Face id and fingerprint button Replacement with programmers

After looking into buying an iphone programmer i am between the JC V1s (more expensive) and the Qianli icopy Plus 2.1 (cheaper),

I know that the JC V1s is ‘‘able’’ to program the dot projector from the face id and the fingerprint scanner of some JC buttons and do many more…

But my biggest question is if this means that i can SIMPLY REPLACE the damaged face id sensor with the whole front camera module by programming a new one?

As for the fingerprint buttons i have heard that some times it does and some times doesn’t work.

What do you know about the subject of face id and fingerprint replacement using the JC V1s programmer?

Also do you have any suggestion on witch programmer to buy because if its not easy to replace the face id and fingerprint i think that the icopy programmer makes more sense.

Thank you!

No you can’t replace the full module, the programmer is only for reading and writing flex cable data to a new flex like the i2c flex. As for home button I’m not to sure of.

Daniel is right about only writing to the flex. You will still need good microsoldering skills to remove the eeprom and transfer other components.

The home button function only allows the reading and writing of the serial number it does not bring back touch ID.
