I would screens from other vendors. Not sure what to quality is like form parts on Amazon. You might have just gotten lucky with the other screens and now are receiving poor quality parts.

I ran into a similar problem when I was upgrading my 2012 MacBook pro. I was trying to reinstall the OS but could not see the disk when I went to select where I wanted the OS to be installed to. I ended up replacing the ribbon cable for the HD/SSD and that solved the problem.

This to me sounds like a possible cooling issue. The system probably needs to be cleaned out. Ideally the best option is to open the system up as much as you can and clean any dust out. At the very least try to use come compressed air. Just be careful of sensitive components.

Not even sure what you would call that piece. Likely your best option will be to see if you can get a parts phone and take it from that. I did not have much luck trying to find that piece from some of the vendors I know of.

This is likely a problem with the quality of parts you are getting. Where are the parts coming from? There are reputable retailers online that sell parts that are high quality. A quick Google search should give you some options. We use parts from these retailers all the time and very rarely have problems. As for using your old screen. Some packing tape will go a long way to keep glass from chipping off and cutting your fingers for the time being.

Could possibly be bad batteries. Have they been sitting out of the camera for a long time? If the answer is yes then they are likely bad and will need to be replaced. Letting lithium-ion batteries sit for long periods of time without charging them will cause them to drain and once they drain too much it does permanent damaged to them and they will never charge back up again. It could also be a problem with your charger for your batteries. If you have a volt meter you can check both the batteries and the charger. If it’s not the batteries then it’s probably something electrical with the camera.

If trying the dry the component with the hair dryer didn’t work then it may mean you just need to replace the rear facing camera module. You could try using some isopropyl alcohol (at least 91%) to see if that will displace the water then use the hair dryer again to evaporate the alcohol.

If you work in a factory or farm then it’s likely dust or particles built up in the speaker grills on your frame. Try cleaning these out with a toothbrush and see if that makes a difference. Also while it might sound dumb, was there film covering the new part? Sometimes replacement parts come with film over parts of the new components.

When I was first working on phones I had trouble getting the home button connected correctly on the iPhone 8 Plus. Both the 7 and 8 lines are very similar and the home buttons connect exactly the same. For me the problem was that I did not have the connector plugged in correctly even though it appeared to be. Another explanation is that the home button extender cable on the new screen is not working. Did the repair shop you took it to try a new screen? After checking the home button for physical damage I would try reconnecting the home button then I would try a new screen. If that doesn’t work then it may sadly mean that your home button is broken. In that case you will either always have to use a digital home button or replace your phone. There are also Bluetooth home buttons available however I’m not sure how good they work. If you can not get your original home button working you will also loose Touch ID.

It’s possible the battery needs to be replace. Well, that is if it can be replaced and if it’s actually worth it. A bad battery could explain why the device is getting hot. There might be some internal protection that is causing the device to then power off to prevent damaged or a fire risk.

This guide does not show how to do a factory reset but rather shows how to force the device to restart.
