It’s nice to see how durable the iPhone’s screen is. I don’t think I could bear the incessant whining again like we had with the Nano.
Watching this video also helps people understand why there is not a user replaceable battery in iPhone.. The inards are truly a engineering design marvel..
From the site:
“Your doing this repair at your own risk”
Wow. English skillz.
Yikes!!!
mw : effort

From the video:
“Your are performing this repair at your own risk”
What about putting it back together?
Also from the video:
“Be careful when pulling the motherboard, there is cables underneath.”
Where did these guys learn English?
@akerbs,
I’d assume it’s just the same in reverse.
“Take Apart Directions”? wow.
Come on people,
They are not writers or journalists and this isn’t a news broadcast. These are just guys who run an on-line pda parts outlet.. Give em a break.. Not everyone is an English major. Sheesh.
I just had to smile a little when the guy used the old ” Apple Floppy Extraction Tool” at the beginning of this video .. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”cheese” style=”border:0;” />
I like makings an iPhone! Is good? No, the bestings!!!

No. Demorez.

You don’t have to be an English major to comprehend basic sentence structure. Their use of bad grammar is something that would make me turn away from their products. Language is one of the most important things in life but people don’t seem to place much importance on it.
No, I will not give them a break. These are horrible errors that should have been eliminated in grade school.
Good grammar or not, they have more balls than most of us here. How many in the grammar police here would attempt to even open their iPhone? I know I wouldn’t.
I would rather Drink some Camel’s Milk than attempt what I have just seen! come to think of it I couldn’t stand my own fart after that, so a root canal would be preferable!
Borat’s boring!
MikeK,
“Be careful when pulling the motherboard, there is cables underneath.”
A mistake of this magnitude does not foster trust – you don’t have to be an English major to know this. If the narrator had said “… there is cabling underneath,” there would be no problem. This isn’t arcane, it’s fundamental.
Sorry, I wouldn’t trust these guys or their products.
Bad grammar is unacceptable for anyone claiming to speak english as a native. I know many europeans that speak better english than most of the americans that I come in contact with on a daily basis. What they are doing here is not rocket science. I’ve taken apart dozens of computers, multiple iPods, the computer in my car, my car’s engine, and I am perfectly capable of speaking english properly. If you can dismantle an iPhone and change the screen, diagramming a sentence that requires no money and no broken hardware should be cheap fun and a piece of cake. People like this are just lazy and ignorant and those that defend them are only adding to the problem.
MDN MW: Still. As in we still have people who can’t read or write.
But they can change a screen on an iPhone.
Sorry, the rant of a teacher.
The only thing this video proves is: No room for a hard drive in this form factor.
Just my $0.02

Please don’t accuse others of your ineptness and/or incompetence. We are not all like you.
What I’d like to see is a video on how to put an iPhone back together again.
Annnnd… have it still work.
Grammer ??
