Smashed 5s fix?

[nosepeg]

Hi - before attempting a repair, just wanted to check what I need for this badly smashed 5s? Powers up and charges ok. Damage just to front - back ok. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Nic.

At the very least, you'll need a new screen and touchscreen. There may also be hidden damage not visible until the phone is disassembled. If you have no experience in repairing iPhones it's highly recommended that you have a certified repair shop do the repair for you as it is very easy to unintentionally cause additional damage through lack of knowledge and experience.

Ifixit has excellent tutorials on their site as well as offering genuine Apple replacement parts.

Agree with with the advice from scifan.
How did it get damaged?

Run over! Still functions ok. I'm up for a challenge so will order a new digitiser/glass and have a go. Thanks for the advice and link...cheers, Nic.
