iPhone 8 Plus: parts identification and location assistance

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 03:50:38 -0700

i'm transferring the innards and screen of my iphone 8+ to a new back case. in the disassembly and removal i came across 3 parts, one of which i know the name, that i don't know where they came from, and i can't find any reference to them in any of the ifixit guides.

This is the bluetooth antenna flex cable - where does it go?

This, not sure if it's a bracket or antenna, goes somewhere in the upper left, near the wifi antenna cover, but in my phone it's broken, so i'm not sure of the location or orientation.

This, is probably a grounding clip, but i have absolutely no idea where it goes, and the original was was broken as well.

any advice, pictures, or references to ifixit guides would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

iPhone 8 Plus: new battery - phone shuts itself off at 50%

Thu, 07 Jul 2022 05:20:27 -0700

I received a new display and battery for my iPhone 8plus from the iFixit store and installed both yesterday.
I am really happy about the display but I do have an issue with the battery:
I am unable to calibrate it, because after recharging it to 100% and letting it drain, the phone turned itself off at 50%.
I connected it back on charge and it showed 50% battery.
I tried again, and again at 50% the phone turned off, but this time restart it showed a 14% battery charge, although usage shows 50%

Don't really know how to make it work.

Screenshot1: first attempt: Phone turned itself off at 50%

Screenshot2: second attempt: turned itself off at 50%, then on restart shows 11% battery

The screen has been broken for a while now and my original battery was kind of wearing off so I decided to change both.

No drops and then battery doesn’t get specifically hot (normally when recharging)

Was a pretty standard swap, I suppose

iPhone 8 Plus: Home Button Flex snapped

Fri, 19 Mar 2021 20:28:03 -0700

Hi,

I was replacing the screen on my iPhone 8Plus and the flex for the home button snapped. The flex in question is the one that runs along the metal shield, not from the home button itself. Is this replaceable and if so, where can I get one from?

Cheers

iPhone 8 Plus: Scratched off some of the black paint covering the wireless charger

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 11:11:53 -0700

Whilst trying to remove the battery to change it, had to use some fairly brute spudger action to separate battery from Apple’s seriously ridiculous double sided tape. Unfortunately in the process, I scratched off a fair bit of the black paint over the wireless charge. Is this bound to cause any issues?

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 Plus Boot Looping After Repair

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 21:54:08 -0700

Hi, I have an iPhone 8 Plus that started boot looping after a battery replacement and charging port replacement.

I attempted to replace my faulty charging port and also replace my battery on my own. I replaced the charging port without removing the logic board. When I replaced my battery, I used 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to loosen up the adhesive strips. However, I accidentally spilled some droplets of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol onto the logic board, however I think 99% Isopropyl Alcohol should be harmless on electrical devices. After putting back the phone, my iPhone 8 Plus started boot looping.

I discovered that during the process of removing my old battery, I accidentally disconnected the rear camera assembly connector from the logic board. After attaching it back onto the logic board with both a new battery and a new charging port installed, my iPhone 8 Plus is still boot looping.

Some diagnostics I have done are:

1. Connect my original battery back onto my iPhone 8 Plus to see if perhaps the new battery I bought is faulty. I still have the new charging port connected. The result is still boot looping.

2. Connect my old charging port back onto my iPhone 8 Plus to see if perhaps the new charging port I bought is faulty. I still have the new battery connected. The result is still boot looping.

3. Connect both the old battery and old charging port back onto my iPhone 8 Plus. The result is still boot looping.

4. I was able to put my iPhone 8 Plus into Recovery mode by pressing volume up and volume down and holding the lock side button, but my Macbook can't register that my iPhone is connected to the Mac.

My display was only disconnected from my phone body so I could perform my repairs. I did not disassemble the home button or the front-facing camera on my display.

I did not remove the logic board, but only accidentally spilled 99% Isopropyl alcohol on the top black layer of the logic board.

In hindsight, I should've replaced the battery first, then put the iPhone 8 Plus back together and tested if it worked, and then proceed to change the charging port.

Is there anything I could do to try to fix the boot loop on my iPhone 8 Plus? Thank you.

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 Plus will not turn on after charging?

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 07:58:17 -0700

My iPhone 8 Plus was at 70% when I woke up a few days ago and I went to charge it before I left the house, 30 minutes went by and I decided to go get my phone. When I picked it up it would not turn on. I tried all the various force restart methods and nothing worked. I tried plugging it into iTunes and it wouldn’t pick up my device. I took it to apple and they said that the battery wasn’t the problem and they tried to charge me 400$ for a refurbished replacement, but that’s what I’m trying to avoid because I know there is something else that can work. Any thoughts or suggestions?

iPhone 8 Plus: Error reading LCD data

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 14:31:21 -0700

I am trying to change LCD screen on my iPhone 8+ So i recently spend more than 100$ to buy the latest Qianli iCopy + 2.2 version. But unfortunately when i try to read data from my original and replacement LCD screen the quickly show "Reading Screen" less than fraction of a second and jumps back to the main menu. I then tried reading and writing it through the PC software (by copying the board number), but unfortunately got the following errors: " Data reading failure:

communication line/connection error or
Short circuit or disconnected"

Please see the attached image. However, the iPhone XR LCD reads just fine.

Have upgraded the device firmware. Also similiar problem with someone here:

iPhone 8 Plus: Black Screen after screen replacement?

Fri, 07 Jan 2022 11:59:50 -0700

I recently replaced the screen on an iPhone 8 plus. The first screen I replaced had lines through it, so I replaced the screen a second time and the phone screen is completely dead. I can hear sound through the speakers (that emergency buzz when you hold down the power and volume down) and the phone is receiving texts through an Apple watch but a completely black screen. Any help would be appreciated.
