Need help to replace or Repair Face ID My iPhone X 256 GB face ID is not working after a water damage, phone is working perfectly except FACE ID, apple denied repair. Is there any way we can repair Face ID. I can’t replace my mobile by paying $500
In theory yes but realistically no. If you need to ask, the training and tool cost for you to start off definitely costs many times more than $500, so no.
it’s possible but it requires microsoldering experience and equipment. if the module is still functional, but the flex cable is bad, for example, you could cut off the module and solder onto a replacement flex (may have to be an OEM flex, but I’m not sure). it’s a pretty intricate repair though and definitely isn’t a DIY process. also it depends on why the face id isn’t working. I only detailed one explanation, but if it’s something on the motherboard for example, you’re getting into even more dangerous and expensive territory. and a lot of places that I know of don’t offer the same kind of warranties on liquid damaged devices because depending on how bad the damage got the device could have a heavily shortened lifespan.
