iPhone 4: Battery connector broken off the logic board!

Fri, 14 Jul 2017 06:36:39 -0700

Basically the small black plastic connector on the motherboard that connects the battery has come off and initially I thought I'd superglue it back on by just lining up the metal bits (yes it's a real technical term). Well, it didn't work and I assume the only way to fix it would be through soldering it back on? I was hoping to get a step by step guide on this, some tips or maybe even a video! Many many thanks!

iPhone 6: Replaced my screen, Touch ID Causes issues

Fri, 30 Jun 2017 20:21:21 -0700

I have replaced my iPhone 6 screen, and ever since I have changed it I have had problems when activating my Touch ID.

When activated, the screen is unresponsive and sticks. I have to restore the phone and then not activate the touch ID for it to work.

Has anyone had this problem?

iPhone 4: How to fix Error 2001, 2006 restore issues, possibly battery?

Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:25:45 -0700

Hello. I bought an iPhone 4 online that said that it was stuck in error 21 and would not restore. After doing much research and trying different solutions, I am now getting error 2001 and error 2006 when attempting to restore to iOS 6.1.3 with iTunes.When attempting the restore, the "connect to iTunes screen" on the iPhone goes blank flashes quickly to a blue screen, and then to the apple logo, and then back to the connect to iTunes logo and either error 2001 or 2006 appears. (same thing when i tried a custom restore) I have the latest version of iTunes, am using a macbook pro mid 2012, am using an apple usb cord, and do not have any other things connected to my laptop. There is no battery icon that appears when the iphone is connected in iTunes, and the iPhone only is on when connected to the macbook. Will replacing the battery be the solution to having a working iPhone? (there is no warranty with apple) or have i bought a phone that cannot be repaired?

also the top water sensor indicates that there was water damage

iPhone 3GS: Does not charge or recognized by pc

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 10:59:17 -0700

Hi there, besides my Ipod trouble I also have an Iphone issue. Since there are 4 in my household I suppose it was bound to happen:) Anyhow one day my Iphone started to turn itself off without any reason at all turned it back on and this happened multiple times. Now the Iphone can not be charged by the Computer and is not recognized. Stays absolutely dark and dead when plugged in the PC on any USB port. When I plug it into my AC adapter it comes on and charges but the moment I unplug the cord from the charger the Iphone dies again. Anyone have any idea. New Battery? New Logicboard? Iphone4? Thanks.

iPhone 4S: No service after screen replacement.

Wed, 10 Feb 2016 07:37:05 -0700

Ive changed countless LCD and digizers and never had an issue, work on my own 4s, and **** hits the fan.

I changed the LCD and digitizer in my launch day 4s and ever since i cant get any signal for my cellular. I tried my antenna (the part on the speaker) in a friends iphone 4 and it works fine. Wifi works fine, bluetooth seams to work, but no cellular. Once in awhile i can get 1 bar, sometimes itll go full signal, then it'll cut right out and die on me again. Anyone have any tips? did i maybe forget a screw that im not seeing? Exactly what screws (or anything else) is required to make the cellular service work? I can see my imei number, so i know the baseband itself is working even when i have no service.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

iPhone 4: Why "No Service" after replacing LCD screen?

Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:10:34 -0700

I just replaced a broken screen on my iPhone 4, and now the phone says, "No Service." It detects the SIM card, and I was able to go to the home screen after inserting the SIM card and connecting to iTunes. But it still does not detect any service networks. It says, "Searching...." then goes to "No Service."

There might be a few screws that aren't exactly the right size, and I've tried switching some of them to no avail. I am sure that the screw for the battery connector is correct. I am told the antenna is connected via screws. Is this correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

iPhone 4: wi-fi distance was reduced

Mon, 25 Jun 2018 04:02:27 -0700

Couple days ago I dropped my iPhone 4 on the floor. As a result it's display was cracked. But the phone kept their functionality: GSM, WI-FI, GPS worked fine. I decided to change display, so I asked my friend to help me. He disassembled my iPhone, and replaced old cracked display with new one. I was very glad, my iphone seemed like new....but unfortunately I noticed that after dissasembling the iphone's WI-FI became to work worth than before dissasembling. My iphone doesn't see my office's wifi network any more. In my home I have to be in a room with wi-fi router to use wi-fi. :-(( It seems like the iphone wi-fi module is not connected to it's antenna...but me and my friend do not know where it should be connected. If anybody know where it should be connected, or what is wrong please answer :-)) Thanks!!!

Need help! I did a screen repair for a customer about 2 weeks ago and today she says it cracked w/out even dropping it. What can be the cause of this? My guess is frame damage? To much pressure against the screen.

Do I need a new button? Is there a problem with a flex cable? Is there some other easy fix that can be done by making sure that all the parts are in place?

iPhone 6s: CPU slow when battery low!

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 02:04:40 -0700

Hi,

This week I’ve placed 4 new OEM batteries into 4 iPhone 6S’s. All 4 customers came back with the same issue: when the percentage goes below 20%, the phone starts to lag so much they cannot use it anymore. As soon as it is plugged into a charger, the issue disappears.

For the past 7-8 years, i’ve been repairing iPhones, and last year alone I’ve replaced at least 70 iPhone batteries without any complaint. January and february i didnt do any repairs because of work abroad, and now in march i get all this trouble. Could this be because of iOS 11.2.6? Is this an extreme case of CPU throttle? How can i reset this? Will iOS 11.3 fix this?

I hope someone can clear this out because this seems like Apple trying to eliminate 3rd party repairs!

Thank in advance
