What could be the problem if my iPhone 5 screen replacement doesn’t fit? I notice that the glass is separated from the actual frame of the screen replacement but even still if that was glued or fastened properly, shouldn’t it still remain flat? I think the fact that it still sits awkwardly outward like that might reveal a deeper issue. Thoughts? Thank you. See Photo
Hi everyone, it has been quite awhile but I am sorry to say that that phone was a lost cause, however, I ran into the same exact issue on another phone and realized that the front rear camera and earpiece chord were positioned underneath the aluminum plate on the digitizer when really the chord needed to be on top of it. It is what fits into the tiny rubber circle at the top of the phone. Anyway, that fixed it! FYI, I did get a refund for the frame even though it was my fault! I kept putting new ones on and the same thing would happen over and over. These tiny things can ruin everything on these tiny complicated machines.
Couple things to look at. The rear camera is on that side of the phone. It is possible the camera was not sitting flush in the frame when the screen was reassembled. Remove the screen and check the camera. The other thing is that the screen assembly was just not seated completely into the frame during reassembly. Ensure that when you reassemble, start at the top, get the screen seated into the frame good, then continue seating the frame, working down towards the bottom.
Yes the glass has broken away from the frame I would ask the vendor for a refund
Next time buy a oem product (as u know red one is not part of the game :) )
I too had a problem, at the home end. I have a great deal of experience with such assemblies and still this one was very wrong. The disassembly was clean and reassembly was perfect, rite down to the unblemished aluminum edge at the bottom. It was a bit befuddling, so I had repeatedly disassembled and reassembled. Logically I couldn’t believe the screen wouldn’t fit, so many times. I tried removing some of the plastic around the inside bottom edge to give the thing a rounded smooth start. Still no go. Cracked under pressure. Anyone else?
