How to fix digitizer on iphone

Now that you know when you might need to replace your IPhone's digitizer, it's time to take a look at the steps that you will need to follow carefully in order to get the digitizer replaced.

Now that you have successfully replaced your IPhone's digitizer it is time to fit your phone back together. Using the Philips screw driver carefully screw back the device together while making sure that the device is connected properly and it feels stable altogether.

These are the steps you can take if you have somehow damaged your IPhone's digitizer. Please ensure that you know exactly what you are doing before you start replacing your IPhone's digitizer.

Many people use iPhones to keep their work with them while on the move. It can be disastrous when the phone is damaged, and the data on it seems to be lost forever. The digitizer is the part of the screen that makes it touch sensitive. If this breaks, you'll find yourself unable to use the phone. However, you should still be able to access the contents of the phone by connecting it to your PC.

1. Connect the iPhone to the computer using the iPhone USB cable.

2. Click "Start" followed by "All Programs" and then click "iTunes."

3. Click on the "iPhone" icon beneath "Devices" in the left navigation panel of iTunes.

4. Click on the tab in the main iTunes screen describing the type of the data you wish to access. Right-click the iPhone icon and click "Back Up" to copy the data to your computer.

• While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the front panel assembly from the rear case.

• Take your time and apply firm, constant force. The display assembly is a much tighter fit than most devices.

• Using a plastic opening tool, begin to gently pry the rear case down, away from the display assembly, while continuing to pull up with the suction cup.

• There are several clips holding the front panel assembly to the rear case, so you may need to use a combination of the suction cup and plastic opening tool to free the front panel assembly.
