Need help to replace or Repair Face ID
My iPhone X 256 GB face ID is not working after a water damage, phone is working perfectly except FACE ID, apple denied repair. Is there any way we can repair Face ID. I can't replace my mobile by paying $500
Is this a good question?

In theory yes but realistically no. If you need to ask, the training and tool cost for you to start off definitely costs many times more than $500, so no.

it’s possible but it requires microsoldering experience and equipment. if the module is still functional, but the flex cable is bad, for example, you could cut off the module and solder onto a replacement flex (may have to be an OEM flex, but I’m not sure).
it’s a pretty intricate repair though and definitely isn’t a DIY process.
also it depends on why the face id isn’t working. I only detailed one explanation, but if it’s something on the motherboard for example, you’re getting into even more dangerous and expensive territory. and a lot of places that I know of don’t offer the same kind of warranties on liquid damaged devices because depending on how bad the damage got the device could have a heavily shortened lifespan.

Face ID parts are complicated and difficult to repair. To fully understand Face ID, you can check below.
Why Face ID Not Working After Repair
And for a detailed repair process, you need to pinpoint the faulty component first. Whether the flex cable has been ripped-off or relevant component has missing. Hope the following repair guide can help you somehow.

Unfortunately it appears SOSav has discontinued their English language site. The guide is still available, but only in the original French. In conjunction with the automatic translation feature of the Chrome web browser, it still works quite well even if you don't speak French.

Or you could use the guide I wrote for that same repair.
By the way, this repair WILL NOT FIX FACE ID! The IR camera and dot projector are both paired to the motherboard so replacing the front camera assembly will permanently disable Face ID. Only Apple can replace those parts and restore the functionality of the Face ID system.
