Troubleshooting iPhone 11 after back housing replacement
I just replaced the back housing on my iPhone 11 and since the replacement it keeps restarting with the Apple logo every five-ten minutes. I’m assuming something is loose maybe, does anyone have any suggestions on where I should look first in order to fix this issue?
Here is the first page to my panic logs (assuming I located it properly):

I just copy and pasted the text but let me know if a screenshot would be better for you to work with.
I really appreciate you taking the time to look into this for me. It’s very kind of you and it helps make my search for answers so much easier. Thank you!
Well, that’s great to hear! I am A-M-A-Z-E-D at how quickly you were able to narrow down the problem and have a solution for me! Even more so, I didn’t expect to get a solution so specific and down to the T. I just assumed I’d be given a huge list of possible problem areas and the options to fix them, but this is truly a relief. I can’t thank you enough, you’ve made my job so much easier now. I especially appreciate all the links to the parts, the repair guides and the how to guides you attached for me as well. You don’t know how much time you’ve saved me by doing that. So, thank you, thank you, thank you a million times!
I hate to take up more of your time and I hope this is okay, but I do have one last question I have to ask you and I’m only asking because I’ve spent one too many hours searching online for this….Do you know of some kind of chart or diagram online on the iphone 11 that shows every internal screw size and their location? Most of my repair experience has been dealing with the iphone 6 Plus and iphone 6s Plus and since I was able to find a chart or repair guide video online specifically showing those two things, I have it set in my head that there has to be something like that for the iphone 11 too. At least a YOUTUBE video that covers all that throughout the entire tear down process. You seem to be very knowledgeable in this topic of iphone repairing and with that usually comes with a lot of time and hands on experience so I thought maybe at some point you’ve come across something like that or know where to find one. Long story short, there were two instances during my back housing replacement repair where I ended up with 3-4 screws in front of me, all of which were complete different sizes, and unfortunately I made the decision not to mark it down where they came from thinking I would remember but I was wrong. And with all the hours I spent looking online for something that showed the screw sizes for the two locations I was clueless on, I could not find anything at all! I also reached out and messaged a couple repair places online but only one responded and they didn’t have anything or knew where to find something like that. I’m really hoping you could help me, but If not it’s no big deal. I’m extremely grateful for everything else you helped me with previously!!! Thanks again! I look forward to your response.
