iPhone 3G: iPhone is stuck at Apple boot logo

Thu, 12 Dec 2013 04:27:53 -0700

I restored my old 8gb 3g iphone (to factory settings...) and it appears to have done that successfully. A message then came up saying "your iphone is restored, do not disconnect it until it restarts and shows up in itunes.." etc...

BUT...

it looked like it was going to do just that but after 45 mins now, it is not restarting, it just sits there with the apple logo showing. am i being too impatient?

any help would be GREATLY appreciated..

many thanks in advance,

Wayne

iPhone 3G: Replacement parts not working

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:03:12 -0700

So my sister recently got a iPhone 3g that was dropped multiple times. We ordered the parts that needed to be replaced which was the back case, new power button, and a new lcd screen. I tested the screen before I replaced the back case and it was working fine. I replaced the back case and power button and put everything back in. When i plugged in the screen it was still working, but then the digitizer pulled out. After that all i could get the screen to do is turn on and go white. What do I to fixed this?

iPhone 3G: Replaced the screen, now the touch screen doesn't work

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:58:31 -0700

I dropped my iphone 3G. ordered the correct part from ifixit.com , followed the instructional steps, replaced the screen.

aesthetically it looks great

functionally it doesn't work. I mean the touch screen DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. it won't respond to any touch. I can't even unlock the screen.

I re-did the attachement and checked all the cables being attached properly

iPhone 3G: Two screws not coming loose on side of iPhone?

Thu, 29 Aug 2013 11:56:59 -0700

I have tried unscrewing two of the Iphone 3g screws that are located on the side (under the tape) Nothing I seem to do will make these screws come out. The phone got wet a while back and I feel like they must've rusted in place. I cracked my screen and all I have to do to replace it is get these two screws off! Any advice would be wonderful.

iPhone 3G: iPhone 3G will not sync or charge after battery replacement

Wed, 28 Aug 2013 22:54:59 -0700

I recently noticed that my iPhone 3G's battery was running down stupidly fast so i decided to replace it. I checked that everything worked (which it did) other than my mac will not recognise it and it will not charge.

After looking around i found that it could be to do with the SMD element, but from what i can see it looks intact. I also think that the dock connector is working because whenever i plug it in when the phone is off, it turns itself on but will not say it is charging.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

iPhone 3G: empty battery with thunderbolt on screen

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:03:02 -0700

Just encountered a problem. I disassambeled my iphone to change the housing, then when i put in back together it worked fine, but it stoped charging, which I noticed this morning when I found my phone pluged to the wall with an empty battery and a thunderbolt on its screen...

So the question is might it be the broken wire of the dock connector? Im not sure because itunes still finds the phone in dfu mode and I even tried to restore it but it didnt work...
