    • If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.

    • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.

    • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

  2. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Remove the Pentalobe screws: Schritt 2, Bild 1 von 1
    • Before you proceed, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe screws next to the Lightning connector.

    • In the following steps you will be pulling the display up out of the phone body. The display is composed of a glass screen and a plastic bezel with metal clips.

    • Regardless of the tool you use, you need to be sure you pull up the entire display.

    • If the glass begins to separate from the plastic, as shown in the first image, slide a plastic opening tool between the plastic frame and the metal phone body to pry the metal clips out of the case.

    • If you are reassembling a phone with a separated display bezel, you may want to place a thin strip of adhesive between the plastic bezel and the glass to keep the phone closed.

    • The next two steps demonstrate the Anti-Clamp, a tool we designed to make the opening procedure easier. If you aren't using the Anti-Clamp, skip down two steps for an alternate method.

    • For complete instructions on how to use the Anti-Clamp, check out this guide.

    • Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.

    • Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.

    • Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone just above the home button—one on the front, and one on the back.

    • Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.

    • If you find that the surface of your iPhone is too slippery for the Anti-Clamp to hold onto, you can use tape to create a grippier surface.

  5. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 5, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 5, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 5, Bild 3 von 3
    • Pull the blue handle forwards to lock the arms.

    • Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.

    • Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.

    • Insert an opening pick under the screen when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.

    • If the Anti-Clamp doesn't create a sufficient gap, apply more heat to the area and rotate the handle a quarter turn.

    • Don't crank more than a quarter turn at a time, and wait one minute between turns. Let the Anti-Clamp and time do the work for you.

    • Skip the next two steps.

  6. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Manual Opening Procedure: Schritt 6, Bild 1 von 1
    • Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.

    • Be sure the cup is completely on the screen to get a tight seal.

    • If you're opening an iPhone with cracked glass, neatly lay a couple strips of packing tape across the front and squeeze out as many bubbles as you can. This will give the suction cup a surface to grab, and minimize the spread of broken glass.

  7. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Start lifting the front panel assembly: Schritt 7, Bild 1 von 1
    • Make sure the suction cup is firmly attached to the front panel assembly.

    • While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.

    • Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The screen is a much tighter fit than most devices.

    • With a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the screen, while you pull up with the suction cup.

    • There are several clips attaching the front panel assembly to the rear case, so you may need to use a combination of the suction cup and plastic opening tool to free the front panel assembly.

  8. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Detaching the front panel side clips: Schritt 8, Bild 1 von 1
    • Continue to pry up around the sides of the front panel assembly, detaching the clips along the left and right side.

  9. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Opening up the phone: Schritt 9, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Opening up the phone: Schritt 9, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Opening up the phone: Schritt 9, Bild 3 von 3
    • Do not try to completely remove the front panel assembly from the rear case, as there are several ribbon cables still attached at the top of the iPhone.

    • Once the clips have been released on the bottom and sides of the front panel assembly, pull the bottom of the assembly away from the rear case.

    • Open the display to about a 90º angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

    • Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.

  10. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Removing the battery connector bracket screws: Schritt 10, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the following two screws securing the metal battery connector bracket to the logic board:

    • One 1.8 mm Phillips screw

    • One 1.6 mm Phillips screw

  11. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Removing the battery connector bracket: Schritt 11, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the metal battery connector bracket from the iPhone.

  12. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Disconnecting the battery connector: Schritt 12, Bild 1 von 1
    • Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Be careful not to dislodge the small surface-mounted components surrounding the socket.

    • Be very careful to only pry up on the battery connector itself and not the socket on the logic board. If you pry up on the logic board socket or the board itself, you may destroy the socket or damage nearby components on the board.

  13. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Removing the front panel assembly cable bracket screws: Schritt 13, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the following screws securing the front panel assembly cable bracket to the logic board:

    • Two 1.2 mm Phillips screws

    • One 1.6 mm Phillips screw

    • This screw tends to not be attracted to a magnetized screwdriver. Take care not to lose it when removing, and make sure it gets back into the right place—a magnetized screw may interfere with the compass.

  14. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Removing the front panel assembly cable bracket: Schritt 14, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Removing the front panel assembly cable bracket: Schritt 14, Bild 2 von 2
    • Lift the display cable bracket toward the battery to unhook it, and remove it from the iPhone.

    • During reassembly, clip the left-hand hooks under the logic board and lower the bracket towards the outside of the phone.

  15. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Disconnecting the front panel assembly cables: Schritt 15, Bild 1 von 3 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Disconnecting the front panel assembly cables: Schritt 15, Bild 2 von 3 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Disconnecting the front panel assembly cables: Schritt 15, Bild 3 von 3
    • Make sure the battery is disconnected before you disconnect or reconnect the cables in this step.

    • Use a plastic opening tool or a fingernail to disconnect the three front panel assembly cables:

    • Front-facing camera and sensor cable

    • LCD cable

    • Digitizer cable

    • When reassembling your phone, the LCD cable may pop off the connector. This can cause white lines, or nothing at all to appear when powering your phone back on. If that happens, simply reconnect the cable and power cycle your phone. The best way to power cycle your phone is to disconnect and reconnect the battery.

  16. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Separating front panel assembly and rear case: Schritt 16, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the front panel assembly from the rear case.

  17. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Earpiece Speaker: Schritt 17, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove two screws securing the front-facing camera bracket to the display assembly.

    • One 4.1 mm Phillips screw

    • One 2.2 mm Phillips screw

  18. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 18, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 18, Bild 2 von 2
    • Remove the earpiece speaker bracket from the display assembly.

  19. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 19, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the earpiece speaker from the iPhone.

  20. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 20, Bild 1 von 1
    • There is a small, black plastic spacer underneath the metal bracket at the upper screw. The upper screw goes through the metal bracket then through this plastic spacer.

  21. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Front-Facing Camera and Sensor Cable: Schritt 21, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Front-Facing Camera and Sensor Cable: Schritt 21, Bild 2 von 2
    • Starting under the earpiece speaker contacts, use a plastic opening tool or the tip of a spudger to pry the front facing camera cable out of the display assembly.

    • Caution: Removing the earpiece speaker contacts can cause them to tear. Use extreme caution when peeling the contacts up.

  22. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 22, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 22, Bild 2 von 2
    • Remove the front-facing camera and rear microphone assembly.

    • If you are installing a new part, your new part may have two tabs with holes in it used for manufacturing purposes. These tabs can be cut off with scissors.

    • There is a small, square plastic and metal holder for the proximity sensor. This holder is essential for the proximity sensor to function correctly.

    • If replacing the proximity sensor or camera make sure that the holder remains adhered to the back of the display. If it comes off with the old proximity sensor, remove it from the old sensor and use a tiny bit of adhesive to re-attach it to the back of the display.

  23. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, Home Button Ribbon Cable: Schritt 23, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the two 1.3 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the home button bracket to the display assembly.

    • NOTE: When reinstalling the two 1.3 mm Phillips #000 screws, take care not to over tighten them as they can penetrate the other side of the display.

  24. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 24, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 24, Bild 2 von 2
    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the edge of the home button ribbon cable up from the display assembly.

    • Start on the right, at the area of the ribbon cable between the gold contact points, and work to the left.

    • Going left to right may rip your ribbon cable as the contacts are well adhered to the front panel.

    • Prying directly at one gold contact point or the other may break its soldering and pop it off the ribbon cable.

    • If you have trouble sliding the plastic opening tool under the contact points, flip the tool over and gently push against the right side of the contacts to loosen the adhesive, then try again.

  25. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, LCD and Digitizer: Schritt 25, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement, LCD and Digitizer: Schritt 25, Bild 2 von 2
    • Use a plastic opening tool to pry the home button up from the display assembly.

  26. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 26, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the home button from the display assembly.

  27. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 27, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 27, Bild 2 von 2
    • Remove two 1.2 mm Phillips screws from each side of the LCD frame (four total).

  28. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 28, Bild 1 von 1
    • Remove the two screws securing the LCD shield plate to the display assembly:

    • One 1.4 mm Phillips screw

    • One 2.6 mm Phillips screw

  29. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 29, Bild 1 von 2 iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 29, Bild 2 von 2
    • Remove the LCD shield plate from the display assembly.

  30. iPhone 5 LCD and Digitizer Replacement: Schritt 30, Bild 1 von 1
    • The bare display assembly remains.

    • For reassembly, make sure to transfer over the LCD shield, home button, front facing camera assembly, front facing camera lens bezel and earpiece speaker to your new part.

    • If the replacement screen seems to not fit in the original frame, do not put too much force on the screen, or the glass might crack. Instead, try inserting the screen at a 30° angle, starting at the top. The aim here is to get the three plastic brackets under the metal frame of the phone and move with slight pressure from the sides to the bottom.

    • Make sure to remove the protective cover from your new display assembly as well as the protective cover on the back of the LCD.

    • Note: When reassembled, the screen may not turn on. Try fixing this by plugging your phone in, and holding down the power and home buttons at the same time for 20 seconds.

As far as screens go, with the technology and build quality involved, I dont see this screen going under $200. Wasn't difficult at all, but there are still many steps involved. Great guide ifixit!
