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!)
