iPhone X: Would replacing just the glass on an iPhone X fix the touch issues.

Mon, 22 Oct 2018 22:36:21 -0700

I have an IPhone X, the screen is cracked bad, but the oled is in good condition. The phone is currently suffering from random things getting clicked on. I have the equipment to remove and replace just the top layer of glass which leads to my dumb question. Would replacing just the glass fix the touch issue?

iPhone X: Did apple lock the screen programed to the cpu?

Mon, 30 Jul 2018 14:54:21 -0700

So I did some research about the touch id sensors and how apple locked them to the logic board. I did more research about the X, and I read somewhere that apple locked the face recognition from the screen to the logic board. Meaning, if I were to repair a broken iPhone X screen either, 1, the screen won't have functionality? or, 2, the face recognition won't function? can someone please answer this question... What i'm asking is if i replace a iPhone X screen, will the face recognition still work... bc I heard that they tided the restriction to the screen itself.

While removing the old waterproof seal (during a screen replacement) I managed to rip 1 grounding pad completely off and partially tore another one of the 5 grounding pads on the bottom right. How will this affect my phone and can I buy this part somewhere?

iPhone X: Can't restore TrueTone on iPhone X with 16.4, using JCID V1SE

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 09:04:30 -0700

I'm trying to restore TrueTone on an iPhone X after I replaced the screen. I tried the method that doesn't use the original LCD, but the programmer wasn't able to read the data on the new LCD. So I tried the other, and I was able to read the data on the old LCD and write it to the new LCD. I restarted the phone, but TrueTone still doesn't show up in the brightness settings. Can anyone help me?

iPhone X: iPhone X randomly bootloop

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 06:17:59 -0700

My iPhone X got water damaged and was sent to the service center. After a long period of time, they returned it to me "repaired." They told me that something in the charging segment had been replaced, but it still didn't work properly. It would work fine for a whole day and then randomly go into a bootloop the next day. I noticed that it was getting extremely hot near the cameras, so I reported it. A week passed, and it was returned to me. It was in a bootloop again, but they fixed the issue with the overheating near the cameras. It's worth mentioning that these bootloops occur once or twice a day, so it's somewhat better. I managed to retrieve the logs, and it seems that there's a problem with the l2c line. Can anyone identify the problem, maybe in a specific component, if that's possible? I would greatly appreciate it. I will paste the panic logs below.

"panicString" : "panic(cpu 3 caller 0xfffffff01c59c140): \"i2c0::_checkBusStatus SCL is stuck low; last read status 00010108 int shadow 00010100 xfer 00000000 fifo 00000000 for device ad5860\"

iPhone X: Why my iPhone x screen has green tint?

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 14:48:04 -0700

Recently while using my phone it unexpectedly the screen flashed and a green bar appeared in the top left side. Now my screen has a green tint, when the brightness is low the green tint appears (note that the green bar on the top always remains the same) but when i increase the brightness the green tint fades a little bit. My device is running the latest IOS 16.5 for iPhone X. My screen does not have a single crack, nor the phone has been near water, screen has never been replaced or fallen down. Can someone help me in resolving this issue. Thank you

iPhone X: Green Flashing screen after water

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 02:38:48 -0700

Hey guys, I’ve had an iPhone 10 for nearly 2 years now, a while back I accidentally smashed my screen and got it replaced for cheap, although I am quite certain that he did not replace the adhesive. Recently the phone has been exposed to water (not much at all) and the screen goes off and flashes green, although the touchscreen still works. This is the third time that this has happened. I have checked the sim card slot and there is no red sticker indicating water damage. The first time this occurred I left it in rice and overnight and it did work the next morning. I stupidly made the same mistake a second time and the demonic green flashing screen stuck around for 2 months, only to randomly start working again on a Sunday morning. Now I have made the same mistake for the third time… (i know what you’re thinking don’t worry) Am I right in thinking that I just need to open up the phone and give it a good clean, rather than just taking it for a pointless expensive repair? Advice, please!!

iPhone X: iPhone X boot loop issue

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 10:59:06 -0700

I am a technician with the skills and access to microsoldering equipment. I am trying to avoid separating the two board layers if possible because it is a pain to get back together and may not be necessary. The phone is doing a 3 second boot loop. I have tried to turn it on with only essential components plugged and I have frankensteined new hardware in order to rule out hardware issues. It is recognized by iTunes. I attempted every reset possible, and none of them work. When attempting to restore the iPhone through iTunes, the restore stops right after extracting software (likely because of whatever is causing the boot loop). On the board level, are there any pads I can test in order to confirm that I need to split the boards? Does anyone have a clue what might be causing the issue? On my USB detector, the output reads a stagnant 0.47A @ 5.09V

iPhone X: iPhone X replacement OLED screen operates by itself.

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 11:56:25 -0700

I recently replaced the screen on an iPhone X with a new iFixit OLED screen. Worked OK for a while but has started operating by itself i.e. screen moves, apps open it has even dialled an emergency number without human input.

I have switched off 3D touch and anything else I can think off but to no effect. I opened it up again and checked all the connections even replaced the battery and made sure the screws were tightened up to no effect.

Any suggestions on what may be causing this and possible solutions gratefully received.

Thanks for the advice. I cleaned the screen, body and case with IPA. I haven't ventured into the board yet as I wanted to see if that cured it first. It didn't, short video attached shows how it is behaving:

I've yet to check out the wiki linked by Alisha C, will do that now.

My rear camera started shaking and only taking blurry pictures. I tried restoring the phone with no change. I then replaced the rear camera with one from ifixit which then only showed a black screen. They sent me another one and tried again with the same result. Anyone have a similar experience or some advice?
