iPhone SE: インカメラマイク不良

Fri, 20 Oct 2023 23:13:20 -0700

iPhoneSE（初代）のフロントパネルを交換したところ…
インカメラで動画撮影した際に音声がノイズで正しく録音されない状態です。

症状的にはノイズキャンセルが不調なような状況です。

アウトカメラでは、問題ないです。

交換時に何かミスってしまったのでしょうか？
どなたか対処法をご存じでしたら、ご教授をお願いします。
よろしくお願いします。

iPhone SE: Screen, LCD, or Digitizer - which part should I order?

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 21:09:45 -0700

A friend of mine asked me to fix their OG iPhone SE 1st gen from Korea, it one day just stopped working. I already tried a battery replacement, it still didn't work. So I want to replace the display.

What's the difference between the entire screen part and just the LCD & Digitizer?

iPhone SE: What are the steps after installing new battery

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 21:03:13 -0700

Hello,

I have received the new battery purchased from ifxit.

After installing new battery, what are the steps?

From what I understand,

Charge the phone for 100%
Leave it charging for 2 more hours
Use the phone until it drained the battery completely and phone shuts down
and then charge it to 100%.

Is that correct?

Thank you!

iPhone SE: My iPhone SE Stuck at 1%.

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 03:41:11 -0700

I replaced the LCD/Digitizer on a broken iPhone SE. I was not able to test it before the repair due to the screen not working. Now the phone reads that the battery is at 1% and it will stay on until the battery drains. I have tried a different battery. Any ideas on what to do next or what the problem might be?

iPhone SE: iPhone SE battery replacement kit

iPhone SE: Black screen after successful battery replacement

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 22:00:22 -0700

Long story but gives all background.

Replaced the battery and the SE started ok. Transferred data from the phone it was to replace and then it wanted an iOS update.

That worked fine but then it wanted to connect to iCloud to restore some other data.

For that I needed to get the password from my other Iphone which sadly had just gone flat. It was late, in fact wee hours 1am, so I went off to sleep with my other phone charging.

Next day the SE would not respond in any way.

Tried accessing via USB to MacBook no sign of life.

Tried restarts including the 15 second top plus home, no joy.

So reopened the case, that is lifted the screen once more to check if maybe the screen connector has popped off. It was secure.

Thinking maybe the battery had died or its connector has come loose I checked and it seemed secure.

Disconnected the battery and checked it has around 4 volts, still charged.

Put everything back together including the very very fiddly screen connector clip that took longest of everything to get just right and ended back where we started: nothing, no response.

Any ideas?

iPhone SE: Replace battery in partially lifted screen iPhone

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 23:17:16 -0700

My SE, 1st gen has partially lifted screen do to bulging battery. I had the phone inside an Otter case, which is an extremely stout case. When an AT&T tech opened the case to install a new SIM the screen partially opened exposing the swollen battery. The Otter case itself was keeping the evidence of the swollen battery concealed. The battery takes and holds a charge but to troubleshoot bizarre SMS behavior is what caused me to visit the AT&T store. The screen is now lifted 1/4" on left side and intact on right side. My question after viewing the disassembly videos, should I modify the screen release and lifting procedures in any manner? The SE is a great phone but Apple no longer offers battery service for it, although it still supports 2nd gen SE's.

iPhone SE: Increasing storage capacity SE

Will increasing the storage capacity of 16GB iPhone SE 1st Gen to 32GB affect the performance or battery life in any negative way? Can it lead to unexpected shutdowns? I was planning to increase the storage to 32GB since 16Gb is too less for me.

iPhone SE: Bluetooth antenna still in not functioning after replacement

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 08:51:55 -0700

I just replaced my Bluetooth antenna after breaking the old one during a battery replacement (fun whack a mole) and it’s still acting the same, as I’m not connecting to wifi or Bluetooth unless it’s right next to the device/ router. Is there anything I’m missing here in terms of connecting everything? The instructions don’t mention anything other than where to put it and I can’t trouble shoot if I don’t know what I’m looking at

iPhone SE: Vertical & horizontal lines across iPhone SE screen

Sat, 14 Jun 2025 07:27:28 -0700

My iPhone SE started forming vertical and horizontal lines, along with some occasional unresponsiveness a while back. As far as I know it sustained no damage, water/drop or otherwise. The lines tend to get worse over prolonged usage, leading to discolouration in some parts.

I imagine that the screen is faulty, but on the off-chance a lose cable or bracket was to blame I thought I’d ask here.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

iPhone SE: Replaced battery, iPhone crashes after a few minutes

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 01:31:27 -0700

Hi! So i recently got a battery to change the 70% original battery health on my iPhone SE. I am not sure what the problem is, but after connecting the battery and the cables on the logic board (and NOT putting the logic board or battery connector shield or the home button cables, so i did not fully close the phone,because i want to test if the battery works properly and if the phone works properly), powering on the iPhone seems to work properly and the phone works as expected. However, using it for roughly 3 minutes, the screen turns black, the iPhone turns off and then it restarts. When i wanted to check the battery health, it just keeps loading until it eventually crashes. the battery percentage also seems to not go down, until it crashes, then when it eventually restarts, it drops by about 5%. What might be the reasons for the crashes? Are the Shields for the logic board and battery needed for the iPhone to work properly? Is there a bug maybe that whenever the percentage number goes down, the iPhone crashes? I know these may be a lot of questions but i’m trying to troubleshoot this to the best of my ability. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

iPhone SE: iPhone SE (1st Gen) replacement

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 00:19:51 -0700

Can Apple service centre provide me with a new iPhone SE 1st generation if I pay the full price? Or will they only replace my iPhone SE 1st gen (multiple issues) with a refurbished one at a price?

Can Apple service centre replace black iPhone (multiple issues with phone) with silver one if I want silver colour? Or they will only replace it with black?

Also, what are some good places online to buy refurbished iPhone SE 1st generation?

When does iPhone SE 1st Generation become vintage? 64Gb was discounted more than 5 yrs ago while 32 GB 4 years back as per wiki. Can the hardware incl battery and entire phone be replaced after it becomes vintage?

iPhone SE: Why did my new screen stop working weeks after being replaced?

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 09:26:54 -0700

Hello helpful peeps! I'm trying to use my iPhone se 2016 for as long as possible. I replaced the screen recently and the repair went well. Everything was functioning. One day the screen turned off and I can't get it to respond via the home button. Nothing bad happened to the phone. When I took the screen off I could see faint blue light around the edges. My alarm still goes off each morning even though I have no access to turn that off or turn the phone off itself lol Any insight is appreciated, thanx!

iPhone SE: Power button won't click

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 12:43:53 -0700

At some point my power button stopped "clicking." I have to press it really hard for it to work at all.

I've dropped this thing several times, so that may be involved, but I can't find anything that seems bent.

I've torn it down to the power button and removed and cleaned it; there's nothing wrong with the button itself. Could it be the Audio Control and Power Button Cable?

iPhone SE: No power after replacing battery

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 15:28:06 -0700

I just replaced the battery in an iPhone SE (first gen) with an ifixit battery replacement kit. I’ve done this twice before on an iPhone 6 without issue. After replacing the battery, the device won’t power on at all. Shining a light on the screen does not show a faint image. There’s just no power at all, it seems. I tried open it up and just connecting the original battery (it still had some charge) to see if it would power on, and no dice. I followed the ifixit procedure exactly, making sure to disconnect the battery before disconnecting the screen.

I disconnected everything again and re-seated all the screen ribbon cables just to make sure. I had no problem seating them, I used a magnifier to look closely and ensure I hadn’t damaged any pins.

I was extremely careful at keeping track of the screws so I didn't accidentally put a longer screw in the wrong socket and thus damage the logic board.

The only thing that happen was when I first opened the case, it popped rather quickly and pulled the home button ribbon cable off. I was extremely lucky, as it had no shield over the connector, so it simply popped off without any damage. However, even if that got damaged, all I would expect is a non-functioning home button. It should still at least power on, I would hope.

I’m not sure what I can do to troubleshoot this, and would appreciated any suggestions.
