The original screen is completely broken and has really bad ghost touch issues.

I managed to get a display working using an HDMI-to-Lightning adapter, but the ghost touches are so extreme that I can’t get through the Repair Assistant at all.

I tried working around it by connecting a USB hub. I went from HDMI to Lightning, then used a Lightning-to-USB-C adapter into a USB hub, hoping I could connect a mouse since the touchscreen is basically unusable.

But for some reason, the HDMI display stops working somewhere between the Lightning and USB-C connection.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Or is there another way to get past the Repair Assistant when using an aftermarket OLED screen?

I bought a replacement battery for my iPhone se after the phone would not stay on for more then 3 minutes at a time then restarting. I bought a new battery and replaced it but the same issue continues. and I believe it is a "failsafe" for the battery. and the only way I found was to completely erase the data on the phone and reinstall it. only problem I have to turn a security measure off and for it to do that the phone has to be on for a full hour. which I cannot do. so is there a nother way for me to fix it like a PC app or something to help delete it or a nother way for me to fix the restarting? or am I out of luck?

I’m in a huge bind. My iPhone XS screen glitched (green/RGB lines) and went black. I have a school project that i spent weeks to make. It is due tomorrow that is NOT backed up to the cloud

The Problem:

Screen: Total black.

• Buttons: Both Volume Up and Volume Down are physically broken/not working, so I can't Force Restart.

• PC Connection: When I plug it into my PC, the phone doesn’t make the "charging" chime, but it does do the chime when charging.

• Status: The phone is definitely "on" because it chimes and vibrates.

What I need help with:

1. How can I force a reboot without volume buttons and without the PC recognizing it?
2. Is there any way to bypass the "Trust This Computer" prompt blindly so I can mirror the screen to my PC?
3. Are there any "emergency" DIY tricks (pressure points, temperature) to get an XS OLED to show an image for just long enough to export a file?

I'm a student and I have to submit this project tomorrow morning. Any "hacky" or advanced fixes are welcome.

hello experts.

my ipad air 4 was handed in for repair for a usb issue.

the repair place notified me that a small damage to the corner might cause an issue in 5% of cases.

after the repair, the iPad now had a vertical damage from top to bottom, but not the corner.

the shop informed me that is is due to the screen already being weakened from the corner issue, and I would have to pay for the screen aswell.

what do you guys think, is this real or them trying to get out of having destroyed it?

sooo i bought it back in 2021 used

was going great suddenly battery went 1% and didn't change

spend 70$ to get it working in 2022

same happened in 2023

2024

2025

everytime 70$ i have to spend

now again it happens

i was using it and it suddenly went 1% and didn't charge

it get hot under the camera

what i should do

I am repairing a water-damaged Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra motherboard. After removing the rear shield can, I found corrosion and burn marks on almost all IC pads except one. I removed all ICs on the back side, re-balled them, and replaced a faulty IC. When I tried to inject power, there was an immediate short and a component overheated. Even after removing that IC, the same pad area continued to heat up. So I separated the board layers and found that an inductor next to the camera PMIC measured 0 ohms on both sides. I replaced the camera PMIC, and that issue was resolved. After reassembling the layers (using a donor upper board), I powered it again and found the same overheating issue. Reballing the IC at that hotspot fixed the short (VBATTERY_SR line recovered from 0 ohms to normal). Now, when I inject power, there is no visible heat, but a constant current draw of about 0.001–0.002A remains. How can I diagnose this condition?

It doesn't make sense for me to get ZXW just for this one repair. Pin 9 is reading OL for me when it is supposed to be around 950. I can't seem to figure out the CPU end of this trace as the none of the components nearby this pin read 950.

A screenshot of components on this line would be really greatly appreciated if possible.

My A15 has suddenly turned off its screen, still receiving calls, alarms and vibrating from notifications, altough it only seems to reinitialize on its own, since i've been trying to do it many times, charging and not charging, flipping the charger side, etc. it also turns off after approximately 9 hours (even tough the battery's not over) that is because it has turned on two times already since this problem began but idk how to stop this.

i replaced the flex cable and still the same problem, even went back checked everything was plugged in right and still nothing. i’m so confused please help

Hi! Im having trouble with my sim card not reading, it started yesterday. A few times every hour or so my phone will show me the “sim card not inserted” message, and then it immediately will get me to write my pin in again.

I have an iphone 14 that i got maybe 3-4 years ago, im not really sure. The intervals are closer together the longer it has been going on. It started with just once yesterday morning, but this night its probably happened 5 times in the last hour. Its not too bothersome yet but i would like to solve the problem before it get out of hand.

Thanks for any help!

also Im not sure if this is the right subreddit, sorry if its not.
