iPhone 5 is no longer working

Question

iPhone 5 is no longer working

I dropped my phone and as I went to pick it up, the screen gradually dimmed. Then it went black. I plugged in the charger to jump start it but the screen did not stay on. I opened the phone to see the content. The display connectors were loose and so I have reconnected them. I have checked all the connectors inside the phone including the battery's and everything else was intact. I have put the phone together and let it charge for a couple of hours. It still did not work. The phone is now a dud. Shall I attempt to fix it or just destroy the phone?

Any advice?

Thanks.

Cheers Ajeethaa

Sorry, but since you decided to open the the phone yourself, Apple will not service the device anymore. Your only option would be looking for an independent repair shop, and hope that they can fix the damage.

Hi Ingo1127,

Thank you for your answer. I sorta knew it that Apple would not fix it. I have done a check with them. But my question is in line with the worth of fixing it. iPhone 5 will no longer receive support from Apple. I just would like to give the phone another chance of life! 😀

The people at the repair shop should be able to diagnose, if fixing it still a possibility, or if replacing it would be better.

Dropping the phone might have damaged other hardware as well.
