That sounds like a broken LCD or a disconnected cable. If you can, open it up and check all the connections and make sure they are intact. If they are, your LCD is toast :(

try DFU restoring with nothing but a known good battery and charge port, you may have to plug in the home and power button at first to get it into dfu mode.

That is the SIM card eject piece, it goes just inside the sim slot in the phone. This shouldn't have been removed during a power button replacement, what guide did you use?

Try cleaning the connector better and seeing if any components are missing. I think there is an inductor between the connector and the CPU so if cleaning more won't fix it ask me and i can show you where the component is.

@refectio i just used the board as a donor, used almost all the parts.

Either get a refund or return the lcd you bought and get a higher quality one. The one you got is defective and should not be used.

That looks like an lcd issue. Try a good one and see if it works, but you can still sell the broken one online for about $30-$80 depending on condition.

Try to get a dc power supply and take out the Taptic Engine then slowly increase the voltage to it to see if it moves. Or get a multimeter and measure the voltage across the pins on the lightning connector and make it vibrate and see if any voltage comes up.

Here's one of @refectio 's exellent answers: If you are comfortable opening up the phone, you can try : Open your phone and remove the logic board (follow this guide) Inspect the logic board, especially around the connectors and look for corrosion. Inspect both sides of the board. Unfortunately, 80% of the board is covered in shields. That's usually where the damage is occurring. Put your board in a container with >90% isopropyl alcohol and let it sit for a while. Use a soft brush, like a toothbrush and lightly brush away any corrosion you see. Rinse in alcohol and repeat. Let it air dry for a day. Re-assemble and hope for the best. You should also consider getting a new battery A professional repair shop that does water damage repair may be able to recover your phone or the data because they have access to pro-level ultrasonic baths and specialized cleaners as well as the skills (and parts) to troubleshoot your board. Many shops have a no fix/no fee policy so you don't have to spend money to find out if the ...

I am pretty sure you can NOT fix a stuck home button without microsoldering as i have seen this multiple times before on my friends iPod and my own. As for swapping the internals i know the lcd/digi assembly is the same but i'm not sure about the rest. Look at the teardown pics and see as i just googled it and couldn't find anything on it.

No iMac Pros were harmed in the making of this teardown. :)

As long as you do it correctly, it will be fine.

@pccheese good point; I do have a Samsung and I don't really have a preference anymore when it comes to iOS vs android but I hate it when people bash apple with false facts.

Bogdan Lol sounds like a Samsung fanboy that has to resort to having to argue with people over the internet to get their way because they can't in real life. Also it isn't nonsense; its facts. The iPhone line has almost always had more repairability and durability because it has only 1 glass panel instead of 2. And, Steve's point is nonsense because it is only a difference of .5 of a meter and unless you plan to take your phone scuba diving it isn't very relevant.

Does the display still work? Maybe glass only is an option if you can get it out.

I would be more worried about disabling cellular than disabling wifi.

Then you will need to get a new sim card, contact at&t.

My A7 can handle over 20 tabs at once and never lag- Apple for the win :)

I think this should have gotten at least a 5, apple was very generous with giving modular CPU and RAM when before they were soldered before, so they are probably taking notes from us :)

Not only does the battery come out, but the charge port does too. If that ever breaks it will be quick to fix too.
