iPhone 5 screen is dark or won't respond to touch — we'll fit a new module within an hour, price fixed before work starts.
An old phone needs a new screen once the picture breaks into stripes, the touch layer acts on its own or the glass is badly smashed.
A web of cracks or a chip: shards can cut fingers, and moisture creeps toward the panel underneath.
Colored lines, ink-like blotches or bright patches mean the panel is damaged even if the glass looks whole.
The screen taps by itself, ignores the edges or jitters, so the touch layer of the module has failed.
The image flickers or vanishes when you press the frame, pointing to the module or its ribbon cable.
The price depends on which module you choose, original or aftermarket, while the technician's labor charge is shown in the price row.

The price covers the work; the module cost follows your choice of original or aftermarket, so confirm the total when booking.
The technician removes the old module, fits the new one and then checks touch, brightness and the button.
We see whether the glass alone or the panel too has been hurt, and whether the cables hide a defect underneath.
Bottom screws come out, a suction cup lifts the module and the display, touch and Home cables are disconnected.
The Home button, camera, earpiece and sensor go onto the new module when they are present and healthy.
Cables are reconnected, the module is pressed into the frame and screws are tightened without twisting the glass.
Brightness, colors, touch across the whole area, camera, earpiece and Home button are tested before handover.
A warranty up to 1 year covers the work and the installed module, as with every repair at iServices.
Scope is set after inspection: sometimes a small fix is enough and the module can stay.
Price for my modelAn original module shows a picture closer to factory, an aftermarket one saves money; the choice depends on what you expect from the screen.
Technicians who return this classic to service give a warranty up to 1 year and let you pick between original and aftermarket.
We have repaired devices for 11 years, so the thin cables and Home button of the iPhone 5 are handled with confidence.
The warranty up to 1 year applies to the fitted module and to the labor, whenever a defect appears through our fault.
Screens are swapped by experienced technicians, since touch and Home button behavior depends on an exact fit.
When a cable is to blame rather than the screen, we say so and do not suggest a replacement you do not need.
Phones are accepted in Almaty on weekdays from 10:00 to 19:00, and at weekends and on holidays from 11:00 to 18:00.
We explain how original and aftermarket look on screen and leave the final call to you.
A customer dropped their iPhone 5 on asphalt — stripes appeared across the screen and the touch sensor sometimes failed. We replaced the display module and checked the sensor and brightness — the phone works properly again.
The whole process — from a message to a finished phone. We give you the old screen.
Book a replacementSend a photo on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the price and time. Or just come in without an appointment.
We check Face ID and the logic board: sometimes after a drop it's not the screen but the flex cable that's at fault.
We write down the model, screen type (original or aftermarket), price and warranty.
We open the factory packaging in front of you and check the number against the receipt.
We remove the old screen, install the new one with water-resistant adhesive and transfer True Tone with a programmer.
Touch, brightness, Face ID, True Tone. You take the phone, the receipt and the old screen.

iPhone 5 Display Replacement in Almaty with a Same-Day Screen Swap
For an iPhone 5 display replacement in Almaty, iServices swaps the whole module while you wait, usually in about 40 minutes. You pick an original panel or a quality aftermarket one, and the price, part and warranty are fixed on the receipt before work starts.
On the iPhone 5 the front glass, the touch layer and the LCD are bonded into a single assembly, so replacing just the outer pane rarely works out. We first establish which layer actually failed.
On this model the front pane, the digitizer and the LCD are bonded into one assembly, so a crack almost always means the whole display is replaced rather than just the outer layer. A spiderweb pattern with working input and a clear picture is the mild case; dark bands, bright spots or a greenish tint mean the LCD itself is damaged. When the display stays black or ignores taps with no crack at all, the digitizer or the display flex is the suspect — a cable that has worked loose or torn. A drop on the corner or pressure in a pocket produces all three patterns on this device. If you are looking for an iPhone 5 display replacement in Almaty, the engineer confirms the failed layer before any part is ordered.
We start every visit with free diagnostics in front of you, 15 minutes, and show you on the spot whether the display, its flex or the board is at fault. The engineer opens the device, checks the connectors under the shields and runs the module on a bench tester, so you see the actual cause rather than a guess. A display that flickers or shows pale patches after contact with liquid usually hides corrosion on the board, not a dead panel. If the phone took water, the same check can stretch to two days, because corrosion under the shields has to be cleaned before a new part is worth fitting.
Both options for the iPhone 5 are LCD modules, and the difference sits in matrix quality, brightness and how the touch layer holds up. The choice shapes how the display behaves over the following months.
| Panel option | Matrix type | Brightness and colour |
|---|---|---|
| Original panel | LCD, factory spec | Closest to factory |
| Quality aftermarket | LCD, copy | Slightly dimmer, cooler tint |
| Aftermarket, budget grade | LCD, copy | Noticeably dimmer, uneven tint |
A display swap on this handset is worth it when the board, battery and home button are healthy, because the display is the only failed part and the rest still works. A cracked glass front on most models leads to replacing the whole assembly, not just the glass, so the display is the single cost that matters. Check the battery and the charging port before committing, since a device that also needs those parts rarely justifies the spend on a fresh display. A handset that passes those two checks usually keeps running as a spare or a child's first handset for another stretch, while one with a swollen battery and a worn port tends to fail elsewhere within months.
The iPhone 5 has no Face ID and no True Tone, but its home button with a fingerprint scanner and the flex cable with earpiece and proximity sensor both travel from the old panel to the new one.
We move your original home button and the top ribbon onto the new panel, because the Touch ID scanner inside the button is paired to the board and a fresh button would kill fingerprint unlock for good. The front camera and the metal frame come across in the same pass, so nothing on the face of the phone is left behind. That flex cable carries the earpiece and the proximity sensor, and its connector seats with almost no slack, which is where most of the fiddly work sits. The seating is the step that decides whether calls sound right afterwards. If the earpiece sounds muffled after a swap, the cable seating is the first thing to recheck before anything else is blamed.
The handset has no Face ID, no True Tone and no 3D Touch, so a display swap here carries none of the calibration worries that come with newer OLED models. True Tone on later phones depends on data pulled from the original display, and losing it is what triggers complaints after a repair; this generation simply has no such dependency. Auto-brightness still works through the ambient light sensor in the top flex, so keep that cable intact when the display is rebuilt. That also means no iOS warning about an unconfirmed part on this generation, so the panel you choose is judged purely by how it looks and responds under your thumb.
The work happens in front of you: an engineer opens the device, moves the home button and the top flex across, seats the new module and re-seals the frame while you wait in the waiting area.
Send a photo of the damage on WhatsApp and an engineer replies within 5 minutes with a price and a free slot, then the display swap itself takes about 40 minutes while you wait. Between those two moments the handset is opened on the bench, the home button and the top flex are moved from the old panel to the new one, the display is seated and the frame is re-sealed. Before the new panel goes on, we show you the part in its factory packaging, and the price, part, turnaround and warranty are written on the receipt in about 2 minutes. That receipt fixes the job before a single screw comes out, so nothing about the part or the deadline changes later. Ask to see the module still sealed in its packaging — the simplest way to know which of the two options you are paying for.
Most display swaps are finished while the customer waits, and 72% of our repairs across the workshop end that way, with coffee and Wi-Fi in the waiting area. The doors are open Mon–Fri 10:00–19:00 and Sat–Sun and holidays 11:00–18:00, so a display job fits into a lunch break or a weekend morning. If you cannot come in, a courier across Almaty reaches you in 90 minutes and is free with a repair, so the device can be collected, fixed and returned without a trip. Payment is by Kaspi, card or cash once the handset is back in your hands and you have checked it with the engineer. The courier route suits people who work through the day — book the pickup slot by message and the handover takes a couple of minutes.
Once the new panel is seated, the device is tested in front of you, and you walk out with a receipt, a warranty card and the old display in a bag.
After the swap we run a 32-function check that takes about 10 minutes, and you go through the results with the engineer before the device leaves the bench. Both cameras, the microphone pair, the loudspeaker, charging and the cellular network are switched on one by one, and you watch each result appear rather than hearing about it afterwards. Brightness is swept from minimum to maximum so a dim corner shows up early. On an iPhone 5 the touch layer is tested along all four edges, since a screen that responds in the centre can still miss taps near the frame. Ask the engineer to open the keyboard and drag a finger over every row — that single test catches dead strips a home-screen tap never touches.
You leave with the handset, the paperwork, the guarantee card and the old display, and cover on the work runs up to 1 year. The document is not a formality: price, part type, turnaround and terms were printed on it before the work began, so the numbers you compare at the counter are the ones agreed in the chat. Payment goes through Kaspi, a card or cash, whichever suits you. Keep the old display until you have used the device for a few days, because it is the quickest way to prove the original home button and top flex came from your handset if anything needs revisiting. Should the display misbehave later, bring both documents back — they shorten the conversation considerably.
The points below summarise what decides the outcome of an iPhone 5 screen job — the part, the swapped components, and the checks that confirm the phone works afterwards.

Ask a questionYes, the front camera, proximity sensor and earpiece speaker are moved from your old assembly to the new one. That is why the engineer checks a test call and the selfie camera with you before handing the phone back.
Coloured lines or flicker usually mean the panel or its connector was damaged by the impact. Sometimes reseating the connector is enough, but more often the iPhone 5 needs a new display module.
Most likely it is the display or its backlight. If a faint image is visible under a torch, the backlight is at fault, and that can be a small part on the board rather than the screen itself.
The most common reason is a swollen battery pushing the display up from below. A broken clip after an earlier repair can do the same, so the battery is checked first.
Yes, if the phone has trusted your computer before: iTunes then recognises it and backs it up without the screen. If it never has, the display is replaced first and you copy everything afterwards.
Yes, the iPhone 5 came with a black front on the dark version and a white front on the silver one. The engineer matches the panel to your body colour so the phone looks original.
Разбила стекло на своем айфоне, думала, придется менять весь экран за бешеные деньги. Мастер посмотрел и сказал, что сама матрица целая, можно переклеить только стекло. Сделали за пару часов, дисплей как новый, сенсор работает идеально.
The difference is not always visible, but it can be checked. An original panel is the one the manufacturer installs; an aftermarket copy costs about 35% less.
