Hi all, Does anyone know where to get a tap to put a thread into the mid case? I had a water damaged phone and the screw that holds the motherboard down, middle-top that is crucial for wi-fi signal rusted and it snapped off. Was able to drill the screw out but need to tap a new thread. Any help with thread size or availability would be appreciated. thanks

Since you are so willing to re-tap your iPhone I allowed myself to find some more info for you. Here is the drill size to re-tap it : Thread Size Tap Drill (mm) M1 x 0.25 0.75 M1.1 x 0.25 0.85 M1.2 x 0.25 0.95 M1.4 x 0.3 1.10 M1.6 x 0.35 1.25 M1.8 x 0.35 1.45 M2 x 0.4 1.60 M2.2 x 0.45 1.75 M2.5 x 0.45 2.05 M3.5 x 0.6 2.90 M4 x 0.7 3.30 M4.5 x 0.75 3.70 and here is a site where you can get the tap. As for the screw size, use a pair of caliper and measure the diameter of your screws. If you are not sure how to determine if its metric or standard check this site http://mdmetric.com/tech/tic1e.htm Good Luck and a steady hand to you…
