my story: dropped my iphone x ended up with a detached screen. Decided to fix it myself. While handling the screen and disconnecting cables I managed to damage Face ID sensor permanently. Decided to take advantage and replace battery. In the process of removing the battery cable managed to damage it in such a way that cable now keeps disconnecting itself. While trying to disconnect the battery cables by removing the parts near charging connector I managed to pull it a bit strongly and damage the charging connector that is connected to the logic board. Even if I manage to repair the phone to the state it was (incl face id) with a professional it will cost as much as another phone. With the experience above I decided I will think twice next time before trying to repair devices myself. Update: typos. |

Then I tried to hook connector back, couldn't get it connected back. Panicked. Felt I basically broke it, and needed to buy a new phone. Left it for a day, didn't sleep at night, with a sick feeling since I wasn't ready to buy a new phone at the time. Thought about buying the previous model used.
But then the next day, I figured since it was broke to me, I'd just try really hard to push it back on. Eventually with enough force I thought I'd break everything on it, nearly all my weight, I felt the click of the connector snapping on.
Phone turned on. Switch still didn't work. Gave up fixing my phone after that.
