- If you run across a newer iPhone with Face ID where the ear speaker failed, causing no sound, you can replace the whole ear speaker flex, but you'll lose Face ID.
But you can just replace the speaker itself & retain Face ID.
Here's the super easy steps to do it. Only 2 solder joints!
Takes like 30 seconds at the most!
Enjoy the super quick video.

I called 8 or more local repair shops in my area of north Florida and only got 1 that said they would even attempt this repair for $95. I came across your video and was able to make this repair myself. Thank you very much!
Oh wow! That's crazy no one wanted to do it. Glad my video was helpful!
YOU MY FRIEND ARE A LEGEND 💯
Just done it all working.
Glad I could help!
In the case that the ear piece flex cable was damaged during disassembly, is there any possible way face ID could ever be made to work again? I am assuming not and just have an aftermarket ear piece+proximity sensor assembly in there now with no face ID. Sure is annoying due to the lack of a fingerprint sensor on the 11 pro max. Could the old sensors be transferred to the new flex cable?
Yes, you can swap the paired sensors to a new flex. I have video on my channel on that as well: ruclips.net/video/tqGauLtcMws/видео.html
Thanks mate! Very informative as usual. Keep it up.
Thanks mate!
You're my hero

You're welcome!
Hi, thanks for the video, can you share the buzzer pins at the flex conector for iPhone xs?
hi I have this problem with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. My earspeaker is not working. I want to get it fix but at the same time, I want my Face ID to still work. Do you do this kind of service? If so, do I mail you my phone ear speaker? I know how to take it out from my phone
Hi! Yes, we still offer this repair. If you'd like to send it in, you would need to send the whole phone so we can test everything including Face ID. Send us a message on our website: www.vccboardrepairs.com/contact
So I ended up changing the speaker on my iPhone 12 pro max and everything was successful. Here I am the next day and I'm having some severe battery drain issues. Can this be caused by only changing the speaker? I'm a little puzzled as to what could be causing battery drain. Thanks
Ah interesting. I've never seen that before.
@@VCCBoardRepairs It very well could be coincidental. Appreciate the comment. Very easy like you said.
Thanks
You're Welcome
There is an earpiece mode for the i2c i6 programmer. Can you just copy the code from the original and put the original code on the replacement instead of soldering?
No, it's not that easy, sadly.
There's a whole different process for that. I'll do a video about that soon.
I have a lot of experience with repairing iPhones but no soldering experience. Is it too risky ro try this myself?
Not at all. This is a pretty easy job. Give it a shot!
@@VCCBoardRepairs Thanks!
@@VCCBoardRepairs Just to let you know I ordered a cheap soldering iron from Amazon and managed to do this myself, thank you so much for your video!
@@dudds2323 nice man! Good work.
I need help to strange situation in iPhone 11. There is problem with ear speaker. Phone was hit on ground.. so I replace to used but original lcd. When I talk I hear sound, but this is low. So I clean net.. but this was clean.. and I replace new speaker with face id and etc.. and swap this all without soldering.. but audio is still the same. I check in options audio settings and I make this options off and on without result. What may happend ? :/
Great video I’m so annoyed all the time I had no clue it was that easy. 🤣
Glad it helped! I know lots of people see this as an advanced but it's not 😀
@@VCCBoardRepairs yeah I typically won’t mess with super microsoldering I don’t mind doing the bigger stuff HDMI ports larger Bga and charge ports. But when it comes to that really tiny crap no thanks. I just had no clue was this easy I thought it was much more difficult I didn’t know it was two spots all this time I’ve lost so much business 😅
what if is the cable but not the speaker how can u do it when itsthe cable
you have to swap sensor to a new flex
I just tried this myself and successfully completed it however i ended up melting a small part of the flex cable how do you stop this from happening?
Congrats on successfully swapping out the speaker! Perhaps you kept your soldering on there for too long?
With enough flux & solder on the tip of your iron, it should super quick to solder on.
What q tips are you using?
I use these now a days. They work great: amzn.to/3SoI8hL
Would a magnify glass be required to perform this task?
I would highly recommend using a microscope for this. Maybe you can get away with a magnifying glass.
But that's up to you & how confident you are in your abilities to solder
@@VCCBoardRepairs thank you for your quick response 🙏🏼
Does this repair work on a regular iphone 11?
Yes it does! Applies to all iPhones with Face ID
Bruh 😭 that’s not what happened with mine I just broke the cable, wish I could solder like you lmao
oh noo! It can still be fixed!
I have an ear speaker that needs to be replaced. Do you still do repairs?
Yes, we still are doing repairs. Send us a message with more details about your phone & we can see if that's something we can fix for you: www.vccboardrepairs.com/contact
Awesome!
Thanks!
Hey there! So I followed through all the steps, yet my the speaker of my phone still sounds a little blown out, it doesn't have that high quality sound that was hoping for. I was wondering if you could help find out what might be the issue. I've replaced the ear speaker and I was successfully able to solder the flux to the new one, yet it still sounds blown out. Thanks so much.
Check the mesh on the screen to see if it's dirty
@@VCCBoardRepairs Yeah I cleaned the mesh and everything, but it still sounds a little blown out.
What if you test the speaker without installing into the screen?
Will xs max speaker work with 11pro max?
No, they're different shapes
at what heat yours said --
My iron is always at 750F
is iphone xsmax front speaker same with iphone x?
No
aiit, thanks
@@VCCBoardRepairs
I’ve got some silver bearing rosin core solder, would that be okay to use for this? And also the only flux I can find around me is all in a tub not a syringe or a stick. How should I use something like that?
I'm not sure, I've never used that stuff. But it should work. It's just 2 solder joints
What temperature do you have your soldering iron for this repair?
My iron is always at 750F for everything
Thanks for your quick reply. Very helpful. Subscribed to your channel👍
Thank you!!
hey I have one big problem. I just disassembled my iPhone X and peeled the tape which hides the soldering points. Before replacing the earpiece, I cut an old aux cable and attached the positive and negative wires to the speaker. In fact I could perfectly hear the music which was playing on my Mac through the iPhone speaker. So it is definitively working well. There are also no visible damages on the whole speaker flex. As you have mentioned the Face ID involvement, Im aware that I can't replace the flex itself. What would you suggest? regards
if you damaged the flex, then you need to swap face id sensors to a new flex
Would this repair not work on the iPhone 12 models? The title only mentions X and 11 models
It works, just did yesterday.
@@eriknahmad3527 hopefully it will work for 12, 12, 14 and up models too
Yes it works for 12 series
13 and 14 don't have soldered speakers
@@VCCBoardRepairs so does thst mean that the ear speakers on 13 & 14 cannot be replaced without disabling faceid?
Correct
Do you repair other electronics?
Aircraft radio lites blew out
Unfortunately, we focus on iPhone & iPad repairs mostly. Aircraft Radio appears to be outside our scope of work.
Where do I get the 11 pro max speaker?
You'll need to harvest it from a working flex cable
Like this: amzn.to/3QsSRGc
@@VCCBoardRepairs just seen this reply. Thank you
do you do international repairs?
We currently only service USA customers.
@@VCCBoardRepairs even if pay post return??
Does the wire type matter?
What wire are you referring to?
Soldering wire
No, any soldering wire should work. I recommend using Kester 63/37 0.8mm Solder Wire: amzn.to/365b7AA
Sir i have brocket face id ribbon but face id ribbon still work bu ear speaker not working so haw can rapper it pleas make one video please sir
