iPhone 6 Plus: How to fix touch disease?

Sun, 04 Jul 2021 20:00:30 -0700

So recently, i think my phone has obtained the ‘touch disease’. I purchased a new phone screen and it started working again until it would randomly stop responding to touch unless I pressed down on the screen. I found this video on YouTube for a somewhat simple solution by placing adhesive tape over the two IC chips in the motherboard. It worked for a short while until it started to lost the touch again and I would have to gently press down on the phone screen to regain touch (which I believe is not safe, I know). So I go back in to the motherboard and try again with a different brand of tape, wondering if that the problem. While doing this, my finger touched the IC chips. In the video I was watching, it said to be careful as to not to do that. Did that make my problem worse? What do I do now?

iPhone 6 Plus: Lost pictures after iOS failure (no backup)

Tue, 27 May 2025 00:09:07 -0700

I am devastated.

After replacing a faulty screen for my iPhone 6 Plus, I attempted to update to the newest iOS 10.3.2 (or something) and my phone just CRASHED. After the "verifying" stage it turned off and never turned back on again. Hard reset was prompting me to restore using iTunes.

After "restore" did NOT work, DFU mode did NOT work (for data recovery), iTunes forced me to fully factory reset.

I had to factory reset THREE TIMES until I got the phone to turn on. Needless to say that all my data is gone.

I had NO backup of my camera roll whatsoever. I had a day-before iCloud device backup, without pictures though.

Question to you, did anybody EVER managed to recover deleted data after factory reset directly from iPhone?

I just tried dr.fone software which found some data, but did NOT found the pictures I was looking for. Do you think I have a chance?

I have a iPhone 6plus that was driven over, completely destroyed! There is no throwing a new screen on it. However the internal components seem mostly intact. Can the memory be put into a dummy phone to recover pictures?

iPhone 6 Plus: Is my Backlight filter blown?

Fri, 13 Oct 2017 04:53:52 -0700

I was working on my phone as it has touch ic disease, and until i got the money to fix it i was placing a little piece of stock paper under the heatsink that fastens agaisnt the sceen connector ribbons(done this before with no problems). The phone was working right before this, I had even fixed the front camera earlier that day, and when i try to turn it on that screen is black. When I plug it into my pc it detects an iphone but iTunes doesnt show the usual iPhone menu. When I turn the phone on I can feel the touch ic area getting warm/hot (not too hot i can hold my finger on it) and windows detects the phone as stated earlier. I tried turning off every light in the room and shining a bright led flashlight on the screen to see if I could see anything and no dice. I know I forgot to disconnect the battery (also just to mention i did try unplugging and reconnecting the batter after the screen would not come on) rookie mistake. Before I buy the repair serivce on ebay (which gives me no refund if ive misdiagnosed the problem) I'd like to confirm with a community of what I consider experts that it would most likely be a backlight filter issue.

iPhone 6 Plus: Major curtains after Touch IC replacement

Fri, 08 Sep 2017 22:58:07 -0700

Hi community. I posted on here the othwr day about issues when replacing a touch IC then losing the whole phone to shorts.

I thought i would post up what has happened after nearly all repairs i have dome to see if anyone else has had the same problem and may know what it is. I have never got a new batch of chips (due to trying to find a new supplier and buying 'new' but never getting new) so its always my first suspect, but has anyone else had this problwm and it ended up being something else??

(No its not the screen being the issue)

I haven't dropped it, replace any parts, nor exposed it to water damage . I tired the hard reboot, plug it into different apple charges and cord, and into iTunes on my mac and MacBook Pro. Still won't work. Note: only thing i didn't use is the finger id touch pad from day one. I covered it up.

iPhone 6 Plus: Can iPhone cables like the ZeroLemon 10ft. Cable ruin the battery?

Sun, 12 Aug 2018 08:02:32 -0700

I've had both and iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 Plus that the battery went bad and would not hold a charge long anymore after many attempts at draining it and resetting the battery. I have used a ZeroLemon 10ft cable on both and another after market care charger with a charging block because my Jeep has and actual plugin. Can these aftermarket cables ruin the battery life? I don't see how they are just cables.

Thank you

iPhone 6 Plus: issue after touch ic replacement. "curtains"

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 09:55:37 -0700

ive done numerous touch ic repairs but this is the 1st time im seeing this. yes, i ran the jumper to m1 then insulated it with uv solder mask, and used coins as heat sinks as to not reflow surrounding components. my issue is lines on the screen and cant see apple logo. 1st i tried reballing the meson ic from the phone. when i got the lines i assumed a bad chip and used a new one. still same issue. any ideas what i can check? i already went down the lcd fpc in diode mode with multimeter and compared to known good board. everything seems right. then i pulled meson and turned on the phone still doing the same thing with the chip removed. just looking for ideas as to what i can try next.

Edit: I got it working, turns out it was a strand of the tape that covers the touch ic area partially shorting one of the resistors (r2434/r2435)

I have been searching online, it sounds as though this brick might be happening because I have a replacement screen from a 3rd party such as ifixit?

Has anyone experience this issue? If it is a real issue I would imagine we are all done working on iphones?

iPhone 6 Plus: Will replacing the screen fix nonresponsiveness and white lines?

Sun, 14 Aug 2016 16:42:16 -0700

Basically what the title says. This is my second phone with this problem, but it's now well outside of Apple warranty. I'm wondering if installing the replacement screen/digitizer assembly will resolve this?

Can it be solved by just disassembling and cleaning the contacts inside the phone?

All I need is for the phone to be functional enough to last until the next one comes out in the fall at some point...

iPhone 6 Plus: Blue/green pressure marks after screen replacement

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 10:26:38 -0700

I've just replaced my cracked iPhone 6 plus lcd/digitizer assembly and now there are blue and green marks showing around the edges of the screen. its only particularly noticable when the device is displaying a dark image. the blue green marks are the type you see if you were to push on your screen too hard with your finger and are appearing around where the screws affix the metal backplate to the screen assembly, and a slight green tint in the bottom right corner (also near a screw).

What really gets me though is that these marks only show when the screen is snapped into the phone, if i have the cables connected but the screen out of the phone, the marks vanish. I've already checked around the frame for any irregularities or debris that might be pushing on the back of the assembly and have tried removing or loosening the screws in question, for some of this it helps and for others it remains a problem. I've also tried bending the clips that hold the screen to the phone in various ways to no help. This was never an issue on the old cracked screen nor a functional screen i pulled out of my brothers phone.

I'm sure this isn't worth the 4+ hours I've been fidgeting with it, i was just curious if anyone else has had/fixed any such issue.

Thanks so much, feel free to ask questions if you have them.

I have this iphone 6 plus phone that suddenly the screen stopped working, what happens is I see a blank screen with the backlight lit up, when I connect the phone through a lightening port to a computer or a charging adapter the backlight lights up.

Is there a way to make a backup/clone the data from this iphone knowing that the feature "data protection" is enabled and the passcode is known. can I verify the passcode to the device without having to use the screen? also There is no apple logo it's just a black screen with backlight, if the home button is pressed the backlight turns on.

iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone shuts down/not responsive when screen turns off.

Fri, 14 Jan 2022 23:54:09 -0700

Realy strange, my screen works when my phone boots up etc. , but once it dims (by hitting the power button, or just waiting till it dims by itself) it won't turn on again by pressing the power button or home button ... I am forced to reboot my iPhone by long pressing the home and power button. Sometimes it even boots up by itself if I leave it like that.

Could someone tell me what the problem is? I am the second owner of the iPhone so I have no warranty.
