hi I'm Gwendolyn with iFixit and today
I'm reassembling the iPhone 5s I have a
few tips and tricks for you today but I
strongly recommend you refer to the step
by step guide appropriate to your repair
when you're doing your reassembly for
example if you're working on the display
assembly pull up that guide at
ifixit.com and follow it in Reverse
let's get started first we're going to
get started by adding the lightning
cable assembly back in the rear case
next up is the upper component cable I
found that it's much easier to reinstall
if you start by connecting your power
sleep button bracket and then adhere it
to the rear case
with that finished we can work on the
vibrator after the vibrator we can move
on to laying the battery in the phone
now let's move on to the rear camera
bracket next up I'm going to install the
logic board if you have removed your
rear camera as well wait until the logic
board is back in place to reinstall it
it's just a little easier that way with
the logic board and rear camera in place
we can now reinstall the SIM card
easy enough now we can move on to the
battery connector bracket first step to
reassembling your display assembly is
the LCD shield plate with that plate
installed we can now move on to the home
button assembly the home button is
installed and now it's time to move on
to the front-facing camera and sensor
cable
now we can move on to the earpiece
speaker and bracket with both pieces of
the phone complete we can move on to
attaching them all the display assembly
cables are connected so let's move on to
adding the bracket
now we can reattach the home button
cable add the bracket and close the
phone and that's our reassembly you can
