iPhone 7 Plus: Back camera only works in 2X

Sun, 02 Feb 2020 08:01:08 -0700

After a short fall, the rear 1x camera ceased working - just gives a black screen. The 2x works but only sometimes. Had the camera replaced with a new one (EXPENSIVE!) and still have the exact same problem. Any suggestions as to a fix?

iPhone 7 Plus: Why are my front and back cameras and flash not working after repair?

Sat, 25 Jan 2020 07:38:23 -0700

I did a battery replacement for my iPhone 7 Plus and I plugged in the new battery and screen to make sure the battery worked, I turned it on and it worked, i forgot to turn the phone off or unplug the battery before I plugged in the front camera connector and it rebooted as soon as i plugged it in. When it came on, everything works except the cameras and LED. I opened it back up and made sure it was connected well but to no avail. Top speaker and proximity sensor both still work though.

iPhone 7 Plus: Cant Replace Battery Without Fixing Speaker!

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 05:29:32 -0700

I wanted to replace my phones battery as it was saying under the battery health section on ios that it needed service and was running at 78% of its peak performance. Costing only $75 AUD I took it to an authorized service center and they ran a mandatory diagnostic on the phone showing that my “speaker receiver” needed replacement/fixing as well.. They also said that they cannot replace the battery without fixing the speaker issue first. Ive had no problems with any of the speakers on t the phone nor has my voice clarity been affected over calls. However since the speaker is somehow connected with the screen according to them, I will need to do a screen replacement as well. (which costs $200+)

Is it possible to just get the battery replaced without fixing the other “issue”?

iPhone 7 Plus: Does this sensor on front camera flex look damaged/wrong?

Thu, 16 Jan 2020 13:31:25 -0700

Just taken this front camera flex off a very dodgy repair (missing screws/brackets/dodgy LCD with OCA leaking everywhere outside of it) and had a look at this sensor. Does it look wrong at all? I thought these were supposed to be shiny?

iPhone 7 Plus: Screen will not turn on.

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 05:35:54 -0700

I’ve been struggling with getting my iPhone 7 Plus screen to work with iFixit for months. I got a screen from them and put it in, and the device would turn on, the touchscreen would work, and I’d even get notifications. But the screen was completely black minus a small amount of backlight. Now I got another new screen from iFixit in hopes they just sent me a bad one. I put it in and now it doesn’t work whatsoever. Help???

iPhone 7 Plus: Why isn't my phone charging? Part II

Sat, 04 Jan 2020 16:47:37 -0700

Dear community,

I recently had issues with the port replacement: (Why isn't my phone charging?)

Upon re-activating my battery, the phone turns on again. I doesn’t, however, charge.

It is hovering at 1%. The display turns on when I plug in the charger.

I do have another spare port I could put in but am not sure that’s the issue

What could be the underlying issue? Tristar?

Many thanks for your help.

iPhone 7 Plus: Home button stops working 24-36 hours after screen replacement

Tue, 24 Dec 2019 08:41:59 -0700

I replaced a cracked iPhone 7 Plus screen with an iFixIt replacement. Everything worked after putting phone back together. The next day the home button stopped working. I tore the phone back apart to check for a loose cable or if anything looked wrong. Everything seemed fine and put the phone together and everything worked. Now a day and a half later the home button stopped working again. Is this any issue with the replacement screen? I don’t think its a problem with the cables because it initially works.

iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone 7Plus Haptic vibrator and Rear speaker not working

Tue, 03 Dec 2019 04:14:04 -0700

I washed my iPhone 7 plus into our faucet with soap because i thought it is a water resistant and should be survive during the cleaning, But after cleaning it, i noticed that the Screen is not functioning i cant touch it but there is a display. So i force shutdown my iPhone and put it in a rice bowl for a few minutes. But when i try to turn on my iPhone it doesn’t boot up it just keep on bootlooping so i tried to put my charger.

I noticed that there is a water inside my phone a lot of water. So i immediately opened my iPhone to remove the motherboard and to let it dry. Finally my iphone booted up!

Everything works fine microphone, earpiece speaker and everything! Except the HAPTIC VIBRATOR and REAR speaker.

I tried to replace my whole charging port including rear speaker and haptic vibrator but its the same no work at all.

i tried to put my haptic vibrator and rear speaker to a working iphone 7 plus of my friend it is working without issues.

I need your help guys! Do you think that some of the IC in the motherboard had coression or shorted so the iphone is preventing to work the speaker and vibrator? Do you think i should clean the motherboard or put it into the isopropyl alcohol for a minutes?

UPDATE! i removed the motherboard and soak it to isopropyl alcogol and cleaned it. But still no sound on the rear speaker and vibration still not working.

iPhone 7 Plus: Can you replace the ribbon cables on display

Sat, 30 Nov 2019 07:51:35 -0700

When i was trying to open my phone, I accidentally opened it on the wrong side, ripping the two ribbon cables attaching to the logic board. Would it be possible to replace only the ribbon cables because I want to keep the screen because it is OEM. Buying a replacement would have poorer screen quality so I want to replace the cables if possible.

So my Iphone 7 plus got wet in my tent and I stupidly plugged the charger in and it went black and hasn’t turned on since. It has been in rice for a day and today I tried to turn it on and it’s still black but if I hold it up to my ear I can hear a quiet buzzing sound.

iPhone 7 Plus: swap logicboard from my broken phone into a working phone to get data?

Thu, 28 Nov 2019 08:41:40 -0700

Hi,

I have an iphone 7 plus that has a shattered screen and bent body and the apple store wouldnt replace the screen for that reason. I do not have an iCloud back up and want to get my data off of that phone.

Based on a few other questions, I understood that if I just replace my logic board from the broken phone into my wife’s working iphone 7 plus I should be able to get the data from it. However, Now that I have replaced the logic board, the phone comes on, screen lights up with Apple logo for a while then for a split second on the screen I see, “iphone is disabled”, and then the screen goes dark. Nothing shows on the screen. if I turn the mute switch on/off I can hear some buzzing but pressing the home button is not doing anything. Pressing power does not do anything.

If I hold the power button and volume down button to reboot it and then Apple logo appears again…

What am I missing? is there any other components that I need to replace along with the logic board to get it working enough to back it up to iTunes and get the data out of my phone?

Short version: Replaced logicboard into a working phone now it doesn’t work, phone lights up for a split second, screen shows ‘iphone is disabled’ message, screen doesn’t seen responsive, goes dark right away. What am I missing?

iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone keeps restarting after screen replacement

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 12:56:55 -0700

A friend came to me with an iPhone 7 Plus that was jammed in a car door. The screen shattered and there was a bend in the phone too. The phone still worked entirely, I could make phone calls, take photos with the forward facing camera. I decided to replace the screen. I have replaced screens in the past but never a 7 Plus. After putting the screen on, it worked. But I found the phone would restart every 1-4 minutes. Boot up time was normal. After a while I realised while using the phone (in home screen) the phone would not restart, but when sitting unused (lock screen) it would. Because it wouldn’t restart when being used, I was able to update the phone to the latest iOS. But still had the problem. While making sure everything was tight I realised again that the phone would not restart while the screen wasn’t attached to the body directly (with still being attached with the cables, not screws and either on the home screen or lock screen) but a soon as I attached the screen to the body (at least clipped it in), it would continue its restart loop.

I have read that it had something to do with the digitiser, camera assembly, something near the earpiece of the phone. Is this possible?
