After disconnecting the first ribbon you can lift the screen more than 5”, enough to access the other ribbons easily.

It’s the fourth time I follow this guide, power supply, gpu and dual hd operations carried successfully and I feel and works munch more relaxed with the iMac laying horizontal on his back. I’m lifting the screen with two hooks at the same time, no torsion on the frame makes munch easier to lift it.

Then I put in the corners two pieces (two short pencils do the job) of about 3 1/2”, 9 cm, to maintain lifted the screen while disconnecting the ribbons.

Now the GPU I’ve changed in 2017 has lasted less than three years and here I am to change it again.

Hi, I’ve replaced the speaker without removing anything, no need at all for performing this replacement. Thanks to the comments on this guide I’ve skipped all that inutile, time consuming and risky steps. Thank you very munch.

The battery of my 2012 iPhone 5 was working well but started to inflate pushing the front panel assembly out from the case. Replacing is faster and easier than on iPhone 5s. No need to remove the front panel completely, just holdig it at near 90º is enough but needed to warm the case to soften the battery glue. Thanks to iFixit for this guides and you guys for your comments.

Hello, I've changed the earphone piece on my iPhone5 following this guide but I've skipped from step 9 directly to step 17 without problem, just shutting down first. Once opened I've tied the iPhone's body vertically to a small box with an elastic ring, the display assembly resting horizontal at some 90 degrees allows enough place to unscrew and replace the earpiece.

Esta ha sido mi primera reparación de un iPhone. La guía es excelente pero he encontrado un problema inesperado: el cristal se rompió por una caída y el golpe deformó imperceptiblemente una esquina de la carcasa del teléfono; al ir a montar la pantalla nueva no encajaba bien y tuve dificultad para enderezar la parte deformada sin dejar marcas de las herramientas en el aluminio de la carcasa que es muy rígida. Por lo demás el resultado es altamente satisfactorio. Muchas gracias.

Como se ha comentado más arriba, no es necesario desmontar la pantalla, yo he sustituido la batería aplicando calor con el iOpener y siguiendo atentamente la guía. Resultado óptimo.

Guía excelente. Sustituí la fuente de alimentación hace tres meses y sigue funcionando. ¡Muchas gracias!
