      • If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.

      • Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.

      • This will keep glass shards contained and provide structural integrity when prying and lifting the display.

      • Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any glass shaken free during the repair.

      • Remove the two Phillips #00 screws from the dock-connector end of the iPhone.

      • Remove the metal handle from the suction cup. It's easier and safer to grip the suction cup's base instead of the metal handle.

      • Be very careful when opening the iPhone so that the cables under the display are not severed.

      • There is a rubber gasket between the silver front bezel and black display assembly. A bit of force is required in this step to separate the iPhone's display assembly.

      • Use a small suction cup near the Home button to gently pull up the bottom portion of the iPhone's display assembly.

      • If the display assembly is too damaged to allow the suction cup to adhere, tape with a strong adhesive such as duct tape may be used.

      • The display assembly is still connected to the iPhone by several cables, so don't try to remove it entirely just yet.

      • Rotate the display assembly up until it is at an angle of approximately 45 degrees.

      • Continue to hold the display assembly with one hand, and use your other hand and a spudger to disconnect the black ribbon cable labeled "1."

      • Rotate the display assembly up until it is roughly vertical. This will allow easier access for disconnecting the remaining cables.

      • Use a spudger to disconnect the black ribbon cable labeled "2."

      • Use a spudger to flip up the black plastic tab holding the remaining ribbon cable in place. The black will rotate up 90 degrees, releasing the ribbon cable.

      • The tab is very fragile, so be careful when flipping it up to unlock the cable and down to lock the cable.

      • The plastic tab may be white (instead of black) on some iPhone models.

      • Slide the ribbon cable out of its connector, and remove the display assembly from the iPhone.

i went through the whole process, but my home button does not work anymore. it was fine when I started - its it possible, that one ribbon is not fully attached ore is there any other solution? Thanks for any advice!
