
my iphone 5c has a damaged digitizer. but when i plug up the charger nothing happens, does it mean that the phone is broken fully or does it mean that i have to replace the digitizer?
My phone screen is not shattered but my screen is unresponsive. I took it to the store and they said my digitizer is the only thing not working. Do I have to do all of this just to replace the digitizer?
Shouldn’t u be first removing the battery connection before going onto the lcd connectors . That’s Wat I heard from others , to prevent the backlight filter from blowing off
I dropped my phone and half my screen won't respond to touch and there are faint horizontal colored lines on the unresponsive side . Will just replacing the screen make my phone work and touchable again? (my phone is not cracked)
good video, but i can promise anyone its harder than they make it look. everything in the video has been removed and then placed back in its position for much easier disassembly second time around. its much fiddlier than it looks, e.g the home button is glued down, the proximity is hard to remove even after the screws have been removed. You should include this info on your video too
Help!!!! I did every thing correct, got the screen working but I tried swiping it to unlock and nothing. it's like the touch screen doesn't work I've tried resetting the phone and still nothing. what should I do? please help
Spiritialnoemi Never got it fixed cause I have to take it to an Apple Store to get it fixed. I live like 200 miles away from the nearest Apple Store But no I just ended up getting another phone :P
Dookie Brown i fixed it what i did wrong was not snapping one of the flex connectors that are connected To the screen -.- so i opened it up and fixed it. Maybe you did the same Mistake but you have a new phone now so its all good. Thank you for responding. Have a nice day
PHONEDOCTORS Hi, thanks for the fast reply and sorry for the typo in the previous post it should of said [NAND] errors. The reset was the first thing I tried but nothing. I put the original cracked screen back on and it works fine.
What if your iPhone won't turn on because my iPhone cracked and you can see it light up when people text me but u just can't see anything on the screen
Their screens are shit and expensive. They are also defective. It feels like the screen is plastic. Great video, but don't buy from them. (Phone doctors website!)

+ian haughton Hello, can you please reply with the link where you bought the kit off ebay? Thanks.

I bought the tool kit and watched the video. My broken phone is now good as new. I can't believe it worked!
Rachel DiBiase Thanks Rachel, I'm glad we were able to help!

What's up with you guys? I'm so grateful to the other videos I saw that show how to do this correctly.
I did this to my iPhone 5c and I'm only 14 and now it works
My dad couldn't even do it😂
Would replacing the digitizer also fix the unresponsive parts on my screen?
Kaitlin C yes it will.
PHONEDOCTORS Why are your screens so expensive? And why are they so low quality?
Is there a red static piece of protection or something somewhere that can be pulled off? Thanks

Logan Z Where did you purchase the screen?
PHONEDOCTORS I got it off Amazon
I did everything it said..I have it on the charger because I havent turned it on since July.. how long should I let it charge for?
I’m having trouble with this proximity camera flex ffs
My phone has the vertical lines and is also broken and gonna get it repaired soon....will the vertical lines go away if i get the screen repaired???
+Andrea Cortinas I have vertical lines on my screen. My replacement and tool kit will arrive in 2 days, I hope this works!
Have you had any success?
Yes.
Did you manage to fix the vertical lines, if you did was it a incorrectly seated or dirty ribbon connection? Only asking as I'm starting out myself.
Andrea Cortinas yes that happened to me yesterday and when they fixed it it was all back to normal
you coulda told me that the home button wouldn’t work until the screen was on
I followed your great and easy guide, but once my iphone 5c was in one piece the screen would turn on and display but, it's un - responsive to touch. I've checked and made sure the screen was put correct yet the screen still won't respond to touch
What's the difference between this method and the easy method I'm so confused! :)
do you take out the battery?
what if your lcd shield is broken too? do you guys sell the shield on your website too?
florencia albarracin Do you mean the back plate that holds the frame and the LCD?
yes
will i have to buy a new lcd part or do i put the old one back in?
***** If it is broken then you will have to replace it with a new one.
Do I need to do all of this if just the glass is broken?
FashionLand15 Yes.
which kit would I have to get I'm trying to order from amazon a cheap one and I have a iPhone 5c
my iphone 5c was black and had vertical lines on the left side when i replaced it you could see the screen but it slowly fades back to the vertical lines ??
Hey I have iPhone 5c att with a crack screen and I also have iPhone 5c sprint with good screen. Could I used that screen for my att iPhone ? Are att and sprint screen compatible ? Thanks
yes you can use it as long as its an iphone 5c
what about the parts with the stickers? where are you supposed to put the 3M stickers?
Becca Rutkowski What parts are you referring to?
Very good tutorial. Thanks!
I know doing this myself would be cheaper but I read some of the comments which this didn't work for certain people. but I also wish that next time when repairing any phone that you would turn the phone on and touch the screen so that it is responsive... I'm going to try this and hope that I do everything right
did it work
+Chaos Quad yes
Jordyn Anderson thats good
Chaos Quad thanks
will it fix the problem with pixels on the screen
cassie golphin Yes, replacing the LCD/Digitizer will fix your dead pixel issue.
I did everything that it says here but my screen is unresponsive. Is there a way to fix this?
demariawheeler Make sure your flex connectors are properly plugged in.
lcd and the screen of the iPhone 5, is compatible with the 5c?
My screen is cracked and I have a black screen with the vertical lines on it it's an iPhone 5c and I bought a replacement screen would replacing the secret solve this issue?
@PHONEDOCTORS
+Layette Dearmon Yes this would fix it
+Layette Dearmon has this tutorial worked for you?
my iphone 5c has a damaged digitizer. but when i plug up the charger nothing happens, does it mean that the phone is broken fully or does it mean that i have to replace the digitizer?
Replace the screen
My phone screen is not shattered but my screen is unresponsive. I took it to the store and they said my digitizer is the only thing not working. Do I have to do all of this just to replace the digitizer?
+Rachel Leach unfortunately yes. The digitizer is between the LCD and Glass screen. the only way to replace it is to replace the whole screen
my got randomly hot when try to plug the cruists back in for the resemble at 7:29
Shouldn’t u be first removing the battery connection before going onto the lcd connectors . That’s Wat I heard from others , to prevent the backlight filter from blowing off
What if I can't switch it off because it has lines and the screen extremely shattered can I still do it
Nicole A press down on the power and home until it turns off or just wait for it to run out of battery
My iphone 5c's screen is pretty fucked how much would it cost to repair roughly ?
$70-$100 most places
I dropped my phone and half my screen won't respond to touch and there are faint horizontal colored lines on the unresponsive side . Will just replacing the screen make my phone work and touchable again? (my phone is not cracked)
How do I back my phone up? In case I need to repair my phone. So I don't lose everything on my phone.
Set your phone to back up to either iTunes or iCloud
good video, but i can promise anyone its harder than they make it look. everything in the video has been removed and then placed back in its position for much easier disassembly second time around. its much fiddlier than it looks, e.g the home button is glued down, the proximity is hard to remove even after the screws have been removed.

in 2020🥀
Would it reset your phone?
Shyena Cordero No, this repair will not affect your data, but it is always safe to backup your phone before you repair.
My phone is cracked , and I have an old iPhone 5c screen , can I switch from screen to screen ?
Yes
Good tuturial
Help!!!! I did every thing correct, got the screen working but I tried swiping it to unlock and nothing. it's like the touch screen doesn't work I've tried resetting the phone and still nothing. what should I do? please help
the same thing just happened to me /: did you ever get any help or did you fix it yourself?
Spiritialnoemi Never got it fixed cause I have to take it to an Apple Store to get it fixed. I live like 200 miles away from the nearest Apple Store But no I just ended up getting another phone :P
Dookie Brown i fixed it what i did wrong was not snapping one of the flex connectors that are connected
To the screen -.- so i opened it up and fixed it. Maybe you did the same
Mistake but you have a new phone now so its all good. Thank you for responding. Have a nice day
Spiritialnoemi I will check it out. The phone I'm using now has a cracked screen (iPhone 5) I'll try it on this one maybe it'll work
Can u fix my iPhone 5c
When I replaced a screen and turned it back on I got a lot of RAND errors.
Why?
Ian Wilson Try to doing a soft reset, hold down the power and home button for about 5-8 seconds.
PHONEDOCTORS Hi, thanks for the fast reply and sorry for the typo in the previous post it should of said [NAND] errors. The reset was the first thing I tried but nothing. I put the original cracked screen back on and it works fine.
What if your iPhone won't turn on because my iPhone cracked and you can see it light up when people text me but u just can't see anything on the screen
It sounds like it actually is turning on just you need a LCD/Digitizer assembly replaced. The exact repair you're watching above.
Akpana take it to get repaired at a shop
do you have to power off you iphone?
yes
Half my screen wont work now
Anyone watching in 2023?
Prize kitna h bhaee
After I finished it won't turn on
I don't have any of these things
Awesome
My phone not turning on
iKhamiel Have you tried doing a soft reset?
what if i can't turn my phone off?
RotsenTeleVision Is there a reason why you can't? If you can't you can disconnect the battery connector from the board and you should be fine.
those screws are small as fuck and annoying lol
Good video on replacing part. The man doing the work needs to stop chewing his fucking fingernails though.. That's some gross shit.
buy a new phone
Their screens are shit and expensive. They are also defective. It feels like the screen is plastic. Great video, but don't buy from them. (Phone doctors website!)
LETS WATCH UTUBE umm the 5c is plastic
Moises Solorio but the screen is glass.
Moises Solorio yes we know. I'm talking about the screens that Phone doctors provide. They suck ass.
would it still work if I broke the LCD protective shield I broke off where you put the screw back on out of the four on the side /:
did it and turned on but the touch is not working
Seem have you found out what to do yet???
zach kirby yes i did this , plus.google.com/105450932621263278485/posts/7tXnSK9oU3g?iem=4&gpawv=1&hl=en-US
