Introduzione
Weak signal? Having trouble connecting to devices? You may need to replace the wi-fi/bluetooth antenna in your iPhone 5s.
Cosa ti serve
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 3.9 mm Pentalobe screws from either side of Lightning connector.
-
-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's display until the whole face is covered.
-
-
-
Regardless of the tool you use, you need to be sure you pull up the entire display.
-
If the glass begins to separate from the plastic, as shown in the first image, slide a plastic opening tool between the plastic frame and the metal phone body to pry the metal clips out of the case.

-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone just above the home button—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
If you don't have an Anti-Clamp, use a single suction cup to lift the front panel:
-
Press a suction cup onto the screen, just above the home button.
-
-
-
While holding the iPhone down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup to slightly separate the home button end of the front panel from the rear case.
-
With a plastic opening tool, gently pry the edges of the rear case down, away from the front panel assembly, while you pull up with the suction cup.

-
Open the phone just enough to reveal the metal bracket covering the home button cable.
-
Only the phone's original home button assembly will be capable of using the Touch ID functionality. If you rip the cable, installing a new home button will only restore ordinary home button functions, not the Touch ID features.
-
Use the tip of a spudger to push the bracket free and remove it with tweezers.
-
-
-
Use the tip of a spudger to pry the home button cable connector up out of its socket.
-
-
-
Once the connector has been released, pull the home button end of the assembly away from the rear case, using the top of the phone as a hinge.
-
Open the display to about a 90º angle, and lean it against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.
-
Add a rubber band to keep the display securely in place while you work. This prevents undue strain on the display cables.
-
-
-
-
Insert a SIM card eject tool or a paperclip into the small hole in the SIM card tray.
-
Press to eject the tray. This may require a significant amount of force.
-
-
-
Use a spudger to gently pry the button assembly cable up from its socket on the logic board.

Using a pair of tweezers, flip the rubber camera cover out of its clip and toward the outside of the rear case.
-
-
-
Remove the two 1.6 mm Phillips #000 screws securing the rear-facing camera bracket.
-
-
-
Insert the tip of a spudger into the hole in the battery adhesive tab near the headphone jack.
-
Lift the tab up slightly and use the spudger to unfold the tab from its recess.
-
-
-
If any of the adhesive strips broke off and the battery remains stuck to the rear case, prepare an iOpener or use a hair dryer to heat the rear case directly behind the battery.
-
-
Attrezzo utilizzato in questo passaggio:Plastic Cards$2.99
-
Flip the iPhone back over and insert a plastic card between the case side of the battery and the rear case.

Press the card in farther to break up the adhesive behind the battery.

Remove the following Phillips #000 screws from the vibrator bracket:

One 1.7 mm screw

One 2.5 mm screw
-
-
-
Gently peel the vibrator contact pad portion of the upper cable assembly off of the bluetooth and wi-fi antenna.
-

Followed this guide, after reassembly
my flash, front and rear camera have stopped working. Anyone got any ideas why?
cheers
gary
If they worked before changing the antenna may be that they are barely seated, try reconnecting the cameras and see if the FPC connector is well embedded
Thanks for this guide.
I just replaced the battery using a different guide but broke the bluetooth and wi-fi antenna. The new battery works but I am reluctant to remove it because it was that process that caused the damage. Albeit more difficult, but is it still possible to replace the bluetooth and wi-fi antenna without removing the battery?
Regards.
