iPhone 7: iPhone 7 problem with aftermarket screen

Sat, 06 Jun 2020 10:39:01 -0700

I've got a friend with an Iphone 7, he broke his original screen so i replaced it for a new one, Every screw organized on the place it belongs to. After a good and very fast repair the new screen works just perfectly fine.

But now it fell out and restarted, after the restart the touchscreen was unfunctional.

we didn't knew what to do next, so my first reaction was just giving it an hard reset.

It worked again! but now is my question, we went to the apple store and they said the device when it recognizes it's not an original screen it could take out the screen, so that it's unfunctional again, but i think that's searched too far, because there are so many places now where you can buy replacement screens, and when this is true there should be no aftermarket parts available right?

Do i have to worry now for the screen to die or is it just not that big of a deal?

the whole repair did go perfectly fine, no havily bended parts/cables/connectors, no screws mixed, no damage to any parts. And followed the instructions of the Ifixit quide.

When I took off the home button, a small black about 1/8 inch square rubber piece fell out. While gently peeling off the heated cable.

iPhone 7: iPhone 7 Bluetooth not working

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 22:22:02 -0700

Ive been given an iPhone 7 to replace my old SE. Everything works as it should except for the bluetooth. When you go into settings, instead of the Bluetooth On/Off switch there’s just a spinning disc.

I’ve been through all the troubleshooters to the point of restoring it back to factory defaults with the latest IOS, but it still doesn’t work.

However I have noticed that when I put the serial number into Apples website, it should be a different color than it is (Apple say it is rose gold, but it’s actually silver) so I guess at some point it has been re-cased.

Everything else on the phone works fine including the 4G and wireless. Can anyone suggest what might be the issue with it?

Thanks.

iPhone 7: Home Button not working after screen replacement.

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 12:03:51 -0700

Hi all,

first post here!

I’m having some trouble with a screen replacement I did.

I bought a used genuine iPhone 7 screen from eBay, replaced the screen and my home button won’t respond whatsoever, it doesn’t bring up the assistive touch until I activated it through settings, and TouchID fails.

So, I did the obvious and put my old screen back on, and I could click the home button and it worked fine. ( I would keep the screen if it wasn’t glitching and the LCD wasn’t smashed *sigh*)

I contacted the seller, he said to restore the phone, but it didn’t work either.

Any advice?

iPhone 7: Can I replace my iPhone 7 Home Button on my own or only by Apple?

Mon, 10 May 2021 19:51:03 -0700

I recently replaced the screen on my iPhone 7, and I also have to replace the charging port. But after replacing the screen I noticed that the home button stopped working (Touch ID doesn’t work either).

I’ve read online that this could either be a fault of the screen itself (because it connects to the home button) or the home button could be busted.

But I also read that you can’t replace the home button on your own and you need a genuine Apple home button to gain full functionality back, aka Apple can only replace your home button for you. Is this still true? If this still applies, then why does iFixit sell home buttons for the iPhone 7 in their store?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

iPhone 7: Replacement screen not sitting in on bottom right

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 09:32:59 -0700

This is probably a common issue for aftermarket screens.

Is there any particular reason why it happens? I tried two screens from different suppliers and the same issue occurs.

Also the iphone housing is in excellent condition, no bends or dints on frame.

iPhone 7: Unable to activate iPhone 7

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 20:21:36 -0700

Hi, Ive been given an iphone 7 and, since trying to start a fresh with the phone, im presented with a “unable to activate” error message.

I have tried entering into recovery mode to update or restore, both unsuccessful.

I then went into the Apple store and was told it probably because ive a aftermarket screen fitted and sent on my way?

Any ideas ?

iPhone 7: What is wrong with my WiFi ic chip?

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 12:01:06 -0700

Hi, my iPhone Wifi & Bluetooth is both not working and decided it was the WiFi ic chip and was going to swap a WiFI IC chip from a locked iPhone 7 onto my iPhone 7 but before I did that I took the iPhone 7 motherboard out of the phone and tested it without the case by just plugging it back in and it worked just fine so put it back together and it stopped working again, is the WiFi ic chip the problem or is it something else that is not cooling the WiFi ic chip so that it needs air or something?

This video will explain more:

Video of WiFi & bluetooth prob

Hope someone knows what is going on and if it is the WiFi ic chip or something else?

Thank you in advance!
