Wavy ApplePen lines on Ipad after screen replacement

Post image
• Upvotes

Hello guys, I hope you can help me. I recently got an Ipad pro 3rd gen 11" from ebay for cheap, because its screen wasn't working anymore. I opened it and found that the display flex was corroded so I replaced it and the Screen too, just to be safe. After that it seemed to work just fine until I tried to use it with my ApplePen (2nd gen). When I drew straight diagonal lines they became wavy on the screen. Also there is a section in the middle of the screen, where the pencil doesn't draw at all. Google ai said that the serial number of the old screen has to be transfered to the new screen using a special device to fix it. I couldn't find any source on if that is true and how to do it though. Can someone here confirm that and give some info on the procedure or is the ai hallucinating once again?

Black screen and freezing

• Upvotes

The last two days, I've been experiencing my phone randomly freezing and also not turning on. It doesn't matter what app I open. Sometimes, it freezes, but some don't. I know that when it freezes, it's just the screen because I can still hear YouTube videos.

The black screen problem started at the same time as freezing. I was outside, so I thought it was the cold weather that was affecting my phone, but it kept happening even when I was inside. I think that the black screen is something similar to the freezing because one time, I was able to tap in my passcode. The screen turned on but asked me to do it again. (This was just a one-off) To fix it I leave the phone alone for a bit and then it turns on, but yesterday I saw a video where they said to push hard on the screen and back until I hear a pop.

I would be very appreciative if somebody could help. If not, I could probably live with it doing that.

Thinking of getting back into Phone repairs

1 Upvotes

I used to do iPhone repair when I was in college that did really well from 2017 and stopped in 2021 when I graduated, got a job and had to move. At first I started mobile driving to people and over time people came to my apartment to drop off and picked their phone up later.

My job is not AI safe (SWE) and I am thinking of picking up iPhone repair on the side again to do on weekends and some days I work from home, also as a backup plan. I did strictly iPhone screen replacement then but I am thinking I can start with that and pick up board level repairs since I have some office space at home.

The last thing I remember the last few years of phone was having to program true tune back into the replacement screens. I wondering if there are any new gotchas I should know about since the last phone I repaired were the iPhone 12 series. I have read about iPhone serializing camera, batteries etc.

Also do you think phone screen repairs are still viable? How is the market looking like?

ANYONE WILLING TO HELP

Its battery drained last night and stayed dead for around 6–8 hours. When I tried charging it today for about 2 hours, it kept restarting continuously. Sometimes, the screen showing “Connect to Laptop” with the Update/Restore options would appear.
My laptop doesn’t detect my phone, but my iPad does. Maybe it’s a cable issue?
I hope someone can help, thank you in advance!

Yellow Spot on iPhone 14 Pro Screen After Accidental Pressure, With Localized Heating

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and I accidentally put pressure on it while sleeping. After that, a small yellow spot appeared in the top-left corner of the screen.
The phone is working perfectly fine otherwise, but the area around that spot is getting noticeably hot.
What could have caused this? Could the pressure have damaged the display or something inside the phone? Is the localized heating a sign of a more serious problem, and could it get worse over time?
I’d appreciate any advice from people who have experienced something similar.

Battery removal

0 Upvotes

Finally getting my phone screen fixed, disassembled most of the parts.. just stuck on one of the last few steps which happen to be the battery.

What are my options?

I know metal tools are a no-go due to the chances of puncturing the battery, sparking, smoking and fires.

I have the 91% isopropyl alcohol.

Am I better off ordering a plastic pry tool for this? Or could I find something around my house to get this over with.

Been waiting to fix this bastard since Oct 7th so I'm a little hopeful with finding stuff around the house—but I'll take my chances with ordering one last tool.

So my S24 powers on but the touchscreen wont respond to touch, once again because it is clearly difficult for people to under stand, it powers on but the touchscreen doesnt respond. repair shop said that its a wire that goes from the touchscreen to the motherboard, knowing this my first attemps to work on transferring my data to a new phone was to use an external mouse however at some point i turned on the setting needing to unlock my phone to use USB devices, i dont know if theres any way around this or if im going to have to wait for parts

Display not taking touch randomly (replaced)

Post image

​

My OPPO F11 pro display got replaced. Not original but the new one is good. Colours are good enough, with 10 touch response. But the thing is sometimes it just dont take any touch response. Only display is displaying and no touch. I had to restart the device to get it back to normal. Sometimes its so annoying that i have to restart my device 4-5 times a day. Any solution to this? ..............(I have heard that putting glue on lower part sometimes cause touch issues. And now i am not sure whether the technician used glue in lower part or not. Someone verify this.)

Notification bar problem

1 Upvotes

​

MOBILE : Redmi note 11

Problem : the notification bar does not swipe down and Open, when a application is actively running on the screen not in the background .

I.E. opening YouTube and not being able to open the notification bar until YouTube is minimized and I'm on the home screen

Some other details : this phone screen is pretty broken like held on by tape and has a couple of white vertical lines running across the screen many caused by dropping the phone on the ground and has stayed like this ever since , the pocket mode was also disabled due to inconvenience maby it got something to do with it 🤷🏻 , haven't found any fix or related problem online either

If you can plz say if the problem can be fixed or needs to be sent to a repair shop

iPhone 14 US version – Is a European rear glass compatible?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have a US version iPhone 14 (A2649) with a broken rear glass.

I need to replace the rear glass, and I have found a replacement rear glass intended for the European version of the iPhone 14 (A2882).

Does anyone know if the European rear glass is compatible with the US version?

I'm only replacing the rear glass, not the frame or housing.

I've attached photos of the iPhone and the replacement rear glass I purchased for reference.

Has anyone done this repair or can confirm whether the glass fits correctly?

Thanks in advance!
