Hi,

I’ve replaced the screen on an iphone 7, but I am now getting a light blue spot on the bottom left side where the taptic engine is. Any idea why this may be?

The battery has not been replaced or realigned as it is the original battery.

So she reconnected to that same speaker Bluetooth thing and when she disconnected it started working again when she plugged her headphones in they worked

Update (07/14/2020)

I recently was playing music on that Bluetooth device and now my iPhone 7 isn’t working when I have my headphones plugged in no sound however it’s coming from my phone speaker and when I’m making a call or receiving no sound and when I’m making videos there’s no sound and I’ve tried connecting my phone to it and disconnecting but it hasn’t worked and I’ve tried restarting and still no sound from my headphones and I’ve used different jacks and different headphones

Today I tried to repair my iPhone 7 screen, but unfortunately I ripped my home button cable by accident but the screen I ordered didn’t come with a Touch ID connection. But my home button didn’t want “click” after turning on the Phone. I just wanted the home button to click not the Touch ID. Do I need to order another home button?

It is from an iPhone 7 and it’s from the Volume Control Button. On the inside, there’s a metal clip attached to the housing and this “spring clip” goes in it to help guide the volume up/down.

I have googled the whole internet… and not knowing what it’s actually called is hindering me a bit.

I did a battery replacement about a week ago and tried to calibrate my phone. I was running benchmarks to drain the battery when it suddenly went from 1% to 85%. Then I continued draining the battery until it suddenly turned off. After a couple of days, I tried charging it, and here I am, with an iPhone stuck at the battery charging symbol. The iPhone works with another battery, though. What should I do?

I had an issue with my iPhone a few weeks ago which happened while I was texting with my iPhone then suddenly the device overheated from one particular spot which was from the backside of the phone under the camera’s lens within half an inch to be specific. I noticed that the battery percentage is dropping down fast so I immediately turned the phone off, the phone kept heating while it’s turned off I placed it under the AC to cool it down then I tried to switch it on and the phone has drained all the battery, I charged my phone then I turned it on again and it worked normally for a few seconds and after that, it overheated again and the same thing happened to the battery as it drained out rapidly but this time it never turned back on. I tried to switch the phone on, connect the phone to my mac, did all the push and hold buttons methods on the web and the phone refuses to turn on, or give any sign that it's a life.

I lift the phone for a few weeks and now I’m thinking of fixing my iPhone but what I'm concerned about is what are the parts that need replacement.

I hope if someone can make sense of what happened with me and tell me what are the parts that I need to buy, and perhaps what possibly could cause this to happen as my iPhone was always in a tank case (a heavy-duty one), Also I don’t remember dropping my phone or exposing it to any liquid in the past days before that incident occurred.

When I got the package, I started to watch videos on how to replace a shattered iPhone 7 screen. Before I started , in the video it said to turn the device off. Which I wasn’t able to do since my screen is completely shattered. I then didn’t turn off the device , and started doing all the other stuff told in the video. I carefully watched the whole video & did it perfectly. But when I tried to turn on the phone. Nothing happened, the display was completely off. But when I put a sim in it. And tried calling from another phone. The speakers worked , as well as the haptic engine worked. I watched videos on “what to do when your display downstairs work”. I tried all of those but nothing worked. Please I want a solution for how to turn on my display. THANK YOU

I knew the screen wasn't sitting in tightly so I tried to apply waterproofing adhesive TWICE and failed both times resulting in my screen breaking internally, so no cracks on surface only on the inside, and tearing one of the screen connectors which brings me to the 3rd screen I'll have to buy. Anyone have some tips on how I could manage to apply the adhesive properly or have any alternatives? One of my other issues is that the adhesive never sticks.
