iPhone 8 Plus: After drop - cameras, proxi + ambi sensors not working; reboots random

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 14:38:57 -0700

Hi, so my friend just dropped his iPhone 8+ from 2 meters a few days ago. The only problem he saw was broken display.

So he changed the screen and the button next day and everything except touch ID seemed to be working fine.

We started testing the phone today and unfortunately came across a few problems - all 3 cameras are showing black screen, the flash, ambient and proximity sensors are not working at all, and also the phone reboots randomly (sometimes after 20 minutes, often after about 2 minutes).

He told me that the rebooting was not happening before he changed the screen but can't tell about the cameras and sensors next to it, because he didn't test it.

So my question is what could be the problem(s)?

Is there a chance the cameras and sensors are disabled by one repairable error?

Any ideas are welcome, thank you!

iPhone 8 Plus: Lost track of the screws + no power or charging

Fri, 12 Aug 2022 11:31:11 -0700

Hello,

A friend of mine dropped his phone and smashed the front and back of his iPhone 8 Plus. I thought I would give repairing it a try but I bumped the table and lost track of the screws. After 5 hours or so of carefully matching the screws, I thought I had done a pretty good job. Then I put the phone back together and I tried to turn it on. I saw the apple logo briefly and then the screen went off. I then tried to charge it but nothing happened. It doesn’t even appear to be pulling any power from the wall. Have I messed this up beyond repair?

Thanks

I ordered what I thought was the correct screen for my iphone 8 plus pink with white screen. However, today the screen arrived and it's black. I dont really care as I like the black screen. Can I use it?

Thanks Jerry. So I hooked up new screen and...nothing. Re-Hooked up old screen and it still has the lines on the scree. Not sure why new screen does absolutely nothing (blank). Any ideas?

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8Plus screen wont work after battery replacement

Wed, 06 Jul 2022 13:06:56 -0700

Hi,

I just replaced the battery on my iPhone 8 plus with the iFixit battery.

However, when I turn phone back on, all I get on the screen are thin colored lines and kind of a block of lines at top right of screen (see attachments). All the cables are secure in the iPhone. Any idea what could be wrong? Bad screen? Logic board problem? I'm at a loss and hoping someone can offer a solution.

Thanks

iPhone 8 Plus: Display touch stop working when home button flex is connected

Mon, 30 May 2022 03:25:44 -0700

Hi. So i recently opened my iPhone 8 Plus to replace my battery. Before I opened it up, the touch id was already not working and the home button was working intermittently but the 3d touch and normal display touch was working fine. However, after opening it up and reconnecting the flex cables, the touch only works if the home button flex cable is not attached. Once i attach the home button flex cable, the home button starts working but touch stops. I have to mention that the home button flex cable also seems very loose and I have to attach the metal bracket to keep it in place. What on earth is going on?

iPhone 8 Plus: Does anyone have a cutting laser machine?

Thu, 26 May 2022 22:31:28 -0700

Hi, everyone knows the iPhone Because It's tough to Repair so I just bought cutting laser machine if you start jerry-rig Everything video a few months ago he shows a machine that cuts the adhesive.

Si I bougt a similar one with the same laser power and it cut it, the bad news is that I need tell the software where to cut but I don't find on google a place where I can download the schematics of the backglass.

Im the only crazy one that bought a 200 dollar machine just to save 2000 from the feature video?

iPhone 8 Plus: Repair iPhone 8 Plus screen, while I was gone my nephew tried to help!

Tue, 10 May 2022 08:46:50 -0700

Ok so I was replacing a screen on an iPhone 8 Plus and I know the drill always know where the screws go so they go back in the correct place. But… I took a break while I had to go to work and while I was gone my nephew thought he could help with no experience at all. Not to mention that I believe some of my screws are missing. I’m already ordering a replacement set of all the screws that go in the phone but now I need a diagram breakdown of which screw go where with the size and position of all the screws. If there is anyone out there that has a link to such a diagram or even an appropriate YouTube video that goes into that much detail it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks to all who respond.

I have bought a refurbished iPhone 8 plus like 4 months ago, on its lower-left corner was darker than any other spot on the screen of the phone, I first thought it was maybe the current screen had damage and later I might decide to purchase a new one to get rid of the darker spot, unfortunately, it keeps on showing even on the new one purchased

what can be the cause of it?

iPhone 8 Plus: 4G signal stopping after a week or so

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:20:53 -0700

Hi All,

After smashing and replacing the screen on my iPhone 8 Plus, the mobile signal isn't working properly. 3G and 4G, different providers (all the same network though), different SIM cards, and a new antenna (wifi diversity) cable but still the problem persists. The SIM will work perfectly on an iPhone 5S. I've also done a FDU restore on my phone also.
I'll get signal back for some amount of time (a few minutes to a few weeks) if I turn the phone off then back on, put airplane mode on for a minute then off again, or even if I let it sit without a sim for a while, then put one in. After a while it'll switch between SOS only and No Service.

Thank you all for your help.

I replaced the cracked screen on my iphone 8 plus with an ifixit replacement screen (IF372-002-3). However the new screen does not light up or respond in any way. I swapped the old cracked apple screen back on, and that worked but after 3 times taking the ifixit screen off and back on, checking all the connections, etc. it still does not work. Any suggestions?

iPhone 8 Plus: Unable to hook battery to motherboard (pictures)

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 22:53:35 -0700

Hello. I was able to take the battery out of the iPhone 8 Plus and replace the new one, but I cannot get the battery connector piece and the piece below it to click into place so that I can attach the screen/display and test that the battery is installed and the phone will turn on properly.

I’m not 100% sure but I think I might have installed the battery too far to the right/close to the motherboard and it also may be up a bit too high.

Do I need to purchase a new motherboard? What do I need to do to fix this?
