Introduction |
| Apple has paired a couple of assemblies to the logic board, presumably for security purposes to ensure that Face ID can't be hacked. Therefore it is impossible for the do-it-yourself repairer to replace any of those three parts and still have Face ID work. | | | The only thing an average person can do outside of taking the phone to Apple for repair is to replace all three parts together with ones salvaged from an original phone. Here's what's needed: | | | - Logic Board | | | - Front Facing Camera Assembly (Paired to that logic board) | | | - Proximity Sensor / Earphone Assembly (Paired to that logic board) | | | That being said, there are other repairs that can be made if Face ID stops working, but they generally require skill in microsoldering; not something just anyone can do. For example, the flex cable that connects the front camera to the logic board can get damaged and it is possible to replace it; it's just that it's very difficult without precise equipment and a particular set of skills. | | | This guide will step you through replacing the three paired components from a damaged phone into a new phone. |
