So I am a noob in repair so i need some help.

I have two iphone 6 from my family i will be happy to fix them.

They fell in swimming-pool so they did not stay more than 45 sec or 1 min in water.

(I do not know exactly it is a long time ago like 6 months)

I will begin to fix which fell in W.C.

So the process to fix:

1)Dissassembly and look for corrosion

2)After put them (but which parts?) in alcohol 90%

3)Let it 3-5 hours to dry it

4)Assembly

5)Try to turn on

6)If it is not turning on,try to a new battery and lightning connector and maybe screen (which is the best order to replace?)

7)If nothing helps so it is the motherboard so it is dead?

I add some pictures because I do not see corrosion so I do not know which part first to replace because the corrosion...

So I put here the process if someone can tell me advices I am a noob.

And also the 3 questions I have I will be happy to receive advices.

Thanks in advance.

If I had to guess, I would lean towards defective hardware.

I was wondering if it is at all possible to unblock a IMEI locked phone. Ive got a friend that broke his phone recently. He claimed int against the insurance, and they locked it. The cellular and wifi now doesn't work. Is it possible to now unlock this phone. Ive read that jailbreaking can be useless, and theres a company that'll do it for a fee. They claim its an instant unlock, but I'm a bit weary as it costs $50.

The company is called 'Keys2iPhone.com'.

Has anyone used this site, does it work, are there any other alternatives?

Please note; this is a forum question in regards of my friends phone

let me give some details, the phone suffered an accident and the screen broke, since then, the Wifi antenna failed (and will stay grayed out, with a spinning bluetooth) and with his extreme drain, first i replaced the battery by myself with an alternative spare, the original battery was swelled, but the problem persisted even with the new one, since the screen was broken i didn't used the phone, so couple of days ago took the phone to an authorised iPhone service center to get the screen fixed.

Now i see the battery still drains, and well this all the info i could gather.

- Haven't replace the wifi antenna, so it might have something to do with.

- The Battery drains even when the phone's off (and almost at the same rate)

- Each % point last a couple of mins at top; but, the first 1% (100%-99%) last much more than the rest.

- The battery has been recalibrate multiple times.

- And as the picture in the links shows, coconutBattery says that this battery has just 1 loadclycle (even when i've calibrate it many times). this was corroborated by the team working on the authorised service.

-----coconut Battery status/ loadcycles, state and draining ratio ----

I really believe that the new battery is not working either, so i will get it replaced this week; but there's a chance that the real problem might be a logic board short circuit...

so any thoughts?'''

Sorry mate what I believe has happened it is stuck in recovery mode like the home button is being pressed the whole time. But I have tried to remove the button and do a reset but im getting error code(57) which is to do with the touch sensor could it be to do with the home button flex cable or is the a chip I could have damaged that controls the home button?

If anyone can help me choose a good screen, or let me know that these screens are not worth it, that would be great.

Furthermore I have replaced the screen on 2 phones, but the iPhone 6 is the newest and I feel lost finding a screen replacement. The skill is there though.

Thank you.

I know for a fact that the home button can not be replaced because then touch id will not work, plus you can never upgrade the phone again without getting a error 53. Can you confirm this?

So my last question. Can I replace the home button flex cable or is that also coded to the chip or home button touch id?

UPDATE: No..the person asked if signal problem could be because he changed the screen. As for me...I really don't know...I used plastic tools...quality spare screen. I'm asking my self now if maybe I put the wrong screw but..small update...when I do a factory reset the signal comes back for about 5 minutes in which I'm able to make phone calls after which the signal is lost again. I'm lost...can't figure out what it is. Anyone knows where exactly I'm suppose to look for damage signs? The phone was working prior to the lcd replacement, that, unfortunately I know for a fact.

Changing the screen on a customers Iphone 6 and I can't seem to get the proximity sensor working. I've taken it apart 8-10x now, ensure that the plastic "holders" for everything is positioned correctly and that the proximity sensor is dust free. It just doesn't work..

Front camera works, the light sensor works. (Auto adjusting brightness) everything except turning the screen off during calls...

Any tips? :)

P.S: All componets appear to be fully functional and I have no other screens / parts to test with currently.

The main goal is to restore and/or remove the passcode lock without updating.

I have an Iphone 6 that is dead? Won’t turn on, still heats when charging. I’ve tried several methods, power cycle, volume and power button combs., charging overnight, and applying force to the back of the phone. It won’t turn on, and itunes doesn’t recognize it. Help requested!
