If one takes the trouble to read the here present to be found 286 customer reviews carefully, falls one thing in particular on: There are obviously a lot of people who do not read customer reviews before clicking on the Order button.
Before the reader can thus draws his virtual wallet from his virtual pocket, he should read the following carefully and in their own interests best twice.
The back panel for the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S are not identical. If you want to repair an iPhone 4S, you should stop reading at this point and looking for a back panel that fits this model.
Apple has used in the iPhone 4 two different types of mounting screws. Initially, there were cross-head screws, for a Phillips screwdriver to (English: Phillips) requires the size 000. Later, 5-point "Pentalobe" screws installed, for which one needs a Pentalobe-screwdriver TS1.
I can only advise to anyone from trying to turn the screws with a different tool than the intended. They are sealed with lacquer and rotate thus significantly more difficult than one would expect. The probability of them vermurksen by using unsuitable tool, is nearly one hundred percent, and the drilling of the naked eye barely visible screws holds even after not boozy nights a fighting chance to kill the iPhone case. I know what I'm talking. The previous owner of my patients had not only screwed up the screws, but in trying to precisely this still somehow find out the same even turns the touch screen into a collection of lovely little glass splinters.
A star deduction is available for the fact that the enclosed screwdriver Torx screwdriver and therefore was too large to find out the built-in my iPhone Pentalobe screws. This is probably due to the unfortunate fact that the term "TS" For some inexplicable reason is used also for Torx screws, which leads sometimes like to Verwechlsungen. In my case it was not so tragic, because the screws were screwed up anyway, and I had to mill under the microscope with a mini-mills a slot in the screw heads in order to then remove the screws with a self-filed cope screwdriver can. Who does not have this opportunity are requested to check before buying the seller that the screws that hold the back cover of his patients can actually be screwed with the supplied tool.
Several reviewers have expressed the suspicion that this is probably not back panel of glass. I share this suspicion, feel this circumstance but rather as an advantage, because it probably is thus significantly less susceptible to breakage.
Before installing you should ensure that the faulty Backpanel both metal parts, in which the bolts were screwed, are still present. Is not the case, they are possibly broken in iPhone and thereby preventing not only highly successful installation of the new back panel, but cause more impatient assessed service technicians sometimes also, by pressing too hard the new spare part identical to the same happy hunting grounds to carry , in the recently broken the back panel has been received.
Many reviewers point out that on the camera lens is a protector. So you're right. Really. Large Indian parole. Even if you do not see with the naked eye. She is there. And it has to be removed after the large protective tape has been removed. This is the safest with a wooden toothpick. Pins, sharp knives and other unsuitable tools should stay in the drawer, if you do not want to risk scratching the lens while removing the foil. The good news is, dasss the film sits on the outside of the lens and therefore can not be removed after installation.
The delivery took place in my case by the way rapidly. On Thursday two clock the back panel the next day by 13 clock was ordered delivered in the morning. The practice can not be topped in normal mail delivery.
