IPhones have been popular since the first one came on the market in 2007. iPhones are not those smartphones that you can buy at any time, as they are expensive equipment even though they are totally worth their price. Many people prefer to repair their iPhones in case of damage or failure to avoid buying a new one.
IPhone repair kits are readily available online. Depending on the parts that require repair, anyone can order the corresponding repair kit and try to do it at home. It is an inexpensive and fun alternative to going to a service center. The only precaution here is to make sure you identify your phone correctly when ordering the repair kit online.
Here are some of the iPhone replacement parts that are readily available online:
LCD screen: One of the most easily damaged parts of a phone is its screen. With the rise of touchscreen phones that have one face of the phone completely occupied by the screen, there is a greater chance that the screen will be damaged. Today’s iPhones come with the revolutionary Gorilla glass that is highly resistant and less prone to damage. On impact it crumbles instead of splintering, making it safer than regular glass. An LCD screen replacement kit will help you complete work at home.
Replacement Battery: iPhone comes with a high-quality battery that rarely fails. If you are having trouble with your new or old iPhone battery, you can get a replacement battery. The kits include the necessary tools in addition to the battery adhesive strips. In case the kit does not have it, you can also order them separately.
Camera and sensor cable: the phone can fall at odd angles causing only some parts to be affected; In some cases, the front or rear camera may break. Front camera replacements usually come with a secondary microphone, ambient light, and proximity sensors. The rear cameras can also be fixed with a high-quality replacement kit. This is a complicated task, you may need a magnifying glass to complete this job, plus other tools needed to open the screws, fix the camera and sensors, etc.
Replacing the SIM card tray: If the SIM card is not inserted correctly or the tray is handled roughly, the SIM card tray may be damaged. A replacement for the SIM card tray is very easy to find; it is also quite easy to install at home. If you have lost your SIM card, try ‘Open SIM card eject pin’.
Home Button – Your iPhone’s ‘Home Button’ is used frequently and serves many purposes as well. It is designed so that it sits lower than the rest of the phone and remains protected in the event of a fall. However, if for any reason it becomes damaged, it can be replaced with the home button replacement kit. A couple of things to check when ordering a home button replacement is that the button face, which should come with a flex cable and a metal ring, matches the color of your phone.
Faulty replacements can be frustrating and waste time and resources. Make sure you cover yourself against monetary losses by purchasing replacement kits with at least one year of warranty. Some of the tools needed to disassemble and mount an iPhone are like a spudger, a 5-point pentalobe screwdriver, a Philips No. 000, ESD safe tweezers, a plastic opening tool and a small suction cup. Be sure to order them separately in case they are not included in the kit.
