Hi, first post, so fingers crossed! I followed the guide and managed to remove the screen with the suction up no problem. But what i found underneath looked nothing like the photograph or video. There is no battery obviously seen, there is just a large flat plate or a dark brown or black colour covering the whole inside of the phone from above the home button. I definitely have an iphone 5 (i checked the model number A1429) so i am at a complete loss as to what to do next. Any advice greatly appreciated!
You probably have just lifted one layer of the screen off. If you see a big metal plate and the home button is still inside the phone, then you can use a suction cup or an iSclack to open the plate up. If this is the case, then your screen might be toast.
