wonderful. I've watched several of these to prepare to replace my wife's D820 display and this was the best lit, camera positioned, and clearest spoken tutorial i found. well done and now i'm confident I can do this repair.
I followed this step by step and was able to replace my daughters phone, saving me hundreds of dollars. Thanks!
By far the best guide I've seen. Allowed me to successfully replace the screen housing and battery on my phone. Thank you!
Thank you for the video!! Bang on, clear instructions. Successfully replaced a Nexus 5's broken screen.
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! I was able to replace my Nexus 5 screen today without a hitch. One thing I learned is to use slightly more heat than you think you'll need (using a regular hair-dryer). This helped tremendously with those parts with the sticky adhesive.
cheers mate, just spent 2 hours following this tutorial and my phone is working fine.
Awesome tutorial. Just fixed my wife's phone. Everything worked out great.
Couple of comments:
There are slight differences in the models depending on when they were built. Mine for instance came off the very first batch and allows you to replace the headphone jack without taking off the circuit board cover. Your Dremel use may have been necessary because the replacement part matched a different lot.
It was very useful to see the use of a hot air gun (I used a hair dryer). That made all the difference in the world.
You are genius! Replaced successfully the screen. Your video is best because you provide small but crucial details that other similar replacement videos do not. Thanks a lot for this. Liked and subscribed
Great walk-through! Much appreciated, many thanks. It took me about an hour, going slow, to fix my broken screen.
Just wanted to thank you for this video. Yesterday I changed screen for my nexus 5 myself guided by your video and saved myself at least 100 bucks. Keep up the good work.
hands down, the best nexus 5 screen replacement vid. Can't thank you enough for making this, was so helpful and in-depth
Thank you!
Thank you very much! your video helped me a lot to repair my wife's Nexus 5.
I especially liked your detailed descriptions of what to look for and how to pry apart all the different pieces, very helpful!
Keep up the good work!
It's very helpful. I successfully repaired my broken nexus 5 following your step-by-step instruction. Thanks a lot !
I just fixed my nexus 5, screen works after an hour lol. It was pretty simple actually with the video's clear instructions. I just wanted to take my time and I made sure I followed every instruction. Thank you so much for the video!
+MrDicius933 What do you mean by the screen worked after an hour? My screen keeps blinking "Google"...
Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. I just repaired my phone by this video and everything is up and working again \o/! All the best from Germany!
man, your video was so usefull you even explain about the plastics parts on the charging port, and the rubber parts on the microphone.... ....
Thank you.
Great step by step. Easy to follow. My Nexus 5 has gone from shattered to brilliant!
Awesome!
10x your tutorial was very useful, I just successfully replaced my mother's nexus cracked screen, and since I opened the phone I also replace the battery with a new one, I hope that she will continue using this amazing phone for at least a couple more years.
Excellent step-by-step guide. Just successfully replaced my nexus 5 screen while watching this video and pausing every 20 seconds or so. Only casualty is the selfie-camera which doesn't seem to be detected by the phone now so I probably didn't re-attach its cable completely (yes I did transfer the rubber piece and gold tape next to that camera). I might re-open everything and try to fix it but I rarely use that feature anyway. Used a replacement/frame/digitizer screen from the site in the description. The display is a little more yellow than stock, most noticeable at low brightness. Otherwise works well.
This is one hell of a tutorial.. Replaced mine just now... thanks a lot man...
Thank you.
Thank you very much man. I just fixed my phone and you help me walk through each and every step. Couldn't have been more easier than this. Thanks a lot man. Cheers! Keep up your amazing work.
Thanks. I followed this and I now have a working Nexus 5 with a new screen.
Just finished fixing my Nexus 5 screen. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Much appreciated!
This was incredibly helpful for a screen/frame replacement, thanks!
One thing I noticed you missed was a small foam washer that is attached to the front-facing camera. The only reason I noticed this was because I shattered my screen at the top and my FF camera came off with this washer attached(and some glass bits)
Excellent video with clear instructions. Repaired my wife's Nexus 5 with no problem.
Mike Jones will you fix mine too 😟
I just completed changing my phone's screen. Its working great so far. Awesome video and good attention to detail, thanks so much! There's only one change I'll suggest: when you take out the front-facing camera (10:00) , the golden tape around the screw sits on-top of the rubber gas-kit, rather than its bottom. It's just to keep it as the phone originally was, doesn't change functionality but I thought I'd point out :)
Sourcing the screen: If you can wait 2-3 weeks and wanna be cost-effective, get it via Ali Express.
Thanks for not leaving anything out, personal anecdotes appreciated also. Great vid!
+William Dekker Cool and thanks.
Thanks for the video. Easy to follow. Got my phone fixed
The perfect tutorial! I just repeated the steps and everything works great!
Thanks buddy, this is by far the best tutorial on youtube for the Nexus 5
jcla36 Thanks I appreciate that.
@Go Cell Phone Repair Thanks man, I changed the broken screen on my Nexus 5 using your instructions in less then an hour. Much appreciated for your walkthrough :)
Great video!!! Thanks a lot for sharing it. My phone looks brand new now.
Thank you for the tutorial - i ordered the frame and folllowed the instructions and it works now! Thank you very much again!
Just replaced my nexus 5 screen. Works like a charm. Very awesome and informative video. Thanks for making it.
Thank you! Fantastic walk-through. Repaired my wife's mobile and she could not be happier.
best replacement video, got my phone back in no time with everything working. I must have the lower board off proper alignment I need to talk a bit louder into the mic but it still works and the usb power now goes in at a small angle. I pushed it pretty hard to make it flat and the back cover still goes on correct. speaker phone and head phone jack work perfect.
My replacement already had the rubber boots for the mic also so i didn't have to move them or the tape on the lower board.
Dude, thank you very much for this very detailed process. I am grateful and my phone's screen is perfect again!
Thank you very much for the video. We followed each step very carefully and replaced the screen of my nexus 5 successfully.
Great tutorial. I've only had this phone for a day but the screen did not survive a day at the junkyard while I was removing some frame pieces. Ready to get my new screen next week. Fortunately mine just has a few cracks so it works fine.
thank you very much, I changed my damaged screen by your very useful video.
Really helpful, solid tutorial! Thank you!
Now I'm just waiting for the new battery to arrive, it will be like a brand new phone.
Thanks.
Great tutorial man! Another successfully fixed Nexus 5 here!
Only one that put tape on the screen, VERY SMART TIP. Thanks!
Thanks,. was a huge help, did everything step by step and seems like the phone is working without any issues :)
One of the screws was so tight in the bottom part that i actually had to dif with a knife through theplastic and just lift it off without the screw.. At times i thought it most be a miracle if this phone is going to function but all went well and did not damage any crucial parts. Thanks again!
+Jarva Lane Cool. Good to hear it.
Very detailed and helpful video. Thanks to you I've mange to replace mine screen and Nexus 5 gets second life.
Thanks for this... just saved me having to buy a new phone. Took me less than an hour.
I just followed what you told and it was a sweet.. thanks a lot for sharing the procedure.. you are just awesome :)
Thanks for this video. It was all I needed to do the replacement in my phone.
Thanks. Great tutorial. Now I have a new mobile again!
Thank you. Useful step by step. Change the LCD panel. Works like before cracking. Good luck.
Great Video, Always watch to the end at least once before attempting anything like this kids!
TNX. A LOT man, everything according to video has proven to be right! Just follow these steps.
thank you for your great video, I follow your steps one by one for replacing the screen and every function of the cellphone worked and the screen connected well and worked.
Thanks, this was a big help! Some of my clips broke on the back cover when removing it. My replacement screen unit already had a silver/foil tape wrapped around a ribbon that you so painstakingly removed and applied.
Thanks so much for this video. This helped me get a new screen installed on my Nexus 5. It's as good as new now!
Cool. Thank you.
Thanks a LOT! It was super easy to replace mine with your tutorial!

Did it fine. Took me around 1:30~2h
This video helped me for the second time. Thanks a lot for the effort! :-)
Thank you.
Great video, thank you very much. I was able to fit back panel with out removing that peace of plastic above USB port (on 1:57). You just need to put bottom part first and than kind of of close it pushing it down. Cheers
Thanks so much man, do you suggest i put a screen protector on my phone?
Thanks so much again bro.
Yep. Unless you want a bulky case like Otterbox I'd recommend tempered glass. I put it on most of my phones.
I really thank you for this tutorial. I've just replaced the screen. The only problem is the vibrator. It doesn't work and don't know where is It located. Any idea? Thanks a lot!
It's on the rear panel. You can see it briefly at 01:45.
apparently it works now... So thank you!
Hey! tanks, I was follow step by step and every goes excellent, there was only one issue. The new screen has a tiny excess of plastic on volume area, but I removed it whit a cutter very carefully and tha was all, my nexus 5 say you tank you too.
i did this last night. pretty helpful tutorial. just my 2 cents: wouldn't it be easier to unglue the battery after removing the main board? there is more room to work with and lesser risk of damaging tiny components.
+Syed Hashmi Yes. That is a great suggestion.
thanks for this tutorial. Excellent video, step by step clear instructions
Just fixed a friends phone to this, thank you and well done!
Great video! My phone works perfectly now. Thank you.
+Jaimie Chen Thank you for the support!
thanks so much I was able to replace my lcd following your step by step. It works!
Thank you for sharing! Phone works like new again.
Thank you, great video, just fixed my phone :)
Thank you very very much! I have a working nexus 5 again!!!
Hi. Thanks for the detailed instructions/video. I followed each step as-is in the video. My phone now powers on and I can hear the notification sounds (on receiving a message), but my screen still doesnt turn-on. (Though the screen does lighten up when each message is received but I cant really see anything on the screen.If you get what I am saying). Any idea what I must have done wrong or anything that I can re-check? Thanks again!!
Hard to say for sure but usually a connector that is not properly seated, defective/damaged part, or other damage to the motherboard. Did the old one light up? If so maybe you can connect it to test and rule out the part as being the problem.
Your video was really easy to follow. And I got my phone fixed. But, my keyboard is not working properly. The letter O doesn't work. When I click O , i and p comes.
Is there a way to rectify this problem? Please help.
Suhas Anjan You can try reconnecting the digitizer cable but if it's only one specific spot in the screen that sounds like a defective part.
Go Cell Phone Repair Exactly! The part was defective that I got from Amazon :/ Had to send it back.! It was fun though. I've never done something as huge as this! :P :P And I have to say. Your video was really easy to follow that the others! (y)
Keep up the good work mate! :D
Great video, this really helped me replace the screen. Thanks very much for sharing! :-)
Thanks, helped me today when replaced new display.
thanks it worked :) still using it
Awesome.
Thank you very much for the video tutorial!!!
