The process of separating alcohol from the wash is called - distillation or alcohol stripping process. (article for persons +18!)

Almost all of Apple's new phones are bestsellers. They are very popular and have won the hearts of most consumers forever. These gadgets are very reliable, functional and convenient. Contrary to their qualities, all iPhones, like all other smartphones, can break. More often the consumer is to blame. In a large number of cases, you can repair the iPhone with your own hands, but it is better to contact the service center specialists. Apple-Restore , they can use the new service for calling an Apple technician repairman to your home, work or other place convenient for you for free.

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 dropping the phone 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 building 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.

Here is a video instruction for self-repairing iPhone 5. Select your device and see how to disassemble the phone and correctly replace the damaged part. We will show you how to fold the phone back.

We are always happy to help you.

According to many surveys, the iPhone is the most popular phone in the world today. Popularity did not come by itself. To achieve it, first of all, a well-thought-out advertising company was created. Not the least factor in the whole work was the impeccable quality of the device. Together, these two aspects played a role in the promotion of iPhones.It is known that the owners of such devices very rarely contact service centers due to a factory defect, since it is almost completely absent.

If the creators reacted to the production of the iPhone very responsibly, then not every user can boast of careful use of the phone. Therefore, breakdowns occur quite often (through the fault of the buyer). In service centers, breakdowns such as broken touchscreens and moisture inside the phone are most often recorded. Such a disaster can overtake any Apple device. You can find a list of malfunctions that most often occur due to the fault of iPhone users on the website

Given the high cost of repair services, there are cases of self-troubleshooting of smartphones. Craftsmen who know a little about the Internet think that they will resurrect their phone with the help of search engines and numerous forums. Nobody can become a professional just by typing the phrase "repairing an iPhone". The iPhone is a complicated technique, therefore, along the way, the positive and negative sides of the “handyman at home” begin to emerge.

The main advantage of home renovation is that it is completely free (if the owner is able to cope with the task at hand). In most cases, in practice, it turns out that later, after such repair work, you have to pay a larger amount than that which was originally supposed.

The most common mistake is replacing the touchscreen yourself. In order to really repair the touchscreen (or protective glass), you will need special equipment and tools, which, most likely, you simply cannot find. You will succeed in replacing the screen, but how long it will last will be known only along the way. After independent interventions, you will only have to believe that this period will be as long as possible.

And most importantly, after home repairs, the factory warranty will no longer be valid and if you need to carry out repairs at a service center, then all work will only be paid. Although there are such “home repairmen”, after which even the service center will not be able to help the device.

But I would like to clarify that there are problems that almost every iPhone owner can solve: outdated software. You can update it yourself, however, it is worth using licensed programs recommended by the manufacturer.

After a large amount of information, I still want to say that it is better to entrust the repair of an iPhone to knowledgeable people. While you can try if you are a risk-taker, remember that you can end up paying a lot of money as a result.

No one can insure even the most expensive phone against breakage. An abundance of video materials on DIY iPhone repair, laid out in the public domain on the world wide web, often encourages smartphone owners to start repairing them on their own. Watching any video in which the wizards replace the power and go to the desktop buttons, eliminate various other problems, users try to keep up with every movement after the service engineers.At the same time, they do not always realize that such educational videos are laid out on the network, first of all, not for ordinary users, but for specialists with practical experience in restoring the device's working capacity.

Why DIY iPhone repair does more harm than good

Desire to fulfill DIY iPhone 6 plus, 5s, 4s repair most often begins to visit smartphone owners after visiting one or several service centers and getting acquainted with the cost of their services, which, depending on the type of breakdown, can cost more than one thousand rubles. However, self-repair can be fraught with the owner of the phone:

• Damage to expensive technology. Modern smartphones are complex electronic devices, all the details of which are inextricably linked. Therefore, starting to repair one, a novice repairman can disable the other, which will invariably entail additional repairs.
• Loss of warranty obligations. Taking into account that the warranty does not cover all types of breakdowns, sometimes users try to fix some of them on their own, poorly aware of the fact that such an intervention deprives their phone of the right to warranty service.
• The extra costs of purchasing a special tool that you may never use again. The basic list of necessary equipment includes: a special spatula for prying, a suction cup for removing the screen module, a screwdriver, tweezers. The cost of purchasing an original instrument is usually not justified.
• A waste of time. Without practical experience, it can take more than one hour to completely disassemble a smartphone and how long it will take to complete assembly operations in reverse order. While most of the repair operations in the service center do not take more than one hour and can be performed in the presence of the client.

However, all of the above does not save them from breakdowns: as a result of mechanical damage, contact with water and careless use, an expensive device can fail for a long time.

To bring your broken device back to life, you will most likely need iphone repair. Only in no case should you try to bring the gadget back to life on your own, as this is fraught with the final breakdown of the device. It is much better to apply for this service to a professional service center, especially since such firms, due to the wide popularity of Apple products, are in every major city.

To fully restore the functioning of the iphone, repairs must be carried out after preliminary diagnostics, which will reveal the scale and cost of restoration work. To restore the functionality of the "apple" smartphone, the following types of work can be performed:

• cleaning the device after water, dust or sand gets into it;
• replacement of structural elements (glass, buttons, microphone, speaker, camera or antenna);
• work with software (setting up and flashing iOs);
• soldering the motherboard or connectors;
• battery replacement and much more.

IPhone repair in terms of price and duration depends on the type of repair and the qualifications of the company's employees. For example, replacing glass and display takes about 20 minutes and costs about 5 thousand rubles.Replacing the battery takes about an hour and costs 1,500 rubles.

Some service centers, trying to attract more customers, dump (offer prices for services significantly lower than market prices).

But it is not recommended to use the services of such firms, since the quality of repairs in them leaves much to be desired. And instead of a repaired gadget, you can only get wasted money and a non-working smartphone.

It has been said a thousand times: do not self-medicate, but still there are people who think that there is nothing difficult in repairing an iPhone. The Internet is replete with sites with instructions on how to replace the screen in an iPhone, or change the battery in an iPhone 6, and YouTube is full of videos on the topic “how to disassemble an iphone”.

This leads to the fact that everyone with a screwdriver begins to consider themselves an electronic repair engineer, which is not the case.
First, the obvious: how to disassemble the iPhone full of instructions, but how to put it back, there is practically no information. And the steps in reverse order are not always correct or obvious.
Secondly, even a simple mechanical repair of digital equipment, for example, replacing a display, implies not only the presence of a tool to open the iPhone, but also requires an ESD protected workplace so that an accidental static electric discharge does not damage the electronic components on the motherboard in the smartphone.

Further more:
The modern iPhone is the result of design and engineering ideas: huge functionality in a small package. A lot of screws of different sizes, which by the eye seem to be the same size, and the holes where the screws are screwed are of different depths.
Without knowing the nuances, such a would-be master will randomly screw in the screws, assembling the iPhone after replacing the display, and then he will sit and wonder why the iPhone just worked, and now, after replacing the screen and subsequent assembly, there is no image in the iPhone. And there is no image in the iPhone because under the sleeves, where the fastening screws are screwed in, there are conductive paths connected just with the display. And this repairer, having screwed in a longer screw, damaged them. Rebuilding the conductive paths in the inner layers of the iPhone board is a rather expensive repair, more expensive than replacing a display module at an Apple service center.

And there are more and more such customers "samproval", and, if in the case of the iPhone, you can get by with the replacement of the main board, which is quite expensive in comparison with the cost of an iPhone, then replacing the motherboard of a MacBook is at a price equal to the cost of a used computer.

Trust the professionals, and you shouldn't save on repairing rather expensive Apple digital equipment if you want to continue using your gadget, being sure that it won't let you down at the most inopportune moment, for example, on the way to the airport.

Engineers of Apple Service will repair your iPhone with high quality and with a guarantee for work performed and replaced parts, in compliance with all service procedures provided by Apple.

Apple Blog: here you can find both useful information related to the repair of Apple computers, iPhone, iPod and iPad, and read about the curious cases that arise during the work of the service center.

A question from a reader with the nickname himrus11:

Hello! Is there a procedure to remove any minor scratches and abrasions without replacing the case? Redecoration, so to speak.

The specialists of the ModMac service center answer:

Hello! There are a lot of solutions here. Remember, the iPhone 5 was constantly erased edges, and many used a black marker to paint over them. The main thing is to choose the one that will not rub off - the method is probably also suitable for the iPhone 7. Scratches and scuffs, for example, on a Mac, can be tinted with a regular pencil, and some dirt can be easily removed with a regular eraser! In principle, you can do all this yourself, and if you want to restore the original look, you cannot do without replacing the case, alas.

A question from a reader with the nickname chapaj1984:

Hello! Problem with iPad, speaker wheezing and quiet, what could be?

The specialists of the ModMac service center answer:

Good day! Unfortunately, in recent years, this problem has begun to occur more and more often, both on the iPhone and iPad.Owners usually like to take their devices to the bathroom, where there is a high risk of moisture getting into open parts of the device, including through the speaker grill. Also, a blow, not even strong, could be the cause of this problem. In this case, only speaker replacement will help.

If you have any questions for the experts, feel free to ask them in the comments. We will try to answer everything, but keep in mind that this can sometimes take time - there are a lot of questions.

Despite the fact that any Apple product is a complex high-tech device, the malfunction of which must be corrected by a specialist, is not difficult DIY iPhone repair possible, although difficult to recommend to users. But, in life there are different circumstances and therefore, of course, it is impossible to exclude the fact that one day you will have to repair the iPhone yourself. Most of the work related to the elimination of smartphone breakdowns requires special skills, as well as the availability of expensive diagnostic and repair equipment, but such repairs as iphone display replacement the owner of a smartphone may well be produced if he shows due care. Damage to the iPhone screen is one of the most common causes of smartphone breakdown and anyone can face this problem.

To produce DIY iPhone repair, you need to stock up on special tools. To replace the iPhone display, the kit will be minimal, but you still cannot do without it. First of all, you need a PENTALOBE screwdriver or, as the people call it, "chamomile" and "Phillips" screwdriver. In general, if you are going to periodically repair and improve your skills, it is better to purchase a set of screwdrivers for Apple appliances, but this is enough to replace the screen.

You also need a silicone suction cup, a plastic spatula and tweezers for small parts. In general, a complete set of iPhone repair tools looks like this:

First of all, you need to carefully unscrew the screws that secure the screen. They are located at the bottom and this task is not too difficult even for a beginner. You just need to be very careful not to damage the screw heads or scratch the smartphone case with a screwdriver.

After that, using a suction cup, you need to lift the screen as carefully as possible, helping yourself with a plastic spatula. In the event that a broken iPhone display is being replaced, it is best to pre-stick an adhesive tape on the glass to avoid the part scattering into fragments.

When the display is removed, you can see the internal components of the smartphone, but we are only interested in a metal plate fixed with three bolts - it is she who hides the connectors of the cables that connect the screen.

After the plate is removed, very carefully, using tweezers, disconnect the connectors, all three pieces. That's all, we can assume that we have coped with this part of the work - the iPhone display is removed.

Let's take a new screen. Before installation, you need to "transplant" the Home button, microphone and front camera. To remove the button, unscrew the two bolts:

After that, with the greatest possible care, we separate this part of the button from the old screen, which, by the way, is very well glued:

That's it - Home button removed without incident:

Let's take care of the camera - it is fastened with two bolts:

You also need to be very careful when removing the camera so that nothing is damaged or torn off.

By the way, do not forget the plastic holder on the old screen, which also needs to be rearranged.

Removing a metal plate

When everything is cleared, you can start assembling and installing the new iPnone screen. Installation is carried out in the reverse order and, if you yourself removed the old screen, then installing a new one should not cause any difficulties. But, I would like to remind once again that accuracy when DIY iPhone repair, is in the first place, because if something goes wrong, it may become necessary to purchase a new part and unforeseen expenses.Only perform self-repair iPhone if you are confident in your abilities, otherwise, have Apple repair professional.

Taking into account the Russian mentality, I am sure that there will be a huge number of "amateurs" and "home professionals", or just self-taught techies who will definitely take up iphone5 repairs on their own. But such self-confidence does not always end with success. Moreover, with such clever devices as Apple products. But my friend took his device in St. Petersburg to a specialized iPhone 5c repair service, and of course I started repairing myself).

The first step is to find out if the phone is subject to warranty service. And in this case, it is better to use the services of a service center, in order to avoid serious damage from unprofessional actions that no longer fall under the factory warranty. If the iphone 5 is no longer covered by the warranty, as in my case, you need to determine whether the breakdown is of a software failure or hardware damage. Some faults can be fixed with the new firmware. If you have experience with flashing, in principle, you can do it yourself, but you need to check the serviceability of all cables, since interrupting the software update process can lead to irreversible damage, which has been shown more than once. But, nevertheless, it is better to entrust a professional than to sit and experiment if there is no solid knowledge in software.

Considering the high-quality assembly of the iphone 5, the most frequent are mechanical damages, resulting in breakage of the screen and case. The front glass is the most vulnerable point of the device, due to its fragility.It is quite difficult to change the glass in the iphone 5 on your own, since you need to change the sensor and display together with the glass. All three parts represent a single module that cannot be broken down into component parts.
