It’s very likely that you have a bad battery. I would get it replaced. I have had a really tough time lately finding consistent quality in battery replacements from several suppliers.

Not usually. As long as the adhesive is under the battery and not bunched up, youll be fine. The only adverse effect I can think of is if the adhesive is bunched up your battery may press against the mid plate on the screen causing LCD bruising that occurs when pressed in that area.

So you have the “press home button” message and you cant do so because the button is broken? If this is the case, youre in luck. There may be other ways around it, but the iPhone 6 home button is easily replaced. They are also cheap and can be had for less than 5 dollars.

Have your tried the old battery (if it still works) to see if the problem persists? You could have a bad battery.

Did you make sure it was clicking before the laying the screen back down? The black bracket has to align almost perfectly so that the raised dots on the bracket and home button touch. That’s what gives give the click. If they are misaligned then it’ll either be jammed feeling or mushy.

The first thing to try would be to replace the battery again. Getting a flaky battery is frustratingly becoming more common in the repair industry. Ive tried multiple suppliers with similar results.

In my experience the only way to get it straight (depending on severity of the bend) is to buy a new back housing and transferring the guts of the bent iPhone into the new housing. I’ve done this before with good results. Many times when you try to bend back the housing you can cause damage and in the case of the iPhone 8 you have to worry about the glass back breaking as well.

Definitely a board level issue. It could be the charging IC or another chip.

It’s more common than you’d think that a drop causes one or multiple cameras to fail. The only way to know is to order the parts you need and rule out a possible board issue that’s causing the camera failures.

I always use the caddy with double sided taped. Install Windows 10. Windows 7 is losing support in 2020.
