Ok here is my problem. Ive bought an used iPhone 5, with some screws missing. So of course I want to replace those missing screws and bought a package with all the 54 iPhone 5 screws. Does anyone got any idea how I can easily find out which srew has to be add where? I started with assorting the bigger ones, but below 2,5mm its very difficult to see a difference between the srews. Is there maybe a complete overview or model of all iPhone 5 screws? Thanks in advance!
I went through this with a 4s where all the screws from two phones got mixed up when a table was bumped. In my case, I bought a set of screws for baseline comparison. I took a sheet of paper and drew squares, looked at the repair guide, and wrote in each square a size and number of screws. Last, I used a micrometer to measure each screw and place it on/in the square on a piece of paper. Later, I used a little plastic (think fishing lure holder) clear box and labeled each compartment where I placed screws from a couple extra sets that I had ordered – never know when you might lose one. It takes a bit of time but better than shooting in the dark.
If you go through the iPhone 5 guide list and follow each guide for the areas where the screws are missing, the guide tells you what size each screw should be, a micrometer but be needed. iPhone 5 Repair Just work through it one be one and you will get there, an important thing to note, if at any time there is a little too much tension on the screw STOP as this will be the wrong screw. Please let me know how you get on. Cheers Brendan Mills
Same happened to me dropped all of them
Securing and keeping track of those tiny screws: Before removing any screws from any device:Read through the guide!Write down the each step number that has screw removalsBeside that step number:Write the screw sizesWrite totals for each sizeCreate a “tack strip”:A strip of masking tape, long enough for each step with screw removalSecure the “tack strip”your work surface, STICKY side UPI secure the “tack strip” to the work surface along its top and bottom with more masking tape pieces.On the top strip:Write the step numberWrite the other info about the screwsDraw a line from the top strip, across the “tack strip”, and all the way to the bottom strip. Additional tip: Do not work over a carpet! ;+)
