iPhone 6s: Can you fix iCloud lock?

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 17:49:46 -0700

There are a lot of locked iPhones and stuff out there for cheap and is there a real way to unlock iCloud? If there is please put in links I dont want to get scammed.

Because if you buy an iCloud locked but everything is okay with it lets say I bought it for $100 and I iCloud unlock it and that costs $30 you only pay $130 for a perfectly good iPhone instead of $900, thanks!

iPhone 5c: How do you fix a screen with dark, flickering horizontal lines across

Sat, 25 Aug 2018 08:18:02 -0700

So a few months ago I dropped my iPhone 5c and the top right corner had a very small crack and at first didnt seem to affect the screens light but eventually it started to have horizontal lines across the screen and the screen is very dark (I can still see what I was clicking on but it was difficult) and then after a few days the screen became unresponsive(all black) but it the phone would still make noises and vibrate, so my phone wasn't completely broken. About a week ago I started doing research and I read that if you take the cover off and press on the plate covering the cord that leads to the screen you might make it responsive again. This worked kind of because now the screen isn't totally unresponsive, it's just very dark and has horizontal lines running across it. Do I need a screen replacement? Do I need to actually unscrew the plate and look at the cords? Thank you!

iPhone 5: iPhone 5 Not Charging, After Replacing Battery & Charging Port?

Wed, 06 Dec 2017 18:02:53 -0700

I've been in the Apple repair business for almost 3 years now and I'd have to say I'm stumped on this one, can anyone help me out please?

I have an iPhone 5 that would not charge, after replacing the battery with a new one along with the charging port, I still can not get the iPhone to charge let alone display any sort of charging symbol or anything. I went very carefully when replacing the charging port and had no issues. Can anyone give me an idea as to what to check or even replace that can fix this issue?

Thanks

Sun, 21 Jul 2024 20:29:47 -0700

I've been searching everywhere to find something that could help me with my last 5 screws. I'm having to be extra cautious because if I get them wrong I will ruin the phone entirely. It's the bracket over the sensor connections. Can anyone please help or at least point me in a helpful direction to possibly find it?

iPhone X: There’s a black “ink”spot in the bottom right corner of my screen?

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 07:30:18 -0700

My screen has no cracks on it, I’ve dropped it twice.

The first time it landed backside down and I noticed that a small black spot that sort of resembles ink appeared. I dropped it again today, it landed the same way, and the spot got bigger.

I can still control my screen directly on where the black spot is im just not sure what it is or how it could be repaired

After replacing the screen on an att iPhone 6 I have no display and when it's plugged in it keeps making the "just plugged in" tone every 10 seconds or so. I put the original screen back on and still the same. I tried resetting but never saw the apple logo.

iPhone 5s: Restore error 14 or 1671 after inverting screws

Wed, 30 Sep 2015 09:57:32 -0700

Hi guys,

I replaced my screen once, and I think I may have damaged it while replacing, by forcing it too much. Anyway it doesn't mind.

I thought it could be the screws position placed wrong here:

http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/wp-cont...

Then, I opened the phone again and inverted the screws position, putting the bigger on the smaller place, now the phone was damaged I think.

Tried to turn it on, had that blue screen and then the boot loop.

I put the screws back to the original place, however the screen was gone (tested the old screen and it was working) and the phone is on DFU mode: I cannot get off it

When I try to restore i have error 14 on my pc. One of my mates got error 1671 as well.

I tried to restore it by many ways, but none successful. One thing that I didn't try yet was to restore on a Mac, but I don't think I will able to revive the phone by doing this.

The question is: is my phone damaged and gone (as the logic board is too expensive) or is there any chance to get it back?

Thu, 09 Feb 2023 13:43:24 -0700

I went ahead and bought the precision screw extractors to remove the two pentalobe screws from the bottom of my phone. They've stripped pretty badly.

The problem is, I have no idea how to use them. I can't find anything related to this kind of extractor on the web. I think you are meant to hit a hammer on the top of it, but it doesnt seem to do anything.

I repair a lot of iPhones , ipads, but sometimes when i have to change a battery there's a sort of smell like polish remover coming from the battery .

The odour is not very annoying but when i sniff/breathe this odour, I feel a few headaches during 1 hour or less.

This odour can also be breathed sometimes on new batteries (Which are defective) or used batteries and sometimes also when taking off the batteries when it is broken

What this smell is composed of ?

iPhone 4: Invalid Sim (Sim is from carrier that not supported)

Thu, 05 Apr 2018 14:10:31 -0700

Hi everyone,

I just bought a second hand iphone 4. The previous ownner informed me that he had bought the iphone from an Apple store from UK and for two years he used it in Cyprus with a local network carrier (he told me the iphone isn't locked). After he bought a new phone he shut down the iphone for one and a half year since today that i bought it.

After inserting my sim card I get a message saying " The SIM card is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server" and therfore I cannot activate the phone. The crazy is that I am using the same carrier as the last owner...

Any advise?

I have also try to activate it through itunes (I am getting the same message), I did also a hard reset but nothing.

iPhone 4: iPhone only working when plugged into charger. whats wrong with it?

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 05:23:17 -0700

my iPhone 4 is acting weird. Ive had it for about a year and a half and lately if i would drop it (less than 1 foot) or even set it down ge it would shut off and not turn on. i would smack it and tried to turn it on and it worked. the other day i dropped it and the whole screen cracked:( the screen can be fixed easily but what i don't understand is that my iPhone will only turn on when it is plugged into my charger. if i take it out it instantly turns off. any idea?

also, The battery percentage does not increase while plugged into the charger
