While replacing a charging port on the 6s I realized that the battery didn't seem to stay seated. It also won't charge past a certain percentage. Anyone run into this?
BE FOREWARNED: I used this guide and ended up breaking one of the cables to my display on step 8. Now my home button, camera and speaker don’t work and I have to spend 80 dollars for a new lcd panel.
The featured guide (not this one) shows how to completely detach the screen cables so this won’t happen. Do a quick search and take a look before possibly breaking your phone on step 8. Fully detaching the panel would have prevented this issue
DO NOT USE THIS GUIDE: It is not complete. I ended up having to goto the store and pay $250 dollars to get my I phone fixed after breaking it with these incomplete directions.
This is a more complete guide use this one: iPhone 6s Battery Replacement
