I have 3 original iPhones. One has a broken speaker but the screen is fine, and the other two the screens are broken. So I was wondering how hard it would be to take the working screen of off the broken speaker iPhone and put it on one of the iPhones with a working speaker but broken screen.

Basically I'm asking how hard it is to take the LCD + Digitizer + LCD out with out separating them. Is this very difficult?

It's easier to take the broken speaker out and put a new one in. Also the two broken screen iPhones what are you doing with them??

Hi
I have had an iphone since 2008 whuich has always worked perfectly. Since recently the microphone is defective, I cannot be heard when I call or receive calls. Therefore i have a phone that does everything else but work as a phone ! Any idea if and where i could have it fixed ... or if i can fix it myself.
Thanks for your help
Best regards
Michael

Really? So it's easier to remove the bottom speaker of one of the working iPhones? Interesting.

And I was thinkin of keeping the other iPhones and slowly buying replacement parts for them.

The broken screens (digitiser) can be found on ebay for next to nothing and there are plenty of guides to fix them.

Back to the speaker.. I should have asked which speaker. If it's the one at the bottom u can buy just that part. If it's the earpiece then u need to replace the frame behind the digitiser.
 
Bring it to the iPhone Repair Doctor. They can fix it better. Or sell the device for parts. Then get a new one. It's safest this way.
 
I had once a broken iphone. She referred me to an iphone repair. It's mobilephonerepairsbrisbane.com.au
