how to replace iphone 12 ear speaker without losing face id - soldering method

[@Haloreach1123]

I’m trying to do the repair but idk what soldering iron I can buy

[@repaironwheels]

Are you a shop or a diyer

[@syedaqilsyedhamdan5716]

hi , may i know what is the suitable temperature in celcius for the solder? sorry im beginner for soldering

[@repaironwheels]

Mine is set to 750

[@mattgnan5309]

Hey what temperature was your heat gun at when loosening the adhesive after desoldering?

[@repaironwheels]

You could use a hair dryer. It doesn’t need to be that hot

[@tetaizozadja7080]

on how many degrees C is your soldering iron

[@repaironwheels]

750°C

[@REDTRONGUY]

thanks you just made my store hundreds for dollars and saved my customers hundreds of dollars!!!

[@repaironwheels]

Glad to be of service

[@370freeark]

That was a great video, very well-explained. What soldering iron and soldering wire did you use? (I guess the first thing you use is desoldering tape and the liquid is soldering flux right?) Sorry, I'm totally new at this. Thank you!

[@repaironwheels]

The first thing was soldering wick to remove the old solder. The other was indeed flux

[@repaironwheels]

I use a hakko fm203 and regular leaded solder

Hi I have a question that I can't find an answer to. Would the microphone that activates during video recording be the rear one near the camera? If so, which part should be changed? Help me understand Thank you

[@repaironwheels]

That is the rear mic for rear facing video. Front facing video/FaceTime uses a different mic

[@antoniosimeri6575]

@@repaironwheels Tkank you :)) they told me that the rear microphone only serves to eliminate noise during videos, and that I had to change the microphone underneath, the one that is part of the charging dock

[@MarcosAlcala]

Would a programer be able to get around solder method

[@repaironwheels]

From my understanding there’s not a programmer that can fix this

[@repaironwheels]

If you’re in the US, you are more than welcome to send the device to me for repair

[@khrietuorio]

will the true tone disappear after changing the flex or remain the same along with the face ID ?

[@repaironwheels]

As of now replacing the screen won’t result in loss of Face ID functionality If you want to keep True Tone you need to buy the proper tool. Most people don’t want to buy that tool for a one off repair which is why I don’t include it in my videos

[@repaironwheels]

True Tone is attached to the screen serial number. As long as the flex isn’t damaged Face ID functionality isn’t affected

You are very good teacher

[@tiggerlator]

This work for the warranty speaker problem?

[@repaironwheels]

Yup

[@tiggerlator]

@@repaironwheels ok thx. So Apple fitted a faulty speaker to some 12's. brilliant. Just asking as mine has a few dints on it and they might not do a warranty repair.

[@repaironwheels]

You might fall under their 3 year warranty. (They extended warranty for this specific issue)

[@repaironwheels]

If they deny you I’d be happy to help out. I do this repair for 85 including return shipping

[@tiggerlator]

@@repaironwheels I just sold it, and bought another one with a working speaker. I saw they had extended it, but if the phone has dents on the edges, they can refuse it under the warranty meaning a high repair cost to fix their problem. Doing it DIY means more than likely breaking the water resistance too. Your video is pretty good though and i will keep it in mind for the future, if this one ends up with the same problem after the Apple repair period ends. This is dent free on the edges so if it goes within a few weeks, i will get them to fix it for free, as it is in good condition so should be accepted. Thanks for your replies.

Thank you so much! great video ngl

hi after i changed only reciever face id is not working when old one soldered face id is working but not new any solution

[@repaironwheels]

Double check that your Face ID cables are seated properly. Disconnect and reconnect your ear speaker flex. Also verify that none of those cables are torn

[@ChrisJericho58]

i got 1 question if i order new speaker with flet for face id do i still need to transfer my old flet to new speaker ???

[@repaironwheels]

The original flex is what is needed to retain Face ID functionality. If you replace the flex you will lose Face ID

[@ChrisJericho58]

@@repaironwheels can i use a decoder to transfer flat data to new one ???

[@repaironwheels]

Not to my knowledge

[@enricod2061]

@@repaironwheels Can you solder the sensors to a new flex cable? I ripped the flex, everything else is fine.

[@benlacey12]

Im getting a 4013 error n seen online than unplugging the earspeaker wire would solve it, is that the case? I have an iphone 12 mini not sure what wire to unplug once i open the phone up

[@repaironwheels]

4013 is usually a usb chord error. Or a bad CPU

[@repaironwheels]

Unplugging the ear speaker is a good go to with an iphone diagnosis especially when the device won’t boot

[@benlacey12]

@@repaironwheels I'll be contacting a repair shop in the morning see if they can try it, woke up to find it boot looping and won't restore on itunes great video btw learnt some information from this

a partir de qué iphone es necesaria?

[@repaironwheels]

¿Podrías reformular la pregunta? No estoy seguro de haberla entendido. el iphone x, xr, xs, xs max, serie 11, serie 12, tiene el altavoz del oído soldado al flex de proximidad/als

[@alvaroespinosa4334]

@@repaironwheels a partir de qué modelo es necesario desoldar el flex y volverlo a soldar en un nuevo altavoz? creo que hay modelos que bastan con tranplantar el módulo entero

[@repaironwheels]

iPhone 8 y anteriores, iPhone 13 y posteriores, el altavoz auditivo es su propio componente modular, solo las series X, 11 y 12 requieren soldadura.

[@nickeco5261]

have you encountered an iphone 12 which has a black screen? everything works but the screen is black. would you happen to know a fix? greaet video btw

[@repaironwheels]

Sounds like an ambient light sensor failure. It’s attached to the ear speaker flex

[@younglb9236]

Can it be fixed bro if the flex cable is ripped

[@repaironwheels]

I think so but your probably better off fixing it to sell it so you can go out and buy a 12 that’s not torn

[@repaironwheels]

Check out Microsoldering.com

[@younglb9236]

@@repaironwheels thank u bro it’s for a iPhone XS Max

[@repaironwheels]

All the more reason. The other thing you could do is find a phone that’s cracked front and back for like 150-200 and drop the board battery and fade if components into your existing screen/housing

[@khrietuorio]

Hello bro I did the exact same thing on my 12pro it worked for 2days after that the speaker completely went off, I opened and checked but everything seems fine even the soldering is all ok face id still there only the speaker is not working again.Any idea what the issue is or how do I resolve it?

[@repaironwheels]

I don’t know what causes this, but it is more or less rampant within the 12/12 pro series. Basically just solder a new speaker on.

[@repaironwheels]

I charge $100 for this repair. Return shipping included

[@spartan1068]

Excelente explicación!

[@repaironwheels]

Thank you

[@rayjanhilario6006]

is this posssible iphone 12 pro max? will face id work ?

[@repaironwheels]

This method works for iPhone X series 11 series and 12 series (and 12 pro max). So yes Face ID will work as long as it’s not damaging during the soldering/repair process. If you don’t have a soldering iron I would be happy to assist you with the repair if you can ship me the device

Has everyone gotten the same problem on their I phone 12s? Mine including many people I know have been complaining about their i phone 12’s earpieces going out of order after a recent update. Anyone had similar experiences?

[@repaironwheels]

Ive started seeing more and more of these as the phone ages. Not sure if it has anything to do with an update. But it’s specific to the 12/12pro. Just randomly stops working

Hi, i was gonna do a screen repair on my 12 pro but my hand slipped in the procsess and i broke the original speaker cable. Is face id done or is there any way to repair the cable? Thanks

[@repaironwheels]

If the flex is damaged/torn/etc Face ID is done :(
