I bought my stepdaughter a used iPhone for Christmas and was totally unaware of this issue. I felt bad because I bought her a broken phone and also because I was out $300. No phone repair place would touch it. I tried this and it's fixed!!!! More amazing is by following your directions, I was able to put it back together perfectly! Thank you so much!!!
Best solution ever. I tried almost every method to fix the touch disease, but they weren’t as a permanent solution as this one that ISmart demonstrated right here. I tried cleaning the inside of the phone with a toothbrush. That didn’t work. I tried putting a SIM card inside of my phone to connect the screen to the phone that didn’t work. I tried restarting and resetting my phone. That didn’t work as well. ISmart earned that Nickname. I wouldn’t have been able to fix my phone without him. I didn’t have red adhesive tape, but I used double sided and black electrical tape to place them on the two components to connect the touch screen to my phone, and it worked very well for me. So far the touch screen disease didn’t come back for a week. I thank you ISmart.
Followed these instructions exactly and they worked. Never taken a phone apart like this before - huge gratitude for your clear instructions. Really, really helpful.
Thank you so much for your video. My husband shared this video to me. And today I followed your steps and fixed his iPhone 6+ successfully. Our cost is zero! You are really talent. Thanks again!
2018-12-05 I have just done this and , so far, no touch disease. Thanks very much! I'll report back on how it goes over time. 2018-12-15 It’s been 10 days and iPhone is still working great. 2019-01-24 iPhone 6Plus still hasn’t missed a beat. 2019-09-24 my iPhone is still working with no problems. I didn’t apply any heat to the Touch chip but that is recommended in the latest version of this fix. Have a look at the new version released 2 days ago also.
I just had to write how happy i'm that i tried using this video. I must admit that I didn't think it would work. Not to mention those screws are tiny. But to make a long story short I followed the video and i'm happy to report it "Worked" !!!!!. Just take your time and pause the video in case you need more help. Yes I lost a few screws but my iPhone 6 Plus is working again. Thank you and God bless.
I haven't even tried this yet, just now seeing, and I already love this video. Why? Because you REASSEMBLED it on the video too!! Another video I found only fixed it and then ended the video. Hope this works for me! This phone helps so much with my business.
OMG AMIGO YOU SAVED my life!!! im completely broke without a job I can't believe how easy it is to fix my phone, as my dad says if you teach a man how to fish...... thanks amigo people like you make youtube an even bigger asset!!!!!!
Thank you very very much!! I use my iPhone 6 Plus for work and you my man have made my day. Thank you again for your expertise. Had this phone for 4 years I replaced the screen as it was fried but now it’s responding everytime. I had to smack it to work there for I knew it was a hardware problem. Absolute legend. Thank you thank you.
This was an extremely helpful tutorial on how to fix the "ghost touch" problem. However, I want to give a warning to anyone with a 6S Plus. There are a couple different points in the video to be aware of. 1) Don't forget to disconnect the power-button connector before lifting the motherboard. It loops under the motherboard and around to the top. This connector is different on the 6 Plus, so it is not in the video. Just be careful. 2) The two points to apply pressure are not in the same positions either, so you need to be a little more creative with your method. I just finished doing this, though, and it looks like everything is in working order again. I'm leaving the phone on to see if any problems come up, but it's been roughly an hour already and it's still perfectly responsive. Thank you so much!
@@ameliaseinitausala1810 What do you mean? I did it almost exactly how he did in the video, but just pointed out the differences in my comment regarding the 6S Plus.
What I did to fix mine (so far it’s worked 2 days) is take as many screws out of the motherboard as you can and pry on the side gently while tucking in tightly folded paper shims. You can take out the motherboard and put electrical tape on the back as a shim but my screwdriver hates half of the screws in that phone. This video is an absolute godsend so far, thank you.
IT WORKS !!!! I hesitated at first, then I watched the video twice. Did exactly as directed, now I am super happy with my iphone. a little tip> it is tricky when you twist the mother board out, so pay attention to how he does it.
Awesome fix, worked for me on an iPhone 6 where you have to remove a couple more screws to remove motherboard compared to the 6 Plus. Thanks for the video :)
Excellent...it worked for my iPhone 6 plus almost everything was successful except the Wi Fi antenna I accidental broke the tiny cable, so I have to order a new one online for $2.99 following your video instructions step by step, Thank you so much...!
Joe Cifuentes hi joe, I did the same thing when I took this apart, so I disconnected the broken antenna cable with the intention of getting a replacement... did you put your phone back together with the broken antenna and did it work? Mine isn’t turning on without it, so I wonder if that’s it or if I messed something else up.
Excellent presentation, helped me out a lot. The disassembly and reassembly instruction were awesome. So far it's functioning as advertised. Thank you so very much for sharing your in depth knowledge and skills!
you are a legend! i already like and subscribe your youtube channel...i know when i go to repair its gonna cost me about $200 to buy new motherboard (may be) BUT you really awesome...its work 200% thank you so much...
Yes it works. If still not working try adding another layer of adhesive. Depending on bend in phone it may need more. Not too much however, can cause pressure on screen/digitizer that is visible when touching screen.
I did this tape trick and it worked for about 9 or 10 months from November 2018 to yesterday September 21st, 2019. Part of it is probably because the tapes adhesive (electrical tape) was good but over time just stopped working and started moving around and I stopped the phone many times these past two months so I think it wasn’t as tight I redid the process about 4 months ago btw and it worked but now it just doesn’t anymore so I guess that’s it for my 6 plus time to downgrade to my 5s 💀, did the tape trick again today December 20th and I fixed it but I pryed the battery out so now I need a new one and a new WiFi antenna because I always loose a screw and break something when I take iPhones apart.
Thanks brother! I looked at 10 videos before I saw this and it was very simple and it worked. Took about 15 min total. Thank You I'm very upset with apple because when I brought it in they said nothing about this disease and I was forced into buying a new phone, Just after paying off my 6plus for a grand I get hit for another grand and 30 more months with ATT What a Scam!!
yo dude.i jst want to say, this trick is perfect. i don't have to reball the ic to solve the freaking screen. very much thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I have to stop back and thank you. The idea of doing this was more daunting than actually having to go through with the fix. You were very slow and methodical. I was able to do this in no time. What I would recommend is, include a link for a screw chart. :) Thank you!
A VERY competent repair person! Like I was in my younger years! Very sharp eyesight, and steady hands! I wonder is this is more with the iPhone6" as it had a softer aluminum? They changed to a stronger aluminum in the 6S and Plus I read?
Great video. I learnt so much from this. I have replaced my own battery and screen on my ip6 and this has given me the confidence to help my family & friends with further repairs 🤪👍
Hey thanks for the video because it helped me tremendously. Your steps were very precise and clear. The camera was still and I could see what you were doing very clearly. I did use a piece of electrical tape that I saw from another video. Thanks again!!!! I finally have my phone back.
Jordan Cook: Sorry for replying wrong. My screen had issues and while I was watching this video my screen acted crazy again and replied to you without me touching the screen.
Great video, I’m watching it on an Iphone 6 plus with the very same problem, I will try to fix it following your tutorial since I can’t afford a new phone right now.
Mate... you are an absolute legend..... I took me phone to almost every single phone repairs and they told me that it was better for me to buy a new one cos the repair could cost me like a new phone..... so I just followed your instructions and bloody hell mate... it fully works now.... you r absolute awesome bro... tnx you.
I've just repaired my iPhone 6 Plus's touch disease with this instructions! But, instead of using folded scotch tape, I used some hard plastic that I cut out from a SIM card adapter. Now my phone finally works perfectly! Highly recommended instructions for the iPhone 6+ touch issue! Thank you iSmart for this video!
Hey man! Ur videos have been really a great help to the problems in my iphone 6s now. I just have a question about my connectivity in my device.. when i try to connect to a bluetooth speak i cant get even far for more than 2 to 3 meters from the speaker and when im connected to a wifi i got lowest signal bar to my wifi even if im just beside the router. We have 2 iphones in our house and this is the only that i’ve notice getting this kind of issue.
2weeks ago It cost me $40 just to fix my phone and now it repeats again!!!! Ugh what should i do? Should i do this or go again to the repair shop? I'm just a student so i don't have enough money to pay to the repair shoppp help pleaseee
THANK YOU!! I EVEN JUST LIFTED THE SCREEN AND PLACED A PIECE OF CARD ON THE CHIP COVER WITHOUT REMOVING IT. WILL SEE HOW LONG THAT LASTS AND THEN MAYBE PLACE UNDERNEATH. WISH I HADN'T GONE OUT AND BOUGHT ANOTHER PHONE NOW LOL. THANKS AGAIN.
your phone was just a little different than mine and i had to take it apart again because it was only partially fixed but after the 2nd time my phone works great now! thank you very much! great video :-)
I want to thank you for sharing this video. I do cell phone repair part time and I always like to learn new stuff. If you could? Can you please add the temperature you used. My attempt was successful but it was a shot in the dark with the temp. Thanks again.
hi Felipe, i set the heat at the highest level and i heat up the component for 2 to 3 seconds maximum, I MAY HEAT IT TWICE BUT BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL BECAUSE THE SOLDER MAY MELT UNDERNEATH THE COMPONENT AND THEN THE MOTHERBOARD WILL NEVER TURN ON. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK ;)
Brilliant! How did you figure this out? And you should be a surgeon. I've never seen hands so steady. Sometimes it take me a minute or more to position a single screen. Great video!
I would like to try this one. Looks easy. I already tried to fix my iPhone6plus once, I replaced the LCD. After a while some part of the screen does not work. Like I can swipe it to the left and to the right but when I try to switch it off the screen does not work. I can't also press the 4/R button. So I ordered another LCD replacement. If the LCD replacement still has the same issue, I would definitely love to try this one. I'll save this video for my future reference :) Also please give me advise if it's the LCD that really has the problem or just the motherboard itself? Cause I feel like I waste money to buy a new LCD replacement. Thank you.
Hi, thank your for the video. I have a question: I followed all the steps and closed the phone again, but now I see 4 light, vague white stripes on the screen (vertical direction). Do you know what I've done wrong? :( I hope you can help.
big clutch. I tried the solution but didnt have enough layers so i took it apart and put it back together with more layers. It did make the problem less worse but it still does the thing every so often.
Didn’t you need to disconnect the battery first? Also do you use magnifying glasses when working on the phone. I find that it was all so much smaller when I did it in real life
Mine has no bent at all but had Ghost touching issue. I saw video where putting a tape onto the LCD connectors would solve the problem. I tried it and my phone is still working fine.
hello..i'll try this week end...only a question..is it necessary to heat up with a heat gun when you finish to attach the scotch?...i ask everyone on the channel..thanks
