iPhone 13 Pro Max: Earpiece speaker not working iPhone 13 Pro Max

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 05:39:23 -0700

Hi, I just replaced the earpiece speaker for my iPhone 13 Pro Max and the earpiece is still not working, could it be a dodgy connector where the gold pins touch?

Should I buy this to fix it?

Thanks

iPhone 13 Pro Max: Display Black despite screen replacement, touch still working

Sat, 03 Aug 2024 17:37:57 -0700

A couple of days ago my phone's display turned black during normal use, however touch, face id, etc. were all fully functional as i could hear the sound cues. i had recently replaced the screen with a third party one, so it wasnt too surprising. i took it out and ordered another, making sure to install it carefully and despite being a new screen the display still does not come on. i plugged it into my computer to work on and got the display to come up, and even used touchscreen on the phone to navigate through some settings. what fixes could i try to resolve this? hard resetting, restoring and unplugging the battery have all been exhausted. any help would be much appreicated.

iPhone 13 Pro Max: Earpeace speaker not working, even after replacement.

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 04:36:19 -0700

Hi, first off i'm aware that this question has basically already been asked, and I had posted a question/comment on there, but it seems like nobody will get redirected there, since it is marked as solved, so here's my problem:

I ordered and changed my ear speaker for my 13 pro max because it was super quiet and hadn't gotten better even after cleaning it. After i replaced it didn't work as all anymore.

Going back to the old original post asking this same question; someone commented to replace the WLAN card because that is the connecting piece for the ear speaker to connect to the logicboard. I followed those steps, ordered a new one and am still having the same isse.

My questions are: what other functions run through the WLAN card that I could test to see if the connector to the WLAN card might be the issue?

And if I am able to diagnose the card either as working or not, what would be the next best step to get the phone fixed? What kind of repairshop can fix or diagnose things like this on a deeper level, and how likely is it that its an issue with the audio chip or something else thats harder to fix. And is it even possible to fix this?

Any help is incredibly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Quick question: on the iPhone 13 Pro Max EU version (no Ultra Wideband), does the top-left antenna module (the one by the internal earpiece) handle Wi-Fi, 4G, and 5G, basically all cellular functions?

Thanks!

iPhone 13 Pro Max: The phone has a flickering green screen of death.

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 10:30:10 -0700

The phone was dropped, the whole backglass is shattered, but it was working after, then was placed in the bathroom and exposed to hot water vapor from the shower. It was not directrly sprayed onto with water. When I took the phone it booted up and was working normally, then all of a sudden the flickering appeared. I managed to remove the display without damaging it and found out that there are some bubbles of air or water(not sure) under this black plastic film on the back of the display. Could this be the problem? The screw that I pointed to was almost unscrewed, but I think nobody has ever repaired the phone. I would try and soak the whole board in 99% IPA(maybe scrub it with a soft brush) to see if that would change anything. How do you suggest to proceed?

iPhone 13 Pro Max: How to replace the back glass - Camera Lense Bezel

Sat, 30 Sep 2023 19:55:21 -0700

Hi guys,

I've finally got the entire back glass removed using a heat gun & stuff & figured out that I have to remove the camera bezel for the back glass to actually get placed properly. How do I remove the bezel (metal ring around cameras) temporarily? Is that as easy as heat it up -> pull -> place Glace -> replace bezels?

iPhone 13 Pro Max: iPhone 13 Pro Max - restarts every 3 mins / Sensor 0x800

Thu, 07 May 2026 12:04:10 -0700

Hello! I have a question. I recently fought with a heavy patient after several services performed by people who badly damaged the iPhone 13 Pro Max. In general, when it comes to the condition of the device, I immediately say that the tapes were not in the best condition, so one of them was definitely damaged during the next (my) disassembly of the back cover of the phone. I'm taking it on the chest! The situation is that the phone restarts after about 2-3 minutes. Evidently watchdag reports some HW corruption. I checked the logs and it is SMC PANIC ASSERTION FAILED - Sensor 0x800. According to what I found on the internet, it will be a damaged charging port. Given that it works properly, I bet on the tape from the microphone. Both microphones work ok. Hence my question - Can the fact that the microphone and the charging port work properly still mean that the tape is damaged to some extent? Are there people in the room who solved this problem?

iPhone 13 Pro Max: Reboots after charging flex replaced

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 01:10:13 -0700

Hi, I have replaced a charger flex on my daughter’s iPhone 13 Pro Max. Since then it is rebooting randomly. I changed out the battery also but I have tried a second battery and it’s still doing it. Panic log here. Can anyone identify what the issue may be…? I have repaired many phones over the years so I’d like to think it’s not an issue with my repair. Seems to reboot every 3 minutes

iPhone 13 Pro Max: Mobile data not working correctly sometimes

Fri, 24 Mar 2023 20:08:14 -0700

My mobile data stops working normally 1 or 2 times a day. I have to enable and disable airplane mode. It does NOT display "no service'' and I can still make calls and send normal text messages when it happens. Websites won't load but YouTube video's do. I tried most normal troubleshooting steps. Its on iOS 15.4.1. Does anybody else have this issue or is it caused by my carrier or is it an hardware issue?? This iPhone is only a week old.

iPhone 13 Pro Max: Is the microphone integrated into the charging port flex cable?

I'm having an issue with my microphone not working unless I use speaker phone. I haven't found a replacement microphone and I think it might actually be on the flex cable itself. Can anyone confirm this? If so is it a more diffucult repair than the typical battery replacement?

iPhone 13 Pro Max: My phone won’t charge through the cable anymore

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 20:19:57 -0700

My dad put his phone in his swimming shorts’ pockets and after that it gave him a warning that there’s water detected in his phone, so he left it out to dry until the morning but it still wouldn’t charge. We tried different charging cables but it still wouldn’t work. We’ve waited another day and tried putting it in rice (for some reason) and found that it only charged with an induction charger (magsafe). any tips on cleaning the port and what to do if that doesn’t work?
