    iPhones are not user serviceable. Error 53 indicates a hardware fault. Apple revised the behavior / appearance of this message in specific instances where users have obtained a 3rd party screen and/or home button replacement so that it does not occur if those parts are successfully replaced. This ONLY applies to devices that support Touch ID, which the 5c does not.

     

    You are taking a risk by attempting to open and repair any iPhone yourself. We can not advise anyone to do so. Doing so will forfeit all rights to support or service from Apple and on these Apple sponsored forums.
