iPhone 6s: iPhone 6s display black but showing up in iTunes.

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 09:36:13 -0700

Ok this is my sisters old iPhone 6s and she’s messed it up pretty bad. She stood on a wall and threw it onto grass, the screen popped out went black.

I ordered a new screen and weirdly replacing it didn't not fix it, its not the backlight the screen si completely off. there are no system sounds or vibrations, but ti shows up in finder on my Mac. I restored it and it failed, error 9. This was the first time it lit up (it showed the recovery screen). I tried to restore again and it worked. The phone is now activated and in normal mode and detected by my computer. There are still not sounds, vibrations or screen.

I have changed the screen, battery and dock connector and that didn’t fix it. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FIRST WITH EVERY REPAIR.

Any ideas what’s wrong with it? :)

iPhone 6s: Loud static noise from bottom microphone when recording or calling

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 15:09:09 -0700

Hi!

One week ago I replaced my Lightning connector because the older one wasn't charging anymore. After I reassembled everything and turned on my iPhone I found that when sending vocal messages on Whatsapp, recording on Vocals memo a static noise is present, sometimes it gets louder and sometimes it is almost imperceptible. Not only, I found that during calls the receiver hears a strange noise, like the one made by jackhammers. After that, I tried 3 new connectors bought from different shops online, but I had the same problem every time and I still have the same problem.

Edit:

I found out when calling with Wi-Fi only (cellular data off) the jackhammer noise doesn't exist, confirmed by the receiver, but a loud whistle is heard by both at the start of the call.

Can someone help me to find out what's happening?

This problem is haunting me.

Thanks in advance,

Denis

iPhone 6s: Changed the battery on my wife's 6s, and now she has "no service" mess

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 07:30:46 -0700

Changed the battery on my wife’s 6s (iFixit kit), and now she has “no service” message and can’t make or receive calls. Took phone to Target (where we bought the phones and set up our Consumer Cellular accounts, and Best Buy for a “geek support” visit, and both places told us you can’t replace the batteries in 6s phones, or you will lose service, and it can’t be reset. They both suggested getting new SE phones, that we need 5G, not 4g devices, as service providers (T-Mobile, our carrier) are no longer supplying signals to 3G or 4G devices like the iPhone 6s. I’m very frustrated, and trying to get an appointment at our local Apple store, for a Genius Bar appointment. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 6s: What is the film on the back part of the screen assembly?

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 20:16:16 -0700

Replacing Iphone 6s Battery

Noticed a small nick/tear on the rear screen assembly film.
What is the purpose of this film, and will it cause any issues if there is a nick/tear in it?
Should this be patched with something that is not electrically conductive, or just left alone?
The display assembly is stock and here is a picture with the nick/tear in the film

Hear is a larger image for the assembly taken from a stock photo on IFIXIT and an arrow pointed at the part i'm referring too

iPhone 6s: Broken flex caused the phone to die?

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 01:12:34 -0700

I was opening my iPhone, when the phone was on. I think the flex cable of the screen broke, because i was seeing lines, and the display was slowly fading. Now, when i try to turn it on, there are no signs of life, I even tried mute/unmute switch, but the vibration didnt work. Is there a possibility i burned something on the motherboard? Because if only the display was broken, the vibration would work. Please help ?

iPhone 6s: NFC (Apple Pay) screw hole damaged

Sat, 08 Oct 2022 09:59:04 -0700

Hello,

I replaced the On/Off/Volume strip in iPhone 6S. However, during the repair, I inadvertently damaged one of the two screw holes securing the NFC bracket (screwed it too tight, it cracked and fell off the motherboard). After that, Apple Pay stopped to work and I’m struggling to find a solution.

I read this topic: ApplePay no longer works (NFC antenna?)) which was helpful for me. However, because I damaged one of the screw holes, my case is different.

Below are photos of the damage:

What I can do to fix NFC? I was thinking of two solutions:

soldering the silver part of the NFC bracker directly to the motherboard (there is a little bolt in the motherboard in place of the missing screw hole). But I’m afraid this will be really difficult.
soldering/connecting the silver part of the NFC bracket to the silver panel covering cable connectors to the front panel (with 4 screws, directly below NFC bracker). I was trying to understand how this NFC bracket works and I suspect that there is a current flowing from motherboard (silver part of the NFC bracket) to the housing (screwed together with the back camera cover). So, my idea was to replace the source of current from motherboard (the original, damaged screw hole) to another source of current from the same motherboard. However, I had no success so far.

Everything else is working, especially Wifi, Bluetooth, 3G/4G, etc.

Is there something I can do to fix NFC?

iPhone 6s: Blank screen after drop. No screen damage. Now it’s dead.

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:54:02 -0700

Dropped my 6s on the top right corner. The screen went black. No visible cracks on the screen. I took it to a repair place. They recommended a battery change. That did nothing. The said they couldn’t do more since the screen wasn’t damaged. I watched a couple videos here and got the screen pulled off. Any ideas on what to look for to fix it? Thank you.

iPhone 6s: How long will it take for my phone to dry out before I can use it agai

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 04:27:52 -0700

I dropped my phone in water. It was in the water for literally 2 seconds. When I pulled it out, the phone was still on. I dried it off really good and powered it off. Everywhere I've read says anywhere between 24 hours to 48 hours is how long you should dry it out before turning it back on but their phones were submerged for minutes not mere seconds.

iPhone 6s: Important power lines and their resistances?

Fri, 17 Jun 2022 21:33:17 -0700

Hello. I have an iPhone 6S logic board with a small current leakage (20 mA). Could somebody please tell me what are the important power lines on this phone and what are their expected resistances, so that I can measure the resistances of my board' s power lines and compare them to the theoretical values?

iPhone 6S, water damaged. Hasn' t been dropped. Doesn' t power on. The resistance of the PP_VCC_MAIN is around 400 ohms, which I think is normal. I need to know which other power lines I should measure to find what' s the problem.

iPhone 6s: Vertical and horizontal lines on the screen after a drop

Wed, 04 May 2022 12:50:44 -0700

Some days ago, I dropped my iPhone 6S. It wasn't a high drop (less than a meter/less than three feet), but the screen got destroyed: the glass is slightly cracked on the top, the left part of the screen is almost completely black, and there are lines all over the screen. The screen also looks very pixeled.

The horizontal lines are only on the top of the screen, the vertical ones change position depending on what’s displayed. The touch screen responds without any problem on every part.

I tried to disconnect and reconnect the display, but the lines are still there. I was wondering if it’s just the screen or the logic board got damaged too. Inside there’s no visible damage.

Has anyone ever had a problem like this?
