hello, i’ve bought an iphone xs from my friend, and he has ripped out the earpiece flex cable (it’s missing), if i’ll buy a new earpiece part will i be able to save faceid somehow? thank you a lot.
Yes, it can be fixed in most cases. You will need to buy another one and remove the proximity sensor and flood illuminator. then remove the original proximity sensor and flood illuminator from the original damaged one and solder them back to the new one. here’s a link of the job… https://youtu.be/jTApmrKe6Bs
Not possible unfortunately. FaceID is paired between the original flex and logic board, so any replacement will function correctly, but not restore FaceID.
