iPhone 5c: does not turn on but recognized by itunes

Thu, 19 Sep 2019 07:49:01 -0700

My 5c does not appear to turn on. The screen is dark and when the power button is pressed and when both power and home button are prressed nothing happens. I have tried all the reset solutions available. I have also opened up the phone to make sure all cables were connected.

Even though the phone appears to be off, when it is connected to iTunes, after a few minutes I see the folowing pop-up message:

"itunes could not connect to the iPhone "phone name" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with iTunes". The phone also shows up in explorer as a storage device. These two items occurred before I disassembled the phone so it is not that something was done wrong putting it back to gether.

Do these symptoms mean that the battery is good and the problem is the screen? Before I order replacement parts I want to make sure I get the correct part. Is there any way to make sure what the root problem is?

Thanks, George

iPhone 5c: When iPhone 5c is turned on no image, when pressed, it works~

Fri, 13 Sep 2019 18:13:07 -0700

Hi,

About a month ago I purchased some parts to rebuild my old iPhone 5c, it had all the necessary parts except for the battery and the logic board, today I have finally received the last important piece, the battery, though when I was reassembling the phone the image on the screen suddenly disappeared like it burnt out. I tried several times reconnecting the screen but any attempt to use the phone rendered it turn the backlight on. However, after some “research” I was already thinking that maybe I somehow shorted out the logic board and that’s why everything was working fine except for the screen. At some point I was already thinking about reassembling the phone just to throw it away afterwards, but instead i pressed the screen and the image reappeared again and I was able to use touch screen except I had to press the higher part (well, where the flex cables are) of the screen in order to keep the image intact.

I don’t know what to do, Do you think that the problem is in the LCD itself or the problem is in the logic board?

Please I need some advice)

thanks in advance

iPhone 5c: Why is my dead iPhone 5 still not charging?

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 20:07:48 -0700

My phone usually dies after a short while of usage, but yesterday it lasted longer than normal, and said it was at 93% the entire day, until my last period class. I used it all that period because the class was art and I needed a reference photo for my project. All was going fine until it suddenly shut down. This was normal for my phone, so I didn’t stress about it too much. Then I got home, plugged it in, and went to work on something else. When I came back, about an hour later, and tried to turn it on, then all that would show up on the black screen was a battery with a slim red bar on the left side. I thought it was the cord or the plug (even though I had used this cord and plug several times before) and so plugged it into a different cord and plug. This repeated about two more times before I tried plugging it into the computer, and then into a portable charger, but nothing worked! What could be up with my Phone?

iPhone 5c: Unlock and retrieve water damaged iPhone 5c

Sat, 03 Aug 2019 07:03:51 -0700

I have tried various ‘free’ data retrieve software that keep leading me to a very high buy now price. Dr fone has been the only promise for unlocking and retrieving but Id like to find a cheaper version. Purely because if this doesn’t work then I just spent £70 on software for nothing.

I need to unlock the iphone but the screen is not working at all it only shows a half the screen pixilated.

# Is there a way to connect the iphone and use my mac keyboard?

Dr Fone, If I was to buy the software which package should I go for?
Is there a cheaper or free way to do this?

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 14:28:03 -0700

Is it possible for a super charging station to ruin a battery life? Since using this charging station my battery doesn't hold a charge well like it did before. Or is my phone just old and it's a coincidence?

I replaced a battery on my iphone 5c following the instructions on ifixit using an ifxit kit. The replacement went well, the device powers up and the display works however the touchscreen does not work at all. There are no apparent cracks on the display and the device was working before I replaced the battery.

Thanks for any suggestions.

iPhone 5c: Why is my touch screen not responding, and can it be repaired?

Fri, 29 Mar 2019 08:01:15 -0700

Just yesterday I dropped my phone and it cracked. It’s only a crack smaller than the length of my thumb but it’s in the top right corner of my phone. Ever since then the touch screen has completely stopped responding to my touch unless I push down on the crack. Is there a way this can be fixed? How much would the repairs cost?

iPhone 5c: iPhone lcd works perfectly but does not respond to touch

Wed, 20 Feb 2019 16:25:56 -0700

I put my iphone 5c down for 5 minutes, in an otter box case, and it is working fine. I return to my phone and push the home button, the screen lights up and shows me a screen to input my password. so far so good. I try and put my password in and its not receiving any of my touches. No matter how frantically I touch the screen nothing is responding. So i figure its a bad screen, I buy a new one, install it carefully, step by step, turn it on and the screen lights up and I have the exact same problem. I cannot find anyone with a similar issue (maybe I dont know how to use google properly) Does anyone have any ideas?
