the 1.5 yr old ifixit adhesive tears super easy in comparison to dozens of 3-5 yr old originals which never tore so keep alcohol ready which loosens it up like butter in a hot pan

have the same issue, sometimes it doesn’t sit on the left side, other time not on the other, the difference is iphone not starting at all or looping with apple logo reboot…

reattaching can be challenging if the replacement cable is a few mm too long, forcing the connector away from its seat

thanks for the answer!

according to a guide online the replacement taptic engine should be reprogrammed with data from the old one… can this be confirmed?

please wear safety helmet too, integral helmet and cover mouth with an N95 facemask underneath, just in case the battery punctures, explodes, you knock your head back to the wall and slam it back forward hitting the screw in your eye and and inhaling toxic fumes! can never be too careful ;-)
