Fourth generation iPhone. Repair is straightforward, but the front glass and LCD must be replaced as a unit. GSM / 8, 16, or 32 GB capacity / Model A1332 / Black and White. This page aims to help users troubleshoot, fix, and seek help for the iPhone 4.

How to open iPhone 4 with no traces? Possible?

Hi,

I am gonna repair an iPhone 4 for the first time.

what do I need to have, in order to make the closing smooth?

A glue?

I tried to fix iPhone 3Gs once in my life (I am new with these repairs), and after I reassembled it, there was a space between the Bazel and the Frame/back.

so I wonder if it could happen also with the iPhone 4?

Please advice,

thanks!

Just have to get the right screwdriver for the job. Some iP4 have Phillips #00 screw, other iP4 have Apple Pentalobe screw. Just do not strip them or it will be difficult to open the phone. I imagine if you take an iP4 to Apple Store without the screws, they would be very nice and replace them for free. The back piece just slides up a bit and then out, no glue.

Hi,

What do you mean:"Just do not strip them or it will be difficult to open the phone".

Strip the screws? I dont understand :-/

So except a right screwdriver and a spudger.. I don't need anything?

I'm asking because After opening a 3GS, I had to use Glue for pasting the space between the Basel to the frame. And this space happend because of the repair :-/

Tnx :)

I just want to add, don't use any metal objects for prying. You would probably end up scratching the aluminum band around the device. I would recommend a credit card or guitar pick at minimum. Preferably, you should use a spudger for any prying or disconnecting of ribbon cable.

Thanks!

After reassembly

The device.. Will the device have any traces or signs that show that I have opened it?

You need to watch disassemble videos on Youtube friend. There is NO GLUE used in reassembly of the iPhone 3 or 3S. There are pre-cut adhesive strips you can purchase to do the job correctly (and this is only for replacing the glass?). You take out 2 screws, the phone opens like a clam shell, then when closed back up you simply put the screws back in. iPhone 4 has a 3 part frame unlike the 3 or 3GS. The LCD is actually attached to the glass as well (best to replace BOTH for cracked glass). I hope you faired well friend!!!

Why not just tell us?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

It's actually easy just remember where all the screws go, what I do is make a map with the screws so I know which one goes where, the warranty sticker I don't go at with a screw driver I peel the sticker off using a very special tool I have, I don't know how to describe it apart from a miniature but very sharp knife, the hardest part I think is taking the battery out because sOmetimea it gets stuck in the middle housing and taking it out gently without leaving a mark on it is very difficult, any questions Mayer?
