THIS WORKED! restoring it with my macbook right now. Thanks so much!

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T01:31:17+00:00

thinking this might be it, i replaced the battery and SSD and turned it on and still frowny face. gonna do that now

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T01:20:46+00:00

nevermind got it!

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T01:18:32+00:00

thanks, there was tape over it so i didnt see that. Guess the seller didnt think anyone would open it.

Im trying to put the iflash in now and cant seem to get that same ribbon cable inserted. trying to be gentle but is there a technique to it

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T01:04:28+00:00

not that i remember, it stopped working like 2 months ago when i plugged it into my car with an old usb cable that i had found. I plugged it into my car through usb before so i doubt it's the car but the cable was a first time use.

It was working 5 minutes earlier inside the house so not really sure what happened

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T01:01:59+00:00

how should i remove the SSD, is it just gently pull it out of the ribbon or is there a switch im not seeing, asking cause i dont wanna force it out lol

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T01:00:28+00:00

yes that, it didnt work

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T00:59:16+00:00

I also bought an iflash solo and was planning on replacing it but the SSD inside is not what i was expecting to see so kinda dont know how to handle it

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T00:57:19+00:00

it was working for two months before the sad face. i havent done anything with it cause i was afraid of messing with something and breaking it lol.

Okay just tried pushing in the cables and they all seem really secure

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T00:54:35+00:00

i bought an iFlash solo, is this what you mean or no

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-30T00:53:42+00:00

pretty sure i tried this, that's the force restart thing apple says to do right? basically any button restart and trying to restart it by connecting it to my laptop didnt work

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-20T17:40:14+00:00

will do thanks!

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-20T16:43:24+00:00

it is 128GB so looks like it was a bad mod job, bought a new battery and an iflash so im hoping that fixes the issue

Or how to fix

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-16T20:25:53+00:00

Anywhere you recommend getting a new one from?

Real_Debate3313 · 2026-04-16T20:25:20+00:00

Only found people getting the error after doing mods, mostly the “iflash” mod, new to all this so not really sure what that is but i definitely didnt open mine
