Hi, I got over to your website via Reddit. Not something I normally read through, although I like your perspectives nonetheless. Thanks a ton for developing some thing worthy of reading through!

I’ve just fixed the back of my daughters iphone 4s but the two little screws won’t go back in. Will this cause any problems. The back on very tight with no movement. How can I keep these screws in place ?

You guys are all dumb, I do this repair all the time, it’s incredibly easy if you just follow instructions and buy a screwmat to keep track of all the screws

My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the
expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and
am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard
good things about blogengine.net. Is there a
way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve recently done an iPhone screen replacement the first one I got off eBay was just the glass (I’d realized this after I took the phone apart) so I’d be phone less until the proper LCD arrived. Anyway it’s together and everything but instead of a working screen when I turn it on it comes up with lines running down the screen. Typing this into google brought up this article. Perhaps you can help me??

One day I was running and I found an iPhone 4 lying on the ground with a COMPLETELY shattered screen and the LCD was almost leaking. So I called apple and told them what happened and they said I could keep it because The previous owner had gotten a new one and never labeled it as stolen property. I ordered the screen and I did the exact same thing that you did to replace the screen including the folded wire but when i turned the iPhone on it just lights up. No unlock icon or anything. Has this happened to anyone else’s screen? If so how do you fix it?

I did a screen replacement and found that my screen was either badly designed or for another carrier because the tabs on the side of it that bolt it to the phone didn’t fit. I didn’t feel like waiting another month for the correct screen to come, and the screen looked identical out side of a couple of the tabs so I improvised and broke them off with a pair of pliers and thinking that I would purchase a good tight fitting case for it to make up for the missing screws. I also had the same problem with pinching the ribbon. I don’t know if the ribbon was damaged or if the screen just isn’t compatible but now the Phone works and will even ring when you call it and th screen lights up but is black, a guy at a local cell phone accessory store that does the repair told me that you sometimes have to reset the screen by holding in on the power and home buttons, No luck. Don’t ever try to do this repair, it’s a pain in the a$$ and it’s easy to botch, just pay someone else to do it if you can.
