Mine was missing a regular Philips head screwdriver, but I ended up using my glasses repair kit. The pentalobe (5 star) driver fir the screws on the bottom just fine. You must examine the tip of the driver carefully, I had one that is just a plain bald tip, so, be sure you reach out to them and complain if missing the 5-star tip!

Hi Laurie, I was very disappointed with this replacement kit because is was a very poor fit for my AT&T; iPhone. The sceen continued to go white whenever the battery died and needed to be charged up. In order to get the phone screen to clear up, I had to hold the off button and function button at the bottom center of the phone. I just replaced my iPhone with and HTC Desire because my iPhone stop working for about a week and I couldn't get it to come on at all. I would not recommend you buy this replacement kit.

The screw driver that comes with the order is a star pattern that perfectly fits the existing screws in your iPhone,

The screw drivers worked on my iPhone 5 but without a suction cup tool you will not be able to remove the screen. You can buy one separately or just find a different kit that includes it.

I bought this over a year ago, but from what I remember, I think I had to buy the screwdrivers separately. In particular the to open the iPhone 4 you need a special star shaped screwdriver (pentalobe). I bought it from here: http://www.directfix.com/category/TOOLS.html Pentalobe Screwdriver 5-Point for the iPhone 5 & iPhone 4/4S (http://www.directfix.com/product/IP-2466.html) Item# IP-2466 Its been over a year and the screen is still working great. I also bought replacement screws from that same site so if i ever had to open the phone again it would be easier. My wife dropped the phone a second time and its cracked again, but still functioning. I may have to buy another one of these soon, rofl.

It does not. Not all iPhone 4 have the same screw pattern, I lucked out and have a very small standard Phillips, others have an apple patented star pattern, for which you will have to buy the necessary driver.

They should of sent you an email they did to me. They also reminded me in the package that they sent me a email on a video to how to install it. If anything go on YouTube and search up "iPhone 5 digitizer replacement" and follow those steps. Be very careful though that it is not that easy and remember to remember where all the little pieces go there's about 4 or 5 small plastic pieces. you have to be very patience and have time to do thi. Hope this helps!!

I have an iPhone 4 - I'm not sure about any model numbers or whether its locked or unlocked. The back cover comes with a screw driver for the tiny screws that hold the back cover on. I just removed the screws, took off the broken back cover, put the new back cover on and replaced the screws. Easy.

I've not tried this on the iPhone 5, however if the pentalobe screws on the iPhone 5 are the same as the 4 and 4S then it should work.

I gave up trying to do it myself and took it into a computer/nintendo shop. They didn't charge me for the glass since I already had it. Ended up being lots cheaper to still have gotten the part myself. I had a friend that fixes iphones a lot, but he said the slim ipod is really easy to mess up trying to change the glass yourself. If you really want to do it yourself I would try and find another video... Sorry!

I have the same for iphone 5 and it work perfectly. Did you try connect it to cable and press power button of the case almost 5 secs and after press again for turn on. The back blue lighs may appear moving.

I am not the seller, I was a buyer. It has a beautiful Apple logo. Looked to me just like the original part. No screwdriver was advertised or included. It should have been wrapped better so do ask for bubble wrap in a small box. I was really happy with the product.

Adam, can you describe how much of a "bow" you think you have in the plate? Mine has a very slight curve, but my iPhone 5S fits and is held pretty tight. If you place a metal ruler across it and measure the mid point and have more than 1/8-1/4" between the ruler and the plate. Send it back and get a new one.

It does not. It comes with screw drivers. The assumption is you reuse the screws currently in the iPhone, I guess.

If you are new to this type of thing then I suggest you either do plenty of research first. Consider getting an iPhone screw replacement guide and watch the many DIY videos on you tube. If you don't feel confident enough taking on this task then have someone experienced do it for you. For the tech savvy individual it may be easier.

No, it will not work. The iPhone 5 requires a Pentalobe screwdriver with a 0.8mm tip. This Pentalobe screwdriver has a 1.2mm tip used on the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Sorry for not elaborating. I was referring to both the fit and the way it works. It doesn't fit any of the docking parts it comes with so you will have to remove the parts like Booches said. Inserting the phone into it without the docking parts worries me a little because there is little support for keeping the phone in place so I suspect it can be broken easily. Also, from time to time, the phone says that it isn't compatible with the device or that the device doesn't support charging. I find that this happens when I insert the phone too deep into the dock. So to sum it up, you can use this device with the iPhone 4 but it isn't made for the iPhone 4 so be careful. Sorry for not elaborating. I was referring to both the fit and the way it works.
