My 17 year old figured this out, and it worked great. Ugh, found out that my charging port was the the real problem. Has anyone replaced a lightning port with any success? Looks a bit more complex. Hope I can find some good step by step fixes. I did not see that on ifixit.

Mine worked great install went perfect. Was like a new phone… for a couple months. Phone may be failing for other reasons, but there’s a ghost image in the shape of the battery in the display now. Very strange. The ifixit kit did give life to it for a while though.

Remove each screw, tape it to a piece of letter paper, mark what spot it came out of. red, yellow, orange and the 3 reds. This way you can not possibly put them back in the wrong spots.

The 2nd one did break loose on me, but I was able to pick it up with the sweet tweezers provided with the Repair Tools kit. It took a few tries, but I was able to snag an edge and pull the strip back successfully.

I have the newer cylindrical adapter, can that be repaired as well in a similar way?
