Hello, I’ve got a bit of a situation here. I was trying to change my glass back using heat but ripped off flash and charging coil. Ordered new flex cables (flashlight and charging coil) and installed them. Assembled the phone and now it is stuck on charging screen when I connect charger. After 5 or more minutes it shows apple logo and goes back to charging screen. I did a bad job assembling it and it might have something to do with flex cables or what not(might have bent them accidentally or something). The question is what should I look for? What are most likely things that I messed up? I know that Its my own fault and hope that somebody will help me to figure out what exactly could be wrong. Thanks a lot to everyone!
Hey man, I have some ideas so I don’t want to say you’re completely SOL, but the use of heat could be bad if the motherboard was cooked while getting that back glass off, or while the coil was ripped out. Most shops if they repair the back glass with a modular part rather than a rear system usually use a laser to minimize the amount of heat that has to be used on the phone. That being said, if there is no motherboard damage I would start with the battery. My guess is that there is a power issue right now and that’s what I’m hoping for since that’s easier than motherboard damage. Inspect the connectors and check that the battery is seated properly. In the event that there is motherboard damage, which I would say is likely but hopefully not, I would take it to a microsoldering lab. If you have the equipment, you could take readings on the board or use a resin pen to try to find the fault that is likely drawing all the power from the phone (since it is attempting to boot); But in my experience chasing a fault down and replacing all the affected parts is kind of a pain and time consuming process. Let’s hope its not the latter option, but maybe try a new battery if somehow that was damaged somehow during the repair. Best of luck and keep us updated!
