I have recently purchased an iPhone 6, 128gb space grey with a cracked screen. I need to remove the pentalobe screws to replace the screen and get the phone up and running.

Unfortunately the previous owner has completely stripped one of the pentalobe screws and I can not remove it with the correct tools. The screw has no shape left whatsoever (see photo) and will not grip at all.

I have tried different shaped screw drivers, the rubber band method and a stanley knife. I have heard to try super glue but I am scared it will seep into the thread and make it harder to remove. What is the best method to remove the screw?

Is anyone else suffering issues with the new iPhone 6 screens. I have had a couple now where the glue appears to be failing and the glass and LCD are coming away from the frame.

Both times it appears to be near the mute button, which causing the glass to bounch slightly and light leak between the frame and rear of the LCD.

Any tips on repairing them?

It's stuck on 1%and doesn't go any higher.

When I unplug the charger it turns off even if it's been left all night.

It keeps switching on and off.

As long as it's in the charger it works fine.

It doesn't switch on if I plug it in to my computer it keeps showing the apple logo then a black screen on and on.

I at least wanted to back it up in case of a reset.

Sometimes when it switches on it gives 100% but then shuts down quickly even if plugged in.

I get the sign that it's charging but it doesn't increase.

After all things didnt work and the Touch ID fails, I have a bad thought, that Apple did something in iOS 10.0.2 which prevents the Touch ID to work after the iPhone was disassembled. Something like in the past with the Error53… I hope someone can prove me wrong and help me out with the issue by providing a trick how to reset the Touch ID and complete the Touch ID Setup.

When I'm in a whatsapp call and I put the loudspeaker on, people won't here me same as video whatsapp call.

I try on facetime and it does work even a voice call or video call.

I think its something wrong with the mic or the app.

I open the phone everything is connected properly on the front camera ear speaker but the phone gets really hot and the front camera and ear speaker doesn't work. You guys have any idea?

Best.

Okay, i replaced a iphone 6 phone screen yesterday and since the replacement, when i boot the device it is stuck on the boot screen?

I let the phone run out of battery, plugged it in and it was stuck on the charge icon. I done a hard reset and again no changes.

I have attached a video of the phone.

Bad news! CRUD!!!!!! Yesterday I just dropped my new naked iPhone 6... I left it in my hoodie's left pocket while I was at my job, I ducked and reached down to get an ingredient to make something and IT FREAKIN' SLIPPED and hit the tile floor lightly and it made a small DENT!!!! Ughhh the worst day ever.... I almost LOST IT.. I was just glad it's still fully functional and works.. also, luckily it just a really small fall on the edge side with no screen crack or any malfunctions... BUT I still felt extremely bummed afterwards. So what I am unfortunately left with is a small nasty dent scratch... It's not very noticeable but it sure as heck noticeable to me. Every time I think of my iPhone, bam I think about that darn dent.. HORRIBLE.. It is a constant reminder of how I seriously messed up and should've left it in my pocket that is bigger and gotten a protector case immediately after buying the iPhone 6.... :(

Is there ANY WAY, HOPE, to fix this problem? Sanding? Replacement? Send to a cellphone shop for repairs? Online repairs? Replacements? Anything?? I would do anything to get rid of those dents. Sadly, I have no insurance for the iPhone... so I can't just go back and get a new one or w/e.. Blah, I feel extremely miserable right now; you guys don't understand.. Thing is, during the time I thought if I keep my grip on it very well, be very cautious with it, I will not drop it at all until the protector case comes from mail so I can put it on.... but I made the stupid mistake of putting it in a small hoodie pocket NEW and NAKED...!!! And it dropped on it's own..... THE MADNESS! LESSON LEARNED!!! I WILL NEVER PUT ANYTHING expensive and unprotected IN MY HOODIE POCKET EVER AGAINNNN.. BAHHHH this is driving me so CRAZY and INSANE! Sorry for venting guys, it's just sooooo frustrating and sad... a $750 phone and bam, I dropped it already.... UNBELIEVABLE... *SIGH*

Thank you guys for taking the time to hear me out on this one.. You guys must've had enough of my rage-ranting lol..

Alright... so I want to get to the bottom of this... how do I fix the dent? There's gotta be a way... any advice and help on what to do next would seriously, greatly be appreciated guys... I would do whatever it takes to get it that rounded edge that has a small little dent restored and back to normal-looking again....

Does it mean backlight fuse is burned? If so, I don't think I can do it without some real fine tools and micro scope. How much would it cost for the repair shop to fix it?

Thanks.

Suddenly my friend told me, that somehow the device is not working and when he gave it to me (the same day) the iphone was stuck in a boot loop:

I tried to disconnect battery and also the reset with home button and power button, but still the same problem. Funny thing is, that I cant put it into DFU (it seems), because the device is restarting too fast. After that I tried to take another Display (from my working device) but the problem is the same.

I did not use the wrong screws (3 smallest bottom, biggest on the right, middle left)!

Please ifixit and community help me out :(

Thanks in advance.

I have a business of doing repairs for the past 4 years and I know what I am doing generally but this one has got me stuck..tried resetting network settings and all that, I think it is a physical problem. Any ideas? What to replace or checkup on?

It's just an iPhone 6 not a 6 plus.
