iPhone 7: iPhone 7 top screen picture gets mirrored at bottom?

Wed, 04 Mar 2020 01:18:14 -0700

Hey, I got an customer that I have changed screen on there iphone 7.

After a while it started flickering and the bottom of the screen 'mirroring' half of the top portion (the part that shows Carrier, time, battery% etc) about 5-7mm of the top is also shown in The bottom.

Replaced the screen again and no problem, for a few weeks then that one started doing the same.

Havent seen this problem before so woundering if anyone of you guys know the solution?

iPhone 7: What's the secret to the LCD shield screws?

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 16:12:34 -0700

I can't get the screws on the sides of the LCD shield off without stripping them. I've tried JIS000 and 00 and still can't get them out without stripping them. Are they 0000? Is there some secret combination I'm missing?

As penance for my ignorance, here are some pics of a phone:

iPhone 7: Home button dead after battery replacement

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 06:30:12 -0700

Hi, I replaced the battery of my iPhone 7 which worked fine. But now the homebutton is completely dead. No touch id no button functionality. I already disconnected all 3 screen cables and the home button connector on the screen assembly but no luck. Still not working. Hard reset via power and volumen down button also didnt help. No errors from iOS did pop up. It is running iOS 14.4. Any further ideas? Thanks.

iPhone 7: iPhone 7 boot loop - Panic log says "Possible Issue Front Camera Flex"

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 11:12:31 -0700

My iPhone 7 is stuck in a boot loop, I managed to read its panic logs using iDevice Panic Log Analyzer, the possible issue found was "Front Camera Flex U3301/J4503"

Here you can find the panic log for reference

Do you think it's something repairable? Maybe changing the fron camera can help solve the problem?

iPhone's running iOS 15.6.1

Thanks a lot

Hello ifixit community! I am new to repairing and today I dropped my iphone and it slid across a concrete floor.

I was wondering if there is anyway to minimize the damage and to cover up some of the scuffs and scratches. I provided an image of the phone. Much appreciated!

iPhone 7: iPhone 7 Home Button Screws?

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 20:44:28 -0700

I have had to purchase a replacement bracket and screws for the home button on the iPhone 7.

On the iFixit guide, it says that there are 3x 1.3mm screws and 1x 1.1mm screw. However, with the parts I’ve purchased, I can’t distinguish between the different sized screws. And no, I do not have any callipers to measure the screws.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

iPhone 7: Touch ID and home button not working

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 13:50:26 -0700

I have just completed a LCD Display replacement on an iPhone 7. I successfully transferred over the original home button. I have checked both the button, and the connector, and there are no damages to either. Even after this repair, this is still not working. I have also taken this to a well known mobile repair shop to see if they could diagnose the issue for me, and they are in the same boat as I am. Has anyone else come across this, and if so, how did you get around this?

iPhone 7: iPhone 7 home button is too sensitive after screen replacement.

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 17:42:37 -0700

Hi, I recently replaced a screen on an iPhone 7 and every went smoothly. I have been doing screen replacements for years now and always take my time. Anyway, this was my first time doing an iPhone 7 and when I plugged the screen in to test it everything worked fine except for the home button. All it took to register a home button press was just resting my finger on the button. If I were to actually go about pressing it like normal it would register about 10 clicks and would vibrate a lot more. I'm not really sure where to go from here.

iPhone 7: How to remove blacklist?

Thu, 02 Jan 2020 08:10:09 -0700

A relative of mine recently purchased an iPhone 7 (AT&T) online. Upon the arrival of the "not blacklisted/stolen" phone, they later found out that it was reported stolen by what I can only assume was the seller in this case. So how does one actually go about removing the blacklisted/stolen status off this phone?

iPhone 7: Not charging after replacing lightning port replacement

I replaced both the battery and the lightning port connector and now the phone will not charge. It turned on and showed 1%. I then tried it with another battery and the original charging port. Nothing worked. The origional charging port worked, i just had to move the cable to a certain size.

iPhone 7: No service, can't activate

Mon, 06 May 2019 23:41:10 -0700

I bought an iPhone 7 cheap knowing that it didnt read sim cards. Due to that, I can't activate it, so cant even get into it.. have plugged into iTunes and tried updating and restoring, neither worked.

I'm pretty stumped on this one, what can I do to at least get into it? Is there a way to get it to read sim cards? It's not an eligible model to send to apple either. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have read through multiple forums and articles and comments, nothing seems to help.

iPhone 7: No audio recording, voice memo recording button unavailable.

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 22:08:06 -0700

Customer claims that pre-iOS 12 the device still wouldn’t record audio, and updated in hopes of fixing it. Still no dice, any ideas?

The phone records video just fine, but there is a complete lack of audio. (I tried using third party apps, the external mic on headphones, the whole sha-bang.) As for voice memos, the record option is quite simply grayed out and unavailable. Is it a chip issue on the board, or?

iPhone 7: iPhone 7 No front camera plastic holder/bracket/clip in replacement

Tue, 29 May 2018 12:53:50 -0700

Hi all,

I'm currently in the process of replacing the screen on my Iphone 7. Starting to reassemble the front camera and noticed that the replacement screen doesn't have the two plastic holders/brackets for the front camera and proximity sensor (see link) like my old screen does. Is this going to be a problem? Is it possible to transfer them over from the old screen (they seem to be stuck on there pretty tightly...)? If I have to purchase these how do I attach them, would an adhesive of some kind be necessary?

Thanks in advance

In case you don't know which parts I mean!
