We did a screen replacement after repair was completed. We then tested everything even TouchID. Customer then took it back home to restore device through iTunes. Customer stated the restore went halfway, stopped and then popped a message on the screen stating "Non-OEM Hardware Detected". We did not replaced the TouchID home button, just the screen assembly.

Since we still had original screen, we put back the original screen then restored the device to our surprised it worked 100%. We believe 3D touch panel is married to the phone itself, just as the Touch ID button was in the iPhone 6. Device has restored fully. Touch ID is reading perfectly. Going to try to transfer the 3D touch panel to the new replacement screen and test.

This is so far first and only device that we experienced this issue and we are still not 100% if this for every iphone 6s screen replacement.

Updated

We glad to see everything actively testing this issue out and glad to hear that the issue hasnt happen to anyone else. We do apologies for the scare and also not having the proof to show our claim. If we do come across this issue again we will provide pictures and or video. If anyone else can recreate this odd issue we had please let us know. :) Thank you

I noticed that the sound volume of any recorded video in my iPhone 6s starts low and then increases/ decreases with no obvious reason.

The sound result is like switching microphones front/rear, however I am not an expert and this is just a wild guess to describe how it feels like.

When I play the video in my computer, the sound issue is still there, so it should be a microphone hardware or software issue?

I haven't exposed the phone in any humidity sources nor having dropped it.

For the record I have tried to tackle the above issue by:

- testing the iPhone's stock camera app vs. other video recording apps and the issue persists.

- restoring and set up as new

- resetting options etc

with no good results.

Is the iPhone X display compatible with the iPhone XS? On paper they look the same. They even have the same number of pins in both connectors. But there is still no confirmation of anyone who has tried it.

I hope someone has an answer for this.

These black bars fade and disappear after the phone has been on for 2-3minutes and does not reappear unless the screen is taken off again (even if power cycled). My question is, wtf is this? Why doesn't the OEM screen do the same thing? I can literally put the screen on and off and it never does this. Even my 'non-OEM' iphone 4/4s screens don't do this. I was about to toss a bunch of these I bought until I found out this problem fades shortly after it's mounted on the iphone for the first time. I know I'm not the only person with this problem!

The customer said he had originally had the screen replaced at a mall kiosk and it worked well for a couple of months but one day it would not turn on. What I actually found was the phone was turning on but the screen had failed and was not turning on. I installed a new screen and all seemed well. I gave it back to the customer in seemingly 100% working condition. A few days later he brought it back to me and said it was rebooting every few minutes.

1. I tried forcing an update - no change, still rebooted after a few minutes.
2. I tried a DFU restore - no change, still rebooted after a few minutes.
3. I googled the issue and found numerous reports about issues with the charge port causing the phone to restart every 3 minutes. I checked and confirmed the phone would reboot after 3 minutes consistently. So I ordered a new charge port flex.
4. I first tried to temporarily disconnect the original flex in the phone and temporarily connect the new bare charge port flex. Voila, the phone stayed running beyond 3 minutes.
5. I disassembled the phone, removed the original charge port flex, reinstalled the new charge port and reassembled the phone. Initially the phone seemed to be fixed. But after several hours I noticed it starting to go back to the 3 minute reboot cycle again. Grr. Maybe I damaged it during installation I thought.
6. I ordered another new part and repeated step 4 and 5 but with greater care. Again, with the new part installed the phone seemed to fixed. This time I set the screen to stay on and started a stop watch. The phone stayed on for over 3 hours so I left it overnight.
7. In the morning, the phone was BACK TO RESTARTING every 3 minutes!!!
8. For fun I disconnected the 2nd new flex that was installed in the phone and connected one of the other charge ports that I had swapped out. With only the charge port by itself connected the phone still reboots. Conclusion - the flex is getting damaged somehow just by connecting it to the phone (my theory anyway).
9. Some posts on here suggested a DFU restore fixed this issue - in my case, it does not. Tried it. No difference.

I dug into the analytics logs and using 3U Tools see that every time it reboots it logs a “Panic CPU x caller” entry.

Here is the detailed text from one of these entries. Has anyone seen this? What can I try next? I’m hesitant to install a third charge port but do have one if need be.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Larry

I used the usual suction cup method, rather than a feeler gauge (that I've been using now), with A LOT of force that might've damaged something upon opening the screen. I noticed that the LCD display has some bleeding (not sure how to explain it).

After checking all of the cables, everything looks normal, though.

Everything else about the phone works fine (LCD, digitizer, silent switch, vibrator, both cameras, volume buttons, Wi-Fi/etc.).

Any ideas?

I ended up getting an iPhone 5s (maybe I should break phones more often?). Seriously though, I'm still angry at what happened.

I adjusted the angle of the 2 home button pins a number of times, and it just wouldn't work.

I'll let the new owned deal with it. It's currently selling on eBay

I'm thinking that I will try to clean up this corrosion before trying to plug it in again, but I'm not sure what sort of tool to use. Are we talking isopropyl alcohol and a Qtip, or is there some other accepted approach?

In order to recover data stored on the NAND chip of an iPhone 6 motherboard is it enough to desolder the NAND chip and solder it onto a donor board. I am wondering if some additional chip like the CPU, might also need to be swapped. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any opinions for what to watch out for would be appreciated. We are very skilled at the physical desolder / solder process.

Thanks,

Curt

Hi

Any one experiencing Touch ID not working on iphone 6 after a screen replacement since IOS 10 was released.

I have replaced 100's of screen with no issues with the touch ID. I have now done two iphone 6 with IOS 10 on them and both have non-functioning touch ID. This look like it might be a similar issue as last year with error 53.
