Why does my iPhone 5s have a red screen?

2: Plug your device into your laptop/pc and open iTunes

3:Boot your device into recovery mode

4: An IPhone message will soon pop up. click "restore"

5: The Whole process will take 15-20 mins. WAIT PAITIENTLY AND DO NOT USE YOUR DEVICE.

6: Done!!! SPAM removed

Try un plugging the camera and see if it turns on. I think it's something with the front camera. Happened to me recently and I unplugged the camera and phone functions correctly but does not have a front camera. Little better then giving your customer a nonfunctioning phone

I got the same problem. I chaged the camera. Works fine now. Try it.

I had same problem with 5s after testing everything it was the copper sticker on the front camera and speaker was ripped

Do not apply cover plate on flex. it might work, because it works for me.

I recently ordered the "iPhone 5s LCD Screen and Digitizer Full Assembly" from iFixit to replace a shattered LCD on my phone.

The repair went well, thanks to their guides & videos, but as I booted up the phone for the first time, the phone crashed with the red screen.

The first thing I tried was a hard reset -- didn't work. Then, following advice in these forums, I disconnected the new/replacement front camera assembly and booted the phone, and the red screen went away. Problem solved: it was a faulty front camera assembly on the replacement part. (I didn't try and figure out if the problem was caused by the proximity sensor or the camera specifically, since they are essentially one part.)

In the end, I ended up spending considerably more time to move the OEM front camera assembly from the shattered screen to the replacement screen, discarding the defective front camera assembly which came on the replacement part. That worked, too, proving that the replacement part was indeed the problem after all.

So far, all is well after a few hours with the phone. I hope the red screen doesn't return.

hi, i've disconected all from the motherboard (but touch and display) and it keeps showing the red screen, i tried to restore it but i can't due to an unexpected error (4013)

I had this issue too I just used Reiboot it fixed it but I had it when it was free but is dose alot if you want to check it out http://www.tenorshare.net/products/reibo...

my be I broke your front camera....

disconnect the front camera and turn on again phones, if turns on normaly then u need buy new front camera.

Replace new front camera flex

This is being reported more commonly. Try removing the LCD sheild and testing the screen to see if it works in that condition. (Not as a fix but to see if this is the problem).

The first time this happened to me it resolved itself after about an hour. Now a month and some days later it started to happen again. I came across this page and did the hard reset (after turning the phone off and waiting a while to turn it back on, which did not help) I did the hard reset and it resolved the issue.

had this problem the other night it's due to a damaged proximity sensor flex.. Disconnecting the cable from the motherboard and the phone boots up 100% reconnect it turn off and on the red screen will return. New proximity flex fixes the phone thank you!

I had the same problem with a customer of mine just change the lcd and it will fix it..

I just changed the screen of my iPhone 5s.

The screen color does not matter. I have a white iphone and I put a black screen. To unlock the red screen, you have to change the front camera and the touch id.

Now my iphone feature 100%

I fixed it by constantly turning it off and on then I let it die and turned it on by charging it.I just kept messing with it and it eventually worked.

I have the same problem on my sister's phone. It started when the old battery died. We put it in recovery mode, because we weren't sure if it's a software or hardware issue. After we figured out it was the battery we replaced it. After that we tried to restore the phone and it doesn't work. It starts the update and then when the phone's supposed to be updating the red screen shows and it restarts thus failing the update/restore and then the 4013 error pops up on itunes. We tried disconnecting and reconnecting every cable in the motherboard, even the battery but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any further suggestions?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I looked it up and people said it could be a faulty logic board or long screw damage.

when i turn on my iphone 5s is shows apple logo first den a red screen for one second den this process continue always. i connected the phn to my PC and trying to restore flash etc but it is showing me some error ! what would be the problem ?

my iphone 5s on only apple icon than red display & close the phone.

Most common cause of this is long screw damage . It is likely that the screen has been removed and the screws holding the LCD connectors in place have been put back in the wrong order. The screws are different lengths, and if not put back in the correct positions it will damage the tracks in the bottom of the screw holes.
