  • Answer to: 3GS backlight our after screen repair

    Have you tried a different LCD? It just could be that the one you received is bad. Sounds like you took all the precautions during the fix, so I don't see any other issues besides a bad part. What happened to the original LCD? If it was showing backlight before, then a new LCD should as well.

  • Answer to: upgrade iPhone 3GS jailbreak to 5.01

    Google iClarified or RedmondPie for DIYs. You would only need to flash with ipad baseband if you need an unlock. Also unless you've saved your SHSH blobs in Cydia, you may not be able to upgrade it to 5.0.1, only 5.1. On second thought, I am pretty sure you wont be able to upgrade to 5.0.1.

  • Answer to: On/Off switch not working

    These things go bad after a few years. Try replacing the entire ribbon connector for the audiojack/power button. I've had to replace a few for customers throughout the years just because they drop the phone or it just wears out.

  • Answer to: Battery wont charge after battery replacement

    You may have just received a bad battery. Take out the new one and replace it with the original and see if it does the same thing. If it doesn't then you can pretty much assume you received a defective battery. It happens all the time.

  • Answer to: Replacing Cable #1 on 3GS Screen

    Why do that when you can just remove the LCD from one and transfer it to the other? 6 screws to hold the LCD to the midframe, remove those and do the swap. Then crack open a beer to celebrate.

  • Answer to: Replaced Battery, Now Only Speakphone Works

  • Answer to: Ribbon cable 7 won't fit

    Yes, that is for reception. You may have just bent it out of shape enough that it won't pop back in again. You have to use a microscope or magnifying glass to look at it and with some tweezers/forceps manipulate it into shape. Worse case is, you need it replaced. That is something more challenging. Requires desoldering and soldering of a new one on.

  • Answer to: I cannot type messages keypad last line(z thru m)not working

    Open up the phone and disconnect the digitizer ribbon (#2) and reseat it. It's possible you knocked it loose or something. Make sure the phone is off when doing this.

  • Answer to: replece battery and my phone resets every 2 mins

    Defective battery. Try putting the original one back in and see if it does the same thing.
