I used the usual suction cup method, rather than a feeler gauge (that I've been using now), with A LOT of force that might've damaged something upon opening the screen. I noticed that the LCD display has some bleeding (not sure how to explain it).

After checking all of the cables, everything looks normal, though.

Everything else about the phone works fine (LCD, digitizer, silent switch, vibrator, both cameras, volume buttons, Wi-Fi/etc.).

Any ideas?

I ended up getting an iPhone 5s (maybe I should break phones more often?). Seriously though, I'm still angry at what happened.

I adjusted the angle of the 2 home button pins a number of times, and it just wouldn't work.

I'll let the new owned deal with it. It's currently selling on eBay

I'm thinking that I will try to clean up this corrosion before trying to plug it in again, but I'm not sure what sort of tool to use. Are we talking isopropyl alcohol and a Qtip, or is there some other accepted approach?

In order to recover data stored on the NAND chip of an iPhone 6 motherboard is it enough to desolder the NAND chip and solder it onto a donor board. I am wondering if some additional chip like the CPU, might also need to be swapped. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any opinions for what to watch out for would be appreciated. We are very skilled at the physical desolder / solder process.

Thanks,

Curt

Hi

Any one experiencing Touch ID not working on iphone 6 after a screen replacement since IOS 10 was released.

I have replaced 100's of screen with no issues with the touch ID. I have now done two iphone 6 with IOS 10 on them and both have non-functioning touch ID. This look like it might be a similar issue as last year with error 53.

Sometimes my touchscreen is unresponsive while using the phone. When it happens, I have to lock it and unlock it. Sometimes, when locked, the touchscreen doesn't answer too. So I have to leave the phone alone for a few minutes and try again later.

I have tried:

• Restarting the phone with Home+Power buttons (10s)
• Restoring the phone

Others symptoms:

• I have read that the touchscreen connector could be lightly disconnected. But this problem happens either I use the phone in my hand or placed on a table.
• I made some tests using the calculator app. When the problem occurs, the gyroscope still works since I can flip the phone and use the calc in portrait/landscape mode.
• All the buttons (volume, power, home, even handfree kit) works too

Of course, the phone fell down a few times but nothing harmful.

How can I test either it's an iOS or hardware issue ?

I have a following question, probably you had experienced it as well already.

New screen for iphone 7 doesnt fit right into the frame by the screen connectors. It leaves a little gap instead of perfectly sinking into the frame. If you remove metal plate that hold screen connector in plate it helps. If you force it down and close pentalobes you get a white hue on the screen caused by the pressure of the screen flex cables.

I have experienced this issue several times not and I was wondering if its the quality of new screens (I use original refurbished) or is it something I am not doing right?

UPDATE:

Ran into this issue again but managed to find a real solution. Basically, its the ic (see the picture) on the flex cable of the screen. You need to make sure its on the right position because if its too high it will press metal plate that covers screen connectors on the motherboard. Before you put the metal plate cover that covers the flexes on the screen put it a little bit higher so the flexes stick to it and then slide it down so its in the right position. Good luck!

- When I plug my iPhone to the computer, the computer will not detect the device, neither will iTunes or any 3rd party software

- I have not jail broken the phone, or have changed any parts on the phone such as the screen or battery, it still has all the same original parts

- Before it happened, the iPhone had been suffering from the touch disease, and a short battery life, and was starting to really become slow

Can anyone help me?

I have an iPhone 6 in for a screen replacement. I had two screen left, but i´ve had an issue with both.

First I tried the screens without reassembling the small parts (camera, LCD shield plate ect), and it worked fine.

When i reassembled the small parts it just have backlight. Works fine if I connect the old screen

Also: the phone will not turn on when the new screen connected. But if the phone is powered on and I connect it, I get the backlight..

This happend to both.. Can´t see any damage on the flex cables.

I´ve done alot of iPhone repairs, so I´m not a newbie :p

Hope someone can help me understand what happened/what went wrong :p

I just purchased the iPhone 6s Plus and cracked the screen. It is so new there is no info about it or any replacement displays for sale yet. Could I purchase a iPhone 6 Plus display and install it on my 6s plus or would it not be compatible? I understand the 6s has force touch and the 6 doesn't so maybe that affects the screen. If anyone has an idea as to what I should do please let me know.

But sometimes it doesn't tur off at all, but if i restart it myself it starts restarting by itself again . I have also tried 4 different batteries in the phone without any luck. Do anyone have any tips about what i can do to fix this?

It bent backwards starting from the - volume button. If you have this problem too, please reply!

… and now the Sleep/Wake button on my iPhone 5 is malfunctioning. It has just about completely ceased to function. This iPhone is not even two years old!

A lot of people doubt these words and claim it's a scam or say "iPhones don't bend by themselves!" And it's true. They don't. But if it takes just 5 Newtons of pressure to bend it, it's probably not difficult to apply that amount of pressure in even the side pocket of a pair of jeans. That's called a design flaw, not misuse or abuse.

Just sayin'.

Apple's got a Sleep/Wake button replacement program for iPhone 5 now. Check their website for more info, and to see if your specific iPhone is eligible.
