Face ID Problem- flood illuminator

Hi

I’ve bought from my friend smashed iphone on both sides. Ive repaired it to a brand new condiction- screen and other things are original paired by apple.

There is no error in face id. Main problem is when I try scan, it doesnt recognise my face, its say take phone upper, now lower and… nothing. I’ve found that might be a flood illuminator. I can do soldering by myself but… does this sensors are paired to face id? I wonder if I can replace them (they are mounted to screen with speaker by 3 screws).

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi Łukasz Zakrzewski, I am currently facing the same problem with my iPhone Xs Max and I was wondering if replacing the flex cable of the flood illuminator worked. Or was it a different problem?

YES, the flood illuminator is paired to the phone. It can be transplanted to a new flex cable but it cannot be replaced.

Check out the Face ID teardown guide here and you will know more about Face ID.

ola,

No meu Iphone 11 o flood illuminator está sempre ativo mesmo quando desativo “pedir atenção para face ID” e “deteção da atenção”..

É normal esse comportamento? nao deveria o flood illuminator se desligar com essas opções desativadas?

O que você está vendo é o sensor de proximidade. Ele é junto com o Flood Illuminator.
