My iPhone 8 Plus screen went black/iPad mini 4 antena cable broken

Hey guys I have two problems!! One my iPhone 8 Plus just want black on me and it won’t turn on! Also I was replacing an iPad mini screen, thing was completely chattered! Couldn’t even take it apart! That’s how bad it was. I tried my best and as careful as I was I still accidentally pulled what looks like an antenna cable right off ! From the solder part of it. Can I just simply solder it back and the problem will be fix?

Hi WM. This should really be two separate questions. That makes it easier for others to search against and it will keep the answers and comments more aligned.

For the iPad, the antennas can be repaired/re-soldered depending on the damage level. Post a picture and I’ll be in a better position to comment.

As for the iPhone, black screens can be caused by a lot of different things. It could be a dead battery, a damaged/defective screen, a logic board issue etc.

The more background details you provide (drops, repairs, water etc.) the better the diagnosis. It’s like going to the doctor and saying you have abdominal pain…the doc is going to need more info than that to give you a proper diagnosis :>).
