iPhone 5s: Where to find logic board?

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 06:59:09 -0700

I have seen the replacement part on iFixit but it is out of stock and I need it urgently. Is there any logic board that is available, with or without the paired home button or anyone selling iPhone 5S for parts?

iPhone 5s: I need to remove a replaced battery with no tabs

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 06:55:36 -0700

I have a reconditioned 5s that may have had a battery replaced. It doesn’t have the adhesive pull tabs so I think it was jury rigged. Any suggestions for removing a stuck battery (other than heat)?

iPhone 5s: Not charging after battery replacement

Thu, 28 Nov 2019 07:13:42 -0700

I recently replaced my battery with one I bought from ifixit. It worked fine for a few weeks but suddenly it stopped charging. When I connect the charger it indicates that it charges but the battery does not charge at all. I opened the phone, disconnected and reconnected the battery and it seemed to be OK for the next weeks. Since yesterday I have the same problem again and the same trick did not do anything at all. Any ideas?

Thank you all for your help. An update: I checked the charger port flex cable which seems fine. Then I disconnected the battery and when I plug the charger the phone shows the apple logo. The battery cable also seems to be OK. Maybe the battery itself is faulty? Should I ask for a replacement battery?

iPhone 5s: Digitizer port is damaged, photos included.

Tue, 01 Oct 2019 20:52:55 -0700

My phone has weird issues. The number six will not type, I have replaced the digitizer twice and the issue remains. I bought a magnifier to take photos of the port and this is what I found.

Is this a hard fix? Can I buy one large part with it already attached? Do I need to learn to microsolder?

Thank you for your help!

iPhone 5s: How to work with iPhone 5s glass without OCA layer

Sat, 15 Jun 2019 09:04:58 -0700

Hey there,

we ordered iphone 5s glasses and thought that they contain the glass, the frame and the oca glue layer.

Unfortunately there is no OCA layer on the inside of the glass. So we can not connect the glass with the lcd.

Do we have to buy those OCA layers seperately?

Do you have some solutions or links?

Thank you for the response!

Onur from Mobile-Box

Thanks a lot

iPhone 5s: Battery capacity terrible after repair - stuck at 100 mAh

Sat, 25 May 2019 15:39:24 -0700

I did a bit of an overhaul on my iPhone 5s, replacing the lighting adapter and accompaniment, then a few days later replacing the front facing camera/prix sensor cable and battery.

Upon startup after the second set of replacement parts the phone seemed to work fine, but discharged amazingly quickly. I used Battery Life app to check the capacity and it was showing 100 mAh where it should have been 1550.

Ok I thought, must be defective, I'll put the old one back in for now. I swap them back and lo and behold, the old battery is also showing 100 mAh and discharging super quick.

So: coincidence? Did I cause a short somewhere? Software issue? Is it worth trying another battery replacement or is it just time to retire the phone and upgrade.

iPhone 5s: Phone dies at 20%

Sat, 11 May 2019 14:55:56 -0700

I recently got a used iPhone 5s from my aunt. It is running iOS 9.2.1 and everything works fine exept for the fact that the phone will die with 27%, 25%, or 20%. When I plug it back in to charge the phone turns on again with the same battery percentage as it had when it died. Is this a software or calibration issue or do I need to replace the battery?

iPhone 5s: iPhone 5s Stuck in recovery mode has black screen

Thu, 09 May 2019 05:19:54 -0700

I started having problems with my Iphone when 3g stopped working, wifi was good. Reset it still did not work. Couple hours later i was watching a video off youtube and it just crashed. Tried turning it on no response, plugged it into itunes which says it is in recovery mode and gives an option to restore but that will wipe everything and i have pictures that i have not backed up to icloud yet.

Got a Program called Reiboot that claims it could get around wiping the phone, detects the phone correctly dowloaded the correct firmware goes to "repair it" the apple logo appears then fades a couple of times then i get an error from the software to try again (this is the only time i get the screen to display anything, even when it's connected to itunes)

I have tried holding down the power and home button with itunes to get it out, it just disconnects and reconnect and itunes declares that it is still in recovery mode. Is there anyway i can recovery my photos and such before i try restoring it? i have tried 3rd party software but they cannot detect the phone and i can't use the default import option on windows as i can't select "trust this device" on my phone as the screen is black.

iPhone 5s: iPhone 5s "No Service/Searching" After iOS 12 Update

Tue, 08 Jan 2019 09:05:40 -0700

Hi Everyone, I Personally have the "No Service/ Searching" issue after installing iOS 12, and it was working perfectly until this issue came... so i factory reset + Restore using iTunes thinking it would fix the issue... and now it cant activate because i think it cant detect any sim card in or probably cus of the "No Service/ Searching" issue ... its an old second hand iPhone 5s and i kinda really want it to keep working till i get the 7 in few months. I've tried hard reset, ejecting and inserting sim but nothing worked... soo i'm wondering if there is any other way i can fix this or will apple role out any update so that will fix this issue?

iPhone 5s: Why won't my iPhone 5s power up?

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 06:34:00 -0700

So about a day before my problem, I was using my phone and it was down to 1% battery and I was on my phone for a least 1 and half hour and it was still on 1% battery (my phone was on airplane mode) after that it died out. so then I waited till morning to charge it, but after about a hour or so it wouldn't turn on.

This has happened before, but after pressing the lock button for a really long time it powered up again. (but this time it didn't work)

Things I've tried:

- I tried unplugging it and switching from different power sockets.

- I tried charging it from my laptop.

- I tried pressing home + lock button.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

thanks.
