we've all been there you finished with
seems like the perfect repair you're
super proud of yourself so you close up
your device try to power it back on and
then nothing don't worry
every fixer goes through this so today
we're sharing some of our
troubleshooting tips that will help you
get your repair back on track now if
you're faced with the repair gone wrong
try turning it off and back on again
sounds trivial but sometimes it works if
you're still not having luck take a deep
breath open the device back up and
immediately disconnect the battery it's
time to double check your work
first let's be sure you have the right
part as an example an iPhone 6 display
won't work on an iPhone 6s but they sure
do look alike so inspect your
replacement part to make sure it matches
your model and the old part that you
removed once you've confirmed that
you're working with the right part check
your work step by step with a guide as
you go back through you'll want to
physically receipt each connector that
you touched or may have disturbed during
the repair for example if the problem is
a blank or glitchy screen making sure
that those display connectors are firmly
connected could solve your problem as
you're checking your connections inspect
each connector socket carefully for dust
bent pins or other problems if a socket
or connector looks dirty flush it out
with some compressed air or if it's
really bad clean it carefully with 90
percent or greater isopropyl alcohol and
allow it to air dry before closing it
back up while you're at it don't forget
to read the comments on each step for
clues about what might have gone wrong
some of the best advice comes from
fixers who've attempted the repair
before you if you're still having issues
and your device worked better with the
old component that you just replaced try
reconnecting the old part if your issue
clears up it could mean that you have a
defective part if you bought your part
from I fix it all you got to do is
contact customer support so we can
verify the problem and we'll exchange
any defective parts ASAP sadly if the
problem still persists even with the old
part installed or if you have a new
problem that you didn't have before the
repair chances are accidental damage
