Answer to "iPhone 7 plus touch id not working after screen replacement" 09/13/2018
Check out this Thread. Touch ID Not Working After Screen Replacement Unfortunately, Apple has a monopoly on this technology and usually has to do with the Home Button. I have done 3 repairs on 7’s and 2 failed to recognize the home button. I have not seen it fixed with an iOS update or complete restart.

Answer to "screen has boxes and I cannot open" 06/30/2016
If you just replaced the screen the connections may not be seated correctly.
Answer to "iPhone display dead spot after water damage" 06/14/2016
Unfortunately, looking at the pic you provided the screen is done. There is/was still water on the inside that the rice could not get at. This is what further damaged the iPhone. Luckily you can replace the screen but, in my experience, you may experience other issues.
Answer to "Touch ic problems iPhone 6plus" 06/14/2016
Screen could possibly been replaced. It is known to happen that the Touch ID will stop working once a screen is replaced. Part of the deal made when the lawsuit happened over Error 53 (source: TechCrunch).
Answer to "Pentalobe Screws and Apple Watch" 06/14/2016
I bought my Pentalobe drivers from KC Tools Co.. Great to deal with and purchase from. Look into Wiha and PL2. Here are a couple links to a sets: Wiha Pentalobe Screwdriver Set. Wiha Slotted Phillips/Pentalobe system
Answer to "apple Error 53 disable repaired phone" 06/14/2016
Put the old screen on and update the iOS. Then replace with new screen. A downside since this is that you will lose the Touch ID, this is even when I use the original Home Button. This article goes into is a bit, Tech Crunch. Hope this helps. Good Luck!!
Answer to "What is RAM layout" 12/02/2015
Apple says 8GB (x2 4GB chips) of RAM, but I have seen it with 16GB of RAM (x2 8GB chips).

I wish I could give more points because this saved a laptop! Killed another, but 1 is better than none.
