    Just replaced the screen on my Mrs 11 pro and I slightly damaged the flex and have no sound, Just ordered a new speaker and flex from Amazon but now realise face id will never work again because the original flex is broken 😭
    I should have watched this video first, Appreciate the tips, will help for when I install the new one tomorrow 🤦‍♂️ 😆

      Retaining Face ID relies on that flex cable. Sorry to say but that ship has sailed

      @Stevo1728 my main vendor get a hold of them from time to time. But unless you are apple or participate in IRP there’s no way to program the new flex to the phone for Face ID to function

    I accidentally ripped that flex cable changing battery. It's half way ripped at the bend but still intact and my face id stops woking. Can I solder it back? Will it work?

      You’re better off soldering the flood illuminator to a new flex. Do you know how to solder

    So,just swap the ribbon and face id will remain working? Or I need to reprogram it?
    And need to solder only two points?

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  5 месяцев назад

      Replacing the flex results in the loss of Face ID. You need to retain the original flex. No amount of reprogramming will work. As for the ear speaker, yes it’s just 2 points
      If you tore your flex in half, there’s still a way to retain Face ID. Email me for a quote

    Yo bro, So my ear speaker itself is working (iphone xs), but I wanted to replace my screen, so i did that but by accident I tore the cable end from the earspeaker, can't I just solder these 2 together?

    • @repaironwheels

      It would be easier to de-solder the proximity sensor and solder it onto a new flex, than fixing the torn flex

    how would you be able to keep face id if you dont want to or know how to solder. would buying a new screen assembly with the ear speaker built in keep that function

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  6 месяцев назад

      make sure your speaker mesh isnt dirty or clogged up before moving onto the next steps: mail me the part and ill do it, or go to apple and pay 330 for a screen replacement. if you replace the flex you need a way to pair that flex to the new board, the only downside being apple is the only place that can pair a new flex to your board. and they will only do that when you pay them 330 for a screen replacement. there arent any self service options available for the 11 series (at least as of writing this comment

    if the speaker/flex cable assembly has already been replaced would uninstalling and soldering the new speaker onto the old cable solve the face id issue?
    as far as i know there was nothing wrong with the original cable. assembly was replaced solely due to speaker issues. found out after replacement that these parts were vital to face id function.

      @sontaiwatson8998 Face ID is paired to the flex. If you have an ear speaker issue and you swapped the flex you’d have a functional speaker but no Face ID. The solution is to solder a new speaker onto the original flex

      I just noticed this issue when replacing my 11 Pro screen. The replacement seals do a lousy job holding the screen down, the top left hand corner keeps popping up slightly, no matter what I try to remedy it (heat, clamping, ect.) Is there anywhere you know of that sells quality seals?

    I have 11 pro max that is boot looping after I fix the back glass , I used laser then some heat to remove remaining glass . It stops looping when I disconnect the ear speaker , is this the method I need to use if i buy a new ear speaker with flex ? Is it my flex that’s damaged from heat or the speaker module itself ?

      i dont understand the last message, for a simple screen replacement all you need to do is heat up the screen around the ear speaker and transplant the ear speaker flex assembly from one screen to the other. no soldering needed. the only time when soldering is needed is if just the ear speaker itself is damaged or non functional

      Practically speaking yes. There are shops that offer Microsoldering that can run jumpers to reconnect the 2 ends. But for what they would charge you are better off just selling your phon as is and buying another phone that has functional Face ID

    • @repaironwheels
      @repaironwheels  9 месяцев назад

      So apparently there’s a way to transfer the ambient light sensor and flood illumination to another flex and retain Face ID. So you still have that torn flex
