iPhone X: iPhone X died after dropping, checking on how to save the datas

Mon, 09 Jul 2018 11:26:31 -0700

Hi, was wondering if anyone could help me. So my iphone X dropped and broke the whole lcd probably because it won't turn on anymore and if I charge it gets really hot. If I attached the charging cable to my laptop it doesn't read/recognize and again it gets hot on the upper part. I haven't sent them to fix yet as I was worried about my data. I wanted to save them first before I hand them to apple. But the thing is I didn't do any backup and no icloud nor no itunes activated. Any means how am I able to save my data? The third party really is a rip off so I was hoping there are other means where I can do it myself? Thank you.

iPhone X: How come the replacement screen I bought doesnt match my phone?

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 09:52:54 -0700

I have an iphone x and was trying to replace my screen. On the left is the screen i received - it seems to have support brackets all the way around and does not fit my phone. However, my original screen does not have these brackets and is flat all the way around. Does anyone know what my problem is + why my iphone x seems to be different than the normal one?

if this is the correct screen…how are these tabs supposed to fit into what looks to be a flat bracket covering?

also comparing other iphones online, mine looks to be a bit different with this top area as well? anyone know whats going on here?

iPhone X: iPhone X Display Not Responding to Touch After Screen and Battery Repl

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 12:56:46 -0700

About half a year ago, I replaced the screen and battery of my iPhone X after the original screen was damaged. Both the screen and battery I used are not original Apple parts. From the very first day after the replacement, the display touch has been intermittently unresponsive. I tried all possible software fixes, including a force reset, which sometimes temporarily resolved the issue. However, the problem has now worsened, and the display touch is completely unresponsive.

I've opened the phone several times, unplugging and cleaning the display and battery connectors before reconnecting them. Each time, the touch functionality returns but only for a few hours before it stops working again. The last time, I only unplugged and reconnected the battery cable, and the touch started working again, but the issue returned after a few hours. I also ran diagnostics using 3uTools and received the error "Problem connecting CPU and peripherals Panic CPU x caller."

Could this be a hardware issue with the replacement parts, or is there something else I should investigate? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone X: How to reset Maximum Capacity with New Battery

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 10:11:25 -0700

Update:
I've now chosen to recommend my customers to replace the entire battery and just deal with the non genuine battery warning. That way we are not reusing used battery parts and everything feels much more professional.

Original Post:
Hey there,

I replaced a battery on a customer's iPhone X with a ampsentrix battery. Also used my icopy2 programmer to program the new battery.

I got him to try performing a full drain and charge to calibrate it with no luck. He even did it twice.

How can the "maximum capacity" be reset?

Thanks

Kevin

After replacing a broken iPhone X screen I try to enter the passcode on the phone and after pressing the final digit the phone freezes and doesn’t proceed, cannot be locked and can only be hard reset. Can still receive and take phone calls but can’t get past the lock screen. Problem persists after old screen reinstalled. Any ideas?

iPhone X: Powered up after opening case!

Thu, 20 Jun 2024 17:15:00 -0700

Hi,

I removed my SIM card and powered down my iPhone X prior to opening the case to do a screen change, almost immediately the phone lit up? try as I might holding one side of the case with one hand while trying to power off with my other hand it just wasn’t possible, so I immediately removed the battery connector. Before I go ahead with the screen change I was hoping that you can reassure me that nothing would have happened to the software or other parts, the phone was only with power for approximately 45 seconds.

Thanks

iPhone X: Face iD Not working due to proximity sensor failure.

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 17:19:51 -0700

I have a iPhone X on which I performed a screen repair, Iam a regular worker and know my stuff. I performed all the steps which are necessary to retain the face id and I succeeded too but only temporarily. After a month or two my face id stopped working, my phone's proximity sensor doesn't works due to which true tone has also vanished. Portrait mode does not works either. Can anyone help me out on how to restore proximity sensor? I know for sure if i get it up and running again then face id will work like a charm. Any suggestions, ideas, help will be appreciated.Thanks

iPhone X: New LCD screen showing Burn-in from Old OLED display

I just replaced the Burnt-in OLED screen on this iPhone X with a brand new LCD display. All seemed fine until today, I pick the phone up and it's showing the same Burn-in pattern from before. Did I receive a used display under the guise of new or is something deeper the issue? This LCD was obtained from iFixit

I screwed up today.

customer came in with a broken display and I replaced it with a new one. I accidentally overwrote his original display information with the replacement display. I have no true tone now. Is there a fix for this? I have JC PRO1000S for writing display data.

This is the report from JC repair. The data should exist on the device right?? It says QUERY LCM# failed

Well... I went through with replacing my charge port battery and screen and now everything works except for Apple Pay/NFC payments/reader.

iPhone X: Why cellular data is not working after water damage.

Wed, 31 May 2023 14:47:42 -0700

I jumped on the pool with the phone with me. Because a week ago I had to repair the screen myself, the water protection was not there anymore. After using it for 1 hour the screen turned off with an increasing purple filter. I was able to turn the device. After it, I opened it and saw the damage done by the water. There was plenty of water. I disconnected the battery (and remove it) and put the phone on alcohol isopropanol.

After few days drying out with silica gel (for the water). I replaced the screen and it worked since I put the sim card.

It seems out the cellular data is being connected and disconnected all the time. Every 10 sec the data is disconnected and after 10 sec the data is connected. When I call someone everything seems fine. No discconection at all.
