5c Cracked screen

[rmj2663]

Hi, my lad managed to drop his 5c and crack the glass. Only had it 3 months he's gutted!
Looking to get it repaired or attempt myself. Never attempted to fix phones before, so a bit nervous.
Any pointers for good replacement parts, or any members willing to fix it - will pay obviously.
Thanks in advance

Mobileman would be a good person to ask.

Here's the how:

Apple will do it for £100.

I would only attempt myself if I was already prepared to buy a new one!

Yeah, looks a bit trickier than stuff I have done before, but thought you could buy a complete unit, with speaker and home button included, so its only a couple of cables.
As in the first part of the link. That wouldn't be too bad, if that was all there was to it.

It's fiddly so you will need good eyesight, patience and steady hands but it's simple enough. The part prices for the iPhone 5, 5s and 5c seem to have been increasing recently, Mobileman probably knows why, I guess its a supply issue.

You can buy the whole unit on ebay for £50. Piece of piss if you do get the unit with camera and home button.
