so my buddy recently just dropped his iPhone 5 it wasn't even now a very far drop but it deemed this side just enough so that there was a small gap or dust could enter inside of the phone and so his front camera and his back camera have dust all over them so today I'm going to show you how to take apart the iPhone 5 remove the dust and put it all back together and it's actually pretty simple you just need a basic set of tools I'll put a link in the video description below to the tools that you need to buy they're only like 10 bucks I think anyway take out the bottom two screws on the on the iPhone they're the same screws that you would have used with an iPhone 4 let the pentalobe screwdriver then attach the suction cup and then if you have a plastic tool you know go ahead and use that to pry the screen up the metal one fits in there a little bit easier but you do just crash your phone just a tiny bit so use the plastic one if you have one then once the screen is lifted up using the suction cup there's three screws on this metal plate that hold down the ribbon cables so remove the three screws there's two smaller ones at the bottom and there's one slightly longer screw at the top once you get those three screws undone the metal plate lifts up and there's three ribbon cables connected and they just kind of unsnap just like LEGO pieces so using your flat plastic non marring tool just kind of lift those up and away and then the screen itself detaches from the iPhone so now for the back camera it just lifts up just like this don't pull it all the way away from the phone just kind of tilt it back at a 90 degrees and then usually either a air compressor or compressed air inside of a can which I'll link in the video description below to blow out the excess dust um you don't actually need to touch it or anything usually the air just kind of pulls everything away and leaves it super clean then just pop the camera back into place and it just kind of it'll sit snugly once you press it back in now the front cam is a little harder and there's two screws holding on the the metal plate this is the speaker right here so I'll remove the speaker and the metal plate together and then the camera assembly lifts out sideways so you can see there there's a bunch of dust on the lens so I'm going to blow it all the way inside and outside and then the camera assembly just snaps right back into place again I had to use a pair of tweezers to get the light sensor on position correctly and then you put the earpiece back in I remember that your piece is a magnets when you're trying to screw the screws back in it will mess with you just a little bit so get those two screws back in place and that's basically it to reattach the front screen of the iPhone 5 grab the ribbon cables and they just they snap back into place just like Legos would I use my non marring tool to kind of press them gently into place and then just use my finger to make sure they were all secure then grab your little metal plate put it back on top remember the three screws you have there's one that's slightly longer than the other ones and that screw goes on the top the other two screws go on the bottom I'm going to speed this up just a little bit anyway like I mention before you know all the tools you'll need will be in the video description below as low as well as the compressed air Amazon is usually the best place to buy it you know screen replacements or speaker replacements or basically anything and you anything you take the screen put the top in first and then press along the sides to snap the rest of it into place and then don't forget to put the bottom two screws the pentalobe screws back into place as well anyway I I put up videos you know at least once a week you know high tech phone repairs new phone reviews new releases so if you have any questions make sure leave in the comments I don't forget to like this video if it helped you and don't forget to subscribe I like knowing now who I help there you go thanks for watching
