Instead of buying a new phone or spending money on repairs, I can troubleshoot to see if problems can be fixed, how much my cost will be, order verified parts and tools, and then follow simple directions in both video and step by step webpages to perform the work myself. Parts can be cheaper other places, but if you order everything you need all at once the shipping is low and mostly covers the difference. Do you need to be super skilled? No, just patient with yourself learning new (and valuable) skills. If you have questions, every instruction page has comment, every step on the page has comments, every device has a forum, and they are all well moderated. I've replaced the battery and screen on my wife's iPhone 6s. The cheapest toolkit comes with excellent quality magnetic-tipped bits and tweezers. My best advice is to read, read, and read some more before, buying parts, actually starting the repair, and worrying that you did something wrong once you are done. Sometimes you just have to let the phone charge a little while before it will boot properly...

I am very happy with the battery replacement kit I purchased from iFixit.com. The step-by-step directions on the website were easy to follow, and I was able to replace my dead battery in about 30 minutes. The hardest part was removing the adhesive strips holding the battery in place; both of mine broke so I had to use the suggested hairdryer + credit card trick to loosen it. The only negative thing I can say is that I wish there was an option for faster shipping because it took about a week from placing the order to receipt of package. I would 100% buy something from them again!

Unbelievable. The worst experience I've ever had working with any retailer. I clicked on a Google Ad for an entire Fix Kit for my Macbook Pro battery, I was then brought to a page and purchased the product on the page.

When I received the product it was missing the fix kit portion and only came with the battery. I then realized I ordered the battery only and not with the fix kit. Silly mistake on my part, since I saw the original picture on the advertisement was correct, but the product that was on the page apparently wasn't.

Instead of sending me just the fix kit portion for an extra fee, they told me I would have to send the battery back out of pocket, then re-purchase the battery with kit. Simply because they don't have a SKU/product ID of just the fix kit.

What a crappy experience. Will never shop here again nor would I ever recommend them. I feel like I was bait & switched.

Why would you not be able to send me the kit!? So stupid.

You can find the same batteries online for cheaper anyway. Dumb mistake, but they were unable to retain a customer for future purchases.

I ordered the Pro Tech Toolkit, the Manta Driver Kit, and the Magnetic Project Mat. The 4mm and 1/4" Aluminum Precision Bit Drivers are absolutely amazing. The craftsmanship is fantastic and each and every bit i've used have slid in buttery smooth just like the rotating head on each. I would recommend these products to anybody wanting to always have the perfectly sized bit for any job. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and can't wait to find my next project. Everybody should look to iFixit for their repair / tinkering needs.

Note - Originally purchased to ultimately have an amazing set of tools to fix just about anything. First project was tearing down my 2016 MacBook Pro 13" touch-bar, and it kept the entire process organized and made it so much easier.

Immediately (literally minutes) after having my iPhone 8 Plus from the Brunswick store, my screen touch was not working. I went back into the store and was told to "just reboot your phone if that happens again". I apprehensively said "Ok" as he seemed trustworthy and nice. However, 2 weeks later, my the touch screen has gone haywire and after repeated reboots it still does not work. I tap on one area and my whole screen does things as if it things im tapping like a madman. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. DO NOT GO TO THEM. Also, my screen cracked after 3 days and i did not even drop it. Worst experience ever. Never going back.

Unfortunately, I used a YouTube video, that wasn't detailed enough to replace the battery on an iPhone SE. As a result I screwed up a cable to the touch screen and had the 4 different length screws mixed up.
I then happened upon the ifixit.com site and the wonderfully detailed instructions complete with end-user comments blew me away!
Also, the quality of the replacement touch screen was great as were the instructions! I am now a believer in ifixit.com and highly recommend it. Wish I had happened upon this site
First.
