I have a friend phone who put his iphone 8 under water (swimming pool) for five mins, he switched the phone off to dry it, then brought to me I noticed there was something wrong with his screen backlight (flickering then stopped but left a spot looked like water) after 3 days the phone was working fine but suddenly screen dead, the phone is working fine and put another screen and is working, I'm just curious If replacing the backlight of the screen would bring it to light up again?

What action should be taking to save screens have been in water? obviously disconntact the battery and drying the board is first things to do but want to know how dry the screen probably.

Thanks.

I have replaced the display of my Iphone 8. After repair I get the following display error:

Is ist possible that I’ts an long screw damage?

Or could the problem have been caused by something else?

Connected to power, the phone vibrates and makes the chime sound. I even heard a notification come through. The home button also works.

The repair went smoothly apart from reassembling the cover that protects the display, battery and wifi cables. I got the screws mixed up (who knew orange and red were so similar?).

Is it possible this is the reason for my display not working?

I got iPhone 8 on iOS 14.3 .

I got weird issue with it - it is fine till I connect it to charger - when it become slow when wake up - then to make it “fast” again - I have to reset it (volume up down power button).

It is not liquid damaged - display is Apple BUT - it has “new” non Apple battery .

What do you think - is it battery problem or mother board or……. iOS 14 as other people complain about it

Thank You

The Button/touch ID assembly at the bottom of the phone is in perfect shape, no cuts, breaks bent parts, I never even touched that part but I checked anyways after. I even messed with the tension on the screws to see if that was the problem

The only thing that looks like a possibly is a extremely small tear on the the digitizer cable right before it connects to the logic board, although the tear is less than a mm into the cable and it doesn’t even look like it reached the traces.

This seems strange as disconnecting the display was the second step in all of this and I didn’t mess with anything in that area of the phone

Got an iPhone 8 with a broken male and female antenna connector. It’s on the USB charging flex. Need to know the exact name and specs so I can find where to order it from. I’ll prob get it from digikey if I know the exact specs.

Please refer to pics

I cant find it anywhere on the net and o ZXW that’s why I ask.

Hope someone knows. Thanks

P.S. I dont want to buy a a whole new flex. I’ve got about 10 good Charging flexes missing these so I want to fix them and use them that’s why I ask.

I replaced the battery myself about 2 weeks ago with one unbranded one I bought off eBay. It was working absolutely fine until 3 days ago. The battery still charges fine and shows 100% in capacity.

if I press the power button there is a slow response. If I press the volume up or down for more than a sec it will go all the way up or all the way done as though I have kept it pressed for quite a few seconds. If i try to take a screenshot the screen goes off rather than the screenshot. The phone randomly restarts several times a day.

I haven’t tried anything like restoring the software as I’m not sure whether this is a software issue or hardware. Any ideas on where I should start to look? Thanks

my iPhone 8 works perfectly in downtown, but if i travel a few miles outside downtown, the signal get weaker and eventually I have no signal at al. It’s not the simcard, because I have tried it on another phone and then it works great.

have any of you a idea of what the problem can be?

⟐ Commented februari 06, 2021 at 10:05 MST

I tried a hard reset (volume up volume down and then pressed the on/off button) the apple logo did not appear the the screen is unresponsive.

Tried plugging into my MacBook and connected to iTunes. The iTunes recognised it had a problem then said restore or update…I went for update… then waited and waited…nothing happened. I disconnected the phone and tried again to connect to iTunes but now the phone is not seen by iTunes at all.

I have tested if it will receive calls and it does, but I cannot answer the calls. Lastly the screen does not respond to any touch.

Anybody’s thought please…online help elsewhere is like a bad rabbit hole of articles which haven’t shone any light on the issue.

Thanks in advance

James
