Chosen Solution
Hey everyone. I’m a tad freaking out right now… I just replaced a screen for someone on the iPhone 7 plus and after doing that, there is no sound, and the phone is randomly rebooting. I checked all the connections and everything carefully and cannot find the problem. I read a lot about the proximity sensor which everything is where it needs to be, but I have no clue and am freaking out! What should I try??
I wanted to update you all that I installed the new flex cable and everything is working now! The stupid proximity sensor gave me fits since the replacement screen didn’t have the clear plastic pieces installed and aligned so I had to scratch a bit of the tint off that area and use a flashlight until I could see the sensors and then tighten everything down. What a pain! So, for anyone who is thinking of replacing a digitizer for this phone and never done it before…………….buy a full assembly or purchase a flex cable along with a digitizer only replacement, just in case! Thanks everyone for all the help. Y’all are awesome!
Alright first just relax. I know these are high pressure situations, but you got this! And we’re here to help. This is not the first time this has happened to an iPhone 7 Plus. Extremely common. Keep in mind, to save your sanity, that you should be able to use the broken original assembly, and things should go back to normal. The problem is likely in the part that you’re using. This has happened to me. A part that will work on the next phone, won’t work on this one. It’s kind of like an organ transplant, that the patient is rejecting. If you can’t sources other part that works. Then put the oldie back, apologize to customer, and soldier on. This isn’t your last repair. If you need anything else. Come back. We’ll be here to help
