I’m not sure as this repair was for a ‘friend of a friend’. I used that B-7000 import stuff. Does anyone know how to source the adhesive that Apple uses or what that stuff is?
Thank you williamsjond I’m glad I could help!
Anagazo,
Glad that you found an alternate technique that works for you. I wouldn’t call the heat ineffective and I recommend installing a new force touch gasket regardless after opening up the glued surface like this display.
Hey Mason,
I think there are some articles that identify them but if you take a look at the Series 3 teardown, the chip mounted at the top middle of the inside of the display is the force touch controller, so my educated guess would be that the middle ribbon cable is responsible for touch. I had the same problem and reseated all of them again and it worked after that.
I’m able to power on my camera board (I have it plugged into the PC USB), it triggers the computer USB storage but the PC will not mount the card storage. With it plugged into the PC USB port the battery charging voltage is 4.1VDC. I’m not sure that I ever used the parking mode so I don’t know how log it takes to deplete the battery but I don’t think it stays charged very long.
Hey Adam,
Good question. I pulled mine just now to see and you’re right, it is a pad with adhesive holding it down. Be careful lifting it as there is a tiny circuit board on the pad end. Unfortunately I have had the replacement camera fail in exactly the same way and I contacted their support but they will not replace this second defective one. These unfortunately are not reliable. Post back if you are able to get yours working with a replacement battery. I think the battery might only be used for the parking mode but I’m not sure. My voltage measurement on my battery is zero with this installed. For grins I may try to plug it in and then check the voltage across the connection on the circuit board. Good luck.
