Difficult

Mijn probleem

Boss sat on his VZW iPhone4, destroyed the screen

Mijn oplossing

Used iFixit VZW teardown and it went well. One of the slides was out of order, but I figured it out when the images didn't match the work. Probably the most nerve-wracking teardown I've done. Way harder than all previous iPhones.

Mijn advies

The battery glue required more force than I was comfortable applying, perhaps using a hair-dryer on the back of the case briefly, pre-pull? Also, The iPhone liberation kit should be a mandatory pack-in or add-on.

I didn't even think to check the screws when I bought the screen. I hadn't ever seen pentalobe on an iPhone before. All other iPhones I've worked on were #00 phillips.

Perhaps a giant disclaimer or an opt-out to make people really examine the screws. I could have saved $8~ in shipping. No big deal, just a thought.
