iPhone X: How to remove display w/ stuck pentalobe screw?

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 11:54:50 -0700

https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/...

I'm in the process of doing a screen replacement for a iphone x but when I separated the display from the phone body, it seems the frame of the display screen remained attached the the phone body.

Does anyone know how I can remove the frame?

Also one of the small pentalobe screws is stripped and I am unable to remove using all the various DIY techniques (super glue, rubber band).

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 19:03:59 -0700

Hi, I have 2 iPhone X’s and My first one has a broken screen/ LCD with black spots already (its the one that I’m using). And my second iPhone X is Icloud locked, but the screen is working fine. I would like to put the working screen of the 2nd iPhone into my 1st iPhone . should I swap everything including the cameras? and should I reprogram the display? or should I just switch it instantly? Thank you

iPhone X: Why does phone reboot if volume too loud?

Why does my phone crash/reboot if volume is above half way.

My iPhone X will reboot/crash if the volume or ringer is over half way. Otherwise functions normal. The phone was recently factory reset and restored. Not sure if I should replace loudspeaker and or lighting/speaker assembly. Any help or comment would be appreciated!

iPhone X: Is it possible to fix a seawater damaged iPhone?

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 18:21:31 -0700

My iphone Xr fell in the sea 5 days ago for no more than 5 seconds. It was first working just fine and my biggest error was to charge the phone. It later started bugging and i put it in rice for 4 days. After getting it out and charging it, the phone is stuck in a bootloop : the apple logo keeps coming and going non-stop. I checked the sim card tray for any sign of water damage but there is no red line. I don't need to save any data as I'm aready saving my pictures on Google photo and I don't expect it to work as fine as it used to, but I can't afford getting a new phone. What should I do ? Is there any chance of getting my phone back?

iPhone X: Screen burn suddenly appeared on refurb. Scam?

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 09:28:41 -0700

Hi I bought a refurbed iPhone X on ebay 2 weeks ago. Very good condition cosmetically. Battery 85%. No face ID or True Tone.

The display looked great. I didn’t use the phone for a few days and let it run flat. When I used the phone again it had really severe screen burn. I can ready the labels of the ghosted home screen apps.

How could the screen burn have happened to severely and so quickly? Did the seller somehow do a temporary fix when they sold?

Cheers

Tom

Thanks for the info that's really useful.

Here's a photo of the ghosting. I don't see how I could have missed that in the first 2 weeks!

One interesting thing is that the ghost image has a different home screen image to mine, so it must have occurred before I got it.

If there's no software remedy I'll have to return it I think.

iPhone X: iPhone X occasionally loses carrier/cellular connection

Thu, 13 Jan 2022 04:38:37 -0700

Hello, recently I noticed that my iPhone X was always low on battery power (although battery health showed 87%). This led me to finding out that my iPhone X occasionally loses cellular connection and reconnects back. This happens quite a few times during the day so the battery drainage was huge. Then the connection drops started to become more frequent enough so that it was almost impossible to surf the web or use any app while on cellar connection. Sometimes when I was talking on the phone, the connection was lost, so the phone was giving “Call Failed” error and a loud noise could be heard from the speaker. I recently had my battery changed and the repair shop attempted to fix the issue (they thought it was an antenna issue) but the problem still remains. I have tried updating the iOS, resetting the network setting and I even had a complete factory reset, still hasn’t been fixed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

iPhone X: Is it easy to replace display-pmu of iPhone X?

Tue, 28 Dec 2021 01:05:09 -0700

Hello.

My iPhone X keeps rebooting randomly, 3-4 times a day and it takes long time to work normally again. After investigating panic-full logs, I found this message:

checkBusStatus SCL is stuck low; last write status 00000108 int shadow 00010100 xfer 40000000 fifo 00000022 for device display-pmu

Looks like there’s a problem with the display PMU.

Is it easy to replace only this part or will I need to obtain a whole new screen? Phone stores ask for $350++ to replace an iPhone X screen.

Thank you.

So earlier today my phone would not power on, Not even the dead battery screen would not show so i tried force restarting but it did not work so i plugged it in and it put the apple logo in a loop so the apple logo would go on for a couple seconds and would power off again and would do the same thing over an over and it turns on after 3 hours and then goes back to the loop and the first time it turned on it would say its plugged in and it would not increase my battery. So i decided to force restart it and it would not work i’m gonna try to use reiboot when my MacBook comes in the mail if there is any other way i could get it fixed, if that does not work please let me know have good day :)

iPhone X: iPhone X not powering on after a bttery replacement.

I just replaced an Iphone X battery. Said it wasn’t charging originally. Figured it was a battery issue. Just got an ifixit battery for the iphone X. When I power the phone on it still says it has no charge and gives the image of the cord with the empty battery. Wireless charging doesn’t seem to work either although just breifly tried it. Could this be an issue where the battery isnt connecting to the board correctly? Or did I just happen to get a faulty battery. Please let me know. Thanks
