If you have to ask i don't think you will be able to do it, it's not easy to resolder such a tiny component. My bets advice to you is get an old circuit board, I use a RROD Xbox 360 and practice soldering onto it.

This video showed it pretty good for me atleast! Hope you all the best!"

That video didn't show how to do anything. However, I just started looking into this but I imagine you wouldn't actually "solder", you'd use a heat gun. Any time there's multiple solder points, it's usually best to use a heat gun to soften the solder.

I suggest to bring the unit to iPhone service center and let them fix it for you.they were more competent than us since it was their kind of job
