Yeah, fixing iPhones is tricky. I have repaired a few, and I did replace one 5s screen with a fingerprint scanner and got it to work ok, but I could never get its proximity sensor to work again. Oh well.
I even replaced a whole case on a 5 one time. I thought it would be cool to give one of my daughters a pink iPhone model that Apple never made in pink. (It’s amazing what kind of oddball stuff you can find on eBay!) Never again. That was a LOT of work taking everything out of the old case and putting it in the new one. They never wanted it so I ended up selling it for about what all the parts cost me. But I did it. Pre-touch-sensor, though, so I didn’t have THAT to contend with on that one. I may not be the best iPhone repairman around, but I AM game! Been obsessively taking stuff apart for half a century. I see no end to it. I have a sad story about a Nikon F that is, even after 4 decades, still too painful to talk about. And now there’s iFixit.com that just feeds my insanity. PLEASE everyone, don’t make the bad life choices I have. Just take your stuff to TechRestore! (Wow, that escalated quickly!)
