Electronics is my career and hobby!
Background:
I am and Electrical Engineer by trade. Decided to study my M.S. in Biomedical Engineering which I recently completed. Now pursuing my PhD for fun.
How did I get into the repair business?
One of my friends broke her iPhone and decided to give it a shot. I loved the experience and kept doing it on the side while going to school. I asked her to keep the screens that came in the toolkit instead of money... haha
A few months later I opened my first shop in Memphis, TN and it has been a very fun experience. This was in 2012 so I have been in the industry for a little while now. I am very experienced with refurbishing and micro soldering, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
STS Repair has recently opened its Board Repair Services (Mail-ins).

Hat geantwortet auf: How to put a screw hole back after long screw damageYou can solder it back on. Just place it and sit your soldering iron on top of the socket, it will heat enough to solder itself back on.

Hat geantwortet auf: Broke the lightning connector - parts stuck in logicboardIt seems like corrosion made those connectors stick. You have to replace that connector and inspect around logic board to make sure there is no more damage on the logic board. If you are not a micro solderer id recommend finding a shop who can help!

Hat geantwortet auf: Side Clips Not Holding on Replacement ScreenStart by the top clips on the screen. Make sure they go into the frame. Then you do the sides and make sure they go in. If they are not easily going in and the frame is not bent you can help sliding a knife looking tool to help those clips to slide into place. Lastly, do the bottom. Triple check for bent frame, otherwise you will be breaking that screen!

Hat geantwortet auf: How much does a new screen costIt depends where you buy, however I'd say around $150 for the part.

Hat geantwortet auf: White lines on screenJack, This could have happened due to the phone being dropped as well. If no repairs were performed a drop could cause the flex cables to lose contact with the LCD contact glass causing the glitch you describe. You have to replace the screen in this case for a successful repair!

Hat geantwortet auf: iPhone is on but no screenHey there! haha Thanks Mayer, we all learn things everyday. Savas, you can either have a no backlight issue or a not image issue. It sounds like no backlight is the issue even though you say shining a light doesn't help. It is hard sometimes to see image, usually when you are turning on the phone and the apple logo is shown the best time to identify backlight issue. If it is a non image issue most likely there are small square components on top of the LCD connector that could be knocked off easily. However backlight circuit can be affected when working on a phone with a plugged battery, so make sure to ALWAYS disconnect the battery first! I can look at it if you want to mail it in ;)

Metal spudger is never a good idea against motherboard. Use heat gun for a FEW seconds while you wiggle board out. It will come off easily!
Guys.. COME ON.. BATTERY FIRST before connector.
Take the SIM card and the SD Card before the next STEP!!
Go to step 4 on this tutorial. You can swap it out with a different one if needed.
What do you mean spot weld? The ear speaker mesh is glued around the ear speaker hole, you can purchase these individually.
The backlight power flex is still soldered to the flex cable like other models. The only difference is that the force touch is part of the backlight.
Dylan, if this is due to screen being refurbished keep in mind the "assembling" of the screen in the refurbishing process is done in a clean dust free environment.
