Just wondering if anyone knows of a good supplier of iPhone 6s plus batteries? I got an iPhone 6s plus that needs a battery replacement as the original drains a lot faster now even on standby.

I saw that iFixit stock a battery for this phone and I was about to buy it. However, the high £12 postage cost put me off. It brought the cost up to around £35. I ended up looking elsewhere and took a gamble on Amazon. It costed £18. Unfortunately, it did not pay off as the phone regularly reboots and doesn't properly charge.

I put the original battery back in just to make sure no damage occurred to the phone during disassembly/reassembly. That one behaves fine with no reboots and charges all the way to 100%. So it's clear the battery I bought is bad.

I'm hoping that someone knows of a good supplier that ships to the UK so I don't have to order multiple batteries from multiple places hoping they work.

Appreciate any help.

Any help appreciated!

I cannot activate iPhone after reset. It cannot find Wi-Fi networks. I was trying to put in DFU mode and reset via iTunes - iOS installed successfully without errors.

Also I tried with SIM card with 4g network access (NO PIN): on the left corner i had “4g”, and still stuck!

On the “Hello” screen “i” button shows IMEI. What might be wrong with this iPhone and what would be the solution?

Thanks!

…..crickets. Screen BACKLIGHT was working, audio was on, etc. The screen’s information was not being displayed at all. No signal. Power? Yes. Signal, No. (just to be clear, by “signal”, I mean “I can’t see a thing on the screen except dark backlight glow”)

I reopened it. I decided to check once more before disconnecting battery and Digi assembly…… A bright and brilliant HIGH Def screen greeted me with a smile and a twinkle that was specifically preprogrammed for me by apple technicians. (It helps me cope with many complexes. Don’t judge me). I found no discrepancies, and I was unable to manually trigger a signal cutoff anywhere by probing with a nylon probe. Upon assembly, my hopes and dreams for any justice in this cruel cruel world ended when I couldn’t get that demon-possessed lcd to come on until I separated the print panel again. Well, to make a long story a few lines longer; The point of contact that I have narrowed it down to is top left corner. Whether the rest of the phone is seated or not, when I seat the top right corner, the signal of info stops. The lcd IS POWERED (I see the glow in low light). But nothing else can be seen. I can’t find the short. Anyone have a favor they can use to figure this one out? Maybe you have a cousin who knows someone that roots through the garbage of someone who cuts the hair of a genie (yeah, you know; GENIE. 3 wishes, etc.), and wants to loan me a wish towards figuring out this phone? Much obliged….

After I changed the screen over for the new one, the phone powers on, and displays fine, the home button works fine, but the touch response does not work at all. Suspecting a potential faulty screen, I exchanged back to the damages screen and it is also the same (powers up etc ,displays but touch response not working at all). I've tried hard reset etc and nothing resolves it. I've inspected the logic board plugs and the pins look aligned and fine. Any ideas?

Is there any steps I should try? Thanks!

Thinking I got a dud screen I got iFixit to send me a replacement, but the new screen has the EXACT same issue. Phone turns on, backlight ok, no image. Old screen still works 100% fine. And yes the screen was installed with the battery connector removed.

At this point I have no idea what is going on as there is obviously no board damage and I can’t be installing the connectors wrong if every time I put the old screen back in it works, which I have done multiple times. I’m almost willing to just give up but if anyone has any ideas that’d be great.
