iPhone 6s: 3D Touch on replacement screen

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 19:41:41 -0700

Hello Ifixit! My question is that if your replacement screens have the same 3D Touch feature on them. I always use that feature on my phone and well I think it’s very useful. Another question by the way, also related to the screen, is that what do you think...should I replace my screen because I have like white splotches on it. So like when I open an app like YouTube with its white background I can see them much more than on a dark background. One more thing is that well I don’t think it’s water damage because in Apple website they say it’s more of some foreign thing intruding the LCD. Also what do you think is causing this? Should I replace?

iPhone 6s: Back camera gone after water damage

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 11:54:48 -0700

Got an iPhone 6s with some water damage. Managed to get back everything to working order except for back camera. Since it was missing PP2V85 I removed U3200 which had suffered a short with VccMain.

Unfortunately CAM_EXT_LDO_EN seems to be missing too, although the pin is shiny and undamaged.

Does CAM_EXT_LDO_EN show up only when camera cable is connected or should I just say goodbye to the main camera ?

iPhone 6s: iPhone missing recovery mode, just Apple logo than backlight

Mon, 26 Feb 2018 04:42:42 -0700

Hello, I have a ln unusual problem with iPhone 6s.

It stuck on using and turned off. After trying to turn it on, apple logo appears and then just black screen with backlight on.

When I’m trying to go into recovery mode, it shows just black screen with backlight on.

I tried going into DFU and it success. iTunes sees it and starting to restore, on iPhone appears Apple logo with progress bar, but it won’t start filling and iTunes gets an error 6.

Tried with 2 laptops and 1 pc and 3 usb cables but get the same error.

Tried with 3utools and it starts recovering in DFU, but than it shows an error like “A problem when going from DFU into Recovery mode”.

So I’m guessing that it lost Recovery mode somehow or there is a problem with some components on the motherboard.

Anyone had similar problem?

EDIT: The new information that may be useful is that I tried with another fully charged battery from another working phone and got the same error when restoring, but when I put back that second battery in the working phone, it shows like it’s empty at first, then put it to the charger and the working phone turned on and showed full battery like it was.

iPhone 6s: Why do I have to hard reset my phone to get it to charge?

Tue, 20 Feb 2018 19:04:54 -0700

I bought a phone in pretty bad shape from my friend and it needed a new screen and battery. I got on ebay and ordered a new screen and battery. The old bad battery wasn't that bad but it drained fast and i had to plug it in to the charger and then hold the power and home buttons to get it to hard reboot and then it would charge. I was excited for my new battery for the reason i wouldn't have to do this anymore. The new battery drained at first until i broke it in i guess but i still have to hard reboot it to get it to charge, and sometimes when i just plug it in and not reboot it and unplug it it will still say the phone is charging for a few seconds. Does anybody know a fix to this?

iPhone 6s: CPU getting really hot and barely charging

Sat, 17 Feb 2018 08:33:12 -0700

Ive just recently changed the battery on my iphone and the LCD and it was working perfectly fine, however when i changed the battery i teared the flex cable for the silent swtich. So I replaced the whole chassis and put everything back into place and replaced the flex cable but for some reason the phone turns on when I put the power cable in but does not charge/goes up a few % but does not show the lightning icon. The CPU gets really hot and the flashlight does not work.

I have removed the EMI shield for a better view of the circuit board.

iPhone 6s: Display spoil after refurbish lcd.

Fri, 17 May 2019 08:16:51 -0700

Hello, recently when I'm doing refurbish 6s/6s Plus LCD I found out that everytime I done cleaning the oca on the LCD after removed the polarizer then the ribbon spoil. I found it when I'm doing the last check before put into the machine. The problem is when I touch the LCD ribbon or trying to flip gently the display gone strange. I was wondering is it the oca remover caused it or the static. Please help!

This is the problem when you touch the flex or flip it.

iPhone 6s: iPhone is not responding at all

Tue, 26 Dec 2017 07:40:10 -0700

Hi guys,

i recently bought an iphone 6s 16gb from ebay and the description said that it has power problems (not powering up at all). The phone doesn't have an iCloud lock and it is not blacklisted, so i grab the opportunity to try repairing it.

I received the phone and i tried to turn it on, but it is not responding. I plugged it into the wall charger, but nothing happens, although i leave it there for over an hour.

I plugged it to my Mac but nothing happens again and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

I also plugged to a windows pc, but nothing happens again.

I tried to hard reset it, but no respond again.

I also tried to put it in DFU mode, but nothing happened.

'The only sign is that it gets hot when i plugged it to the wall charger.

Do you have any idea, what the problem is?

Is there any way to find out if my logic board is damaged?

Is there any possibility that a battery replacement will short out the problem?

Thanks in advance.

iPhone 6s: iPhone 6s stuck on bootloop after screen replacement (With Pictures)

Fri, 01 Dec 2017 11:40:23 -0700

I have an Iphone 6s stuck on a boot loop after i changed the screen, everything was done right as I've checked my work over multiple times. The phone turns on and stays on the boot screen for about 5 minutes and shuts down and starts all over again. One thing to consider is that the phone does not have the metal plate covering the screen/camera flex cables, and it does not have the plate covering the battery flex. Could this be an issue with my camera flex? or perhaps the motherboard?, any input is appreciated.

I have attached some pictures here

Edit: The phone is recognized by itunes and enters the recovery mode screen. I don't want to update the phone but i dont mind restoring. Weird thing to note is that whenever i reset my phone (Home Button + Lock Button) the screen does a weird glitch and turns purple then shuts off.

iPhone 6s: Which part tells GPS which way phone is pointing?

Wed, 29 Nov 2017 11:21:53 -0700

The GPS locates me fine, but when I'm in motion, the arrow indicating my direction of travel is ALWAYS off, usually by about 30 degrees counterclockwise.

I've tried recalibrating the compass and turning location services on and off over and over again... no dice.

So I figure perhaps there's a part I can replace that would solve this problem, but I don't know which part!

Thanks!

iPhone 6s: New phone will not work with old sim card.

Sat, 04 Nov 2017 07:52:00 -0700

I recently bought a new Iphone 6s. I tried transferring my sim card from my iphone 5(worked completely fine) to this new, unlocked iphone 6s that I bought. When I did, the service worked extremely inconsistently, and more than not I was unable to use any phone services. There would be times where I could call from this new phone, but usually it either said no service or it showed my company in the corner of the iphone and would still not work. I have tried contacting chatr multiple times to fix it, but nothing they done has helped. Also, I bought a new sim card and it still does not work consistently in the new phone. What should I do?

iPhone 6s: Issues with aftermarket 6s screens and iOS 11

Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:01:04 -0700

In work today we found an issue with aftermarket 6s screens and iOS 11, the touch is dead, no life in the digitiser whatsoever. I tested about 5 6s aftermarket screens over 3 devices all running iOS 11. What I don’t understand is the same after market screens I tested on iOS 11 work completely fine on 6s’s running 10.X.

Has anyone else found this issue?

Is Apple clamping down on independent repairers?
