My phone dropped (in its cover) flat on the ground (tiles). As soon as I picked it up, I noticed the phone restarted and I could see vertical strips in which the lcd was not working (all of it on the right hand side of the screen) and once it fully booted the digitizer was completely unresponsive. This was a massive problem as I couldn't back up my device

Ordered online a new lcd+digitizer to repair it myself and followed the steps provided here.

Once the panel was in place and the phone was closed, turned it on and tried to enter my pin. Digitizer is unresponsive... but for a moment it flicked... something was recognised as a swipe as it went from "locked screen" to "enter your pin". Noticed after a while that moving or squeezing the phone before pressing certain areas made it respond at times.

Did different orientations, squeezes and gentle taps and I managed to unlock the phone with extreme patience (so now I can backup my phone on my computer).

Disassembled the phone to tried the new panel on a working phone and it works without hassles.

What can be wrong with my phone? Has anybody had a problem like this?

EDIT 1: playing with the device I can notice corners react without issues so I can swipe up or down within certain range.

EDIT 2: if I use the middle of my thumb or two fingers it recognises swipe without issues and I can type with enough patience using the center of my thumb. I am starting to think the screen is dodgy. Anybody? comments?

• When I charge my iPhone, it shows the battery percentage indicator, but the battery percentage doesn't increase.
• The charge indicator will stick on the number that's currently on the display.
• After restarting the phone, I see the battery percentage increase—but this doesn't work every time.
• Sometimes the phone charges properly, but I have to face this issue most of the time.
• When I do a hard reset (home+power button), the battery percentage drops from around 25% to only 8%.
• When I try to connect my phone to my PC, the phone restarts again and again.
• Sometimes, when I use my phone while charging, the battery percentage will not increase.
• When I charge my phone with the battery below 10%, the phone restarts again and again.
• Sometimes, when the battery is totally dead and I try to charge it, the phone won't start, and it will only show the red indicator on the screen.
• I've been facing this issue for the past week. My phone is currently on iOS 7.1.1.
• When the phone gets to 100% charge, it does not show the full charge indicator on the battery.
• I need to unplug and connect a few times to make the iPhone connect to iTunes, but iTunes works fine on the phone.
• The phone has never been repaired before.
• I've tried changing the charger and cables. I've also recalibrated the battery and performed a restore, but that didn't fix the problem.

Is this issue due to a bad battery, or is there some problem with the phone's logic board?

We purchase LCD screens back from the repair shops that we do business with and am still amazed at how many people have thrown away their screens and could have made thousands of dollars selling them out.

What do you do with your broken LCD screens?

안녕하세요 같은 한국인도 볼까봐 질문 올립니다

제가 아이폰5가 화면이 안나온걸 액정 교체해서 터치패널은 어떻게 고쳤는데

화면은 나오는데 이번에는

자꾸 재부팅이 됩니다

처음에는 배터리 연결쪽 문제인가 하고

배터리를 새롭게 사서

배러리를 구매해서

갈아줬더니

배터리가 부족하다는 표시가

잠깐 나오고

다시 무한 재부팅 입니다



인터넷에서 강제 부팅이 있다길래 일단 하긴 했는데

배터리 잠깐 표시 되고

애플로고 나오고

아이 튠즈에 연결 되었다고 표시만 띕니다


막상 아이튠즈를 실행시켜 복원하려면 또 재부팅이 되어

복원이 또 안됩니다;; 배터리를 샀는데 충전도 안되고

하드판이 고장난건지 원인을 모르겠습니다

It appears to be otherwise intact. It is still functional.

I have never dropped the device on anything other than carpet from farther than a few feet.

There is approximately a 1-2mm visible gap between the bottom of the glass panel and the top of the metal surrounding strip.

Pushing the panel back into the body causes the panel to flex a little, but it does not stay in place.

Any ideas about what happened and how it might be possible to fix it?

Thanks for your comment!

I keep it in a Mophie case, in a front pant pocket or a suit breast pocket. Between the rigid case and where I keep it, I don't think the case is bent as the rear panel is quite flat still.

What I meant by "flex" is that I can push the corner down so it is true to the back panel, but it doesn't stay in place.

But the memory chip seems to be fine.

Now I am wondering if it is possible to unsolder the Hynix H2JTDG2MBR NAND Memory Chip and transfer it to a new Iphone.

I would buy a new working iphone and would like to change the Hynix H2JTDG2MBR in this phone with my old one to recover my data and to have a new working phone by the the side.

Because it is a BGA Chip I would need a special company for that, that should not ne the problem.

But will this process work generally ?

I heard something about AES encryption of the memory, so perhaps that only works if the CPU is also transferred ?

How do the comanys for for datarescue do that. They told me it is no problem to get the data out of the memory chip, they unsolder the chip and read them out...
