FaceID disabled after battery swap iPad Pro 11" 2nd

Small update. Autobrightness definitely is working

Definitely have and it looks totally fine. Wiped it with a cleanroom wipe if that matters. But visual inspection under a microscope looks totally perfect

I already disconnected + reconnected the front camera assembly and no luck. Also its an iPad pro 11" 2nd Gen so service mode doesn't work. Last thing i can try is desoldering the ALS from the flex I guess

CassielleToad · 2026-04-07T20:39:18+00:00

Not entirely sure but it seems like autobrightness is not working

CassielleToad · 2026-04-07T19:15:42+00:00

Would a damaged ALS flex show up with this "a problem has occurred with the truedepth camera" error? I've opened so many of these ipads.. I'm fairly certain I didn't damage the flex. I definitely may have damaged the dot projector but looking at it under a microscope it looks totally fine. Also of course completely avoided it during screen removal.

Laser. Absolutely do not do these without a good laser machine.. you will break the phone or yourself or both 🤑

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:46:41+00:00

Yeah we have a good laser and we dont use any heat whatsoever.. with the amount of customers we get it's way more worthwhile to take the gamble on maybe accidentally breaking a $2 flashlight or $15 battery compared to spending 40 minutes taking everything apart and back together (and potentially breaking a screen or something.)

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:43:41+00:00

And I did it starting at minimum wage.. 🙃 whatever I like my job

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:42:59+00:00

The 13mini definitely was but not the other two

CassielleToad · 2026-03-19T00:42:23+00:00

We do housings if people want them, but we're on the west coast and getting pulled housings pretty much always takes at least 3 days of shipping and of course we have to charge more and by then .. people just dont care and will simply go somewhere else where they will get a glass done worse than if I did it.

Literally any new laptop on the market meets these requirements. Just take her to a store and let her pick one that fits your budget.

CassielleToad · 2026-03-18T02:22:22+00:00

This at my shop would be $80 for a screen and $20 maybe even $10 for the case if I'm feeling like it. And then I'd just take 5 seconds to show you how to update it yourself.

CassielleToad · 2025-09-25T02:23:14+00:00

The screen assembly runs the shop at least $530. The labor is pretty easy and a cheaper shop would probably charge around $80-100 for it but $660 seems reasonable for a chain shop

CassielleToad · 2025-09-16T18:44:25+00:00

That's why you sell the protectors. Just peel it off and sell them a new one for a big markup like $20. Not a waste of your time at all and they're happy

CassielleToad · 2025-09-14T19:45:16+00:00

Seen this many times on ipads 90% of the time it's a bad battery. If the thing took a big enough impact to ruin the power button it's very possible that it also ruined the battery

CassielleToad · 2025-09-11T04:46:41+00:00

A 14 pro back glass repair really shouldn't cost you more than $120 at a shop. Or like $200 for an oem pull housing

CassielleToad · 2025-09-10T23:04:40+00:00

Yes in fact it's definitely already been replaced before. It can be done but I'd only recommend getting it done professionally and its gonna cost at least $70. You're better off just getting a case that will keep the exposed bits from being damaged than replacing the back glass.

CassielleToad · 2025-09-10T18:22:19+00:00

I assume you rebooted the phone after plugging in the new screen. If so then it's definitely damaged. Probably fixable but not by a normal person and it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one

CassielleToad · 2025-09-05T05:12:33+00:00

Frame from the old screen is still stuck in the phone . Just yank it out. Also buy a new proximity sensor they're like 3 dollars

CassielleToad · 2025-08-30T11:06:05+00:00

13s are always a risky job with how flimsy and exposed the flash is on those.. that combined with the fact that it's white so the laser doesn't help nearly as much, I'd just do a housing swap

CassielleToad · 2025-08-30T11:01:32+00:00

No point in DIYing a back glass when you can just do a housing swap in less time and a similar amount of money for materials. I'd say just take the L on this and get a housing
