iSclack

我的问题

GPS had stopped working. A diagnostic app showed that I was getting no satellite signal whatsoever. Now I have great signal.

我的修理方法

The instructions were spot on. The time estimate was accurate—it took me an hour an a half.

我的建议

Getting the iSclack was worth every penny. The iFixit instructions won’t steer you wrong.

我的问题

At almost 3 years old, my iPhone 6 battery would only last a couple hours before needing a charge. Even less in cold weather. The phone is perfect otherwise, and I could not justify paying major $$ for a new phone if I could replace the battery.

我的修理方法

After first watching the battery replacement video I powered down my iPhone and carefully followed each step on the phone. The quality and accuracy of the repair guide was very good, and I didn't encounter any surprises along the way. The included tools worked perfectly and were of a higher quality compared to tools that I've received in the past from other companies. For additional peace of mind, I also ordered the iSclack Opener, which easily and safely opened my phone, but after seeing how easily the phone opened you would probably do fine with the included suction cup. The adhesive strips came off without tearing (be patient), and I was able to easily apply the new adhesive strips to the new battery and reinstall. My phone was easy to reassemble and I performed a hard reset per the replacement guide. The phone powered on and I used it until the battery charge dropped below 10% then fully charged to 100% to calibrate it. The whole replacement process took about 40 minutes because I was taking my time and being cautious, but it was not very difficult at all for me. I am very pleased!

我的建议

Watch the repair video both before and during the repair process so that you don't forget or skip any important info.

Work in a well lit area. My middle aged eyes also found a magnifying glass helpful!

Don't rush things—especially the adhesive strips. Be patient.

我的问题

Battery was over 2 years old, having to charge it multiple times a day. Performance degraded due to old battery.

我的修理方法

Having the correct tools makes any job easier. The tools provided along with the instruction made this a simple battery swap. Almost as easy as changing battery’s in a flashlight.

我的建议

Careful with removing the old battery adhesive. Take your time.

我的问题

phone was running slow ( 600-900 Mhz as reported by cpu-dasherx)

我的修理方法

ok, the screen seal was tricky to get off and the guide didn't mention the fact that if you use a new seal it will stick to the screen while you attempt to reconnect the screen cables. it was tricky to get it back together because of that. The only issue I had was one of the old battery adhesive strips broke and I had to work it out.

我的建议

splurge for the isclack, its makes removing the screen simple. with the 6s you have be careful because of the screen adhesive but it was super easy to apply light pressure, enough to lift the screen slightly to the tool underneath and separate the adhesive

我的问题

The autofocus on my rear-facing camera would just pulse and never settle on a focus setting.

我的修理方法

The repair was easy. There only two sticky points. First when plugging in the display cable, it is kind of fiddly and ended up using my fingers but never got a confident seating like the other cables. The second was putting the cover over all the cables it was very tight on the cables running to the back half of the phone so it was awkward holding the case at an angle to keep the pressure off of the cables while putting the protective cover back on. Other than that. Very easy.

我的建议

Take your time. Keep your screw organized, i.e. lay them out in a pattern that mimics where they came from. Use magnification of some type. I have a headset magnifier and it really helped when seating the cables.
