iPhone SE: Which repair guide goes 1st when replacing battery and charging port?

Fri, 30 Dec 2022 18:44:39 -0700

I have repaired other devices using these repair guides, and have reviewed both guides for the battery and charging port for my iPhone SE 1st Gen. I would just like to know which order would be best to start with and at which point would be best to switch to the other replacement. I am hoping that someone who has done more of these repairs would have the answer rather than me learning the hard way.

Thanks

iPhone SE: Is there a different footprint between iPhone NANDs?

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 12:15:01 -0700

I’m looking into upgrading the storage on two iPhones and want to know if there is a difference between the NAND flash memory chips. Namely the 6s and SE (gen 1). I know I need to program the NAND before installing it on the logic board so will I need a separate programmer for each phone model? Are the NAND chips interchangeable between these two phones?

iPhone SE: loose wire after battery replacement

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 23:49:20 -0700

I broke one of the adhesive strips removing the old battery and it took alcohol and a lot of prying to get it out. When I did, I saw a small black wire with a bare end dangling

next to the power connecter. I must have snagged it with the spudger while I was prying. Can anyone tell me what it does, aka how badly I’m screwed?

iPhone SE: Sim Card Stuck Without Tray in iPhone SE?

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 17:33:18 -0700

I have an old iphone SE. I was switching between two sim cards with this phone. Then when i took out one sim card, i accidentally put the other sim card inside without the tray without thinking. Its now stuck inside and I cannot take it out. I have that pin where you press on it to eject but that doesn't work. I even have a tiny tweezer where I try to put it inside to pull it out and it doesn't work.

I do have super glue and saw a video of someone using it along with a credit card that is cut to get it out. Does that work? But doesn't that risk damage to the sim card?

What is the best way to take the sim card out? If not, local repair shop can do it or I need to go to apple store? How much would this cost? Does the apple genius bar fix this and if so how much? I read in old threads on reddit they did for free but that was years ago? But my phone is old and no warranty.

I do notice I can turn on my old iphone SE and use it without any issue via wifi but of course it doesn't read the sim correctly.

Anyone have advice on this? I'm extremely frustrated that I wasn't careful when switching the sim cards.

iPhone SE: iPhone powers up in DFU but won't charge even after restore

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 12:27:17 -0700

iPhone SE has started to shut down after charging to 100% then unplugging the Apple cable. Sometimes when it reboots it shows low charge %, sometimes it is high.

Thinking it was a software issue, I upgraded to the newest version connected to a Mac and now it won't charge at all.

I got it into DFU mode, iTunes recognized and restored it, but after it rebooted it still just sits on the lowest red battery icon.

The last time I could check, the battery capacity showed around 75%, but it seems like a failing battery not just depleted one?

The newer versions of software were rumored to cause power drain issues.

Could they have caused charging issues as well?

iPhone SE: Replaced rear camera. Screen partially not respond

Wed, 21 Sep 2022 07:01:23 -0700

My rear cam Stopped focusing so I salvaged one from a broken iPhone SE 2016 and replaced it. Now the touchscreen does not recognise a touch at the top of the screen, first row of icons. It works slightly at the left and right edges of top row.

I have already tried reseating the connections I removed to replace the camera.

iPhone SE: Jammed Power/Lock button

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 09:33:59 -0700

Top/power button jammed. What happens if I don’t fix it all and just use the accessibility button? Are there situations where having the top button working will be absolutely required? I tried cleaning but it didn’t work. Maybe the inside radio/push button is faulty. How to fix it?

iPhone SE: SE Battery Ribbon cable pulled a small wire loose

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 08:47:29 -0700

I have used ifixit battery replacement before with great results. My SE disassembly went well. Upon installing the new battery I noticed a very small wire that may have come loose when the ribbon battery cable and adhesive strips were being taken out. Its to the left of the battery along side battery ribbon cable. I’m concerned it might be a speaker wire or? Can you give an idea what is and if its a speaker wire? It is very small and look like it needs to be connected.

iPhone SE: Boot Loop On Plug-in, Button Fixes Do Not Work

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 08:46:47 -0700

My phone will instantly boot-loop on connection to power, white apple logo.

Will restart every 10 seconds.

Power + Home button holds do not work

Volume Up/Down buttons do not work.

Tried all buttons, the 'pressing onscreen trick' etc.

Nothing seems to work.

Of course, there is no connection visible on computer.

There is no response to any button holds whatsoever, the apple logo still loops every ten seconds.

Any body got a fix?

iPhone SE: Is the RCAM Mic located on the Audio Control & Power Button Cable?

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:29:43 -0700

When I record Rear Cam videos the audio is full of noise and static, but audio for FCAM Videos, phone calls, voice memos, etc works fine. I want to fix this issue, but don't know what part to buy.

I think I need to buy the Audio Control/Power Button Cable (iPhone SE (1st Gen) Audio Control and Power Button Cable), but I want to confirm that the mic on this part is for the RCAM audio.

Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Thank you.

iPhone SE: iPhone SE A1662: Bottom dock/Headphone 3.5mm jack port fix?

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 10:47:25 -0700

Hello,

My iphone SE works fine, except, the headphone port. I looked inside, it seems that the metal balls and the covering around it is....worn out, or damaged, or stuck in. I tried fiddling with it and cleaning also, buti think i just made it worse. dont want to replace the whole flex assembly for personal sercurity reasons. (i dont want any third party/used microphone or lightning port microcontroller.)

Why would they engineer it like that anyway? geez. each unit should have separate connectors.

anyway....my question is, can i cut the flex cable and take the jack from an iphone 5s and microsolder it on my SE to replace it?

iPhone SE: What really causes error code 9, AND an endless power-on loop?

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 16:49:46 -0700

It’s been a while since I posted a question. Here is the latest on my iPhone SE (2016 version).

I actually did have a display, and for a short time, the touchscreen worked!! Oops…I guess it didn’t work.

On the passcode screen, the words “Emergency” and “Cancel” were underlined. I have no idea why. All I know is, I entered the passcode, and my phone said, “Press Home Button To Recover” (something like that)…but my home button wasn’t working, so my phone went back to this endless Apple logo going on and off . I have tried using iTunes to recover it. I got error code 9. I tried pressing the power & home buttons at the same time and then pressing the volume up button until it becomes obvious that nothing is going to change. I think the logic board just needs all new FPC connectors. Would that bring my phone back to life??

I thank you for your help!! Stay safe!!
