iPhone 15 Pro: The screen’s top lifting issue is not resolved.

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 10:44:54 -0700

Hello,

I replaced the battery of my iPhone 15 Pro myself.

After the replacement, there is some lifting at the top of the screen, and even when pressed, there is a slight gap.

I’m not sure if it’s because of the top speaker grille or incomplete removal of the adhesive.

If you know how to resolve this issue, please let me know.

iPhone 15 Pro: Rear microphone working but very muffled

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 21:47:07 -0700

A friend's iPhone 15 Pro records muffled audio whenever using the rear cameras to take videos (the audio sounds like a really bad version of noise cancellation). I believe the earpiece and bottom microphones are functioning fine. I don't see guides or parts to diagnose / fix / replace this piece, was wondering if anyone can shed some light or provide suggestions? My suspicion is that it simply requires removing the rear panel, extracting the rear microphone under the bracket, cleaning out the opening in the rear glass and possibly replacing the mic, but I'd prefer guidance if anyone has performed this repair already. I'm not based in the US, so ordering a replacement directly from Apple might be tricky -- if anyone has suggestions for alternative platforms that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance!

iPhone 15 Pro: iPhone 3 minute reboot and fully charged battery always on 1%

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 11:54:56 -0700

Hi,

I recived this phone for parts from my brother since he drowned it and he just bought a new one. Still i started checking and replaced the screen with the battery and it runs, but there are some problems:

The phone reboots after 2 /3 minutes and i know that it's just an easy check in the panic logs but i entered the password wrong a couple of times and now it's constantly stuck on 5 minute waiting;
I charged up the battery to about 80% before pluging it in and it shows a constant 1%;
When i tried connecting the charging port it started yelling about liquid, so i dried it and scrubbed with ipa, but still nothing, so i just replaced the charging port, but the only thing i get after connecting it to my pc or a charger are just some shakes from the taptic engine and that's it. It doesn't draw any current.

I tried checking for shorts on the mb, but i don't think i'm going the right way.

I would be really grateful for a few tips or if someone would point me in the right direction.

For the sake of learning to repair i'm willing to do board lever repais myself since this phone didn't cost me anything.

iPhone 15 Pro: iPhone 15 Pro not booting after battery replacement and stuck at 1%

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 17:27:41 -0700

iPhone 15 Pro is not booting at all. Initially had a very low current draw (~9mA on a USB meter). Replaced the battery, and it booted up with some life, but it got stuck at 1% and wouldn't take a charge, even though the phone ran longer than a true 1% charge would allow. Now, it has stopped booting entirely again. All external troubleshooting (cables, cleaning the USB-C port, force restarting) and checking the internal battery connection have been done. Looking for advice on whether this points to a faulty replacement battery, charge port issue, or a logic board power management/charging circuit fault.

iPhone 15 Pro: iOpener or Hair Dryer?

The Fix guide mentions use of a hair dryer to soften screen adhesive. Is the iOpener not sufficient enough to open the iPhone 15 Pro?

iPhone 15 Pro: iPhone 15 Pro touch not working on edges after two screen replacements

Fri, 08 May 2026 02:50:05 -0700

I am experiencing touch sensitivity issues specifically on the edges of my iPhone 15 Pro. I have already tried replacing the screen with two different 'premium' replacement units, but the problem persists on both. AssistiveTouch 'jumps' or snaps away when dragged to the edges. What could be causing this if it's not the screen? Could it be a logic board issue, a grounding problem with the spring contacts, or something else?

I lost a screw of the shield of the Face ID module which holds it down and I’m not sure if I really need that shield or not because I lost a screw if anyone could help me if the phone doesn’t need the shield or if anyone could find the screw that would help very much

iPhone 15 Pro: Screen provided looks different to old one?

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 13:15:37 -0700

The screen size is the same but has metal slots on back of the new screen but not on the old one. I have tried to fit but there is no slots in the phone to take the metal slots. Am I doing something wrong like removing the metal back of the new screen. It is also a lot thicker than the original broken screen? Ha e they sent me the wrong one or is it my mistake?

iPhone 15 Pro: iPhone turns off in a few minutes.

Sat, 11 Jan 2025 01:14:51 -0700

First of all, I am Japanese. I am using translation software for this post. So I apologize if the translation is inaccurate.

My Iphone15pro only lasts about 3 minutes after startup. I saw this site and thought it might be missing sensor data, so I looked into it, but being a novice I couldn't solve the problem.

So I thought I would ask for help from the professionals and post it here.

As for what I have done myself, I have tried replacing the battery, forced reboot, and initializing the Iphone using a PC. However, as for initializing the Iphone, I got error code 4045 and could not do it.

So I looked in the analysis folder of my iphone and found panic.full, but there were so many items that I didn't know which one to look at. (I'll put up an image)

But there was one recent item, so I'll put an image of it as well.

Please, everyone, lend me your strength. :)

iPhone 15 Pro: Face ID doesn't work after front camera module replacement

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 15:22:00 -0700

Under iphone 15 pro front camera page shows :

"This assembly includes the front-facing camera and Face ID hardware. These parts come as one unit, and the sensors are uniquely paired to your logic board. Replacing the front camera assembly means you'll lose Face ID functionality and, as of iOS 17.0, may still experience issues using your front camera."

I replaced the front camera and the Face ID doesn't work. Is there any solution to active the Face ID function?

Thank you.
