My phone somehow got a nano bit of water in it and now the camera and flash doesn't work and the screen occasionally goes black. I'm limping my old 4 along for now, but it's nice having 4g service and Siri. Really don't feel like coughing up more $$ to ATT if I don't have to. Anyone have a 4s or newer they want to get rid of?

You can buy a camera for about $12 and replace it yourself. And a screen for about $20

That's what I'm planning on doing, I have the camera already, the apple store said there was some corrosion on the one contact so gonna see if I can replace the camera and clean up the contacts with some electrical parts cleaner.

I'm getting ready to replace the screen on my daughters phone, and have been watching videos, which is the only reason I know this

I've had them apart before, a word of advice, mark every little tiny screws position and make a note or take a pic if you can, also buy the tiny torx and Philips bit set. It's a pain to get them out and in. I use upside down duct tape so the screws don't go flying.

So the bottom screws are torx? I thought I was going to have to get some special Apple Toolkit for those.

It's what Apple calls pentalobe, but a T1 torx will work, usually have to order a little mini kit to do all the little Philips inside too.

Just got the new camera in. Camera works, flash doesn't. Cleaned some corrosion , but not much more I can do.

Are the "regular" small screwdrivers small enough? I've got that Stanley set in the small clear plastic case.

Nope, smaller. Get the bi-focals out, they are fuckin tiny!

Shit.
