Sat, 22 Aug 2020 02:04:28 -0700

Im trying to take apart my iphone x using the regular pentalobe screwdriver ive used for the iphone 3 to 7. None of my pentalobes will fit and I cant find any documentation on the difference in screw size from the old models. (ive tried like 15 different screwdrivers I cant figure it out)

Im trying to get at the screws at the bottom to open the screen.

What are the specs of the new iphone x screws?

iPhone X: Do you have a guide for replacing iPhone X wifi antenna? (Model A1865)

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 19:45:59 -0700

Recently dropped, damaged my screen. I replaced my screen but also noticed the wifi hasn’t worked since the drop. The settings will say it’s connected but the phone is not really connected to wifi. All of my other devices are functioning fine with wifi. How do I really know if a new wifi antenna needs replacing?

iPhone X: Volume up, down and silent buttons doesn't work after cleaning

Wed, 01 Apr 2020 02:06:32 -0700

Hi,

I cleaned the whole phone with “96 ethanol alcohol” (due to Covid19 precautions) with a piece of paper.

After that volume up, down and silent switch stopped working. It may drop some alcohol inside, but could that damage the buttons and is there any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance for ideas and help

The iPhone X use the OLED screen which leads to it is expensive to repair the broken screen. Now the Chinese factory has made out the LCD screen for the iPhone X, the price is cheap. But the screen function is not as good as the OEM, will you choose this cheap aftermarket screen or the expensive OEM screen? Here is a video about iPhone X aftermarket screen function testvideo.

iPhone X: Why is my iPhone X inverting colors after screen replacement?

Fri, 30 Aug 2019 10:58:08 -0700

I recently got my phone screen replaced after dropping it, and within the same day, it randomly inverted the colors. It now inverts the colors back and forth every twenty minutes or so. The 3d touch is also unresponsive at times. What could cause the problem? Should I ask the person who replaced the screen to fix it/replace it again?

iPhone X: Unable to activate after restore

Thu, 08 Nov 2018 21:08:34 -0700

The phone was ran over by a semi, and would freeze whenever you would try to unlock it with a passcode or face id. I have restored the phone to iOS 12.1 and now it says “Unable to reach activation server”. The phone does recognize the sim, and shows service, it just won’t activate. I have tried activating through iTunes, with no luck. 3uTools gets stuck for a few minutes on “Obtaining activation data”, then it says that it failed to activate. It is an AT&T phone, and we have already tried a new sim card. After swapping the boards out with another phone I have figured out that it is board level. What could be causing this in particular? I cannot see any damage to the board, however with the board being stacked, there could be damage that is not seen. Any help is appreciated.

iPhone X: iPhone X - Temperature Questions

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 06:16:43 -0700

Hey guys, have a question, my iPhone X gets warm when using snapchat up to 92 degrees Fahrenheit, but it also gets up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit when using safari or facebook. Texting and phones calls can also increase the temp but not as much only upto 84 degrees.

It generally idles a degree or two more then room temp and charging it can warm up to even when not in use.

Already done all of the resetting and setup as new.

Also dont believe its a hardware issue as this my second X, and also happens on my spare iPhone 7....

If any of you have a thermometer to check the temp that would be awesome.

Thank you.

iPhone X: Why is my iPhone starting to heat up when I plug in a new battery?

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 07:18:45 -0700

Hi all, I have a problem with my IPhone X. It wouldn't turn on after overheating. This happened after I tried a few power adapters plugging in and out to test the plugs/cables (not clever). So it overheated - became extremely hot and I struggled to hold it then I put it out in cold weather and it cooled down and would not turn on. So I decided to change the battery, I have experience in taking phones apart so it wasn't an issue. I stuck in the battery and when I reconnected one of the battery plugs it immediately started to reheat on the right by the power button components - it seems that the phone isn't dead entirely. Would it be worth for me to replace the power plug ( charging port) or anything else?

I will leave it unplugged for now as I know it is a hazard. Thank you!

iPhone X: Why is the phone in a boot loop after screen replacement?

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 15:19:40 -0700

Hi all - I've changed the screen on a friends iPhone x and it is now stuck in a boot loop. I have changed iPhone X screens probably. 20 + times and never had this issue and I don't think that I damaged anything this time round either.

Initially it would only boot loop whilst on charge and would do nothing at all when not plugged in so I thought perhaps it had to do with power delivery so I changed the battery too. Now it still boot loops, but both whilst plugged in and not plugged in.

I've tried hard resetting it on the phone itself and it didn't do anything. My PC. also won't recognise it when I plug it in via USB so I can't do anything in iTunes. Any ideas? Please help!

My iPhone X had a cracked back glass so my buddy offered to fix it for me. I let him and it all looked good at first, but now I have low WiFi signal everywhere I go, no Bluetooth, and my gps is not working.

Any idea on what could’ve happened?

Could it be the new glass blocking the signal?

iPhone X: Screen stays black after putting iPhone into sleep mode

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 20:06:35 -0700

I have an iPhone X I just purchased on ebay, took a gamble with one that the guy replaced a screen on, the new screen works after a hard reboot, but when I press the sleep button and turn the screen off, pressing it again makes the screen stay off, I can tell because the screen backlight turns on (the replacement panel was an lcd) but no content is on the screen, and the vibration motor works. I tried reinstalling the original screen with I think the same error, but the original screen is broken so I'm not sure if it was doing the same or not.

If I wait a short time before pressing the sleep button to turn on the display though it does turn on properly, idk why
