Today my iPhone 4 fell for the first time and my front glass broke immediately leaving an ugly mark...

I can still use the iPhone like nothing happened, so there's probably no internal damage. Can I just replace the glass itself, leaving the LCD (I assume the LCD didn't take any damage from the fall)? I don't know if the glass is glued to the LCD or if something similar would prevent this repair.

I have found someone on eBay that is selling the Front panel glass separately, for $62 compared to $148 for the LCD Touch Digitizer Screen Full set

I figured there's something wrong with the baseband chip, but then I tried restoring via redsn0w to iOS 6.0.1—and after the restore, the phone worked again. I have restored my phone 23 times since then—but out of those, only 3 were successful in getting back my signal—and then I lose it again if I charge my phone via charger or PC. If the baseband chip is damaged, then how come it works? It's version is 3.0.4, I think. Please help, as now I'm stuck in recovery mode and keep getting an error -1 after the phone reaches the final "updating iPhone baseband" step in the update.

I have looked at the iphone 7 screen and the pictures of an iphone 8 screen + the teardown of the iPhone 8.

From my understanding the screens are exactly the same.

Thoughts?

I had replaced a display on iPhone 7 plus for my customer. Everything works fine, but home button not. Touch Id works properly but home button clicks only on finger on. For example; I can't make double-tap for one hand control, because only on touch it clicks.

Had anyone this problem? Some reasons?

Thank you, Victor

I dropped my iPhone 5 in the toilet one month ago, picked it up after ½second = water damaged.

Everything works, the sound, the screen, the wifi.. you name it. Except that it cannot see my SIM card and it always keeps on searching even though my SIM card is not in. Therefore cannot make any calls or use 3G. (I tested the SIM card in another phone, and it works perfectly.)

I tried to contact an iPhone repair shop in Copenhagen without succes, and no places cover for water damaged iPhone so my last hope is here.

Im pretty sure is the logic board that is broken somewhere, but I have no idea how to fix it.

If someone here will be able to help me (and other with the same problem) I would be really happy!

Thanks,

Emil

I dropped my iPhone 5 last night with no cosmetic damage to the phone or screen. However, I noticed two vertical white lines and the entire right side of the touch screen is unresponsive. I cannot access certain apps, edit settings, access voicemail archive screen, save alarm clock settings, etc. I did some research and read it may be the digitizer cable, but how do I successfully know if that is the cause? Will replacing the LCD display solve the problem? Please help, I would really like to be able to use my phone again!

Thank you so much,

:(

This has happened fairly constantly at seemingly random times, and thus far, the phone has never been hot to the touch. It even happens while the phone is physically cold to the touch (outside in 20 degree F weather, for example).

Today I can barely use the phone, it just says "Temperature" pretty much all the time. For a few seconds, sometimes it goes back to the normal swipe-to-enter screen, but it goes right back to the Temperature warning screen after that.

Everything else on the phone works, so I'm sure the repair went smoothly otherwise. Again, this took a few days to start showing up.

Here are the relevant facts, along with some things I've tried to troubleshoot and such:

• I installed a CPU monitor but nothing seems to be taking up the CPU or anything like that.
• I've killed all the background apps and it still happens. I've also left it on airplane mode for hours and it still happens.
• I've tried a full reboot, as well as a restore from backup.
• The battery is not draining faster than normal or anything like that.
• This phone has no history of water damage and i don't sweat a lot or anything like that (nor do I keep it in my pocket).
• I've never seen this temperature warning before swapping the battery.
• I don't use a protective rubber case or anything like that, the phone is just sitting on my desk.
• Charging the battery no longer works because it doesn't seem to charge while it's on the "Temperature" screen.
• I saw no corrosion inside the iPhone at all when replacing the battery.

I'm running the latest firmware (6.0.1) and it's not jailbroken.

Thanks for your help!

My questions are:

1.) Where are the photos stored? (In what component?)

2.) Can I take this component out and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos?

3.) How do I do this?

I hope someone can help!

Regards,

Steve

I've also tried a lot of software updates and resetting the iPhone itself, but it keeps failing on me and doesn't allow me to proceed to anything else.

I have replaced the front screen. Everything went smoothly, and the new screen worked like a charm. But after three weeks or so, the ear speaker suddenly became extremely low—at normal volume levels, it's impossible to detect any sound.

So now I'm stuck talking with the speaker on or using a headset. Which is not too cool...

I have done the works, as far as I know, for the software. I've done a hard restart and used iTunes to reset the phone to original settings.

None of these attempts have worked, though. I´m not that technically advanced when it comes to electronics. So I am just wondering if any of you could give any tips how I should fix it.

Is it a hardware error or a software problem? The speaker works. I can turn it up and down with the volume buttons, but it's all extremely low—essentially useless. Is there some software error that may have dialed the whole volume setting down somehow?

It's probably a hardware error, and my Apple guarantee is no longer valid, as I have changed the front screen. Should I try to replace the ear speaker myself, or should admit defeat and pay a pro to do it?

I hope you guys have some good ideas!

Thanks.
