I have replaced the loudspeaker on an IPhone 5s...

The phone worked well before, the only problem was no sound.

Now it wont boot into IOS.. When i press the on/off button, it shows apple logo for 1 sec, and then screen goes black. But i can see that there are light in the screen (on the side when its not assempled),

If i try to start it by holding the on/off button, it shows the logo for 5-6 seconds and then goes black.

I have tried to go to recovery mode (or what it is called), but it wont let me.

Now i have replaced the bottom cable, with jack, charger and microphone on... Still nothing happens..

I have tried to connect a broken screen, but also with the same result.

The only thing i now believe it could be, is the battery. The first time i changed the part, i took the battery out. And when i was trying to boot the Iphone, i said that there was no power on, but the phone was fulle charged before i started.

Could it be a damaged battery??

Or is there someone that have an idea of what else could be wrong???

I use this app fairly regularly and haven't had problems charging and using the app at the same time until now. Is the GPS app somehow using more power or is my battery faulty?

At first it started up but the screen wouldn't come on = it synched with iTunes and vibrate on/off worked, but replacing the screen didn't work. There's no visible liquid damage but I suspect it might have been a victim of a static discharge working environment.

I've had the backlight coil replaced(the likely suspect) on the logic board but now it's stuck in DFU-mode and won't go any further than "Waiting for iPhone" in iTunes and an Apple logo on the screen with an empty progress bar below. Now I'm thinking the backlight coil might not have been faulty after all.

What are the likely suspects in this case? I'm tried to restore with several dock connectors/flex cables and USB cables but nothing seems to work.

Could it be the flash memory? Any good ideas for a fix that doesn't require completely replacing the flash chip?

I have recently switched out a screen on my iPhone 6. All is working fine except touch id. I'm not sure which cable I need to reseat to get it working.

Thanks

bought an iPhone 6 Plus on eBay. It's in perfect condition and I think I got a bargain. It has an issue though, which was why it was sold as not working: the touchscreen randomly becomes unresponsive and the phone needs a reset to make it start working again.

It seems to do it particularly if left untouched for a while.

I did a restore in DFU mode and it's still doing it.

It's 16 months old so out of warranty with Apple.

I booked an appointment with a genius tomorrow, but I believe that they won't fix that for free, even if I read on their forum lots of people complain about this issue especially after upgrading to iOS 9.

Also, worth mentioning that I checked the serial number of this iPhone and it qualifies for the Apple free iSight camera replacement program for the Iphone 6 Plus (rear camera producing blurry images).

Does it sound like a software issue or a hardware one? Thanks in advance for any replies.

No, screen looks fine. No lines or anything like that. Phone has no dents and is cosmetically in mint condition.

Pretty sure touchscreen stops working only after the phone has gone in standby for a while. If I am using it, it works fine so I don't understand how it can be a hardware issue.

Ah I have noticed that if I keep tapping while the screen is unresponsive, the tap on the screen will sometimes register but the only thing that works is a reset and sometimes I have to reset twice in a row for the touchscreen to become responsive again.

My iPhone doesn't display a grey bar though. Also, yesterday it became unresponsive, I kept tapping the camera icon, the touch input finally registered and that unfroze the touchscreen without even a reset.

I'm starting to think it's just a faulty digitizer.

I wanted to give an update since a couple of years have passed…

The phone worked perfectly for a year or so after they replaced the rear camera then the touch disease returned.

It definitely did something good to the phone as it allowed me to use it for quite a while before packing up for good.

I sold the phone on eBay as not working for about the same money I paid for it so I didn't lose money on it.

The next day I started having problems with the touchscreen.

At first it only acted erratic when my finger got near the screen, even before I actually touched it. Whatever was on the screen would jitter and not respond properly to what I was trying to do.

I found that just pressing the lock button would fix it, at least for a while.

Now, locking the phone only corrects the problem some of the time.

Also, it sometimes now gets "possessed" and will open apps, zoom in & out, or even make phone calls if the phone app is open. Even if I'm not holding the phone or near it in any way.

Sometimes I can be actively using the phone for more than an hour with no problems. Sometimes it comes and goes for a while.

It has never gotten wet. It's only been dropped a couple times, but always in a protective case and not more than 2 feet off the floor.

The screen is not cracked, and I have never opened the phone. And it was not jail broken.

I have reset the phone multiple times, with and without a backup, and the problem is still there.

My phone is past the Apple 1 year warranty.

3 months ago my iPhone 6 got some slight water damage in my pocket.

Shortly after everything seemed to be working just fine until I tried to use Siri and thats where I first noticed my problem. Let me confirm one thing, the microphone works great for phone calls, great with video, great with almost everything, yet when I try use siri, it shows the waves as if there is audio input, but no real audio is getting in.

When I attach headphones siri works great! No issues, but when I take them out, I get just waves of audio, but not actually audio coming from me.

I have only noticed this effect in one other area and that is with sending voice memos within iMessage, it is just a bunch of static noise. Normal voice memos work great.

Any thoughts on a solution

I tried replacing the lighting port assembly just now, which includes the microphone on the bottom, but alas, the same issue is still present. I am lost for ideas.

All help is appreciated. I can make a quick video if necessary.

Has anyone had this problem, and will replacing the camera with one from iFixit solve the problem?

Thanks,

I do know the wifi is not working on this phone, but it was activated in the past without wifi and worked fine (just expensive).

I put in his SIM (SIM has been tested in a working phone and works fine) but once connected to Itunes to complete activation the error in Itunes reads "The Iphone could not be activated because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000004). Please try again later."

Please help!
