There are a few other iPhone repair videos out there... But each one is long winded, and takes way too long to show how to fix the screen. Here is my version. Short, to the point, but yet teaches you everything you need to know about fixing your own iPhone screen. Plus you get the PDF chart which will help you SO MUCH during this repair.

One of the hardest parts about replacing the
screen on the 4 or 4s is staying organized.
So I made this sweet little paper that will
help you stay organized. You can download
it directly from my blog by clicking the bottom
left hand corner. One little tricked I’ve
learned is to put a piece of tape over the
cracked screen. It will keep shards of glass
from going everywhere. I will link replacement
screens in the video description below so
it’s easier for everybody to find the good
ones. If you have any questions or anything,
leave them in the comments. I respond fairly
regularly. Turn the phone off it you can and
then take out the SIM card. As you can see
this tutorial is going to be pretty straight
forward; no fluff, as quick as possible. Take
out the two bottom screws. They are a pentalobe
screw driver. You can see the tools in the
video description below. The back slides up
and then pops right off. I’m going to go
ahead and put that on my handy dandy little
paper. Two screws holding the battery bracket
in and once that’s done, grab the little
black piece and you better believe there’s
a slot on the paper for this as well. Keep
everything organized. Then you lift the little
bracket up and that un-connects the battery
and you pull up on the little pull tab. If
the pull tab breaks, which I’ve had happen
before, just pry the battery out. It’s held
in place by a little bit of glue. Place that
on the paper. And then I just fold the tab
over so it stays out of my way. There’s
a little shield holding the charging port
connector. Take that shield off. There’s
a spot for the screws as well. And then there’s
a top shield; four screws. Lift that up and
out. There are two little slots in the bottom
holding it onto the motherboard. Place that
on your little paper. And then the camera.
It’s like a little Lego. You lift up on
that little bottom piece and it unclips. Take
the camera, put it on the paper. And then
there are some ribbon cables. Kind of like
Legos; just lift up and away- gently always.
These are to the screen, the digitizer and
the LCD. And then there’s this little black
sticker covering up this little screw that
we have to also remove. Once that screw is
gone there will be a little gold piece that
we also need to not lose. Place it on your
paper. And another screw over here for another
bracket. This itty bitty bracket will come
up and away from the board and you have to
remove that before you can start on the motherboard.
Another little connecter and then we’re
going to bend up this other black part over
here just to give us a little bit more room
to work with. Three more ribbon cables down
along the bottom, well, and the center of
the motherboard. And then we’re going to
lift up the charging port connector. Just
kind of fold it up and out of our way. Two
screws holding down the bottom speaker. Put
that on the paper. Also the little black triangle.
There’s a slot for everything. And then
this wire cable just clips up and away from
the main board. And then there are four screws
holding on the main board. Once those screws
are done you can just kind of wiggle it out.
Make sure it’s not getting caught on any
of the ribbon cables. You want to be super
gentle with those. And then the little circle-y
thingy as well. There’s a slot for that
on my paper. Then there are four screws in
the corner of the phone. It’s very important
that you remove these because this is what’s
holding the screen onto the frame of the iPhone.
There are six other screws along the sides
and each of these has a little washer as well
so make sure to keep the washer with the screw.
Now this is only for the iPhone 4: unlatch
that little latch and that’s for the Home
button so you don’t tear the ribbon cable
on the Home button. The iPhone 4s ribbon cable
is not connected to the Home button as you’ll
see here in a second. Now the iPhone 4s screen
easily pulls away from the frame. You just
want to slide those ribbon cables through
the little hole. Since it’s already broken
it’s not too big of a deal if it breaks
the little heads off, but you know, be careful
anyway. And now you want to get rid of every
little tiny bit of glass that you possibly
can cuz if there’s any glass in here, the
screen’s not going to sit tight against
the frame of the phone anymore which is kind
of a big deal. So clean it up as best you
can and take off the little plastic piece
on the new screen and slide it into place.
You want to keep those cables up at the top
as straight as possible. Keep in mind as well
that the CDMA and the GSM have differently
spaced frame brackets. You can see that the
ribbon cables up top are not bent in any way,
they just slide straight in. If you feel like
your cables are too short, chances are you
bent one of them. Now that it’s in place
it sits flush with no glass in-between the
screen and the frame. And now I need to get
my Home button up in there. I’m taking it
off of the old screen, just peeling it away.
Getting all the extra glass off of there and
then popping it right into its little slot.
And now we’re going to put it all back together.
Four screws in the corner. Make sure they’re
all tight. Six screws along the sides, also
make sure they’re tight with the little
washers in place. And that the screen is sitting
flat against the frame. And then you take
the main board and slide it in the little
grooves. It will sit completely flat against
the bottom of the phone. Make sure there are
no wire cables or anything else pinched underneath.
And then grab your little circle-y device
and slide that in as well. And then there’s
going to be four screws around the outside
of the main board. Grab your loud speaker,
pop that into place. Put the top of the speaker
in first and then drop the bottom of the speaker
down and then you can wrap the wire cable
around. Be really really careful when you’re
putting this into place, when you’re clipping
it in, that you don’t bend any of the sides.
Now you put your little black triangle into
place and screw both of those in. And then
you can fold over the charging port cable.
Clip that back into place. Get the itty bitty
bracket on top of the little screw hole. Screw
it back in. Get the gold bracket next to the
camera. Place that in place. Screw it in.
And get the camera in there; click it in like
a little Lego. You’ll definitely know when
it clicks in. And then start folding over
the ribbon cables. These are the LCD and digitizer
cables. And then you have three more. Start
with the shortest one and then get the other
ones in place. And then the top shield clips
in with the bottom two brackets and then there
are four screws around the outside. One more
shield covering the charging port cable. Left
up your little tab and get the battery in
place. Make sure not to pinch any of the cables
as you’re sliding it in. I like to put the
top in first. Take that little black bracket,
get that into place and then screw in the
two screws holding the battery in place. And
get the back on there. Two screws for the
pentalobe screws, and the phone works. If
