We're just some folks with repair on our minds...
Senior technical writer, photographer, and tinkerer at iFixit HQ in San Luis Obispo, California.
Like many folks here, I’ve been fixing things most of my life—cars, computers, time machines. (Wait, sorry—that last thing happens later.)
I joined iFixit in 2013 as a technical writer, working mainly on repair guides and teardowns. I later co-wrote a lot of the instructions for iFixit’s university technical writing project, and helped coach a few thousand engineering students from over 50 universities through their technical writing coursework. I’ve enjoyed being a guest lecturer and attending academic conferences on technical writing, and helped teach a few of iFixit’s in-house workshops for technical writing instructors.
If working at iFixit sounds awesome, that’s because frequently, it is—I’m grateful to have been at the right place and time to collaborate on some world-class projects with this team. Because of iFixit, I’ve helped Greenpeace create its guide to greener electronics, consulted on repairability for some of the world’s top hardware engineers, and written repair guides for Patagonia.

I’m naturally an introvert and prefer to stay behind the camera rather than in front of it, but sometimes accidents happen. My talking head has appeared on a few broadcast programs and podcasts, like that time we tore down a Magic Leap One. I’ve also appeared briefly in at least one VICE documentary, wherein I badly needed a haircut and hadn’t slept since two dinners ago.
VICE News chased us to Australia for our teardown of the iPhone X.
I do enjoy anonymously sharing my photos though, and they frequently pop up in the tech press. That’s one of the really fun aspects of this job—you never know when your work might help a technology journalist explain a battery problem, solve a waterproofing mystery, or break down a new laptop design.
In my free time I enjoy scuba diving and reading (and sometimes writing) a lot of science fiction nonsense.

It’s in the tools list at the top of the guide.
Agreed, I don’t think the linked datasheet has/had any relationship to what’s in the teardown. Removed.

Thanks for your concern. I’m sorry if my comment came across as flippant or dismissive. By way of background: There are a lot of companies deceiving customers by selling “glass-only” screen repair kits for $10-20 that are in reality a waste of money—the repair requires expensive equipment and a fair bit of practice/skill. Most professional repair shops won’t attempt it, and those that do usually destroy quite a few displays getting the hang of it, even after investing in all the equipment. Few can do it consistently and with good results. Meanwhile, we’ve seen plenty of readers fall for the “glass-only” repair kit scam and then complain after being ripped off because we didn’t warn them away strongly enough. Bottom line, it doesn’t make any sense to attempt this unless you’re planning to make a business out of it. Just bite the bullet and replace the whole display. It’s cheaper, faster, and the only approach with a reasonable chance of success for a DIYer.
It’s normal for the machine not to boot up right away after a deep drain on the battery. Plug the charger in and leave it for 30-60 minutes, then try turning it on again. The battery charge symbol on the screen is not normally an indication that anything is wrong with the battery; it just means there isn’t enough charge in reserve for the system to safely boot up quite yet. Just give it a little time.
Where are you guys ordering parts from? Try taking pictures of both your phone and the old/new screens and post your question in our Answers forum—you’re more likely to get help there.
Good tip! Added to the final step.
Right here. Hope it helps!
Awesome comment! Thanks for the follow-up, glad you got it sorted out.
