iPhone 6: Touch ID not working after screen replacement.

Sat, 15 Dec 2018 13:18:20 -0700

Any one experiencing Touch ID not working on iphone 6 after a screen replacement since IOS 10 was released.

I have replaced 100's of screen with no issues with the touch ID. I have now done two iphone 6 with IOS 10 on them and both have non-functioning touch ID. This look like it might be a similar issue as last year with error 53.

iPhone 6: Only backlight on the screen...

Thu, 11 Jun 2020 12:59:47 -0700

Hi.

I have an iPhone 6 in for a screen replacement. I had two screen left, but i´ve had an issue with both.

First I tried the screens without reassembling the small parts (camera, LCD shield plate ect), and it worked fine.

When i reassembled the small parts it just have backlight. Works fine if I connect the old screen

Also: the phone will not turn on when the new screen connected. But if the phone is powered on and I connect it, I get the backlight..

This happend to both.. Can´t see any damage on the flex cables.

I´ve done alot of iPhone repairs, so I´m not a newbie :p

Hope someone can help me understand what happened/what went wrong :p

iPhone 6: Home Button Unresponsive After Water Damage?

Wed, 15 Sep 2021 12:37:03 -0700

My Iphone 6 had recently suffered water damage. The water damage came from an accidental drop into the pool. I did the rice trick and after about 5 days it worked. But, the home button doesn't work. However, it does respond after a few minutes. I have done my research and am recently trying an alcohol trick. I used a cotton ball with a dab of rubbing alcohol and pressed on my home button with a circular motion. I was told that the rubbing alcohol dries up the water, therefore contributing to my thoughts of clearing up any leftover water damage. After this, I have chosen to put it in rice for another day. Any ideas on what I could do, if this doesn't work, without going on the inside of the Iphone?

iPhone 6: How do I fix a broken ribbon cable?

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 11:10:51 -0700

I was replacing the battery in my sons iPhone 6 and one of the ribbon cables has a tear in it. Now the home button will not work and the touch screen will not work. When I look on eBay the front screens only have 2 connectors not the 4 that I disconnected when I was replacing the battery. What do I need to get to fix this?

Thank you

iPhone 6: Unresponsive/laggy touch screen after replacing front assembly

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 07:53:06 -0700

I recently replaced the front assembly/screen on my iPhone6 and have been having some issues with the touch screen. The digitizer becomes unresponsive or lags behind touch input.

keyboard buttons don't fire (especially keys at the edge of the screen)
Keys will lag and then fire multiple times (e.g., Backspace key will start deleting text long after I attempted to remove characters)
Scroll becomes jittery and/or completely unresponsive

Locking and unlocking the screen when the touch screen starts to act up has no effect
Restarting the phone has also been unsuccessful in fixing the problem, as the behavior returns shortly after boot
reinstalling iOS (thought it might have been a software bug)
reinstalling the front assembly; disconnecting and reconnecting the cables

Should I attempt to clean up the cables with rubbing alcohol to remove any oil that might have gotten inside the phone during installation?

Is there any app that I can use to see how my phone is registering touch events?

Any other ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?

iPhone 6: What does Q1403 do?

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 16:18:23 -0700

okay I got a 6 that had water damage, removed shorted caps etc. Board looks very good, but it is missing Q1403. When plugged in, the cpu heats up a bit but that's it. I was thinking q1403 reported the battery voltage, and if its not there it would probably show 0% but I could be totally wrong. Could I get this board to fire up without it? I tried to source this ic from another board but I was taking it off a board and then dropped the ic on a carpet floor, then I ran out of donor boards. anywahy, what does it do and can it work without it?

iPhone 6: How to test if the Tristar has failed or the battery

Wed, 17 Apr 2019 07:25:01 -0700

just thought i would share with you a simple way to test if your charging fault is (board related) or (battery related) this test is simple and accurate.

start the phone and open up a app or menu to activate the wake up

now unplug the battery.

if the phone stays on then the tristar high speed switch is good as its switched to main voltage through the charger. the fault will then be in the battery.

if it powers off then the fault is in the tristar.

for fake charging the tigris ic will be the cause.

happy repairing

iPhone 6: iPhone 6 Battery Draining while phone is off.

Hello, I am having an issue with my iPhone 6 Battery and am looking for some help. After replacing the battery and the charging port my battery appears to be draining while the phone is turned off. I will go to sleep with battery at 100% and turned off (holding the power button and sliding my finger across to turn it off not just standby) and I will wake up in the morning and the phone will not turn on and will require charging again. Anyone have this problem before or a similar problem?

iPhone 6: How to avoid losing screen sensitivity after OCA glass replacement?

Fri, 21 Sep 2018 11:19:59 -0700

Hi,

I've started changing the iPhone 6 glass using different equipment (we remove and replace the polarizer too).

We are using OCA glue and an autoclave for this activity.

How can we avoid losing sensitivity on the touch screen?

The screen definitely loses sensitivity after the replacement.
