- Hi, this 'trying to fix' video shows me attempting to fix 2 faulty iPhone 6S that I purchased on eBay for £105 and £55.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks Vince.

this channel is gonna blow up, i cant remember when was the last time i watched every 30-40 min video on a channel till the end with such excitement. Gratz on repaired phones!
Ever since I've found your channel, I've just been binge watching every video. It's really great seeing an amateur (no offense), taking things apart and (attempting) to fix them. It gives me inspiration, and shows that you don't need to be an expert to fix things. I hate all the "professional" and "sponsored" channels that litter TH-cam today. I miss the days when everyone was just an average person, no different than me or you. I far prefer the private and non-verified channels. At least the few that are left.
Yes i know right
Vince you should do a live stream one day and we can help you while you do it.
Awesome idea
Good Idea👍🏻🙂
Live Stream🔴, I don’t know how to fix iPhones but you guys can help me on the live stream🔴
I mean live Chat
V Shap you know you can edit your comments and replies, right?
The zero passcode bypass was a bug actually, in the earlier ios 11 versions, the passcode part actually accepted 4 or 6 zeros instead of the real passcode.
but the phone would update to the latest iOS version when you restore it so that bug had to be patched... unless they havent patched it and it still accepts six 0 as a passcode.
maybe they publicly said they did and really didnt? when they "patched" it the option to use the passcode disappeared
When u restore the iphone it restores it to the current version doesn't update it i believe
snowballs159 current version if you restore it on the phone or it makes you get the latest version if you restore it on iTunes
All zero's has been used as admin bypass for years. It's not likely a bug, but a reset feature that used to be built in standard. Thing is only the tech savvy were likely to have this knowledge back in the day, and nobody would usually think someone would set the passcode to all zeros. Now....people are more knowledgeable about tech in general, and this process is outdated and it's surprising to see it still used.
Touch ID is locked to the device's motherboard
thanks genius!
Vince also forgot to disconnect the battery buggering up the backlight on the display as it shorted
^That is very true^
50 minutes of pure entertainment
I saw this video 3 minutes after this was published. Your videos are really cool.

If something isnt working (like the camera, screen, speakers, etc), try unplugging the battery from the board and replugging it in. Usually when working on a phone, the battery is disconnected first and should be the last part to be reconnected. Saved me a ton of times when I thought something wasn’t working.
I checked the video time and I was pleasantly surprised by how long the video is wow I love this channel :)
Keep up the good work mate, really enjoying it. Quality videos, also good to see that someone tries to repair tech stuff. Cheers mate
I enjoy watching your videos. Majority of the time I don't need to watch them but you seem like a very genuine guy. As someone from the UK I find your videos entertaining...Great video and well done on the channel :-)
Hey Vince! Been enjoying your content a lot, I mostly just play games and play your repair videos on the background, pretty relaxing tbh.
Thank you for the entertainment!
Mike Zarzuela me too
ALWAYS disconnect the battery on a phone BEFORE doing anything and frying anything on the motherboard ( like the backlight )
The Robster there is dedicated circuit on the motherboard that controls said screen backlight, lookup any iPhone backlight repair (on TH-cam!)
I think that on this channel you should do things related to Nintendo Labo and make things that people put down in the comments section my mate Vince. Not only do I think you will be great at the coding and the building but I think people will find it fun watching your skills at making things not at a high complication level.
Love watching your “trying to fix” series mate keep it going :)
These are my favorite videos. They look super cool when you fix them and that ability is great!
Vince ! If you switch the button over to the new screen Touch ID will function and if you go to Amazon you can buy a screen for 25-30 pounds I replace about 20 a week just always check model numbers
You need to disconnect battery first, dat's important because You may fry board.
On siri check hole on screen part because on same replacements screens that hole need to be enlarged because it's not in same spot.
Mostly on disassembly siri or camera is damaged and that's normal :D
yes screws are not the same and always need to be put back in same spot like on 5S one is not magnetic and it's next to compass.
Not bad for not checking any tutorial and I can tell You that :)
You did a great job getting both of those going. I'm glad it worked out
You were very lucky not to blow a filter next time disconnect the battery before working inside the phone. Also it is very important to keep the four screws covering the display cables in the correct order as long screw damage is a very technical repair well beyond the scope of most technicians. Nice to get a functioning ipod and a phone from ebay :)
You got 2 working phones, great stuff vince
Tip: Always disconnect the battery.
Use a plastic spuger, you don’t want to pull any components off the board
Cool! Hope to see more phone fixing in the future!
O2 and Giff Gaff are the same carrier. I had to educate the sales man in the O2 shop of this fact. You can use any Giffgaff sim in any O2 phone and vice versa.
I will give you a few tips. You probobly already had hundreds of coments just like these.
Touch ID on the home button is locked to that specific motherboard. You can replace the button, but the Touch ID will not work. This needs to be programmed with a Special Apple Calibration machine which only apple has.
Great tip! Buy a suction cup and the tool iSesamo(buy serveral of them). This will make your life so much easier when tryck to pry things open.
Also do remove the connection of the battery to the mainboard before removing anything else. And put a small object between the batteryconnector and its logicboard connections.
I would also recommend to watch 1 or 2 videos of the procedure to prepare.
They are torx screwdriver bits you can get a set of torx bits and a handle for a £1 in poundland
Not unplugging the battery can short out the backlight on an iPhone screen, which is probably what happened with your phone (Hugh Jeffreys here on TH-cam always emphasises unplugging the battery first when you’re repairing an iPhone, I learned it from him). The Touch ID button is also locked to a phone’s motherboard and can only be re-paired to an iPhone by Apple when they do an official repair (also learned this from Hugh Jeffreys). Other than that you did a good job with the phones!
do a proximity test as well record something in voice memos and hit the speaker icon and cover the proximity sensor while playing back the recorded audio.
I don't think siri is having issues I think there is one damaged micro phone as the 6s has 4
Hi vince, i dont know if u knew but u can change only the glass part of the screen u can get that on ebay for cheap just need to glue it with uv resign to lcd,also u might want to buy gasket that goes under the screen since these are 6s which are i bealeve splash proof and its aroud 1pound and baterry sticker are cheap too, and also what u could do for the water dameged one is watch video from tampatech yt chanel on fixing water damaged phones,basically u need to clean every ribbon calbe contacts and pads beneath and doo that for every conection to the moter board that night fix ur camera and mic problem. Hope this will help you
Thanks for all the info. I knew none of this so it really helps :-) I have seen a few TampaTech vids before so I will hunt out the water damaged phone one :-)
My Mate VINCE just to let you know, replacing the glass is not the way to to- the quality is usually rubbish, you can see the glue, and there is usually a screen gap
Great video. Really like trying to figure things out with u as u move through each issue. Unique channel and well put together videos! Keep It Up Bud!
You can't swap Touch ID as its paired with the logic board
Imei number is on the shell of the iPhone as sim trays are the easiest way to fool a buyer as its easily swapped.
Vince what you've just said about the iCloud lock, You could have just bought a stolen phone but not likely as its easily on locked nowadays so would have been sold for full price.
I'd love to see you change a logic board ic vince, go for it!
Nice video Vince, I remember subscribing back in the day where you did videos on BT and other home networking videos :) Glad you are doing this type of series, because conveniently I am doing the same with phones as well as laptops. Keep this sort of thing coming! Preferably as a series :P
Very Nice video Vince! I have the iPhone 8 but have never owned a 6S and this a great video on seeing how the 6S was built! I love each and everyone of your videos because they're so informative on how things work, how to repair them, etc. Keep up the great work.
In order to get the screen to work on the new phone you have to disconnect the battery after having replaced the screen. The you hold the power button with the battery disconnected for a few seconds and then reconnect the battery. The screen should work after that. I had to do it on a screen repair for my little sister. Put the screen on and it didn't work, disconnected and reconnected the battery and boom, worked perfectly.
Watching you try and do this without the sucker thing did make me lol.
What do you do with this stuff that buy broken/faulty and then repair? Do you sell them later or just keep them?
Great video as always!
Loving these eBay fix videos! Keep it up mate 👍
you should do more of these
Vince when you open it up you should always disconnect the battery if you don’t and you plug it back in with the phone on, it will blow the back light on it
note most of the broken ones come from repair centres sekking it for profit or previous faulty units bought previously.
imie from tray can be switched from another phone look at the back of the phone for imie number.
You should disconnect the battery before taking any ribbon cables out mate, if not when you reconnect them there’s a chance you can short the backlight on the motherboard and it’s impossible to repair! Just a heads up if you do swap the screens make sure you swap the homebuttons around so you can still use Touch ID!
He doesn't really know about apple, and 16gb Is like nothing in 2018
I wouldn't say it's impossible to repair the backlight. TH-camrs like Jessa can repair them.
Not sure if you did, but always disconnect the battery before removing/replacing the screen on an iphone 6s, otherwise you will more than likely have backlight issues. If the rear camera and flash/torch do not work, then the camera ic is likely water damaged.
if you want the touch id to work u have to swap out the cable for the home buttom as well.
You should be able to do everything except of course make/ receive calls if the phone is locked to the former owner's cell service, but reset ( no password set). Unlocking the cell service to port it over is simple, and very quick. That first phone has Chinese text on it.....the darker one looks fake,weird .Find my iPhone is brilliant if you have 2 Apple devices, or your significant other also has one. I use my iPad to track my iPad, and vice versa... It tracks them down to a satellite photo of the location. Awesome!
No need to heat up. Just use a suction cup.
Michael Reimann that’s one way to do it but it’s different from the six The 6S has a water Proofing seal around i proofing seal around the frame on the inside sometimes when people open the phone so you don’t replace them but they do sell replacement seals the phones not rated for anything
Nature Detective Minecraft nope the waterproof seal is with the 7 and up. It would have been much easier to open it with a suction cup. I did this serveral times without heating it.
Michael Reimann it does have waterproofing. You must have used force.
Michael Reimann I repair iPhones and I was cringing when he was heating it up 😆
Nature Detective Minecraft Research things before you comment Minecrafter
I'm not there in the video, so I don't know how it turns out, but you can't swap the Touch ID as it's paired with the motherboard so if you replace the screen, you'll have to swap the touch ID over. On the other hand, do not try to disconnect the screen with the battery attached (obviously if you did, it's too late to warn you... that would ruin the motherboard and/or loose touchID functionality).
**EDIT: you swapped over the TouchID, well done.
Great Video On iPhone Repair. It's nice to see a good POV to further my knowledge
Thanks for doing the vid my mate VINCE
I like your video vince my dad says you don't try to fix it but I like your video☺☺👍👍
You might wanna check on doing a iPhone 6s housing shell swap with a iPhone 8 housing shell that is ment to have the iphones6s guts in it would be a really cool video to see but you would have to take apart the whole phone but the end result would look so amazing
The iPhone 6 is pretty damn durable. I have a friend with one. She is a first grade teacher, and uses it constantly to take photos of her class, and to play games and use social media during breaks. She drops the thing probably 5 times a day, on a tile floor, and her 5 grandchildren play with the thing. Not so much as a chip, or crack in the screen! She also carries / hangs it by the charge cord without any issues. That 6s is a freaking tank. If my iPhone x is half as sturdy, I'm good to go........
you MUST disconnect the battery when you're messing arround with ribbon cables. and dont use metal screwdrivers to pull up connections, you have the plastic pry tools for a reason. use them
You need to disconnect the battery before the screen or you will dry the back light that's why you cant see anything
Just a little tipp: it often helps to convert the original metal plate (behind the screen ) on to the 3th party screen ... if anyone have problems with a screen replacement not working after repair .. that atleast worked for me.
Ps.: its always a good idea to copy over everything of the original screen (camera modul,speakers,touch id button, metal plate..)
Always use iFixit guides to repair electronics
A Pentelope screw I believe they are called. Did you put the right SIM card holder in the right phone.
Siri is likely not working because of water damage. There is a forward facing microphone near the ear piece that is used by Siri. My iPhone got a bit of water in there and Siri only picked up static. After replacing the forward facing microphone, Siri worked just fine.
In Germany we call the screwdriver TORX. Nice to see the UK IPhone does show Deutsch instead of German :D Greetings
Really like the fix it videos, always learn something. I’d suggest making some kind of rig to hold your camera above a table. Would give a good top down view and hopefully wouldn’t have to keep moving the camera around so much. Could even make a video on a how to make a rig on the cheap ;)
Got very lucky by guessing that unlock code. Similar thing happened to me where I bought an iPad and it was activation locked once I tried setting up. I noticed I could put in a passcode to remove the ICLOUD LOCK but I had to many goes and it disabled that function. But thankfully the seller (trusted me with his account) and sent me his details to unlock it as he forgot. But this feature of using unlock code was introduced in iOS11 I beleive.
Love this series
I know this is an old video but while watching it I realized you never Disconnected the battery before replacing the two screens back on the phones which will render the screens either in operable or they just won’t turn on so what you need to do is plug in the screen first then plug the battery in and the screen will always come on if not damaged Also with the Siri I noticed that you weren’t allowing Siri the two second delay that she always does before speaking that’s why She was only taking the last two words of your sentence. And Lastly any screen that is not Apple original parts is gonna look very different from the original screen,In visual quality and functionality. Never disconnect reconnect the screen without disconnecting the battery. great videos bro ,I love em.
Quick tip: If you're not in a hurry you can order a free sim for 3 Mobile on their website.
nice work always enjoy your videos and thank you Vince
Usually you can get a pick in there without using heat it doesn’t damage anything. But if you use heat and you just get it a little to hot you can do all kinds of damage
There is an iCloud activation bypass that allows you to unlock it with all zeros that on certain versions of iOS for the 6s and plus models. Apple quickly patched that security issue, but it’s too late for some prior owners. Great feature, yea?
Hey Vince, how difficult is it to change an Ipod battery, hope you can do a video on this.
I think this is the best youtuber...
Blimey this one is a bit ambitious Vincent!
You won’t be able to swap the homebutton, because the Touch ID is bound to the logicboard😕
Always unhook the battery before the screen. Can blow backlight ..there is always 70 volts to 96 volts on that backlight line. Even when phone is off. Volts depends on how bright the screen is...
I think you were right about the screens. I'm almost definite that is a after market screen.
I got my screen replaced on my i7 and I can defiantly tell it's a after market one because there are a lot of things that are off + it broke again very very easily.
You should have asked for a deal on the iCloud locked one, like when he offered you a refund you could have asked for a partial. iCloud locked devices are often the most useful though, if you can get them cheap enough you can buy an iPhone that is totally destroyed (as long as the logic board is ok) and transfer over the logic board.
I think the camera module is broken, and it would make sense because the microphone and camera is one unit together. My friend had this exact problem with his microphone and camera broken, and getting the camera unit replaced fixed it.
@47:30 The screen in the middle looks to be an original Apple branded screen that was refurbished with new glass over the actual screen. Hence why it doesn't look as white around the screen.
beside a cload-lock , you cant switch the touch-id , this parts are hard-coded
You have to change home button also, because it is locked to the motherboard. You don't need heat for iphone 6. You need to sort and keep in order all screws because they are different and if you switch them might burn the phone
Great job Vince =D Amazing luck with the PIN number there to unlock lol
Vince little tip wile taking off a Iphone Display just use a sucktion Cup to pull the screnn up abit and us a tool around the screan to Disassemble and by Apple always disconect the Battery before working on it...Great video like always thumbs up
Love the fix it videos!
there is no point of adding the heat but the screws are different lenght and if you put longer screw to short nut you can short power rails so on iphone always make sure you keep them in order ... also fingerprint is locked to the motherboard so you need to change circuit board under button too (just exchange small pcb behind button) and if displays are good everything should work fine
Idk what you’re all talking about with this Touch ID swap question. You can use any home button as long as you don’t mind not using Touch ID function. Otherwise they will function normally. To change that PCB behind the home button is surgical god mode soldering and is not feasible.
home button is nothing more than a tactile switch and a plastic button ... ofcource i am talking about Touch ID this board is easy to swap and it is a must if you want everithing to work as new ... anyway to me iPhones are trash for money ... i prefer 1000 times more Android phone ... even windows phones are beter than iphone ... even no brands chinese software phones are beter
These are so entertaining and insightful :)
Awesome fix as always
opening pliers (with 2 suckers) makes the job SO much easier! :)
I’m so happy that I found your channel. You have helped me a ton. Cheers mate
Hi Vince, could you maybe link down in one of the next videos your tool set that you're using? Trying to find of those good sets with also triwing bits, but only find trashy ones mostly. Yours looks really good qualitywise and also pretty handy. thanks in advance and keep going on like that! Really love your videos!
I noticed this from the start the rose gold iPhone 6s is water damaged. You can tell because there is not supposed to be anything red in the iPhone. The only thing that will turn red is the water indication markers and they are red so the iPhone is water damaged. Hint that’s why the screen don’t work. And I used to fix all different types of iPhones and apple products.
If this proves anything, it proves what a pain these phones are to fix. I have had iPhones since 2009. Waiting for the 12 to be delivered. I never take them apart or have issues with them but may have just jinxed myself.
You need an isesame tool for opening these easily. the 6s has an adhesive waterproof seal which is why they were a bit sticy to open, the iPhone 6 doesn't have that seal and is easier.
also, remember to disconnect batteries on these repairs before doing anything else.
Wow... you're one very lucky bastard :D:D:D If that battery would have been loaded and connected when you swapped the screen, you might have ended up killing the motherboard. That is waaaay too lucky of you :D Congrats.
Nice one Vince great vlog
Plug it in to your computer and there should be a option to reset it. This will only work when you can not log in no more. However you must hold the power button and home button
I have the 6s as well. Absolutely great phone but beware of the battery. You Might need to replace it later on or buy a battery case
Vince I don't remember if you powered off and back on after you changed the screen the first time, as you did the second time.
Loved the video, i learned a lot 👍
Unless you've prerecorded this, it seems you've found an iCloud bypass, the method you used to get past the activation screen was the same one you can do to get past iCloud on 11.0.3, you probably wanna get a few people to test this because you may have found a security flaw, I could be wrong but that seems reasonably possible since its happened before.
Great video Vince.
Thanks :-)
Just so you know you cannot link any home button for Touch ID to the iPhone. The touch ID is only linked to the original logic board it is shipped with.
you must put the original touch id button in to the rose gold iphone and touch ID work again , when you change screen on iphones you must put the original home button on the new screen
You could use the 64gigs and replace the 16gigs, and make more Money. But its quite labor intensive (Strange Parts did it)
4Crafters If you do that the other phone will be iCloud locked
