I’ve tried putting the phone into DFU mode by pressing the volume up bottom, then the volume down button then the power button it then goes to the restore screen where it asks to plug it into itunes. Itunes doesn’t detect the phone at all, was expecting it to prompt me to restore and update like it normal does.

Have been thinking about replacing the battery to see if that’s the issue as it doesn’t seem to be taking charge at all

Any help would be massively appreciated

Hi everyone, the situation has now advanced in a good way! I disconnected the battery, disconnected the screen and then connected the battery back up. Pressed up, then down then held the sleep key and to be shock it detected the phone!

From here I restored the phone and updated to IOS 13. I’ve now got to the welcome stage of the phone on iTunes however when I connect the screen back up it goes back into a boot loop!

The screen appears to be the issue here I recon. Should I just get a new screen? I’ve checked the connections on the motherboard and they seem okay no visible damage or dust in there. Not too sure what to do

So I dropped my iPhone X in the sink. No big deal, I’ve done it a few times before and nothing has come of it. It’s IP67 rating, so it should’ve been fine. I understand now that the gasket wears out over time, but hindsight is 20/20.

A little while after I dried my iPhone off (it was still working perfectly), I put it in my pocket and forgot about it for a few hours. I take it out of my pocket to find that it was bootlooping.

I’ve looked all over online to see what the cause of this was, and I decided to open up my iPhone. The insides looked fine. There was a little condensation on the rear camera glass, but nothing major. I decide to try to boot the phone without the earpiece assembly plugged in, and it worked!

Great, I thought. I’ll just replace the assembly and all should be well. Then I look up how much it is, and see a note at the bottom of the page.

“The Earpiece Speaker and Sensor Assembly is paired to the logic board in an iPhone X. This assembly contains the flood illuminator, which is part of the Face ID security feature. Replacing this assembly will not restore Face ID functions. “

Now I feel like garbage. This is my personal phone, I’ve only had it for about a year, and my dreams of just replacing a part to get it like new again is gone.

Now for the questions. I understand that the earpiece assembly is paired to the logic board. Is there any way whatsoever to spoof the pairing of the two?

I didn’t find any visible damage on the assembly itself, not even the ribbon cable. But the connector on the logic board looks like it has a few dark spots on the top right few pins. Is there any way of cleaning the logic board up and possibly getting it to work?

Should I just cut my losses, lose face id, and just replace the assembly?

Should I just take the assembly out and lose the ability to use the speaker and have the iPhone adjust brightness levels automatically? Also along with face id?

In other words, I’m just looking for suggestions on what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have repaired an iPhone 11 and 11 Pro with FaceID issue. I will go through the process step by step. First I attached the original FaceID flex to the i2C programmer and read its values. After that I connected the new i2C and wrote the original flex values. Then I desoldered the chip from the flex, removed the mosfet and did the neccessary jumper. After that I soldered the chip to the new flex and attached it to the i2C programmer. The test showed pass, I also checked under camera and all 4 spots of the projector light up correctly. Being happy that I did a good job I assembled back everything and started the phone. Now I am greeted with a “FaceID can not be activated on this device” message. I was thinking maybe my flex is bad so I took a new i2C, copy and write the data, desolder the chip and resolder. Assembled back everything and the error still pops up. I thought okay lets solder the chip back to the original flex. Now the error is gone but ofcourse FaceID doesnt work. I have the same issue with an iPhone 11 and an iPhone 11 Pro. What do you think, what could be the issue? I did around 25 repairs before without any issues.

1. Bluetooth reception stopped working -- intermittently returns and will stay if the phone is not moved or jostled.
2. Battery needed replacement. Wi-Fi chip was bad per diagnostics at Apple store at the time the battery was replaced.

# Wi-fi connectivity lost. Wifi grayed out. Returned once, just long enough for me to update iOS to 16.02.

1. Screen intermittently unresponsive to touch. A reset will get in working again.
2. Earpiece speaker became static-y and dim AND bottom speaker stopped working at the same time. Wired earbuds still work.

No known water exposures. Any likely culprits or common causes?
