How to safely take apart an iPhone?

How can I safely take apart an iPhone? I know it will void the warranty. Are there precautions i have to take to ensure safety? Such as avoiding electric shock and such.

1. Wedge a nail file or another thin, hard object in between the iPod Touch and its back metal covering. Slide the object along the border of the device and remove the metal covering.
2. Use the same object you used in Step 1 to separate the battery pack from the inside of the iPod Touch. The battery is the large white square directly in the center.
3. Lift up the piece of black tape from the bottom of the iPod Touch to expose three screws that you need to remove. Locate the wires that lead away from the battery pack you set aside in Step 2 and unscrew each screw at the base of these wires. After all of the four screws are removed, lift up and remove the metal rectangular covering that the screws were holding down.
4. Locate the top left corner of where the metal covering in Step 3 was resting. Find a small plastic tab and lift up on it to release the filmlike connector strip on the LCD screen. You should see another small tab like the one you just removed, located at the top of the iPod Touch. Lift up on this second tab to release its similar filmlike connector strip. Unscrew the two screws that sit on either side of this small plastic tab, and remove the thin metal covering that the screws held in place.
5. Unscrew the 16 screws that border the device; there will be eight on each side. Once those screws are removed, you'll be able to lift up and free the LCD screen from the iPod Touch. To reassemble the device's components, go back through these steps in reverse order.

Unless you manage to cut yourself, you couldn't injure yourself with an iPhone if you tried. That said, if you can't figure out how to open the case on your own, there's now way the iPhone will survive the attempt.

Google your phone type and you will be led to many videos of step by step of how to and also tell you the tools needed

  • Is It Safe To Take Apart the iPhone 5 When it's On? I was wondering if it is safe to take apart the iphone 5 when its still on? I want to fix the screen and I have no way of telling if what I'm doing is fixing it without putting it back together and turning it on. Since the iphone 5 comes apart with the screen first, can i keep the phone on while i lift the front screen away from the phone? Or if i do it while its off but turn it on after its already apart? Any help would be appreciated.
