iPhone 4S: Why won't my iPhone 5S flashlight turn off?

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 15:37:03 -0700

Has anyone ever had a problem with an iPhone 4S where the flash will not turn off??

I'm told the phone has never been water damaged, and this happened shortly after a screen change.

Has anyone ever solved this problem? I have never come across this before.

After replacing the screen on my customers iPhone 7 plus everything appear to be working except form the earpiece (When making phone calls I can not hear anyone). I have checked the camera flex and it is in perfect condition with n o sign of damage.

Samsung Galaxy S6: phone is on but screen is black

Thu, 29 Jul 2021 21:53:39 -0700

My dog knocked my phone out of my truck and when the phone hit the pavement it cracked the front screen. The phone is still on but the screen is black. I can hear when someone texts me but I cant make the screen come on. I have tried restarting it by hitting the power button, power +volume+ home buttons, and power+volume button and the only sign of life on the screen is the little light in the top left corner indicating I have texts, emails, etc. Am I going to have to replace the entire screen?

I'm thinking its an LCD issue after some research. Can I replace the LCD and just deal with the cracked glass or do I have to change both?

iPhone 6: Lcd wont turn on after replacement

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 01:03:50 -0700

Hi,

before to start I want to specify that i've been changing iPhone lcds, batteries and whatever broken part for 3 years, and I never seen anything like that.

A customer gave me an unopened iPhone 6 with a cracked but working lcd, so, as always, I bought a replacement and went to fix it.

I want to specify that I use gloves and plastic tools to remove any part of any device, mostly for hygiene and security reasons. Oh, i've also done all software thing (restore, hard reset, win/mac, etc.).

I tried to use 4, yes, 4 different lcds (including an original one from another working iphone 6) and it just does not turn on, but itunes detect it.

I also tried to use another battery, but nothing changes.

On the motherboard, the lcd and front camera connectors does not seems damaged.

Do you have any ideas, i'm literally going crazy! Do you think that Apple will repair it (no Apple Care) if i'll perfectly remount all pieces?

iPhone 5: NANDJ_ Find flash media and keep out ERROR FIX!

Thu, 26 Oct 2017 17:18:20 -0700

If you are ever messing around with your iPhone 5 and put it back together, you may come across the "cannot find flash media" or "FIND flash media and keep out" error —and this will not let you boot properly. It gives you the red screen of death, but it can also just give you the error code and then restart or just show the Apple logo and then restart.

I found the fix, finally. I believe I am the first to find this, and it is relatively simple to fix. This is probably my first post on the internet that can actually help a majority of people that I've seen with this error and no fix for it yet. So from what I've experienced it's due to your front camera sensor assembly connector being damaged. The connectors on these things are extremely fragile and the connector seems to bow like a banana fairly easy.

So here is a way to try to narrow down the problem. Hook up only the LCD/Digitizer connector only, and "hard reset your phone" and see if it starts back up. If it does, then you've found out that it's for sure the front camera connector.

There are 2 parts to this 3rd connector. The Proximity SENSOR and the FRONT CAMERA are soldered together like an assembly. I highly recommend purchasing the assembly (front camera and proximity sensor) and not just the front camera flex cable, as it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to install. And I mean DIFFICULT.

Nokia 6303: How do I reset the security code for a Nokia 6303?

Fri, 17 May 2019 01:30:49 -0700

Hi, I changed the security code of my Nokia 6303, but I was really tired so I forgot it.

I'm not trying to unlock the pin or simlock code, but the code you can set to unlock the keyboard. I have a USB-cable and I've connected the phone to my Mac via Bluetooth. If needed, I also have a windows computer available, but the phone hasn't been connected to it yet, neither with bluetooth nor the USB.

Please help me out! Thanks.

iPhone 6s: Dropped phone in water - everything fine except I can't hear

So I dropped my phone in the water yesterday for a brief second. When I picked it up and inspected it everything works fine except for the sound. I can't hear anything unless I have the headphones in. When I try to just put the volume up it states the headphone volume went up even when there isn't headphones connected.

iPhone 6: iPhone 6 rear camera and flash not working

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 01:59:55 -0700

Hi all!

I dropped my phone and replaced the screen. Everything was working fine after the replacement of the screen.

I tried to open the camera app and the only thing I can see is a black screen with the record button etc.

Also when I tried to switch the flashlight on, nothing happened.

The flashlight and camera are 2 different parts, but does the one not work if one is broken?

Hope someone could help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance!

The phone had slowed down so I powered it off to close some programs. When I turned it on, it hangs up on the "Huawei flower" and goes no further. I have taken out the battery a couple of times but each time it returns to the Huawei flower and stops. It's been like that for nearly two hours. Help!! I need my phone.
