📋 Step-by-Step Guide

Removing the enclosure screws

★ 2 x 3.6 mm pentalobe screws

You need a pentalobe screwdriver to open the iPhone 5

Remove the two pentalobe screws at the bottom of the enclosure. They are located to the right and left of the Lightning connector. LPut the screws in the same compartment of your organizer tray.

Lifting the display

⚠️ Warning：If the screen crack is severe, please cover the crack completely with packaging tape.

After the display is completely removed, you can press the Home button to flip it up. Note that the display's cables are still connected to the logic board (see next step).

Put your iPhone 5 on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratching the back.
To lift the front panel, you need a suction cup and the hard plastic pick.
Place the suction cup over the Home button (if possible) or next to it . While lifting the screen with the suction cup, insert the hard plastic pick between the aluminum frame and the display frame and press down the aluminum frame. Also use the hard plastic pick to raise the screen. This usually takes several attempts.
As soon as you can lift the screen a little bit , you have to carefully work your way around the outside until it’s loosened on both sides.
Once the display is fully detached, you can flip it up at the Home button. Note that the display cables are still connected to the logic board (see next step).

Disconnecting the connectors

➕ 2 x 1.2 mm Phillips screws ➕ 1 x 1.7 mm Phillips screw (not magnetic)

1.irst remove the three Phillips screws from the silver cover (see figure 1). Put the screws in the same compartment of your organizer tray.
Now you can disconnect the following three connectors (see figure 2). Be very careful.
Place the pointed tip of the spudger very slightly below the contact and lift it up. Make sure you don’t break off the resistors that are soldered onto the logic board. In later batches of phones, the resistors are protected by a black plastic film.

Disconnecting the battery connector

➕ 1 x 1.8 mm Phillips screw (funnel head) ➕ 1 x 1.7 mm Phillips screw

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the Phillips screws on the battery connector (see figure 1). Then lift the cover using the spudger (see figure 2). Put all the parts in the same compartment of the organizer tray.
Now carefully lift off the battery connector by inserting the pointed tip of the ESD spudger slightly below the connector (see figure 3). If you don’t have a spudger, you can also try using your fingernail.

Removing the battery

⚠️ Warning：The logic board is very sensitive. You can also lift the battery from the other side.

Now remove the battery. It’s sometimes glued firmly in place. Insert the flat end of the spudger into the space between the battery and the logic board, and carefully lift the battery.
If the battery’s really stuck on, use other leverage points to the right and left of the original spot to pry it off. If you still can’t detach the battery, you can use a heat gun to slightly warm the glue from the outside and soften it.
