I recently replaced a battery and damaged the flex cable of the front camera assembly by removing the battery with the display still assembled. (moved the LCD sideways which teared 1mm of the flex cable in the bended corner).

As I didn’t have a spare flex cable, I reassembled the phone and noticed the rear camera and flashlight stopped working also.

I ordered a new front camera flex cable assembly, which fixed the earpiece speaker and front camera but the rear and flashlight still don’t work.

It’s not a water damage issue, it’s caused by assembling the phone I guess.

Can someone explain what happened and even better, solve the issue ;-)

Thanks in advance!

I own a repair shop and do repairs on iPhone's for at last 3 years.

Now i got a iPhone 6s that drives me CRAZY!!!

A customer brought it in for a backlight damage, as always i checked the FL4211 for damage, none to bee seen also no burning, after i took of the CPU shield and the D4021 was a bit raised so i replaced it, after that the backlight came on and worked like a charm.

BUT, after the initial boot, the image on the screen was full of a pattern i have seen before, namely when you turn on a iPhone 6/6plus without the U2402 on. Vertical lines with some kind of checkered pattern.

I replaced 3 screens, cleaned the FPC, restored with latest os, nothing changed.

After i measured the "PP1V8_TOUCH_CONN" and here i found a open circuit, i made a strap on the "FL4209" and after that everything was in order with that line.

Still no touch function, i measured the following lines:

• "SPI_AP_TO_TOUCH_CS_L";
• "SPI_AP_TO_TOUCH_SCLK";
• "SPI_AP_TO_TOUCH_MOSI";
• "SPI_TOUCH_TO_AP_MISO";
• "TOUCH_TO_AP_INT_L";
• "AP_TO_TOUCH_CLK32K_RESET_L".

All of them give me a ~0.420V voltage drop to ground, no open circuit on any of them!

Also i mesured the "PP5V1_TOUCH_VDDH" when the phone was on and i got the 5.1V on that line.

I cannot understand what the problem is? Where am i missing something? There is no mechanical damage to the board, all SMD parts are in the right places.

Maybe someone has a ideea...

Thanks in advance.

I wasnt originally attempting a board repair until this fell off so im worried that it might be something critical.

From what i see in the schematic its part of the “NORTH DC CURRENT BLOCKING CAPS” Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/XIjDRMH

Thanks I appreciate all the help i can get, I’m interested to seeing what its function on the board is too :)

Really weird one this and I’m not 100% sure what testing can be done to figure this out, possibly testing certain voltages first?

My iPhone starts rebooting after 20-30 minutes or use after restoring its IOS every time.

Its battery health is 91%

I ordered a set of Logic Board and Touch ID for my iPhone 6s from China (AliExpress)

It worked for about 25-26 days perfectly without any problem.

After these days it started rebooting and getting stuck on Apple Logo.

To fix this I even tried to restore its IOS (11.4).

After restoration iPhone started and worked for 2 hours initially.

After that same problem again.

It is not even jailbroken.

1 day I was trying to solve this issue and I got an error while restoring it (Error Code 2009 on PC and 4014 on my MacBook Pro) both errors were on iTunes.

after that I tried to restore it using 3U Tools.

It successfully restored and worked for 2 days but after that same problem started of rebooting and getting stuck on Apple Logo.

1 day I opened my iPhone and checked the Logic Board and I found it was Water Damaged from Circuit area where Audio IC, 338S00120 Power Management IC, etc are present

I Cleaned it Properly using Alcohol and give some it some heat at that particular Circuit using a heat gun.

And after that I tried to restore my iPhone and it Success Fully restored and worked perfectly for 4 days now.

But again now it is showing same problem and this time it shows error 9 once on my MacBook Pro but after that I used 3U Tools and restored it and again tried to restore it using iTunes using my MacBook Pro and this time no error while restoring but that old rebooting and Apple Logo Stuck problem is still here.

I am very much frustrated now of this.

Can anyone please help me to solve this problem permanently.

Thank You!

Best Regards!

I bought used iPhone 6s in perfect condition, but I've got problem with it. I'm a runner and I use GPS trackers a lot. I tried to change the app from Endomondo to Runtastic but there was no effect. My tracking is full of waves and it is "rounded". I installed app called GPS Status. It shows sometimes my position with 10m accuarcy but the most of the time there is +-65m and even if the phone is not moving it shows speed occasionally. What should I do?

I also need to replace the taptic engine inside as the phone no longer vibrates. Would it be safe to do this after someone else has replaced the screen? (Open the phone again) Any help on what to do to safely replace my phone's screen or any thoughts on this at tall would be great! Here are some pictures of the screen and the crack in the top left side of the aluminum body:

I went through iFixit to avoid having the problem that was reported with using non-genuine parts or knockoffs through amazon of having weak or no cell signal with the antenna.

After installing the iFixit kit, I'm having the issue that I thought buying iFixit's more expensive part wouldn't cause. In places I used to get moderate 4G signal I'm down to 3G and in places where I used to get weak signal I have no signal at all. I can still get 4G in some places but it's rare now.

Is there something that I could have botched up in the phone or do I just need to return and get a new part from iFixit.

Thank you,

Denton

I can tap, I can hear sound coming out from the device.

I need to know if it possible to replace the FPC connector for the LCD and digitiser for the iPhone 6S as i believe i have damaged mine while replacing the screen - the LCD comes on but the touch response on the screen is not working. Any company in the UK would be appreciated however I am willing to post overseas

Thanks

It's done this after replacing the screen or disconnecting the battery before, but the charge usually goes back up after a minute of being on. This time it did not.

So I plugged it in while I tested out the new screen and thought the picture quality looked worse than the previous screen, which I got from iFixit last spring.

Text appeared somewhat blurry and the overall picture looked more yellow than normal.

The yellowness might be because the screen was dark and I was near a light and the brightness wasn't adjusting.

I guess that means that the ambient light sensor isn't working. But that is the least of my problems right now.

After using my phone for a few seconds I realized that animations were slow, force touch did not work, and multi-touch actions in general were laggy or inaccurate. After about a minute the phone restarted for no apparent reason.

When the phone came back on the battery charge was down to 1% and after using it for less than a minute it restarted again.

So I disconnected and then reconnected the screen but didn't snap it into place, having it just rest on top of the phone. This time when I used the phone it worked fine.

The animations weren't slow, force touch worked most of the time, and it didn't restart after a few minutes of using it. And the battery charge actually started going up. (The light sensor still wasn't working though.)

So I snapped the screen back in and all of the previous problems came back. This made me believe that the bending of one of the flex cables was causing this.

This display has cables that are longer than the original display and the one I got from iFixit last year. When I snap this display into place the cables press on the display.

So I used the phone for a day without pressing the screen back into place. The next day, however, the phone started to randomly restart even without the display being snapped back into place.

I could only use the phone for about a minute before it restarted. By the next day the phone wouldn't turn on at all.

I plugged it into a charger the white screen with the Apple logo came on but only for a few seconds. Now I can't even turn the phone at all. So I'm not really sure what the problem is. It could be a defective screen.

TDLR: After screen replacement the battery drained, didn't charge, constantly restarted, and now the phone won't turn on at all. At first I thought it was a problem with the flex cables but now I have no idea what the problem is.

If anyone has any advice or knows a solution help would be greatly appreciated! And if anyone knows if iFixit can swap the screen with a different one please let me know!
