I am not hasty or impulsive at all when it comes to repairs. I have an ifixit toolkit, a magnetic project mat, ischlack, and everything one would need to do a repair effectively. When I do repairs, I have iCracked's full length replacement video as well as iFixit's guide open (mostly for screw sizes). It takes me about 2 hours to do a repair. So when I gave the device back after only some basic testing, and the poor girl reported the phone having an unstable touchscreen, I was really nervous. I took it home and tested it, and sure enough, the thing was a mess. It kept scrolling all over the place, the screen straight up stopped working at minute intervals, and browsing through apps like the notes section or instagram were impossible - jerking, rapid movement, the whole shebang. I took it apart again and examined the pins, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary under my magnifying glass.

iFixit, my parts supplier, graciously sent me a replacement after 1 call.

Now, I've just finished the second screen replacement, and things are better, but unacceptable still. In spurts, the screen works beautifully, like new. But within a few seconds, it has now decided to click random apps, go completely nuts and pull down search every 2 seconds.

This is a paying customer. My buisness will shut down if I have to borrow a few hundred dollars for a new phone. I simply wouldn't be able to pay it.

Will a hard reset help in this situation? Could it be the software is rejecting the new hardware?

Please, please help.

EDIT: Also, I should mention that oddly, the screen resets this spasm right after you lock it and unlock it again.

I also just tested it with a timer - spasms can take 5 seconds to a minute and a half to occur.

My problem is, before i replaced the battery and the LCD, everything on my iPhone 5C worked fine (power lock button)

But after the repair, everything seem to work well except the power/lock button.

I want to know if it a mother board pry damage or something other ?

Note, my home button is working well.

Thanks

When I tried to restore it, it restores to 75% and then stops and says "this iphone could not be restored, error (50) occured" on Mac, and the same occurs on Windows but with error (1).I went to few forums, tried all the first safety steps, but nothing solved my problem!

So I was wondering, is it software or is it hardware related?

I dismantle it to clean the logic board with isopropyl to see if I could get some results!Nothing changed!

So I went to few more forums, and found out that it was related mostly to the logic board, mostly because possibility of unsoldered chip baseband (responsible for the network signal)! It says also it could be the SIM card reader, but most of the time, it is more often linked to the baseband chip! The problem is that kind of soldering is called micro-soldering , and it's not any shop next door, that can do that, you need proper equipment to do that!

So my question is simple, does someone knows addresses of shops doing this kind of works, from reliable sources?

the storage almost full pop up messages keeps showing and it will never go away, even when i delete a certain amount of apps on my phone, i dont even get to download more like 6 cuz the storage always goes to 0 ., it never lets me take more than 10 photos

i had to delete one app cuz it was completley useless to me but now i use this one app called songflip and even when i dont even use it like that , my storage goes to 0 immediately !! i had to delete almost every app just to see the same message over and over and its driving me crazy i tried everything and i still get the same thing and my storage stays at 0

I had to change the screen on the iphone 5C (which i have done several times on these phones) as well as the charger port. All seemed quite easy but as i hadnt changed the charger port before all went well. Put phone back together but all i get now is when plugged in i can see the battery symbol showing a slight red at the end and thats it even after leaving for over an hour. Also when i pull the charging cable out i get the cable symbol appear so somethings happening but not sure if i have missed something

Never had this happen with any other model. Anyone know what's going on here and if there's a fix

Apologies if this has been answered before but I couldn't find anything that quite matched my problem.

Got in a 5C to recover the data after a bad drop, touchscreen didn't function and there were very faint white vertical lines through the LCD. I tried a new screen, and was presented with a dark blue image (as if not connected correctly). I reseated etc and tried two more screens all of which had the same problem. These screens work on other phones. The original screen still has the same issue if plugged back in. Taking a known good genuine screen from another 5C presents the same problem as the original screen. To summarise : copy screens don't work and genuine screens have no touch on this phone.

I've tried disconnecting the battery and all the obvious solutions. I peeled off the black tape and have examined every component around the connectors and everything appears to be okay. Phone is not water/liquid damaged in any way.

Thanks in advance,

Sam

Been given an iPhone 5c which someone has attempted to replace the screen themselves, by the looks of it, they have bought a whole unit with the flex assembly built on, as the copper tape looks untouched/brand new.

Anyway, 2 faults are lines going down the middle of the screen. And comes up with different errors when trying to recover (it's stuck on the "plug into itunes")

The lines was simple, looks like a faulty screen, as I put a my own on there and it displays without the line.

The second though, I can not get past the different itunes errors which point to the usual, try a different cable etc.

When it boots, apple logo shows up, and then you get the nand flash error 601, then it comes up with the error on iTunes.

I've disconnected the front camera, as that usually gets damaged, and I've unclipped every flex cable apart from the charging port so it can still talk to the pc.

Tried the host files, different cables, different usb slots, but the same every time.

So I've taken the rubber off where you would attempted lcd, and directly under where the face time camera will snap in, it looks like a resistor of some sort is missing? Could this be the problem?

The picture isn't brilliant, but it's where the bottom right screw hole is, 4th resistor from three right, just under where the camera plugs in.

And I've recently noticed my phone has been having some problems. Like it'll go really glitchy and start moving things by itself, like it'll open an app by itself, when I try to type it'll erase what I wrote or type in a different letter, idk what to do.

Also recently my battery will go down to 5% and then die, and when it's plugged in it says it's charging, but then it atill dies,

And when it restores it's back at 5% and eventually dies again.
