I have to replace the screen on the lads iphone 5s.


been look around and it looks like i need to swop his original home button over to get the fingerprint sensor to work.
I've watched a few vids and it looks like i need a heat gun to to remove it from his current damaged screen.

what sort of heat gun should i be buying, obviously i don't want to buy something that's going to melt anything lol
any suggestions?
 
Try a hair dryer ?
 
You don't need heat on it mate, the adhesive area is small and can be carefully lifted using your spudger or similar tool.
 
i use this :
[h=1]Alphacool HardTube Heat Gun Pro[/h]Works great
 
didn't need a heat gun at all in the end. button came off pretty easy.

just a little awkard with cables at top and bottom of phone, took about 15 minutes from start to finish....

probably alot cheaper than putting it into a proper repair shop as well.. :)
