Great content. As a tech starting out. limited cash. I'm looking for the least and easiest way to fix face id, true tone, genuine messages. what would you recommend?

[@Guaranteed_JET]

im asking which programmer/ tool would you buy if you had to buy one tool.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I would say there's no 1 perfect tool. It's part of being a phone repair tech. Have to buy different tools for the different jobs.

[@frankboamah8889]

Please can you do a video on the Unkown part of changed batteries 🙏

[@fb1288]

hi i'm struggling with that. I have 2 questions : do you think the little flex addin can be used twice ? on 2 different front cam modules ? Second question : I have a module that is all green when plugged on the A108 without the addin. I perform the procedure well it seems but it doesn't solve the face id problem.

[@okafordaniel7103]

It was said in the video that if everting is normal then maybe it board issues this only works if NTC AND I2C are normal

[@OneStopShopGarage]

So i recently bought a used iphone 11 pro 64gb from a local off marketplace for $30, screen needed to be replaced (black screen) and it was supposedly stuck in recovery mode, however i was able to restore the phone which is unlocked with no activation lock, I replaced the screen successfully with a generic one off Amazon, to find out the face ID has a detected issue during setup. So I immediately thought the issue was the actual face ID sensors that mount to the back of display. In part I believe that sensor did need to be replaced as I noticed that the phone was getting hot when the face ID flex cable was connected, I disconnected that flex cable and the phone was no longer getting hot; I ordered a generic replacement face ID sensor assembly off Amazon last night and installed today to find out that the issue wasn't just that sensor for the back of display, but I believe the true depth camera you are dealing with in this video. Also I don't know if it matters but i never reassembled the phone as I don't want to have to lift the screen from the casing. How expensive of a fix you think it would be at a local repair shop?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

It would depend. If you replaced the true depth camera or it's not original, then there's no way to repair Face ID Pricing would range between $100-200 i would suppose

[@OneStopShopGarage]

@@VCCBoardRepairs I appreciate the response bro. Yeah I’m not sure whether it’s the genuine apple true depth sensor that’s in there or not.. the phone’s exterior appearance seems like it’s in great condition. But when I got around to disassembly I noticed one of the two screws on the bottom by speaker ports was missing.. I noticed some brackets and screws that were for securing the display’s flex cables into place as well as the battery flex cable cover plate were missing after opening it up.. luckily I was able to find a whole internal hardware set for the phone on Amazon for $5. But yeah is there a stamp/logo I can look for on the true depth camera sensor? I snapped the phone back together in the event the metal contact from the Face ID sensor on back of display needed to make with that of the True depth camera system’s metal bracket or something to get reenabled. No such luck tho 😞

[@agostinhoalexandre7166]

Hi there! great review! Just bought myself an A108 and a new frontcamera+dot projector piece, canI write into it, or it has to be written into to tag-flex and then attach it to the original frontcamera+dot projector piece? Thanks in advance! A.

Does the FaceID work if you put a tag on flex on a compatible front camera assembly replacement Or does the tag on flex work only on the original camera?
