When your reassembling make sure this cable is properly seated and connected. Once connected give it a slight tug upward. If it’s in properly it shouldn’t budge. I did not do this and when it was all back together , there was no power. Went back in and found this cable had dislodged.

It was here that I had some difficulties. The one connector furthest away on the under side would not disconnect. So I left it , the repair could still continue but you just couldn’t lift the circuit board all the way up

During reassembly, I found reattaching the front facing camera sensor cable to be the most difficult. I would recommend bending the cables to closely match those from the screen that your replacing. I know that sounds kindof funky , but I had difficulty lining it up.

Thanks...... The instructions were spot on and had no trouble at all with this fix !!!!

If you notice in the picture right next to the brown connector is a blue looking support, its has several angles to it. I used a very small surgical hemostat and removed that piece. On my device it was gray in color. I came out very easily, i just pulled straight up. It gave me a little more wiggle room, also, I did use both that hemostat and a very tiny flat edge screwdriver to pull up on that connector.

And again...... Thank You IFixit !!!! my Ipod is back up and running perfectly

It took me 5 hrs to replace the lightning assembly. But… I took my time, carefully marking screw size and location(s). Where I ran into the greatest time consumption was rerouting the 2 antenna cables back onto the Logic board and getting the assembly to properly seat into its proper location. When I lined up the two white dots with the holes on the assembly , I could not get the port to properly seat,. When I tried the opposite direction-seating the port end of the assembly then laying it down to line up the holes with the white dots, it would not line up, it was like 2 mm too long.In order to get it to fit, I seated the port end, then lifted up the middle of the assembly and made like a “hill” , got the two holes to line up perfectly with the two white dots. then very gently pressed down on the middle to secure it to the case. The phone is now charging properly and could not be more satisfied with the results.
