    Just a few points:
    1 - when removing the screen, be careful when inserting a tool in the left no side of the scren, the home button flex cable is right there. Go in too deep and you could easily break it.
    2 - The battery service message goes away with a GOOD battery, the one you installed was only with 85% efficiency.
    3 - You were being a little too rough on the home button flex, it could easily break the solder on that tiny IC. Soak the Home button flex with IPA before removing it, it goes way smoother.
    With that said, this color looks amazing in this phone. Good job.

    • @FlamingPhoenix40
      @FlamingPhoenix40 4 года назад +4

      On your second point: wouldn’t it be bc he copied the data from the original battery to the new battery, including the efficiency? I can’t imagine iFixit selling replacement batteries with only 85% efficiency.

    It is very satisfying and impressive to watch how you repair these phones. You are a true technician indeed. I especially like what you said towards the end of the video referring to the battery replacement: “If you ask me, I’m the one who purchased this phone. So why can’t I fix it?” It is the question of the century and Apple has yet to provide a convincing response. I am sure someone will hold them accountable one day.

    Apple Authorized Repair Technician here. You can get around the TouchID issue by going into Apple or an authorized repair store and asking for a display replacement. The only way to legitimately bipass the TouchID error is for us to run RepairCal. It's a piece of Apple software which is cloud based, but installed onto a mac. We put them into recovery mode, and it runs automatically and essentially recalibrates the display and other componants. We then run Post Repair Diagnostics in GSX to confirm every component checks out, and if it passes you're off to the races. This isn't secret, but access is restricted to authorized and trained repair techs. I used to do third party repair, and whilst it's easier in many ways...Apple does make it pretty damn convenient to perform repairs. From the proper molds to seat iPhones in during repair to avoid sliding and accidental damage, to excellent tools and diagrams. I really enjoy working on iPhones as an authorized repair tech compared to the stress I used to face doing it third party.
    That being said, I do not like the idea of punishing users for using third party parts. There comes a time when Apple will no longer supply parts, so what then? SOL I guess.

    There are 2 dots on the housing that matches up the charging port... when you install it correctly the connector should fit

    I think if you put the black buttons and the silent switch to the blue frame would of been a nice look. Nice black and blue.

    There's a new version of the JC home button. It needs to be programmed by the JC Programmer but doesn't need the bridging on the logic board and has the real 3D Touch.
