iPhone 5s: How to fix my iPhone 5s screen glitches?

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 02:31:40 -0700

Hello, recently I just dropped my iPhone 5s on the ground and the screen has developed these glitches. The touch screen and the touch id works just fine. There are no dead spots. Around two months ago I shattered the screen and I took it to a phone store that fixed it for me. So the screen isn't original, therefore they could have possibly not reassembled it correctly. Just wondering if anybody knows what could possible be the problem? So that if i purchase the tools to open up the phone myself that I could know what to look for and fix. Thank you!

iPhone 5: iPhone5 - Black screen after swap, constant "bong" noise.

Mon, 08 May 2017 06:33:55 -0700

I had a damaged white iPhone5 Screen, smashed digitizer and all.

Swapped in a black screen kit ordered off of iFixIt, actually had the screen light on the first try but with odd repetitive blocks along the top. Also the front camera was not sitting right, so I pulled it off, put it back together, and now there's no screen.

Power and Mute buttons seem to be unresponsive, it only boots up when connected to the charge cable.

It does seem to reboot with the Home+Power button.

Odd thing is, when it does boot it makes a repetitive "bong" noise every two seconds, if connected to the charge cable while muted it gives a double vibe every two seconds.

I tried power cycling the battery a couple times, and that did nothing. I can't swap the old screen back in the digitizer disintegrated as I pulled it off. Any help will be appreciated!

It will fill with water but won't spin or drain on its own. I can drain it if I put the hose on the ground, but not if it's in its usual spot.

I have this iPhone 5c to repair, but before I start, I want to turn it off. When I hold down the power button, I get the slider—but the screen is so badly damaged that I can't slide it. Is there any way to force shut down an iPhone? Thanks in advance!

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1: Why does my tablet respond to S-Pen but not my fingers?

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 00:02:48 -0700

I just finished repairing one problem I had, where the screen gets all discolored. Once I closed it up and started it, it would not respond to my touch, nothing. I tried the S-Pen and it worked fine. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I reopened it and check the ribbon connections, the only one that looks questionable was the central ribbon cable. Now, I don't know much about electronics, but I noticed that on all the other connectors for the ribbon cables, there was a locking switch. I don't think the connection this ribbon cable has one, and I fear that out of ignorance I may have damaged the connector attempting to flip the non-existent locking mechanism. I believe this to be the cable that connects to the front screen (Not the LCD), and is what is used to communicate the touch input. So I think this is where my problem lies. Can someone enlighten me with their perspective on this issue? I think it must be a damaged connector (requiring me to get a replacement motherboard), the ribbon cable isn't fully connected (tried my best), or something else I am not seeing. Hopefully it is fixable, I would hate to have to scrap a tablet just after 5 months of use. Could it possibly be a broken or damaged digitizer? I have dropped it a few times.

DualShock 3: Why does my controller randomly presses buttons?

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 01:10:53 -0700

Whenever I play a game the controller justs starts choosing options that match the buttons out of nowhere without them being pressed. For Example I'll play call of duty and all of the sudden I'll start switching weapons or shooting without me pressing the button.

Samsung galaxy core prime: How do I fix Horizontal lines on my screen?

Sat, 02 Dec 2023 14:17:58 -0700

My phone is showing thin black horizontal lines on the screen, so it looks a bit like the screen of 1980s television. It covers the entire phone, and it happened a few days after the screen protector on the top right corner of the phone cracked. Otherwise, the phone still looks fine. It wasn't that bad at first, the screen just looked like the display was only showing every other line, but when i accidentally put pressure on the top right corner of the phone (where the screen protector cracked), it got worse and started looking like how I explained it above.
