Just replaced the screen/display-assembly on my iPhone 5s, using these iFixit guides: iPhone 5s Bildschirm austauschen iPhone...

Quick follow-up: the seller won't respond to me (for a refund/replacement part), because too much time has passed (since April purchase on eBay) and they can't find any record on their eBay account, anymore... (Weird!?) @Ben: I reopened it and tried straightening the display ribbon cables; result = no success. The problem is not so bad that I can't live with it. If I decide to shell out another $20 bucks, (and another hour of time to do the repair), I might later see if a new part fixes the problem. If so, I'll update this later, for the sake of posterity — if it should help anyone in the future.

Yes, search for the EMC number (2210) on everymac dot com, and you can see its site verifies that 6gb is compatible.

There seems to be some discrepancy about whether or not installing a SSD will help. See Phil's earlier comment from October 2015: there, *he* claims that having an SSD increases the load times significantly, (even though -- of course -- 1.5Gbps is not ideal)...

His quotation, (re-)cited integrally:

Just replaced my old HD with a Corsair Force LX SSD (which is SATA 1-3 compatible as required by this model) with success now my old 'outdated' laptop has super fast loading times and is postively flying faster than the speed of 'sound'. Thanks for the guide. Only problem I faced was replacing the top panel which after a few minutes of panic realised the rubber mounted Mic next to the left speaker had risen up when I had removed the top panel so after carefully pushing it back into place the panel fitted back how it should, so beware of this possible problem.
