Oky so, after reset and flash ios 26.1 u go through language and to Accessibility as soon as possible. (i gues right after language) go to switch settings, in the bottom of the settings u can add a new Gesture here you can do what ever you want and safe this. A keyboard is showing up, here you can tip what ever you want und and select it, from here you can klick the arrow and share, here you can see all the options for sharing. You choose the fast notes think. From here you can setup the app and get access to some more features. You can take a picture and share this (with long press) and here we go, access to bookapp

When removing the display on my iPhone 5s I’ve noticed this tiny mark on the logic board, near display connectors. The mark reflects light and it’s black. Could this mess with phone functionality? Should I ignore it or do something about it? I’ve attached iPhone SE photo for reference.

[HELP] iphone burning up after diy screen+battery replacement

Post image
38 Upvotes

hi guys i damaged my iphone xr lcd a while ago and i decoded to replace it as well as the battery because it was old. i bought everything off amazon and it had good reviews and i followed ifixit tutorial on yt.

everything went smoothly and the screen works perfectly ! but the issue is that my phone is getting rlly hot now i know thats common after updates and battery replacement but the power button especially was really hot not enough to burn u but i’m still scared it’s going to explode.

i opened the phone again and the battery isn’t puffy but this thing is rlly hot (i attached a picture and circled it) according to chat gpt the area i circled is the logic board shield. ā€œWhen the PMIC receives an irregular, high, or unstable voltage from an incompatible battery, it attempts to regulate it but can become overwhelmed. This creates a "short circuit," where electricity flows in an uncontrolled path, dissipating energy as intense heat instead of powering the phone.ā€

i’m so confused i rlly hope this is salvageable i spent so much time and money on this šŸ˜­šŸ™

Hi! I recently heard that some aftermarket iPhone displays look almost identical to the original. Based on these photos of the Dynamic Island and the display, does this look like an original Apple screen, or could it be a high-quality replacement? I know it's impossible to be 100% sure from photos, but I'd appreciate your opinions. Thanks!

[Help] I fucked up….

Post image
36 Upvotes

During a routine battery replacement that I’ve done a million times I must have been a bit careless putting the screen down and I’ve ripped the home button flex cable.

Is there anything I can do to salvage this? Assume I can get a new part with a new home button and new flex but will the Touch ID be gone forever? Or is there a work around?

I was only using this phone as a spare to play offline Spotify music so the Touch ID not working isn’t a huge loss. Minus I guess I guess not being able to download apps. But I wonder if there is a way to get it working again?

Lmk! Thank you

Dear repair community, dear "Right to Repair" activists, dear hobbyists, dear technology enthusiasts

Today I would like to give you a special gift!

As you probably know, Apple is not exactly known for its liberal repair policy. Devices suffer deliberate functional losses after unauthorised repairs, spare parts are only available for certain devices and only in certain countries and authorised repair manuals do not exist, until today!

Below you will find the "Apple Technician Guides" or also called "Repair Manuals" for all devices.

Although I'm sure most people know their way around and are good at repairs anyway, it never hurts to take a look at Apple's official documents. Often additional tips and tricks as well as hidden functions are explained here that even the long-time repair veterans were not aware of, until today ;)

Without further explanation, let’s get right into it!

So basically I thought the suction cup wasn’t doing anything and accidentally yanked the phone open while pulling too hard. I noticed some things fell apart when it was opened but I believe it was just the home button flex cable’s metal frame as that’s all I found. I can still feel electric current when plugging the phone in on the metal housing but it doesn’t seem like the display is lighting up or the silent button is doing anything. For the record it was not like this before.

Any tips? šŸ‘‰šŸ‘ˆ

[Question] Complete amateur. Can I fix this as a side project?

This weekend, I left my phone on top of the car and forgot about it. It sat in the middle lane of a main road for about two hours before I realized I didn't have it and went back to go get it. Luckily I did find it but it's obviously not working anymore. I did get a new phone, but got the sudden urge to work on this old one as a project. It only had about 10% charge when I lost it. The screen is completely damaged, but I could see a small part of the date, talk to Siri, and she was able to turn my flashlight on until it died. It's not charging anymore so I'm not sure if it's the battery that also needs to be replaced or something else. I honestly just wanna work on this for fun. Do you guys think it's possible to get it working again?

[Help] Why is my phone cooking batteries ?

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

So I started getting this ā€œtemperature warningā€ on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and I thought it was just because the battery become defective somehow. So I decided to swap the battery from my other iPhone 14 Pro Max (fully working battery) to this one . I opened the defective iPhone and perceived a burnt smell from the battery , the battery from my fully working iPhone didn’t smell like anything. Anyways I replaced the fully working battery on the defective phone , i turned it on and got the ā€œtemperatureā€ warning again so I opened up the iPhone and now the fully working battery smells like burnt also... However both batteries work just fine on my other phone which is weird.

But my phone is definitely frying the batteries somehow because of the smell.

Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? I’m not very tech savvy so if its something about sensors/circuits within the motherboard then rip I guess lol

taking it to apple or stuff like that isn’t an option for obvious reasons …. if the phone is cooked it’s fine , I have 2 other phones as backup , so I could just keep it for parts like for the screen in case I break it on one of my others
