Hi all, I have an iphone 6 plus. I did the touch disease “repair” with electrical tape. Put phone back together and it worked, but too much tape. I took it apart again, cut tape amount in half, put it back together and now nothing. Wont power on, wont charge, wont respond to anything. Not detected by multiple PCs.
- I’m aware of “long screw damage” and kept them organized and correct.
- tried every reset button possibility combination.
- tried another battery but no luck.
- disconnected battery before I unplugged screen or anything else. Used plastic tool, not metal. How would I go about fixing this? I consider this a “learner phone” and I have soldering tools for small electronics like this, so please dont consider anything “too advanced”, I would like to try. I appreciate any advice!
Well, first of all, putting tape or anything else to apply pressure on the touch ic is not really a fix, it’s a bandaid at best :>). That said, this should not cause the phone to “die” either. I would closely inspect the logic board and look for any damaged, dislodged or bridged components. You’ll also want to inspect all of the flexes as they can cause strange symptoms when they are torn (even the slightest tear). Ideally, you want to use known-good parts so that you can rule things out. It sounds like a logic board issue but it could be a lot of different things. Soldering is the last option, only after you have ruled everything else out.
