Ok guys I replaced a iPhone 5C loud speaker. Turned the phone on. Now its a black screen with numbers on it. It wont boot up or show the apple.
Any ideas why it does this?
Step 2 Can I suggest that prior to any dismantling of the main component section that,when the front display has been set aside you take a photo of section containing battery etc.Print the photo you have just taken,then when you remove a screw place it on the corresponding position of the pictured screw.
Have run into a 5 that had it's power/volume flex replaced but now the phone is stuck in headphone mode. Tried a new speaker and a new dock/headphone jack assembly with no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
do not follow this guide! you will destroy your phone: no need to remove logic board for speaker replacement!!! skip to step 28!!!
beware ifixit can not fixit!
No need to remove battery or logic board. After disconnecting battery and removing screen, Do steps 26 and 27. Then remove the two stand-offs on the lower part of the logic board (shown in orange in step 30) and the screw on the far right of the logic board (bottom screw shown in red in step 30). Using a spudger, pop off the cellular data antenna (shown in step 21). Remove the screw on the bottom right securing the speaker in the frame and grounding the home button (this is the blue screw in step 34). You can carefully peel the lightning connector ground off the speaker (large flat ribbon on the bottom right. Then carefully peel the home button ground contact ribbon off the speaker on the left side. You can then gently slide the speaker out from under the logic board and replace it. Put tings back in reverse order. You can use a little piece of battery sticker to re-glue the home button ground contacts back to the left side of the speaker. No need to remove the data port or any other component.
