Your video tutorial is good with explanations. Highly appreciate. Still need some improvement. Most of the time your palm is hiding the parts and procedure. You have to make more suitable angle to shoot the video. Need to zoom in to the tiny parts like battery signal part under the battery connector to show the exact position and fitting method. Hope you may consider it while doing new video tutorials. Thanks

@Shay - we sell it in the tools list to the right. It should be called the iPhone 4 TORX Plus 5 Pentalobe.

Nice video. I changed the front and back glass but one small component is mysteriously left over and can not find a place for that :-) Can not find it from the video either. Can you guide me to find an explosion pic from the iPone 4S

@soph - it really depends on the extent of the liquid damage. You will probably end up having to replace the logic board.

All I needed was a clue as to how battery's are changed. You clearly covered that within the first minute, so I've not viewed the rest of the video. So...thanks for the quick, clear instruction.

@adam - if you can't restore it in recovery mode, it is most likely a logic board issue.

@sayang - you can restore your iphone by connecting it to iTunes. You may need to put the phone in DFU mode.

Hello! Thanks for the awesome video. Excellent quality!! I have one question. I am missing the EMI shield that pinches between the battery connection & Antenna connector. Is this shield absolutely necessary? What issues may I came across if I don't replace it. I have not had any luck locating a replacement. Thank You in advance and have a great New Year Holiday!

@Nicholas - there isn't a good way. You can sometimes separate the casing enough to get at the sim card from the inside.

Hi, I enjoyed your video and used it as a guide to dismantle an iPhone 4S 1387A. Have you any idea how to remove a sim card from the sim card bay when the release does not work when I use the hole and a pin? I tried dismantling but can not remove the board without removing the sim card first like your video showed.

Powerbook Medic

@za - you should see the hole on the outside for the sim card tray. you can use a paperclip or sim card removal tool to pop the tray out.

i droped my white 4S and cracked the front and back glass and even though it worked 100% i hated how it looked so i purchased a blue housing to have a different looking iphone than a typical black or white. i found this video on youtube and watched it fully probably ten times for it was the first time ever opening an iphone of the 4 series. i followed this video step by step and it was very helpful especially with the tech describing every part. my 4S looks very nice in its blue housing and is working 100%. these guys are amazing professionals. thank you very much for this helpful video. great job
