I have 2 broken Iphones and want to make one good one. Basically the one has a cracked screen. Anyone have any experience with this?

What's the problem with the other iPhone? Are you sure you can cobble a working phone from two broken ones?

What model iPhone is it? iFixit.com has teardowns of the models I usually use for reference on the rare occasions when I have to open one up.

It is the previous generation of the iTouch, not the phone. I have one with a cracked screen that works, and I have one that does not work, but has a good screen. ( not sure why the one does not work, but the screen appears to display ).

I will check out that site. thanks
