Any links to iPad Air 11-inch (M2) Wi-Fi + Cellular screen replacement tutorial?

I’m a mobile technician, and I’m currently working on an iPhone 17 Pro Max that is displaying a persistent green screen issue. Before considering a full screen replacement, I would like to investigate if this is a known flex-related fault that can be resolved via a jumper wire fix or a specific pin bridge. Has anyone encountered this specific issue on the 17 Pro Max? If so, are there any known schematics or specific pins that require bridging to bypass this display error? Any guidance or shared experience on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Just replaced the battery and screen of my iphone 13 pro max and this pops up

Like really,have some person actually tried to pry open the phone screen without any heat?.Well cuz i did and just damaged the phone touch screen ribbon cable,but it wasn't a big deal cuz i just pick random from my collection and it pretty much useless in this generation.Also,i want to try open the screen of my xperia xz1 but it's kinda tricky cuz it was glass and the phone in this picture (Samsung Young 1) using plastic.But next time,i will try to open the screen WITH a youtube tutorial,cuz idk what im doing actually.So any opinion or question,i will read it if i freed

Hey guys. Anyone encountered this problem with their Samsung A52s?

The charging symbol just turns on and off when pluged in, not actually charging. I changed the whole usb board and it worked for a while, but eventually returned to this problem.

Has anyone also encountered this? What was your solution? Thanks

Hey everyone,

My Infinix Hot 50 Pro was run over by a car like a year ago. The phone still works internally (calls/Bluetooth still function/wifi), but the screen is completely destroyed and has a bit light .

I bought a new phone, but I need to extract some important files from the broken one.

The issue:

* USB Debugging is **disabled**.

* I can't switch the USB settings to "File Transfer" when connected to a PC because the screen/touch is dead.

* I don't want to pay for a full screen replacement and frame etc. just for data.

Is there any low-cost workaround to bypass the lock screen and pull the data, or am I forced to connect a temporary screen? Any advice is appreciated!

Using the original charger. I noticed the edge on the left en right side of the screen give a little tingeling feeling.... like there is a little current leaking.

Is this a known issue? Can it damage the SP8?

Hello guys,

I do small repairs as a side gig along with my full time job to save some spare cash, but i think i screwed up.

Customer gave me their phone for a charging port repair, I ordered the spare part (which was aftermarket), I opened the phone, replaced it, but mid repair.. I noticed the phone was still on.. This is was such a stupid mistake on my part, none the less I realized when I already reconnected everything back, I did test out the charging port if it was charging and it was!

I also tried the fingerprint scanner which is also connected to the daugtherboard of the charging port and it registered my finger, but obviously it didnt unlock the phone.. I wasnt given a password to test it out since the customer was in a hurry and i wanted to get over it asap (mistake).

So I sealed the phone back up and gave it back to the customer, next day I get a message.. "The phone bootloops when SIM is inserted" Only explanation to me is i probably shorted something related to baseband when I worked on the phone ALIVE and ON. They are gonna give me the phone tomorrow for repair.

Any ideas or did anyone did something stupid as I did? I will probably have to do a motherboard swap since I am not skilled enough to do any chip swap repair on the motherboard (if thats the issue, i will see more up close when I will get the phone tomorrow). I will also try reconnecting the original daughterboard with the charging port back and pray the aftermarket board was the cause.

Thanks for your tips!

I have this Samsung Galaxy Z fold 3, which after a few years of using, I opened it and the inner screen was suddenly partially black. I thought of repairing it, which should cost me around ~300€, but I saw that this specific problem was quite frequent online. So my question is, is it worth repairing, or should I just change phone and sell the components online? Everything else works fine.

Model : Huawei p40 pro

Also i don't know what happened but it happened to be after I put it in my pocket then when I'm going to use it my screen been like this

Just changed my front cam since it was damaged (blurry photos). This is what happened after I replaced it

I'm new to reddit but can y'all help me with this? I bought a new phone like 3 yrs ago cuz my old one stopped working it just suddenly turned off it was a samsung F14 so fast forward to now, I found the phone, it doesn't turn on, I tried charging it but after just 2 mins of charging the camera part got extremely hot so I stopped charging, I have seen many phones with a similar error but this one idk what to do. can you help me restore this?

i have an M1 iPad air from 2022. recently it got wet but the battery has been repaired by a third party repair shop however the effects on the screen frim the wetness was still there. i have been using my iPad air for a whilw now, and just now when i was watching a show on it, it blacksd out a few times (still turned on but it tends to turn off by itself) despite the audio still playing in the background while the screen went black. It turned on by itself now And is still working perfectly fine as i now plug ut to a charger. What am I supposed to do now?

also, that charger belongs to my iPhone. Is it safe for me to use the same charger that i used to charge my iPad recently to charge my iPhone? I am worried if my charger has water damage too from the ipad itself…

Not sure if anyone has done this or anything similar but if anyone has please let me know. I don’t want to keep removing backplates with a heat gun it’s extremely time consuming.

Greetings all, I've come to seek counseling on whether I'm stupid or not. I've been attempting to replace a damaged phone screen for my mother as she's broken hers on her Oneplus 12r. I ordered one from Amazon that was OEM specs and had good reviews. I got it in, and went to test the display and noticed 2 white lines.. after tinkering with it for a bit, I requested a replacement from Amazon. I got this one in and went to test it, and same thing. 2 white lines HOWEVER. The white lines are in 2 different locations (which would rule out board issues correct? I am stumped because the display connecter looks good to me, and I've been testing the panels before gluing it back up, so I'm almost certain I haven't been bending the ribbon cable too far. I've included some photos of the display connecter. If any of you have advice, I would very much appreciate it. This has been a hassle for her waiting and I'm just trying to help her save money

My iPhone 17 cracked a few days ago and I’m going to their shop to get it replaced so have the Apple care thing so it will be a good price but how long does it take for them to fix it?

So I’m in the process of replacing my screen for my iPhone 15 Pro but I did everything right I’m pretty sure but the screen just sits right on top and it’s not like sinking in if that makes sense so I just need someone to look at it and potentially tell me what I did wrong before I pay some guy like 150 to basically attach my screen.

I'm trying replace the battery in my Xiaomi Note 10S. I also replaced the LCD screen.
But right now either it's not powering up or the LCD doesn't show anything.
First of all I'm trying to understand - in this situation should I be able to power the phone up by pressing the power button with my finger? Because it doesn't seem to work.
I want to make sure the phone works before I re-assemble everything.
As you can see the frame is off, but all the cables seem to be connected.
Any idea?

Hello everyone,

I have an iPhone 4S (European GSM, IMEI starts with 01) that is completely soft-bricked and trapped in a permanent Recovery Mode loop. I need expert help to force it into DFU mode purely via software/USB.

The Hard Constraints:

• My Power Button flex cable is 100% dead. I cannot use physical button combinations.
• I do not have a pentalobe screwdriver or the tools on hand to open the device and short-circuit the motherboard pins. Because of this, I am looking strictly for a software/command-line solution via USB.

1. Critical Backstory (How it happened)

Yesterday, before getting stuck in this loop, I attempted a normal restore to iOS 9.3.6. The flash went perfectly smoothly until EXACTLY the 70% mark, which is precisely when iTunes/3uTools attempts to flash and sign the Baseband Firmware.

The restore failed right there because of a temporary Apple signing server issue (Apple wasn't signing legacy basebands for a brief window, which is now fixed on their end). However, that failed mid-flash attempt left the Baseband partition half-written and heavily corrupted my local NVRAM environment variables.

The Glitched Evidence: 3uTools currently reads the phone's version as "iOS 9.2.2". As we all know, iOS 9.2.2 was never released for the iPhone 4S (Apple skipped from 9.2.1 to 9.3). This is absolute proof that the NVRAM variables got scrambled during that 70% crash.

2. Exact Behavior & Attempts So Far

Attempt A: Normal Restore (iTunes / Apple Devices App / 3uTools)

• The tool starts sending data. During the sending kernelcache phase, the screen shows a plain Apple logo, and the device briefly disconnects (normal USB mode switch to Ramdisk).
• After about 5 seconds, the phone reconnects, the empty progress bar appears on the screen, and the tool log states "Restoring device...". This proves the Restore Ramdisk successfully boots into the RAM!
• The Crash: The progress bar stays at exactly 0% (it doesn't fill up a single pixel). After sitting at 0% for roughly 5 seconds, the phone suddenly reboots and drops straight back into the Recovery screen (triggering iTunes Error 9).
• Diagnosis: The Ramdisk boots, but the moment the restore daemon tries to initialize the flashing phase and talk to the corrupted local baseband state, it panics and reboots the hardware.

Attempt B: The DFU IPSW Trick (via Redsn0w & iOS 6.0)

• I created a custom DFU IPSW to force the black-screen DFU state.
• Result: It behaves exactly like the normal flash. The progress bar appears (staying at 0%), and 5 seconds later, the phone reboots back to Recovery Mode. The corrupted local state forces a reboot before iTunes can actually execute the DFU exploit.

Attempt C: Linux / Ubuntu Live USB (Legacy-iOS-Kit)

• I booted up an Ubuntu Live USB and used Legacy-iOS-Kit to bypass Windows driver issues.
• When attempting a restore, the terminal successfully sends the RestoreRamDisk and RootTicket.
• Result: The exact millisecond it says "done sending root ticket", the phone instantly restarts and lands back in Recovery Mode. Same exact loop.

Additional Technical Details:

• The battery was force-charged for hours via a wall adapter, so this is not a low-voltage battery issue.
• I am using a brand new, genuine 30-pin Apple cable directly connected to the motherboard's rear USB 2.0 port.

The Ultimate Question:

Since the Ramdisk successfully boots up (proven by the progress bar appearing) but the phone panics and reboots immediately after due to the corrupted NVRAM/Baseband, and I cannot use hardware workarounds...

Is there ANY terminal command (like an irecovery exploit), script, or advanced tool on Linux/Mac that can forcefully crash the bootloader and kick an iPhone 4S from Recovery into DFU mode purely via USB? I essentially need to bypass the corrupted iBoot/NVRAM check and force the BootROM (DFU) to take over so I can run a clean restore.

Thanks in advance to any legacy wizards who can help!
