I'm currently in the process of replacing the screen on my Iphone 7. Starting to reassemble the front camera and noticed that the replacement screen doesn't have the two plastic holders/brackets for the front camera and proximity sensor (see link) like my old screen does. Is this going to be a problem? Is it possible to transfer them over from the old screen (they seem to be stuck on there pretty tightly...)? If I have to purchase these how do I attach them, would an adhesive of some kind be necessary?

Thanks in advance

In case you don't know which parts I mean!

The story is I got this from a friend who has no access to it he says it’s fully functioning and wiped it’s just he cannot access it due to lack of proof that he purchased it he heard about me and how I fix old phones and tablets and says if I fix it I can keep it as he already has the 12 so I’m asking here for help

(I added this for information I told apple what I told you they like aways said that it’s unfixable and it’s better off I dump it and get a new one)

Thanks for the help appreciated

I already updated it, so this error isn't making sense to me... Could this be an issue with the carrier or a hardware issue? I had another iPhone 7 previously that had a damaged chip that made it so that you couldn't connect to cellular or activate the device. Could that be the issue here? Or is it simply iCloud locked?

Thank you for the help!

My question is, will an iPhone 7 turn on without a baseband CPU? I know iPhone 6 series can turn on without a baseband, but I am not sure on iPhone 7.

So I thought maybe the battery is faulty. I changed again a new battery and phone keeps restarting if I try to log in to my Apple ID or update it. Battery does not show health and this time it won’t charge more that 27%.

All I can do is perhaps change a charging port. I don’t know the history of the phone and I don’t know how to check or fix problems on board.

Any advises or should I just toss this to trash bin?

n00b here!

I got this iPhone 7 Plus with qualcomm.

I give it direct power, It draws 0 current.

When BUTTON_POWER_KEY_CONN_L shorted to ground it draws 0.43A then ranges between 0.2A -0.4A

When in phone housing, it is not detected by itunes, I also tried with other housing.

Please guide!

Thanks!

After a few minutes, wifi will work but will be bugged. The phone says the wifi is off while it’s on.

When I restart the iphone wifi is greyed out again. Does anyone have experience with this? The second phone in 2 weeks that have this problem. First time the customer came back and saying her wifi was broken again. I reset the network settings and it worked the first time so I didn’t read too much into it and didn’t charge her money.

Sounds like a wifi chip problem, but I wanna make sure. Repairing the audio IC isn’t an issue but I don’t wanna make things worse after heating up the board when repairing audio IC.

EDIT: Just repaired the audio IC and left it like that. The customer is aware wifi can fail any moment but didn’t want to pay for the repair. Can’t do anything else than that.

I have dropped my phone from about 40cm in height from the table onto the carpet. The screen when picking up slowly faded to black and it never lit back up. It is worth noting the screen has not a single scratch nor crack, same for the phone. It landed quite soft and the home button does still work when pressing.

Tried restarting, DFU, all software options but without any resolution. Then opened it with the iFixit tools & guide as I read in a lot of places it could be just a simple dislodged screen cable.

I have not noticed anything particularly loose inside but I followed the guide anyway and disconnected & re-connected the two screen cables several times but no resolution. The Taptip engine/home button still works masterfully.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to proceed now? I have already another iPhone so it is not really that I want to use it, I just desperately am trying to get to my data as I also was unable to transfer the backup I made some time ago onto my new iPhone. I really just care about the data, which is why buying a screen replacement would be the last step to undertake knowing I have another phone already.

Many tthanks in advance!

KR,

Kevin

I have an iphone 7 with vddmain short.

The phone story is very normal, client said, he just put out the phone from his pocket and find it off.

I check it with DCPW, they show.

1,2 Volt and 1.4 Amp.

(my DCPS voltage down automatically when i connect short phone and it i manually up the voltagage button, nothing happen and remain same.

The back lower part is hot.

The hottest ic is q2101 and Tigris u2101.

I put out both of them and check the short present.

i change both ic’s but short remain.

Usually i check with Freez spray and always find the bad capicitor or ic, but in this case i cant find nothing strange.

Anybody has a suggestion plz?

Thanks
