Hello! This is my first attempt at opening up an Apple iPhone. This one is a 6s.
The battery keeps randomly dying and the screen has a crack. Will I be able to get into it and fix it without breaking it?!
The Screen: amzn.to/35LqhdH
The Battery: amzn.to/3qlTWDC
The Delightful Orange Case: amzn.to/3qlTWDC
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

As John Wright has pointed out, if you're doing this yourself, make sure you swap over the original home button or the touch ID won't function! Thanks John! 👍

@5izzy557 2 года назад

Dang, why is that? Apple just making stuff harder to replace/repair or is there some good reason for it?

@Shaz8389 2 года назад

@@5izzy557 the home button is serial coded to the device, Apple can code new ones but it's easier to just swap them over for the rest of us.

@5izzy557 2 года назад

@@Shaz8389 But why is it serial coded to the device? Sounds like apple just making repairs harder, but I was curious if there was a good reason for it? Thanks for the response though.

@@5izzy557 Thats the only reason for it, to hinder repairs.

@GarethIzCool 2 года назад

@@5izzy557 its part of the fingerprint id security system. At least thats their official answer. Honestly im skeptical. The guy i spoke to from apple a couple of years ago claimed there is a chip in the fingerprint scanner section that connects to the security system and there is some sort of trust relationship between the chip in the scanner and the security system to stop people from tricking the phone into unlocking by tampering with the fingerprint scanner.

@LarkspeedNL 2 года назад

when you fit the new battery it's much easier to put the adhesive strips on the back of the battery first, then peel off the backing and put the battery in place. trying to do it the way you did it you can mess up the strips and make them very difficult to remove if you ever have to get the battery out again.

@meistermueller 2 года назад

Better swap the original Home Button from the damaged screen, because it’s paired to the motherboard. Otherwise the fingerprint won’t work anymore

@UserUser-ww2nj Год назад

I can't remember exactly how it works but he did hit the home button during setup and it seemed to work . Maybe it is later in the setup that it rejects the "new " home button . Not done one in a while

@jed2055 5 месяцев назад

@@UserUser-ww2nj The Home button works but it won't allow the phone to unlock. Only the original Home button will do that. The directions that come with a complete kit or just the screen usually mention it. Steve's phone was obviously not locked when he pressed and "unlocked" it.

"Why does it looks so easy when you look at it on the Internet?" This is funny because I have a theory that there are certain things that ONLY work on RU-vid videos...such as tweaking the potmeter of a disc drive and it magically solves ALL of your disc read errors :D I bet this one only worked because you made a video about it.

Fair play Stez; a fairly easy one. Being Apple, I'm surprised you didn't need to remove circular triangle screw heads to access the rhombus screw heads, in order to remove the actual part you want, held down with trapeze headed left handed screws. 😜

That's how Samsung's are. I now understand why every man and his dog at the small offer cheap iPhone screen replacements but only a small number of repair shops will even touch a Samsung to replace the screen, and will charge an arm and a leg for the pleasure.

@intoxicode 3 года назад

@@StezStixFix Yeah since it's an 8ohm, just used a dual 4 ohm voice coil sub, hardest part is trying to find the max wattage though, with bass boost, and +volume maxed out, I figured around 350-450w was peak but still not sure. Went with a 500w just for headroom

@intoxicode 3 года назад

seems like the max original rms was 380~W so 400-500 seems perfect? but still don't know enough about audio engineering headroom

@StezStixFix 3 года назад

@@intoxicode yeah, I'm not sure myself. I would think 400/500 would be absolutely fine though. I think RMS calculations are typically quite complicated. But 380 RMS is likely to be higher than 500. But I'd definitely have to do some more learning! 😬

Great video Steve. You seem very happy to found a cheap screen, but im sorry to tell you that you actually got the most expensive setup (with camera, speaker and home button). Being your first time still great. Next time you dont need to pay extra for these 👏🏼

@StezStixFix 3 года назад

Thabks JCL! I actually got an Amazon Warehouese deal, and it was an additional 30% off too, so it worked out very nice indeed. But yeah, in hindsight, I would get one where you keep as many of the original parts as possible 👍
