iPhone 7 Plus: iPhone 7 Plus Replacement Battery.

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 04:16:30 -0700

Do you plan to set out for iPhone 7 Plus Replacement Battery? (Fix Kit)?

Now the site has only set for iPhone 6 Plus Replacement Battery (Product code: IF269-002-2). Interested in a similar set only for the iPhone 7 plus.

iPhone 7 Plus: Boot loop when the new screen is in the frame

Sat, 13 Apr 2019 12:36:23 -0700

Okay so I know this sounds weird but I just replaced the screen & battery on my iPhone 7 Plus, every screw it's in the right place as I made a diagram and placed every screw where it belongs now here lies the problem, the phone works perfectly when the screen is not placed in the frame but once I put in the screen where it belongs the phone goes in a boot loop unless I take the screen off the phone with the cables still connected. Any ideas? Thanks

iPhone 7 Plus: help problems after repair

Mon, 04 Feb 2019 17:03:36 -0700

So, I was restoring an iPhone 7 Plus. I replaced the Chassis, LCD and Battery.

I transferred literally everything over from the old chassis to the new one, same with the LCD. I come to power on the device and I’m hit with a bootloop. After about 5 minutes of boot looping, it turns on BUT it says Searching at the top and my battery is showing 1% (on the new and old battery, I’ve tested both). It is not charging at all and whenever I turn it off, it goes back to boot looping.

I’ve tried the old lcd and battery but no luck there. The front camera flex is fully connected, I even tried when it was disconnected! What is happening?!

Bearing in mind, the phone was fully functional before I started this repair.

iPhone 7 Plus: black screen after battery replacement iPhone 7 plus

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 20:22:45 -0700

Hey guys, I replaced the battery in my iphone 7 plus. The phone was working properly before, but the battery life was low, so I decided to try to replace it. I performed the replacement which seemingly went well. Trying to power the phone on doesn't appear to do anything. Connecting a charger and trying to power the phone on the screen stays black. The home button haptic feedback is working, so it would seem that it must have power. I did not disconnect the screen as part of the battery change, and I took the phone back apart a second time to check all connections.

iPhone 7 Plus: Why cant people hear me on phone calls after replacing my screen?

Tue, 30 Oct 2018 12:49:50 -0700

Hi! so my phone has recently been through the works. i replaced the oem screen with one from amazon because it broke. that screen was terrible quality so i bought one from this site instead. but prior to buying this screen from here i replaced my charging port cable because it stopped charging all together one day - also from amazon. Everything is installed at this point and the only issue with my phone is the top speaker wasn’t working unless I put pressure on it. Now that I’ve purchased a better quality screen from ifixit my speaker works! Yay! BUTTTTTT during phone calls people cant hear me, they say they hear 1 out of 5 words as if im going in and out. Now I’ve talked to siri, talk to text, video and voice memos and my mic seems to be perfectly fine. Why is it that people cant hear me?? i called myself from another phone and i can hear myself going in and out on the receiving end… help much appreciated!

iPhone 7 Plus: Unable to get into my own phone after update.

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 18:19:29 -0700

Hey all. I am hoping someone can tell me either what to do, or how to get out of this mess. So I bought this Iphone 7plus from a posting on craigs list. I am very aware of people trying to sell stolen phones and phones where they owe money. I lucked out and found this phone from an older gentleman who had just bought the X and wanted to sell his 7+. So after i verified the phone was completely legit, I bought it from him. I used the phone for about 2 months then in middle of March, it did an ios update. when the phone came back on, it looks like it took everything to do with me, out of the phone, has the original phone owner info up, has his email address and wants his password. I have tried literally everything I can think of to try to get out of this loop. But because I do not know the mans password or entire email acct that the phone thinks is the owner still... I cannot use the phone at all. I am not the most tech savvy person in the world. I just want my phone back. It is now locked, and I cannot do anything until i put in the previous owners password. I have tried and tried to find this man, even had taken out several adds on craigslist trying to reach him. Short of actually ever accomplishing that... What options do i have now? is the phone just totally unusable now? I paid 400 bucks for this phone to only get 2 months of usage. I sincerely hope someone has a solution for me that can get me out of this icloud lock. Has this happened to anyone else after an IOS update? Does anyone know who i could contact to get me my phone back? Is it even possible to wipe the phone completely and get the previous owners info out of my phone forever so this never happens again? Please someone help!

iPhone 7 Plus: home button ring is raised from top

Fri, 10 Aug 2018 10:34:19 -0700

hey guys I have bought a 7 plus yesterday and what I have noticed is that the ring on the home button is a little bit raised or sticking out on top and perfectly aligned on other sides, it works fine though the touch, the taptic engine. I have a 7 also but it is fine, also the sim tray is not original it doesn’t have a seal on it. the main concern is TOUCH ID. Should i return the phone and get other one or is it okay and I continue using it. will it get damaged or failed?

its so much minor that I could only feel it by swiping my finger over it and by looking very closely to surface I can see it a bit raised on top …

Please describe the best solution

Thanks in Advance!

iPhone 7 Plus: Touch screen not working after glowing apple logo mog

Tue, 22 May 2018 05:06:31 -0700

Ok, I did the glowing apple logo mod on my IPhone 7 plus and now the touch screen won't work. It powers on but I cant punch in my code or use the screen. I watched many videos and read up on this mod and I am pretty sure I did everything right. I even disconnected the light to see if it would work then but it still won't. Please help..

I just noticed that this piece in my phone is cracked. Could this be the reason?

But as soon as I put the screen back in the final position for the two bottom screws... there is no vibration, no sound, touch Id works but no home button.. any idea?

iPhone 7 Plus: Is my iPhone 7 Plus worth the repair?

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 08:29:00 -0700

I had my cracked screen replaced on my iPhone 7 Plus about a year ago. It was done by a third party repair shop, not Apple. I had minor issues with the touch; nothing that I could not work with and ignore. It does tend to heat up doing minor tasks and especially with a cover (that I never had an issue with with my 6 Plus, and still don’t). Makes me think that there may be some hardware damage, but I am not sure. Recently, within the last two months, the screen started going black, with some pixels of white in a small line on the screen, but not in the same place each time. Then would go to the startup screen with the Apple on it. It keeps doing this when I use it. This phone is a lease and it’s about time to return it. My predicament is that I won’t be able to lease or finance another phone, so paying the $130ish to buy the phone and repairing it, may be cheaper than buying a new one (almost $800 for the same phone, not ready to get the 8 or X). It is a 256GB Rose Gold iPhone 7 Plus. Given the symptoms, should I even dare take it to Apple or another repair shop to see if it can be salvaged or is it not worth it? Thank you!

iPhone 7 Plus: Does a cracked screen cause ghosting (self touch)?

Tue, 20 May 2025 19:56:13 -0700

I just got a used iPhone 7 Plus, and it has a cracked screen. I experience ghosting when the iPhone is plugged in (charging), especially when the device is warm or hot. The iPhone was never been opened/repaired, and every parts in the iPhone are still original.

Does a cracked screen cause ghosting (self touch) or is it something else?
