Depends on what’s not working Mariano. If no power, your install may be good. Sometimes the contacts on the batteries for this model don’t make a connection and require ever-so-slight bending before you secure it with the set screw. Give it a try. There are a couple YouTube videos on this. Good luck. I’m doing my 1st flex cable install with this tutorial. Amazingly accurate and graphically stunning presentation. Love the zoom feature. These guys deserve a statue!

Awesome step-by-step guide. You have passed on a huge wealth of information and saved me gobs-o-ca$h! I am indebted to you and will now and forever, patronize your store. Thanks very much! Darrell

Hey Cliff. Usually, (if you didn't break your screen) all that has happened is that one of your ribbon cable connections on the inside of the phone has come loose or partially unplugged. There are a lot of other things that could have happened but this is an easy DIY check before you take it to someone who will most assuredly ask for a substantial amout of your hard-earned cash. Now, you will have to order an iPhone repair kit unless you have Pentalobe screwdrivers. But this little tool kit can come in handy for more than just your phone. Here's a video that might help you out if you can tolerate his loud voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny8mHGHX... .

There are many kits out there but here's something on Amazon for you to gauge by. https://www.amazon.com/Warmstor-Complete...

Good luck to you and let me know if this works for you.

Did you replace the Home Button as well? And if you did, did your fingerprint ID work? Or were you able to salvage the original Home Button? I hear that's where all the fingerprint ID issues are coming from. Thanks, Darrell

So did you use a different Home Button or a replacement? My understanding was that if a replacement is used, then the fingerprint reader will no longer work. The original home button is synced to that phone and no other fingerprint reader will work with it. Just interested. I'm getting ready to do this myself. Have a great day and thanks for posting.

They are laminated together at the factory. But with some very expensive tools and the right equipment, it can be done. As you will see on this video, the edges of the glass & digitizer have to be heated and then separated with dental floss and then the adhesive has to be removed with a hot blade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VRnOwyQ...

You're not going to want to do this Marc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VRnOwyQ...
