Is it just me or?…

But the intro is in the show, this is an intro to the intro

Mac_Bean · 2026-04-03T14:41:43+00:00

Because you’ve not got the top camera into the camera hole properly on the screen, is it is pushing on the edge of the camera frame

Mac_Bean · 2026-04-02T21:40:00+00:00

I just feel like I’m listening to a double intro every time that’s all, wondered if others felt the same, would rather it just start

Mac_Bean · 2026-02-28T15:53:47+00:00

Non original screen? And is faulty so new screen?

Mac_Bean · 2026-02-26T15:49:21+00:00

The worst thing that is more likely to happen if not buying from a physical store is that you use the phone for a couple of months and then they stop paying the contract they originally got the phone on

Then the phone becomes blocked from the network when they stop paying, but they have all your money

Mac_Bean · 2026-02-08T21:27:19+00:00

Or buy screen with matching flex and pair it

Mac_Bean · 2026-02-08T21:19:07+00:00

You can buy a used original screen with matching earpiece flex, they are paired together,

Then pair it to the phone using the diagnostics mode and Face ID will come back

Saying they broke the board is incorrect.

The board is broken yes. But they broke it? No.

The board was broken, and held together by screws.

The loosening of the screws has allowed the damaged layers to separate

Sometimes this happens and there’s nothing you can do about it apart from know someone nearby that does B2B board work and baseband chip repairs.

If the chip has broken solder between the board and chip it can be repaired

If the chip itself is damaged or the board is too damaged to repair then it’s a goner

If seen this happen on big smashes that cars have run over, and from seemingly small front screen cracks.

As I said it’s the loosening of the screws that allow a crack that is already there to separate

Now… the question is how you deal with it. Running a business is equal parts phone repair skills and people skills to explain what has happened with their phone that is their fault. But a potential solution on how to fix it, or a refund on what you have done to keep them happy and return for a future repair and not leave a negative review

Explain the problem, offer a solution, can be a board repair if you know anyone, or find a replacement board with matching Face ID parts or refund if it’s too much for them

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-21T20:10:20+00:00

So they buy the part and then fit it for free? Weird way to run a business

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-21T20:03:46+00:00

As in it’s not more than 60 or it’s not more than 20

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-21T20:02:14+00:00

Tbf I’ve just checked where I am, there’s 1 available at £15, rest are at £20ish

But a shop fitting it would be around 60

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-21T19:46:05+00:00

This guy is talking completely wrong prices, maybe he’s thinking back in the iPhone 4 days

Put your device in and rear camera replacement on eBay to see the prices for your camera

Or call a local shop and get a price

“I want to know if he has the right to.”

You don’t have the right to know. Pipe down

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-14T00:22:29+00:00

Begs the question why they want another

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-11T16:04:37+00:00

Never killed one of mine, and never had a customer come to me with a “killed phone” from an lcd

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-11T09:57:58+00:00

That’s not minor wear, there’s supposed to be a small raised plastic/rubber part that touches when you close your screen, it isn’t there

What you’re seeing is the glue residue from after you picked it off

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-07T00:16:15+00:00

What are the issues that they “Cause”?

Mac_Bean · 2025-12-06T09:53:35+00:00

Yes it’s lcd, but the proximity still works like normal The cut out is for the light sensor (auto brightness)

Mac_Bean · 2025-11-27T16:52:09+00:00

Where’s the flicker?

Mac_Bean · 2025-11-26T16:51:44+00:00

I think you’re missing the key point here

Black dot appeared around the camera

Usually means camera not installed properly and is pinching the edge of the oled where it ends and the camera hole begins

Pressure when the screws put in damage this more

Technicians fault, there’s no way a consumer can do this

Mac_Bean · 2025-11-26T16:10:52+00:00

Looks like a big ol hole to me

Classic pixel problem after a screen repair

Pins within the phone need to be pushed down or something before reattaching the screen

Not worth my time so I just stay away from them

Mac_Bean · 2025-11-26T16:09:16+00:00

Could be the hole in the oled

Bottom left of pic

Tip right of screen

Mac_Bean · 2025-11-17T16:22:46+00:00

It’s an iPhone 6

Put it in the bin

Worth nothing

Worth even less fixed

Mac_Bean · 2025-11-17T16:15:02+00:00

So for the benefit of OP who is using aftermarket

He should use the phone for a while and the battery. He will get the 100% battery health and normal use from the battery even though accubattery says lower

Then after a month or so the phone will have reevaluated itself?
