I have an iPhone 8 Plus and it won’t show a screen when I put a screen on it when it has no front camera. I’ve tested it with 2 LCD’s (they aren’t OEM) and I can feel the phone vibrating and everything it just won’t show a screen. I currently don’t have front camera. What do I do?

iPhone 8 Plus: Does anyone know about wifi reprogramming?

Wed, 15 May 2019 13:08:13 -0700

I sent my iPhone 8 for professional repair and the tech said he repaired the chip but now it needs reprogramming. He said he’s waiting for his reprogrammer to be returned from China.

Does this sound correct or is he pulling my leg? I’ve been waiting 2 months and apparently it still hasn’t arrived.

The phone works perfect except for wifi.

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 plus home button rapid firing after LCD replacement?

Wed, 15 May 2019 04:44:57 -0700

I recently did a screen repair on an iphone 8 plus. Everything was working fine, it was a routine screen replacement. The home button came out intact, but as I tested it out with the new screen the home button became extra sensitive. It rapid fires as I press it down it shows the recently used applications instead of using siri. Has anyone else had this problem before? Is there a fix for it or should I just send it in to apple for repair?

iPhone 8 Plus: Fixing Glass on the Back Housing!

I want to learn how to take off the iPhone 8 back glass but not the full back housing. I attempted it in the pictures but I don’t want to have to do it so rough next time. Don’t worry it wasnt a full phone in there. It was just the housing for parts. Future tips and tricks would be very helpful!!! Thank you!

iPhone 8 Plus: Phone touchscreen works before pressing it into body

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 19:44:53 -0700

I replaced the phone screen on my iPhone 8 Plus and tested it before placing it into the body of the phone. The phone reacts to touch until it is clicked into the bottom of the phone then immediately looses response to any input.

Any suggestions?

iPhone 8 Plus: Home button stopped working

Fri, 01 Mar 2019 17:30:20 -0700

I replaced a lot of things on an 8+ and after putting everything back the home button stopped working. The screen wasn’t replaced but the homebutton was the only thing that stopped working. Could it just be the ribbon cable that connects to the logic board and if i wan’t to keep touch id would it still work?

iPhone 8 Plus: Rear camera only working in Facebook?

Tue, 15 Jan 2019 16:27:36 -0700

Okay so I dropped my phone pretty bad, the back of the phone has lost a lot of glass but that doesn’t bother me too much, what does bother me is the rear camera isn’t working anymore, it’s just black on the camera app, snapchat and everything else apart from Facebook where it works.I was going to replace the rear camera but then got thinking and if the camera still works in Facebook, does that mean it’s a connection or processor that has broken/disconnected and not the camera has broken. Any advice on what it could be?

thanks in advance

iPhone 8 Plus: Home button stopped working after the repair

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 06:36:15 -0700

I replaced the broken screen on the iPhone 8 Plus and everything looks great but now the home button isn’t working. I’m worried I may have damaged the ribbon cable getting it apart. Is it a lost cause or is it worth taking it apart again? I can sorta use the phone with the virtual home button, but it’s not ideal.

iPhone 8 Plus: How to get a home button working?

Sun, 12 Aug 2018 09:32:07 -0700

I have an iPhone 8 plus that I bought as a project to fix and get going again, then possibly sell. I have ordered most parts, except for the back glass (hard to find a product red OEM one for a decent price..), and the parts have started arriving now.

However, I’ve been doing some reading on the home button. I have the original button, but not the connectors/flex cables. Is there any way to get a working home button? Would it work if I got an iCloud locked 8/8 Plus and stole the home button? i’m aware touch ID wont work, I just need a functioning home button. I will continue with my own research, but any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8+ Camera bump/glass complete replacement...not just the glass

Thu, 26 Jul 2018 19:15:02 -0700

I bought a camera glass replacement off ebay and it is the entrie "bump"with the glass. All the videos just show the glass replacement. The replacement piece is just one solid piece and looks like it would be an easy pop out, pop it in procedure. I can get a razor blade under the bump, but can't get it to come out, even with heat. Any way to do this or is it glued down?? Thanks!

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone will not restore after failed update

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 23:50:57 -0700

I attempted to complete the latest update for my device, using the Apple Devices app on my Windows 10 computer. During the update an error was thrown and the process eventually failed, but the software had already been removed from the phone. I selected the update option within Apple Devices, but each time produced an error. I then attempted to factory restore the device, but that also ended with the error: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (53). 0634.0035

Each time that I've tried to complete the restore, the progress bar builds to about 50% on the phone screen, but will not make it further before throwing the error mentioned.

Here are the additional steps I've taken to troubleshoot the issue: Used several different USB cables, deactivated all Windows security (firewall, antivirus, etc), tried another Windows 10 computer, tried 2 different Windows 11 computers, ensured that all updates on each computer used were completed and finally attempted to put the phone into DFU mode.

I've only been able to get the computer to recognize the phone in the Apple Devices app. iTunes will not recognize the phone at all as I've gone through troubleshooting. I've even downloaded an older version of iTunes, but still not seeing the phone. Help, please!
