iPhone 7 Plus: Yellowish tint on LCD

Thu, 05 Mar 2020 05:48:36 -0700

Most of these iPhones have a yellowish tint to them. I made sure night sight is turned off. Is this caused by the optically clear adhesive (OCA) or just Apple QC.

iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone 7 Home button stops when front camera flex connected

Tue, 03 Mar 2020 10:13:40 -0700

Hi,

Strange question for you all. Purchased a phone that had a cracked screen and home button doesn’t work. Replaced the screen and all went well, however looking into this home button problem.. The home button doesn’t seem to work when the front camera flex is connected, and works fine when the front camera flex is disconnected.

Can’t see any torn cables or anything so i’m a little unsure as to what to try next! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 7 Plus: Why do I get no service on my phone?

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 16:34:41 -0700

This started a few days ago, where my phone said no service out of nowhere. Im the only one on my plan that this happened to. i didnt do anything to it at all. I tried everything i can find online to fix it but nothing. I went to my carrier store and they said it was the sim card reader because they tried my sim in another device and it worked. Then while i was there someone came in with the same exact problem and they also had an iphone 7.

iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone 7 Plus Power button not working

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 08:13:56 -0700

Hey guys!

My iPhone 7 Plus power button is not working. The button is responding, meaning it clicks when I press it and never was stuck. I used AssistiveTouch for the past couple of weeks and I would like to fix it now.

I restarted the device a couple of times and did a complete shutdown but no results.

What should I do at this point? Do a factory restore and DFu restore?

iPhone 7 Plus: I changed charging port, now the loudspeaker nor the port works.

Sun, 01 Mar 2020 07:55:09 -0700

As said in the title, I’d like to say that I was pretty cautious throughout the whole repair, and there is no visible damage on the part itself. Is it possible that it’s a faulty part or could it possibly have been my own mistake?

I know there’s a similar question which suggests that the cable could be the one at fault and how things like these are ‘common’.

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?

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.
