I first got into repairing devices when my iPhone 6 battery was not holding the charge it should have been after excessive use. Since then I have been exploring repair more both as a career and to understand how devices work.

Answer to: My handset is in spanish. How do I get it set to english 12/10/2018
Hi Anthony. You need to hit the menu / select button on the handeset which is the top button on the right hand side of the handset and then hit the center button. This wil take you into the handest setup. Then scroll down to Handset Language ( in spanish this is idioma) this is the 7th option in the menu. From here you should be able to set the lanugae to english. The menu for you phone can be found here - https://www.101phones.com/content/pdf/un... and you will need pages 6 and 7. Hope this helps.

Answer to: Beats Headphone Jack stuck 12/10/2018
Hi, If a portion of the headphones are stuck in the jack you can try to delicatly remove them using this tool GripStick Headphone Plug Extraction Tool . However you need to be careful doing thiis. If you cannot remove the jack using this method then the headphonje jack would need to be replaced which is this part iPad mini 4 (Wi-Fi) Headphone Jack . It might be worthwhile seeking out your local repair shop if you do not feel you are able to preform the repair yourself. Kind regards Matt
Answer to: How do I remove battery when I ripped the strips 12/10/2018
I would also add to this, 100% follow th guide to remopve the logic board from the phone. I would then use an iOpener . All you need to do is the put the gel pack in the microwave for 30 seconds and then apply to the rear of the phone to soften the adhesive. With the adhesive soft carefully slide the credit card shaped cards between the battery and the rear of the case to seperate the battery. As previous users have mentioned. Take care and do not use any sharp implements as you risk damaging the battery cell.
Answer to: iPhone6 flash and front and back camera not working after housing swap 12/02/2018
It sounds like that there could be damage to a few components in there. The Front facing camera / sensor module connect to the board indepedently of the rear camera. The front facing camera / sensor flex could of been damaged when you were taking the screen off your phone. Twisting the display during it’s removal can case damage. I would also check the rear facing camera flex cable for tearing. In terms of the flash module this is on the flex cable which also has your power button. Worth while checking this for damage. Damage here may of occoured because of mis handing of the flex cables, over tightening of screws or using the incorrect length of screws in a sensative location. Thats just my opinion based on what has been described above. Let me know how you get on.
Answer to: What kind of antenna is this? 12/02/2018
I agree with Tom Chai. On the schematic the area of the board that corrosponds to this is referred to as TUNFX_RF and looks like the component is called the UAT Tuner Flex.
Answer to: Why is my microphone not working at all? 12/02/2018
I would say it is most likley a problem with the audio IC on the logic board not making sufficent connection to the pads on the logic board. The latter would require microsoldering skills to replace that chip and put the nesecary jumper connections in place to make sure that this does not occour agian.
