The issue popped out of nowhere too, it worked one day, went to bed and it stopped working the next.

Other than that, the phone works fine, but trying to look at the panic logs didn't provide anything of use either

Lemme know if you have any solutions to this!

here, idk if that’ll help

I replaced the buttons with new ones, there are no gaps, everything is fine, but I'm lost, I can't understand how long the screws are needed…

Everything is fine, but when I tighten the screw to the end, the button is not pressed, although everything is in place

Could you please tell me if I need to buy these screws separately? And are they sold on AliExpress? What length of screws for buttons do I need?

A few days ago I replaced the rear glass on my iphone 12 - it went relatively smoothly, but I managed to accidentally break the flashlight off during the replacement - the rear camera still works fine (without the light / flash of course) - but the front camera doesn't work at all anymore - is this because of the flash ? - If I replace the flashlight ribbon, is that likely to fix the front camera problem?

I don't know if it's something different - but face ID still works fine! - does that use the front camera or is that a different component again?

Thanks

I am planning on buying the new phone in September, but I am wondering if it's worth taking the phone to Apple to get my battery done in the interim, even though I plan on buying a new phone.

However, I moved back the earpiece to the original screen and brightness just worked as it should. Then I put it back on the new screen and it doesn't work. Of course, for sanity check, I moved it back onto the original screen and it all just works.

Is it possible that the new screen needs to be reprogrammed first for the brightness to work? What a goofy issue.

I am considering replacing the battery in my iPhone 12 since it has begun to degrade a bit in terms of battery life but isn't too far gone (yet) so I'm not in a rush to get this done for the time being. Overall I used to get 1.5-2 days easily (I bought the phone used, so the battery was at ~98% since I had it); now it is down to ~24 hours after 3 years.

Based on the battery data, am I due for a trip to the store to get this done or can I hold out on this battery until the 15 comes out*?
*It's coming up due since this one is a few generations old at this point (currently 3, will become 4 generations old soon).

I opened the phone and tried to measure the battery voltage with a multimeter, but got 0v. However, I couldn't find a pinout online so I might not have been measuring it on the right contacts, but I tried all the contacts I could.

I was thinking it might be a battery issue before I tested with the wireless charger but now I fell like it could be something else. I don't have much experience troubleshooting this kind of issue, so any advice will be much appreciated.

I replaced the battery in my iPhone 12 and now my phone doesn’t have working cellular. It might occasionally give me a few bars but mostly not, also when I tried to update on wifi it said it couldn’t verify my update because it wasn’t connected to the internet even though wifi was fine.

I suspect I have done damaged or dislodged something since opening the phone was very difficult and my attempted as removing the old gasket were also difficult so I could have caused damage then.

In order for me to at least attempt to fix it I need to know what the most likely component to be faulty is and where it is. I’ve successfully replaced many batteries on older models but i’m a novice when it comes to other parts in these phones so looking for some direction. I have gone back into the phone reconnected everything and gone over it but I can’t tell what might be wrong. Any ideas and pictures showing the potentially offending parts would be helpful.

I’m not interested in fussing around with transferring components over to a new flex to keep Face ID (because reasons) so he’s just getting a Self Repair display and I’m going to do it for him since his wife wants to make sure Face ID stays intact.

In the mean time. The ALS works sometimes, if it feels like it. I’m figuring there’s some corrosion or something somewhere I can’t see because my microscope is at home. How risky is it to try and clean the ALS up with some isopropyl. Is that going to murder it more?
