Hi all, I recently started my first iphone 6s (UK) repair but have hit a brick wall and was hoping someone more knowledgeable on here could help me?
I had to remove the mainboard to replace the entire flex cable as the silent button was no longer working - to my surprise i think i have completed the job about 90% as the after i replaced everything i managed to get the phone working again.
Although i still have a couple of problems i can only switch the phone on by plugging the charging cable into the phone - for some reason the power button won’t work either will the volume up and down buttons but strangely the silent button does work. I order another flex cable as i though the one i purchased 1st maybe faultly but i have the same issues with the new cable. To test the new cable i didnt completely remove the mainboard again i just unplugged the 1st flex cable and plugged the new one in to test it.
Does anyone have any experience of a similar problem - could it be an earthing issue? or something else?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Kind regards Nuub
You’ve taken the proper steps to date. Yes, it could be a parts quality problem. However, I would closely inspect the connector on the logic board and the parts in the surrounding area. Magnification will help. Look for debris in the connector or physical damage which could impede a good connection. Also look to see if any surrounding components may have been damaged or dislodged. If everything looks good, then try another flex.
