iPhone X: Screen is irresponsive to touch

Wed, 10 Jun 2020 11:48:12 -0700

Hello

my iPhone felt down ( very good one)

when I got it the screen was ok

when I try to unlock the screen through side button, it unlocks

but screen is irresponsive to touch

I can’t touch for like a one minute

after several trails of pushing the side button to open and close the screen finally it responds and then touch screen becomes perfect and fast until I lock the screen again

I tried to update the phone

force locking it , tried removing screen protectors

but nothing

but it seems like a hardware issue somehow because it started after the fall immediately

I called someone to fix it ( no apple store in my area) he suggested to replace the screen, and I don’t think I will need to change the screen , As it looks intact and eventually responds very good

maybe just to get it removed and placed again ?!

now few times a day the problem is not there

but most of time it’s there

iPhone X: Would replacing just the glass on an iPhone X fix the touch issues.

Mon, 22 Oct 2018 22:36:21 -0700

I have an IPhone X, the screen is cracked bad, but the oled is in good condition. The phone is currently suffering from random things getting clicked on. I have the equipment to remove and replace just the top layer of glass which leads to my dumb question. Would replacing just the glass fix the touch issue?

iPhone X: Did apple lock the screen programed to the cpu?

Mon, 30 Jul 2018 14:54:21 -0700

So I did some research about the touch id sensors and how apple locked them to the logic board. I did more research about the X, and I read somewhere that apple locked the face recognition from the screen to the logic board. Meaning, if I were to repair a broken iPhone X screen either, 1, the screen won't have functionality? or, 2, the face recognition won't function? can someone please answer this question... What i'm asking is if i replace a iPhone X screen, will the face recognition still work... bc I heard that they tided the restriction to the screen itself.

iPhone X: Can't restore TrueTone on iPhone X with 16.4, using JCID V1SE

I'm trying to restore TrueTone on an iPhone X after I replaced the screen. I tried the method that doesn't use the original LCD, but the programmer wasn't able to read the data on the new LCD. So I tried the other, and I was able to read the data on the old LCD and write it to the new LCD. I restarted the phone, but TrueTone still doesn't show up in the brightness settings. Can anyone help me?

iPhone X: iPhone X randomly bootloop

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 06:17:59 -0700

My iPhone X got water damaged and was sent to the service center. After a long period of time, they returned it to me "repaired." They told me that something in the charging segment had been replaced, but it still didn't work properly. It would work fine for a whole day and then randomly go into a bootloop the next day. I noticed that it was getting extremely hot near the cameras, so I reported it. A week passed, and it was returned to me. It was in a bootloop again, but they fixed the issue with the overheating near the cameras. It's worth mentioning that these bootloops occur once or twice a day, so it's somewhat better. I managed to retrieve the logs, and it seems that there's a problem with the l2c line. Can anyone identify the problem, maybe in a specific component, if that's possible? I would greatly appreciate it. I will paste the panic logs below.

"panicString" : "panic(cpu 3 caller 0xfffffff01c59c140): \"i2c0::_checkBusStatus SCL is stuck low; last read status 00010108 int shadow 00010100 xfer 00000000 fifo 00000000 for device ad5860\"

My device is running the latest IOS 16.5 for iPhone X. My screen does not have a single crack, nor the phone has been near water, screen has never been replaced or fallen down.

iPhone X: Green Flashing screen after water

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 02:38:48 -0700

Hey guys, I’ve had an iPhone 10 for nearly 2 years now, a while back I accidentally smashed my screen and got it replaced for cheap, although I am quite certain that he did not replace the adhesive. Recently the phone has been exposed to water (not much at all) and the screen goes off and flashes green, although the touchscreen still works. This is the third time that this has happened. I have checked the sim card slot and there is no red sticker indicating water damage. The first time this occurred I left it in rice and overnight and it did work the next morning. I stupidly made the same mistake a second time and the demonic green flashing screen stuck around for 2 months, only to randomly start working again on a Sunday morning. Now I have made the same mistake for the third time… (i know what you’re thinking don’t worry) Am I right in thinking that I just need to open up the phone and give it a good clean, rather than just taking it for a pointless expensive repair? Advice, please!!

iPhone X: iPhone X boot loop issue

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 10:59:06 -0700

I am a technician with the skills and access to microsoldering equipment. I am trying to avoid separating the two board layers if possible because it is a pain to get back together and may not be necessary. The phone is doing a 3 second boot loop. I have tried to turn it on with only essential components plugged and I have frankensteined new hardware in order to rule out hardware issues. It is recognized by iTunes. I attempted every reset possible, and none of them work. When attempting to restore the iPhone through iTunes, the restore stops right after extracting software (likely because of whatever is causing the boot loop). On the board level, are there any pads I can test in order to confirm that I need to split the boards? Does anyone have a clue what might be causing the issue? On my USB detector, the output reads a stagnant 0.47A @ 5.09V
