Also, while my phone is plugged into the wall charger and my phone is on, it will only last maybe two minutes. Then, this grey film appears and the phone turns off—and then because it's still on the charger, it turns back on.

So I had cracked my iPhone 6 screen and, after replacing the screen, my front camera is working as it normally should but when I switch to the rear camera, the camera app freezes. Also, the flashlight does not work. Any ideas how working on the front of the phone could have caused this or how to go about fixing this issue? I have tried restarting the phone, and updating the iOS to the latest version.

I replaced the power button flex cable on an iPhone 5 because the button was not working anymore. I put the whole thing back together, but it won't turn on anymore. Nothing happens when I hold the power button.

When I put the phone on the charger, it starts vibrating every few seconds but doesn't turn on. When I connect it to my computer, the computer does recognize the phone, but the phone keeps vibrating and won't turn on. I had a spare battery, so I tried replacing that, with the same result. Does anyone have any idea what's up?

My phone works almost perfectly, battery stays charged, connects to itunes, speakers work perfectly, screen lighting perfect headphone jack works, microphone works, fingerprint works, etc. The only part that has problems is the power button, sometimes it doesn't work. It's very sporadic, I can go hours with it working fine, then other times it will be glitchy and take screenshots every time I try to use the home button. When the power button isn't working, a black screen also pops up (at it's worst times about every minute). All it says is slide to power off at the top with a toggle and at the bottom there's an x (cancel button). Most the time I just hit the cancel button and hope my phones not in the mood to keep asking me to turn it off every minute. When this is happening with my phone I can't use the power button to turn it off, but I can use the screen that shows up randomly to turn off the phone. Then once the phone is off the power button always works and lets me turn the phone back on, but once the phones back on it's completely random if the power button starts working again.

I've tried searching answers for this and I haven't been able to find anything on it. Anyone know what I should do?

I run a professional phone repair business and have done several iphone 6 with no major issues so far.

Today I worked on an iPhone 6 repair. The repair was going good, had put the new screen on and everything was fine. Just then I realised the home button was not clicking properly, for there were some small glass chips around it; so I decided to remove it again and clean it. I did so without removing the screen ( turned the phone upside down to work on the button). I removed the button flex, cleaned it and put it back in. When I when to test it the screen didn't come on, the power button didn't help either.

I then tried the usual tricks (hold power + home button for 10s, unplug the battery and so). I have removed the screen and put it back, checked all the connectors, have tried with the original screen again and nothing has worked so far. Phone looks as it's dead. I have left it charging (no charging icon) with no luck. I run out of ideas, any suggestions from you wise people?

thanks in advance,

M

I'm experiencing huge cellular reception issues after upgrading from iPhone 5 to iPhone 6. All from drop outs in calls, other end cannot hear me, and general very poor reception on places where I had good reception with my iPhone 5 and the same carrier/sim card.

I have tried all the software things:

• New sim card
• Lock it to 3G
• Reset network settings

So I may think that there is some problems with the hardware antennas. Does anyone know where the actual cellular antenna(s) is located on the iPhone 6? Is it the one down with the lightning port or is it one on the top? Or maybe both are used as cellular antennas?

Thanks for the help!

What parts of the phone do I need to replace to get the display working again?

⟐ Commented abril 26, 2022 at 3:01 GMT-7

I have a iphone 6 with broken home button flex ripped and broken screen. I tried sending it in to apple, but they refused the repair (even payed repair) unless i paid more then i would pay for a new phone.

I read on some forum that doing a restore on a iphone 6 / 6+ on which the original home button / flex is damaged, the recovery will get stuck at 50% and give error 53 in itunes and remain stuck in recovery mode forever.

Currently the iphone contains data of the previous owner, but i am affraid to do a restore, since i probably will get a bricked device...

Anyone has experiece on a iphone 6 with replaced home button? Does the restore still works?

I have replaced the loudspeaker on an IPhone 5s...

The phone worked well before, the only problem was no sound.

Now it wont boot into IOS.. When i press the on/off button, it shows apple logo for 1 sec, and then screen goes black. But i can see that there are light in the screen (on the side when its not assempled),

If i try to start it by holding the on/off button, it shows the logo for 5-6 seconds and then goes black.

I have tried to go to recovery mode (or what it is called), but it wont let me.

Now i have replaced the bottom cable, with jack, charger and microphone on... Still nothing happens..

I have tried to connect a broken screen, but also with the same result.

The only thing i now believe it could be, is the battery. The first time i changed the part, i took the battery out. And when i was trying to boot the Iphone, i said that there was no power on, but the phone was fulle charged before i started.

Could it be a damaged battery??

Or is there someone that have an idea of what else could be wrong???

I use this app fairly regularly and haven't had problems charging and using the app at the same time until now. Is the GPS app somehow using more power or is my battery faulty?

At first it started up but the screen wouldn't come on = it synched with iTunes and vibrate on/off worked, but replacing the screen didn't work. There's no visible liquid damage but I suspect it might have been a victim of a static discharge working environment.

I've had the backlight coil replaced(the likely suspect) on the logic board but now it's stuck in DFU-mode and won't go any further than "Waiting for iPhone" in iTunes and an Apple logo on the screen with an empty progress bar below. Now I'm thinking the backlight coil might not have been faulty after all.

What are the likely suspects in this case? I'm tried to restore with several dock connectors/flex cables and USB cables but nothing seems to work.

Could it be the flash memory? Any good ideas for a fix that doesn't require completely replacing the flash chip?
