Also, the GPS doesn't work well, it says I am in a place half a mile away and doesn't update for a while. This makes it impossible to use for navigation while driving.

My phone was dropped, and the top and right side metal pieces are coming apart near the seam by the main camera. The problems started happening a while after, but this probably has something to do with it. Here is an image of where my phone is coming apart.

If I squeeze the top of my phone (metal part) and the bottom (speaker grille), cell service and GPS start working, but when I stop squeezing, it stops working. Rebooting the phone seems to help sometimes.

What can I do to fix these problems? Is there a replacement cell antenna that I can buy that will solve the issue?

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!

After restarting, my iPhone will show that this function is turned on to protect my phone, but I don't know why it will automatically turn on this function. What should I do? Should I change the battery or consider changing the iPhone?

I will be very grateful for any helpful answer.

is it a bad silent connector, could the battery be expanding inside (no real signs that the case is opening at this moment) .

Body:

Assalamu Alaikum,

I am working on an iPhone 8 Plus. The problem is:

- The phone powers on and backlight works, but the display shows no picture.

- I noticed that some capacitors near the display connector are missing or damaged.

- There is also a thin jumper wire already installed on the connector, but I am not sure which signal line it is repairing.

I don’t have the original capacitors available right now.

I need help with:

1. Identifying which capacitor(s) are critical for the display image.

2. Explaining exactly which jumper is for which line (signal / power).

3. Providing a step-by-step repair guide with clear marks / indicators, so I can follow under a microscope safely.

4. Suggestions for a temporary solution if capacitors are not available, without causing further damage.

I have attached two pictures showing:

- The display connector

- The existing jumper and the missing capacitors

I kindly request:

- Step-by-step guidance

- Marks / arrows / highlights on the pictures (if possible)

- Explanation of signal lines

Thanks.

My iPhone 8 Plus has a black shadow on the right bottom corner of the screen after I changed the LCD Screen. Could this be a bad Backlight IC? If yes where is the Backlight IC on the motherboard and would changing it fix the problem like it does on the other iPhones. Couldn’t find anything on the internet for the 8 plus regarding the issue I have.

Thanks,

Fahad

I checked the motherboard and turns out the pin 45 was bad on the J5700 connector. So I flipped the board to check the fiter/fuse and the small C5733 is bad. What do I replace it with?

I sent a couple of iPhone 8 Plus phones off recently for back glass repairs and when I received them back I noticed that the cameras are now blurry and not able to focus. I’ve tried around 3 different cameras now and each one has a blurred image so it cannot be the actual camera. Any ideas?

I recently broke my phone screen and got it replaced (not at Apple). The colors of my phone are all messed up now. The contrast + saturation of my screen is really high, and all my pictures look really ugly and distorted now. I tried fixing it in settings in color filters, but it didn’t work; the contrast and saturation are too high. Also my increase contrast is off. What do I do??
