iPhone SE 2020: iPhone iCloud locked (need help)

Fri, 06 Jan 2023 01:26:18 -0700

So guys I bought a iPhone SE 2020 3 days ago in good condition. I was tired after buying it and I did not remove the old owner's iCloud I was like "meh I'll do it tomorrow nothing bad can happen" but something bad did happen It got iCloud locked. I tried contacting the old owner but he didn't pickup his phone and when I went to his house I must have rang the bell a million times but he didn't open the door. The only possible solution I see is changing the motherboard. If I change the motherboard will I need to change the touch id sensor aswell? But I have that if you change the motherboard of icloud locked iphones apple will see it is as illegal motherboard swap and after finding they will blacklist the device as they will think its stolen. But in this case it's not stolen I'm the legal owner of it. Please anybody who knows about this topic please answer both of my questions.

iPhone SE: SE front camera mic not working

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 08:00:50 -0700

Hello everyone and iFixit team I'm making this post so everyone can see the mistake every supplier is doing and making techs not able to solve the front camera recording or talking to Siri after replacing the front camera proximity cable.

All the SE front camera proximity sensor everyone has been buying are 5s is not the same! The front camera will work proximity sensor will work and receiver will work but the microphone is different. Take a look at the picture 5s is on the left and SE original on the right this is why is static or mute while recording from the front camera or Siri not listening.

iFixit team tested so you can believe me.

@kyle Please notice this and change the product from the website to 5s only

iPhone 5s: Touch screen not working after battery replacement?

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 20:37:15 -0700

I just replaced the battery on my iphone 5s. I was extremely careful but this is my first iphone repair. My phone boots up just fine and I even received a text, however, my touch screen is completely inresponsive . Should I just check all cables? Could these mean I mixed up screws? I am definitely in over my head on thus one and this will probably be my last self repair.

iPhone 6: iPhone disabled - Connect to iTunes

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 23:17:26 -0700

My friend broke his screen, and as a result of that it entered the passcode wrong several times, so now is it saying: iPhone disabled - Connect to iTunes.

We've already tried to connect it to iTunes on the first synced mac, but it's just saying that there is a problem with the iPhone and it need to be updated or restored. So we updated it, as he don't wan't to loose his pictures, but after that it still saying, disabled connect to iTunes.

I've tried several recovery programs like, dr. phone. IOS rescue and so on. But it doesn't really work.

So we called Apple support, and they say the same thing. Connect, update, and so on..

But the problem is that, he haven't synced it with iTunes since 2015, and his iCloud backup is full and has been since 2016.....

- Is there anything to do in this case to recover the photos, some of them are of old family members who has passed away.

Like putting it in to DFU mode, connect to a terminal, or run a script or anything like that?

Thanks in advance.

I am replacing the LCD in my Iphone 6 plus and was looking to replace with one of yours. I am curious why your screen only has two connector Ribbons? As far as I can see you can not remove any of the ribbons from the screen its self.

iPhone 6: Completely Dead iPhone 6 repair tried lots and no joy

Thu, 27 Dec 2018 02:03:23 -0700

Hi, I do small repairs on small devices but this is for MY IPHONE, embarrassing as I can't fix it to date. It just died one day..... and I mean its DEAD,

No response at all and the USB meter shows no current draw whatsoever. I know that this is a board level repair as I have placed the board in a working housing and still no difference. i.e. good battery, dock, screen etc. everything but the board!

I have checked for shorts on power lines and have not seen any at all. The board also looks good under the scope (nothing physically damaged - why would it it just died!)

Now as I last saw the device working before I plugged it into a car charger (yes a crappy one!) I suspected a TRiSTAR problem. So I replaced this IC and no difference, still DEAD no current draw.

All posts and forums suggest for a completely dead device either a short of U2 Tristar...

I am now thinking of the Power Management and Big Power Management IC's. Has anyone else seen anything like this before and have any recommendations before I try these in desperation?

Any help very much appreciated....

Nathan

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 08:37:02 -0700

Work at a repair shop and have an issue with a customers phone showing that it is 'searching' for a signal on end. Is this something that a parts repair would solve or is it a mother board issue?

It now says 'no service' despite there being service on the SIM
