I bought this iPhone 4S from ebay to restore it. I haven’t worked much with such “new tech” or phones so this was an interesting and challenging restoration. It has only a broken screen and power button which turned out to be quite simple fix and easy to troubleshoot. I will replace the screen and the power button / light sensor cable. I also changed the color of the iPhone to black because I like how it looks, especially with the brushed steel.
This project was mostly just a disassembly, quick cleanup with isopropyl alcohol, sanding the body and reassembly with the broken parts replaced so I will not write a long text this time. All the cables are super delicate, and the connectors will snap in place with ease after you find the right position. You should never try to force them in to place. Also when replacing the screen you should be very especially careful to get the cables through the body without bending them in wrong places. You will only ruin the connectors if you try.

    • The easiest way to get the screen off when the glass is shattered like this is to use a pry tool to push on the clips in the corners and sides from the inside of the phone. Also, the six screws on the sides that hold the screen in don't need to be fully removed, you can just loosen them. This saves some time, since they're a bit of a pain to get back in. Thanks for the video, gave me some nostalgia for my phone repair days, I did a lot of these. The 4S is probably the most memorable phone I repaired. Partially because of the design with the screen replacement requiring practically every component to be removed, making the repairs take forever.

    • RexPlayzGT because annoying background music is just that. Annoying. Most people who watch these sort of videos are probably not teenagers with the attention span of a goldfish. Older viewers, 40 plus don’t need gimmicks to keep us interested. The content does that if its good quality.

  • It's amazing how hostile the design is to repair. Apple seems to have constructed this phone (and, I presume all phones) to make them near impossible for a DIY-er to fix. As an engineer myself, I dislike that, and love the fact that you fixed it anyway.
