There are not so many main reasons for iPhone breakdowns. These are breakdowns related to software (programs close by themselves, the phone “thinks” for a long time), which occurs if there was an intervention in the base platform or an incorrect installation of an application was made. The next type of breakdowns are breakdowns associated with the fact that the phone was dropped on the floor, something was dropped on it, and finally sat on it. Repair after such operations with the phone is not done quickly, and it is not cheap. A more serious breakdown may be a short circuit resulting from the ingress of liquid on the iPhone board. Repairs can be very expensive, or it can happen that the phone cannot be repaired.

The most common breakdown is the failure of the display or touch panel as a result of the phone dropping to the floor or asphalt. This breakdown can be corrected by yourself and not contact the service center, paying large repair bills.

So, first you need to unscrew the two bolts, which are located at the edges of the cable connector. Then you should carefully remove the top panel together with the display. This can be done with a regular suction cup or pry off the edge.

There are still small bolts from the end of the removed panel, which should also be unscrewed on both sides. There is another bolt next to the train, which must not be forgotten to unscrew. Thus, the display cable and touchscreen were disconnected. Now the display with the metal frame needs to be removed. This can be done with a knife.

We take a new display and, if the touchscreen is in order, we assemble the phone. But if you need to replace the touchscreen, then the removed display must be put aside. In order to separate the touchscreen from the metal frame, you need to take a hair dryer and warm it up around the entire perimeter. After this procedure, the touchscreen must be detached from the frame with a scalpel.

Next, you need to take double-sided thin tape and glue it around the perimeter to the panel body. The new touchscreen must be glued to the tape and the phone must be assembled.

Of course, all these manipulations are not difficult, but there is one "BUT". During such repairs at home, there is a high probability that other parts of the gadget will be touched and damaged, the repair of which will result in a tidy sum.

iPhone 3 in versions 3G and 3GS went on sale in 2009, respectively, won its share of the mobile device market. Today, when Apple sells the iPhone 7, the iPhone 3 has lost its relevance due to outdated technology, and it is worn out.

But many users still successfully use these models in their work, extolling their quality and skeptical about new products. Often, such users have to deal with the replacement of the case, battery, screen, sensors or connectors. Because of this, it becomes necessary to disassemble the smartphone and replace its parts.

Some users may, for example, change the case or screen themselves, or replace the battery. So we decided, based on user questions, to write about the correct process for disassembling the iPhone 3GS version in order to enable other users to independently disassemble and replace some of the iPhone 3G parts.

In fact, the quality of this model version of the smartphone really paid off. Replacing the worn case or screen with a new one, you can use the device for a long time.As already mentioned, the first is the wear of the case and the screen, the second is the battery and buttons, in particular, the home Home and Power on.

Many people ask the question: what do you need to have on hand to disassemble a smartphone? Dismantling the iPhone 3G begins with removing the cover, so you will need a thin plastic spatula and a suction cup with a ring, a set of mini-screwdrivers for the iPhone, mini-containers for bolts from different parts of the iPhone, so as not to confuse them with each other, a rubber mat, liquid for wiping boards, a clip for taking out an iPhone SIM card, a hair dryer. Well, of course, have new parts ready if you change them.

How to disassemble and open the iPhone 3G is described in this article in more than detail. Disassembling an iPhone with a 3GS is almost the same as its predecessor, so the descriptive process is similar for both.

Before proceeding with the disassembly of the smartphone, you need to unlock the iPhone, and use the USB cable to dump all the information on it to the computer, saving a backup copy in iTunes. After that, you need to disconnect the device and turn it off completely by simultaneously holding down the Power button and the Home control button until the Apple icon appears.

Then we take out the SIM card from the slot, which is located on the outer side panel of the case. To do this, insert a paper clip with the sharp end into the hole at an angle until it clicks, which signals the opening of the card slot. We take out the SIM card and the slot.

In principle, this is not difficult to do, but some accuracy of actions is necessary. First, in the lower end of the case, unscrew two bolts with a special screwdriver. Then we carefully attach the suction cup to the bottom of the screen. After that, we pry it with a plastic spatula into the gap between the screen and the case and help to disconnect the screen with the help of a fixed suction cup.

But under no circumstances pull up the disassembled screen completely, since the iPhone display is held by three cables, which must be disconnected one by one. A sudden movement to open the screen can damage the cables or break the iPhone.

Lift the screen to gently get to the cables and use a plastic spatula to disconnect the motherboard cable, followed by the touchscreen cable, and then slowly detach the speaker cable.

When the cables are detached, you have two parts of the iPhone. Next, let's remove the screen, for which we unscrew the main bolts - two on each side at the end of the part of the iPhone with the display. If the bolts are covered with a strip of duct tape, remove it.

To disassemble the screen, turn part of the iPhone face down, and at the top find another bolt holding the metal plate to unscrew it. Then slowly pry the liquid crystal display with a plastic spatula or plastic card and disconnect it.

Attention! If the display is not easily removable, do not rush, gently and progressively warm the display glass at the end with a hair dryer so that the glue melts a little, and then pry the screen around the entire perimeter. At this stage, you can replace the display and screen with new ones, if necessary.

If you need to replace the battery or replace the case, then we continue to disassemble another part of the iPhone 3GS. Why do we detach the modular cable from the motherboard of the device below. And from above, we disconnect the audio jack cable with a spatula. The next step is to disconnect the connector and the additional cable. We unfasten the sticker that covers the 8 bolts, and unscrew all of them in turn, remembering which one goes after which, since they are different in length.

It remains to carefully not completely detach the camera module in order to get the system unit with a plastic spatula. Finally, you can get out the battery by prying it with the same spatula.

If the disassembly process has not yet been completed, since you wanted to change the worn out back cover, you must first unscrew the bolts holding the on / off button and the audio jack button in the disassembled part. Next, we disassemble the SIM card holder, and at the bottom, finally, unfasten the back cover of the case.

Finally, we take out the Power button and the mode switch, remove the modules in turn, which are responsible for the battery charge, as well as synchronization. Carefully remove the vibration motor.

Thus, all parts are removed and, if necessary, you can replace them with new ones. But the most important thing is the assembly of the device. Do not forget to follow the steps in reverse order, securing the loops, tightening the correct bolts in the correct order. No unnecessary details should remain.
