Chosen Solution
Hey guys, I attempted to change a iPhone 7 screen. Unfortunately it did not go well and I snapped the home button cable.☹️ I have since purchased a second hand phone and transferred all my data. I wanted to sell the iPhone 7 as spares or repairs so restored the phone back to factory forgetting that it would wipe of assistive touch now I can’t get passed the hello screen. Any help Would be awesome as I was hoping to try and recoupe some money. Thanks
You need to bring it to apple to get a screen replacement through them. The only other option would need very high skill and that would be to solder the tiny traces in the ribbon cable back together.
No you’re fine—just long press to slide to power off, and then reboot. The phone will boot with ‘choose language’ and you should be able to click through the menu and set up assistive touch. I made a video on how to solve this exact problem on iPad Rehab YT channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwxvTDOf…
Hello If Apple detects that the terminal is damaged, they may refuse to repair it. Then I would have to pay 50% (approximate) of the value of a new one to repair the home button (changed the terminal) but if it can hide it, the repair could be cheap. Apple changes the entire front, camera, headset, sensors, screen and home as the only piece. If it does not detect that it was tampered with, it will change the screen without problems. Another option if the terminal is very manipulated is to wet it. Apple will make you pay an amount (approximately 50%), but they will change the terminal without complaining much.
