the 1st video where i see all little parts and their position without fidgeting and endless waits. thank you very much

man i love the background music im just bobbing while repairing. BOSS

awesome tutorial! i followed it to a T and had it done in just over an hour. thanks a lot.

fantastic video with high quality video and very close up shots throughout the video. This video finally showed me where the grounding clip goes up by the power button. I did a screen replacement and the video I followed did not mention that clip and all of a sudden it fell on my lap and I was lost as to where it went. Then after reassembly I had a non working power button. I will open it up after work and see if that will fix it. THANK YOU!

Very good video. Camera in focus for every step needing to be done. Clear, concise instructions. Well-done!!!

You where correct about hard :) but I completed it with no hassles! love your channel!

This is not a confusing video like some people are saying, if this is confusing for you, pay someone with more ability to fix your phone! Iphone 4 repairs are not for beginners. Very clear, crisp video thanks a lot

the side screws with the washers dont need to be removed just loosened. the screen will come out and save u time. great video

thx man you are the best i did every single thing you said and i fixed it...now it works perfect.

Thanks iPhoneRepairMiamiBeach, saved my daughter's phone from the technoscrapheap once again. I'm really impressed with your videos - this one really only lacked one crucial piece of info which was the power button itself, and which orientation it needs to be when it goes back in to the phone (unless you're really clever and make sure it doesn't fall out when you remove the plastic cover that holds the power clicky-switch embedded in ribbon cable that sits under the external lump of metal ie: button). For those that make this mistake, you can google it. Or put it in with the bit of wire that flaps around facing down (as you work on the phone from its back) (or let's say the wire goes towards the screen). This one is rated as hard folks. And you might find it a bit too hard if you haven't done this sort of stuff before. Fine point tweezers are essential, though you don't have to have the bent tip ones shown in this video. I found this easier than doing the ribbon cable for the volume buttons. Make sure you get a sticky screw placement guide mat to put each screw on as you take it out or else you'll end up with a nightmare jigsaw puzzle of so many different sizes of screws (well, miniature bolts actually). I got mine when I bought parts from an Australian ebay seller called "fixmyphone" and it makes life soooo much easier.

Whoa!! That's way more than I expected to do when deciding to repair this myself for the cost of a decent set of s/drivers. I was thinking of trying it tonight but after watching this I'll do it on my day off. I'll let you know how I get on.

Thank you very much!!! You really helped me! ;)

Wow. That's super intense...

You can replace the flex without taking the front screen off but it is much safe top take it off. If you do not take the front screen off you can damage the lcd and digitizer flex cable because in order to unscrew the power button bracket you have to bend them a lot. So we prefer to take the screen off when we do this repair.

will this fix the hard to push power button issue?

It's called hold down the "screen lock" button under assistive touch.

Probably the most tricky iPhone 4s repair!

thank you very much,my phone‘s power button is OK now.

I lost the small grounding piece what consequence will it have without

Good

Hey man, totally worked

thanks a lot video instructions. After I put back everything now my iPhone 4s is in searching..... mode (with or without Sim) and won't recognize Sim card. please help me. Thanks a lot in advance

thanks man you save mi life

At first I thought, "okay, I can do this". But then 3 steps in I was like F this and went to Yelp. I found a guy that works out of his garage and is highly rated - "iPod Repair Clinic". I just dropped off my phone and will hopefully have a functioning power button in the next 60 minutes :) Woooot for the interwebs!

I don't understand how to put the flex cable back in. how is the top lock button supposed to be oriented?

yea that happen to me before. I was scared but i disconnected the power button,camera, lcd and digitizer and flex cable. Then re-assemble them and the phone was working back well :)

how does this fix it?

Superbly made video that reassures me that I'm totally incapable of doing these 23 steps X2, and that I need a buy a new phone Would have been nice to know how to fix the power button once you've got the phone apart, or do you just replace it?

Those saying that the video is terrible clearly have never worked on a phone. Just work backwards and you'll be fine!!!!

It is an iPhone 4S!!! How is this changing possible if it is different by the iPhone 4???

this is what i thought too !!

This was one of the things I did when I completely rebuilt my 4S. Everything's working now... almost. The light sensor is not working, despite several attempts at auto brightness recalibration. Is there something from the part that I may be missing that's causing the auto brightness not to work? The small sensor bracket mentioned in this video isn't adhering to the part of the flex cable it's supposed to be, if that helps to pinpoint the problem I'm having--and that clip that goes over the sensors is missing from my phone. Just trying to pinpoint the cause of my auto brightness problem.

*how to disassemble your iphone without fixing shit

this does not help with just a power button fix?

settings > general > accessibility > assistive touch slide assistive touch to "on" position tap the new icon in bottom right corner (square with 3 inlaid circles) tap "device" option press and hold "Lock screen" The power off slide bar appears now, having bypassed use of the broken power button. :) To turn it back on, without a functional power button, just plug it in to charge. It turns by default.

Enable Assistive Touch: Tap SETTINGS, General, Accessibility, AssistiveTouch (near the bottom) and tap AssistiveTouch to ON. You will now notice a small dark square with a circle in the middle (you can move this square anywhere). Tap the dark circle to open the assistiveTouch menu, then tap Device and tap and HOLD the Lock Screen icon. This will bring up the iPhone's Power-Off slider - no need for a power button any longer

I got the power button to work. After I turn it off and try to turn it back on it wont work. I had to charge my phone in order to turn it on. After it turn on, I'd tried to use the power button to turn it off but it wont work anymore. Any help please ?

After I have put everything in its place, but not my iphone don t turn on. Can some one help me??

I believe you can turn it back on by charging it.

I didn't need to remove the screen to change the power button flex cable

My phone is now in pieces.. I give up

So use the Assistive Touch function. Google it.

This is a very well done video. Good job! However, it would have been nice to see you put it back together. I suspect it is not as easy as taking apart. my biggest challenge is with the adhesives on the power switch cable. Once you pull off the last two parts (step 22 and 23), there is no adhesives on the new switch ribbon cable to stick them back on. I am trying two sided tape and glue stick but none of these will be permanent. When you are peeling off the speaker in Step 22 be very careful to keep the thin foam layer intact. It doesn't pull off as easy in the video. I tore mine in half. So try to keep foam attached to speaker and keep the adhesive on the phone if you can. I'm sorry now for trying this. The phone was working perfectly except for the switch. I could get it turned on by just plugging it in. Well, here I go to reverse the steps. Wish me luck!

boyu zhu- just use assistive touch

How can I power off my iPhone 4S, since the power button is not working?

the problem may be that you didnt clip the digitzer flex cable in properly, open your phone up again and make sure all the flex cables are down properly

I am confused

ain't nobody got time for this

Fixed the power button with this, but now the the touch screen is unresponsive... anyone know any tips?

......

I don't understand why the screen has to come off.

If not, use the accessibility options in your iPhone settings (in English Accent) LOL

praticamente vc tem que quase desmontar o iphone inteiro kkkkkkkk

did this and reassembled and now it will not turn on. when plugged in it does not come on and beeps, anyone know whats wrong with it?

Oh.. Who said I came to watch this to repair my lock button? Who said ? No no I clicked this video by mistake .. Never mind bye !

why are we taking the whole phone apart to fix one thing??

Aaaaaaand...I just cracked my screen! I must have missed a screw or something! Shit

after seen this video i changed my mind lol screw this lol i got scare by step 10 people dont waste your money this is a great video but is really dangerous to put the put the phone apart and back together .

Че не мог просто изолентой примотать?

How to videos suck if they don't include a re assembly guide, anyone can take a phone apart its the little tips on putting it all back that are the most important.

For quick repair: Step 1: Throw phone on ground because your dad's not a phone. Step 2: Jump up and down on repeatedly until phone is is small pieces. Step 3: Find the lock button. Step 4: Good luck...

Fuck that Im just gonna buy a new phone!!!!

Or you can stick some fucking paper in it after taking 2 screws out...not 200

i think this video is rubbish. its clearly titled repair, but it doesn't tell you how to repair, just how to take it apart

FUCK THIS. I can't get my phone back together

To the director/producer of this video: The video itself is great. Great image quality, great cuts, like a movie. But - This vid is completely useless and confusing for us guys who want to repair our iPhones. From second 7:10 to 7:24 the MOST IMPORTANT AND DIFFICULT part of the repairing begins, so why do you make 4 (!!!) different camera angles while taking off the prower button? to confuse the s*** out of us? Sry guys, just being honest.

WARNING! Do not attempt this after drinking 5 beers. I now have a lot of iphone 4s parts.

Power button repair... Step one turn off the iphone... I HAVE NO POWER BUTTON!!!!
