These grey spots (5 of them) are visible on the screen even when the phone is on standby mode. These grey spots are not always in the same shape too.

The screen is intact and the touch functionalities are fine too. The touch on the grey area is also getting recognised fine.

I had thought of changing the display but when am noticing that these spots are becoming smaller, now I dont know if its a good idea to change the display.

Can someone please tell me what should I do now regarding these grey spots?

My MacBook Pro's hard drive died, and was replaced under AppleCare warranty. No, I did not have a current backup. Yes, I have learned my lesson, and have purchased an external drive for Time Machine backups. That helps me in the future - I need help salvaging the past while I lick my wounds.

I want to synch my iPhone to the like-new system but want to salvage everything I can first. I would like to just keep my phone as-is and push everything on it to my new laptop, but it's my impression the phone will essentially get wiped and start from scratch if I let it synch. Is that true?

Assuming that's the way it is, I've seen apps for pulling various sorts of data from an iPhone to a computer, but the choices are a little confusing, and there doesn't seem to be simple, one-step solution. I would appreciate your wisdom on the best steps and tools for achieving the following goals:

- All my photos and music were synched to the Iphone. All of the music was ripped or recorded live, none purchased through iTunes. The photos will be lo-rez but that's better than lost. How best to get my music and photos off the phone, into the iTunes/iPhoto, and resynched?

- I have several dozen downloaded iPhone apps, free or paid, all useful in their way. Will the synch preserve them, or will it wipe and start from scratch? Once I authorize iTunes on this machine, can I download the apps again since I paid for them once already? Do I have to hunt them down individually or is there a more efficient method?

- How can I preserve my contact list and calendar data?

- Hardly required, but any way to preserve application-specific data such as Banking accounts, game high scores, etc?

Thanks

Well, I guess my iPhone has bit the dust. A few months back I installed a new battery I purchased from this site and had no issues whatsoever following the procedure.

A few weeks pass and I crack the glass screen.. not an easy replacement, but I finally got around to it a few days ago. The phone was working perfectly for a few days until I noticed the infrared sensors not dimming the phone when I held it to my ear. I wanted to investigate, so I opened the phone again to see if I could find the problem (Also possible the phone was on when I did this).. Lo and behold, when I put everything back together, not able to find the issue w/ the infrared sensors, and the phone completely doesn't work.

It will turn on for 5-10 seconds when plugged into a power source, show the apple start-up logo, emit this strange high-frequency buzzing noise, and then shut off.

It's the most frustrating thing.. I'm out of a phone!! Hopefully I don't have to fork out money on ANOTHER new battery so any help would gladly be appreciated!

Thanks

I guess, in short, did I break something opening the phone while it was on? Specifically the battery?

I droped my IPhone 3G into water and now it won't start up. I really need to get my stuff (numbers, pictures, etc.) out of it. Can you tear it apart and get my info back? Can I tear it apart and get my info back? I already bought a new IPhone so all I want is the info in the old one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got a randomly rebooting iPhone 3G here that worked fine docked for some reason.

Replaced the battery using the guide found on this site.

Back together the phone worked fine but it kept locking itself and showing the power off slide bar. I have a feeling that the power button presses itself randomly or something.

What can I do to fix this except cleaning the buttons and hoping that that works? Going to try that later today.

Ive cleaned the power button and the power button contacts. The button stil doesnt work. Im trying to take the phone apart again to see if it solves the problem.

Volume buttons work fine as does the vibration switch. Could it still be the flex that is broken or is it more likely the actual button isnt making contact with the flex.

I like working with microcontrollers such as those in the Arduino platform. Now that I've replaced the entire display assembly of an iPhone 3G with a IF137-008-1, I'm left with a perfectly good LCD unit that the customer won't want. Is there a datasheet for the LCD and perhaps even a development type PCB that I can plug it into and play with?

For example can I set this up so an Arduino Mega can send a jpg photo to the LCD with some nice caption text?

Thanks

When repairing my phone, do I only need the 3G display? Are there other parts I should consider buying?

Thanks!

i have a problem with my iPhone.the lcd backlight is not working anymore.the iPhone felt down, and the dislpay incl. the touchscreen was destroyed. so i bought new touch and lcd set...

after replacing my destroyed lcd, everything was working fine, incl. backlight.

But then the backlight went off.. i opened the iPhone again...seated all cables again into the iPhone, and it worked again...but only for a few minutes, till i moved/shaked the iPhone...

i guess that the connection for the backlight is not well connected...but i don´t know what cable is responsible for the backlight connection...I uploaded 2 pictures...can you say me which connection on each picture is for the backlight?

On the picture nr2 the thing numbered 1 seems a little bit destroyed...

I took the phone apart today to fix it and my screen went black in the process. I have checked all of the connections, especially cable #3 and nothing looks out of place.

The phone is still working as I can receive calls, emails, etc. I removed the lcd from the glass and it does not look broken at all.

Any suggestions as to what is going on? This is the 3rd time I have replaced my screen within a year and this is the first issue that I have had. Thanks!!

I know that lcd and touchscreen are not compatible but the rest?

1. It takes around two days to fully charge a 10-20% battery.

2. If the phone is on, but locked, the battery drains very quickly - Within a few hours of sitting quietly on the shelf.

3. If the phone is turned completely off, it holds the charge just fine.

4. The phone does not seem to be getting hot.

So any ideas? Thanks.

Because the guy had only told me that his homebutton wasn't working I thought that the button itself was broken and ordered a new one.

Now that I've taken the old button out, put the new one in and reassembled everything, nothing has changed. This doesn't surprise me much as the button I took out seemed to be good...

Can anyone give me a hint on whatelse could be the problem?

I figured it must be either a software problem or the mainboard, but if there's anything I could do to fix the problem I'd be glad to know!

Thank you guys!!

I accidantally droped my iphone 3g very hard and the screen poped out a littile bit from the upper side and I pushed it back wile the device was still runing.

I used the device for 15 minutes (it is runing normally) then I pluged the cable to charge the iphone, after 10 minutes the iphone started rebooting by it self again and again and again (it shows the apple logo for 5 minutes then it restarts) like forever.

I tryd to put it in DFU mode and restore it, after the restore is complete it starts rebooting again.

firstly id like to say this place is awesome and amazing, a few months ago i broke the glass on my 3G, i went all out and bought the LCD kit and it worked fantastic, but alas, there's always problems.

What happened:

A few nights ago me and the wife were leaving the house for dinner, i had my hoodie on, had the iPhone in the front left pocket (big mistake) as im leaning down to get into the car, it slides out ever so gracefully, hitting the car door and falling to the ground. I yell crap, and pick it up, press the hold button, comes on, no scratches nothing, it survived another fall. so i thought.

This morning, when i was waking up for work, firstly, i have a powerpad, so my iPhone has the powerpad case, i reach over and pick it up, 100% charge, i shove it in my pocket and head to work.

I pull it out to see how late i am for work, and nothing, it doesn't turn on, im pressing the hold button, the home button, every combo i can think of, its really making me mad. then it dawns on me, its probably dead (for what ever reason), i hook it up to my car charger, and the silver apple appears, i watch the road, few minutes later i look down, screen is off, so i assume it booted up. I press the home button, nothing. I press the hold button, it acts like its powering up again. Well, this goes on about 3 times. so i finally decide to watch it (im at work at this point of course) it comes on, then after a few minutes of where you think its going to fully power up, it looks like the lcd back light shuts off, and the screen slowly fades away, just like it had died.

Well, it only does this when its plugged in, when its not, nothing happens.

I was able to reboot it into recovery mode, the usual cord point to itunes, and itunes picked it up as recovery mode. I tried using firmware 3.1.2 as thats what i had, Error 23, i read somewhere that getting updated firmware might help. Error 23. Sigh.

Anything i can do at all? im using a crappy T-Mobile 239 slider crap. Going from iPhone to anything is like buying a Rolls Royce and driving a Toyota.

Is there any hope for her, or will i have to break out a shoe box say my good byes? so far from what ive seen, Error 23's are nothing but trouble.
