I commend you on your work one

ok, i got an iphone from fred durst's brother (yes, from limp bizkit) he tattoos at the same shop as me.
anywho,
NONE of the audio works.
i.e.
i did the test to see if the screen goes black when placed to my ear (thinkin it was still in headphone mode) but it works fine.
so i know its not the headphone sensor.
and the earpiece works fine.
headphones work too.
just no audio through the external speaker.
so you are saying, i can send my phone with a $10 replacement speaker to you and you will replace it, for a tip?
what about return ship?
more info please.

You have no idea what the problem is, and neither do I until I see it.

Ironic though, I've spent years hitting the mute button when I hear limp bizkit........

Well thank ya. I hope people still read it. There's only 2 sure ways to get a thread ignored. Make it a sticky or make it a Wiki guide.

Ok I have 2 useless iPhones that I want to combine to make one working iPhone...
One has a busted screen that is cracked, but doesnt respond to touch. Other than that, it seems to work like a charm. You can call it and it will recieve calls. You can sync it and load firmware on it. But the screen and digitizer are toast I guess.

The other iPhone has a perfect screen, but somehow it the phone will not work. At first it was just a message about the phone will not make or recieve calls.(working fine then out of the blue its crap)... says to contact apple for repair. I tried restoring, and the first time it took a custom firmware which runs bootneuter to unlock for tmobile.. well it froze in bootneuter. 20 mins gone. Had to hard reset. Now it wont take firmware. It would go about 75% then give me error 1011... now since 2.2 came out it wont restore at all, and gives me error 23.

Called apple and they swear its software based, but I talked to you and you said its hardware. Ill go with what you said being an electronics tech as opposed to a telemarketing tech CSR, and also I feel like Ive tried everything.

I was trying to follow your advice and swap out the motherboards, but after obsessing and watching youtube videos tryin to get some kind of technique(all the videos seem to do it in under 2 mins and it looks easy as *&&*), I tried for 4 hours and was still defeated by the back cover removal of the iPhone. Nothing worked. I can get the black part off, but the rest is almost impossible it seems. I butchered the battery cover. And no way have I made any progress on the aluminum back... I managed only to bend it out on accident. Anyways. Can you help me?

I really would do it myself if I could only remove the damn back cover.. because the rest looks like a simple removal of a few screws and unplugging of a couple of cables, which appeared simple enough....
So unless you know some great secret technique that will help me figure it out, I am going to need your help.
Thanks in advance

Update: got it open and followed One1 advice, switched out the motherboards and I now have 1 fully functional iPhone instead of 2 broken "parts" iPhones. Thanks!

Nice reznor9, One1 is the man

[one1]

I had 4 come in today and 2 of you guys have potential to be out the door with just a flex cable, one is sketchy, but in the works....... one is dead as a dang door nail.

[catriple]

Its fun to watch this post. Ive been fixing 1gens for the past year.... and by the looks of it for too cheap!

One1, you ever found a way to sucessfully adhere a new piece of glass to a working LCD and Digitizer on a 1 gen iphone? Ive tried transparent adhesive sheets, glue and epoxy. Adhesive sheets dont go on clear and the epoxy and glue only work sometimes if the glass sticks to the digitizer.

[one1]

Might as well just leave that one alone. The machine they use to do that only works in one direction, the ON direction. Their machine uses superheated material to melt it in then they drop the LCD on after the digitizer cools. Last I checked on that machine and material it was about $12,000.00

[Gyngabread Man]

nice i used to sell parts for moto for cheap on M3 but that was ages ago i stumbled on here last night and today i dropped my phone and now the top half of my screen doesnt work... would u happen to have a digitizer in one those dead phones u have by chance im on a student budget and cant afford too much on parts thanks in advance and keep the good work maybe i'll get into this too but i dont have the fancy equipment or know how you do

[one1]

No such thing as digitizer replacement. Buy the whole LCD/digitizer/glass on ebay. They are getting cheaper. I saw them for $138 today.

[Gyngabread Man]

yea hats what i meant... 138 is real steep for me ive been looking on craigslist for some and found one that was broken but still had a good lcd for 80 but he never replied when i asked where i could pick it up from well if u ever get a phone thats dead but the screen is good let me know ill tip u best i can

[lillewis51]

Hey one I droped my 3g and destroyed my screen. If I get a new screen can you put it on for me please?

[one1]

You can Do it, it's EASY

[lillewis51]

[one1]
