100% this is perfect fix..i done it yesterday after watching video and phone is perfect since..i was freezing every 2 seconds and pressing buttons by itself and now its working like new 👌👌😎 thank you
Followed step by step and took care to make sure and get the heat to evenly heat up the chip and it seems to have worked. Still testing so will update once some time has passed. Also, once I finished heating it, I placed a piece of electrical tape over the ic chips just to keep them in place. I know it'ñ might not be a permanent fix, but if it works for a little while longer I'll be happy! Thanks for the video!
Just want to say, Thank you so much for this video!! My phone was getting unusable it was happening all the time. I followed this vid exactly, 30 sec, 3 times, phone has been perfect for almost 3 weeks now!! I waited some time before writing this to make sure and issue hasn't happened at all since. This is the REAL fix. The disassembly instructions you linked are great too.
Had the exact same issue. Will try this now. Ofc. my iphone is just lying arround these days. After this happened to my 2 year old iphone 6plus *(A 1000$ phone!!!)* I immediately switched to Android. At this pricepoint this is simply unacceptable. I have an entire graveyard of apple products. all died bc. of simple mechanical engineering issues that i could have fixed as an undergrad 1 year at colledge! They either have 0 good mechanical engineers, or they don't listen to them. My guess is that design department and management always gets the upper hand in the meetings... screw apple!
If you want to know what killed the other products: Product - Cause of death - how long did it last Macbook pro 2011 - Overheating - 4.5 years I pad mini 2012 - Grey screen - 2 years (to the week) Mac Pro 2013 - Overheating - 2.5 years I phone 6 plus - Bendgate - 2 years Which was the final straw! If you follow the timeline, you'll have noticed that almost all my devices gave out ~ 2016... Which extra sucked! Never ever again buy from apple. You have been warned :) Ofc. i also had the apple tv 'blinking light for ever' issue after 2 years and all apple crap cables only lasted 1 year, dead earphones and a lot of other small overpriced shit that died randomly, but that's not my main concern. I now have switched mostly to ASUS, Acer and Dell. Can recommend. Especially the Zenphone is fast and has 0 issues!
Wow..it worked like magic. Thank you Lucas. When i approached two mobile phone service centers, they both told me to replace my iphone screen. But then I told one of them to try the method you showed in above video and it worked.
The pressure you applied "fixed" the fracture in the solder joint. More a less you could have just pushed your finger on it and accomplished the same thing. If the solder under that chip had gotten hot enough to melt they pressure you applied would have pushed the BGA solder out and bridged all the connections under that IC. Get your phone fixed correctly. I6 cumulus most of the time is the issue. i6+ Meson is usually the issue and more specifically a faulty pad under Meson.
i had this problem and stumbled upon this video, as you mentioned i just pressed with a rubber to do an even pressure, the touch was not working at all, and now all is back working. Lets see how long it will take.
they do not agree, the heat melts slightly the pond and brings it back to the initial situation, in fact you can smell the dissolved tin when applying this guide, it also produces a lot of heat on the chip, the same as is achieved with a thermally hot air gun
Well, i havent applyed heat to it, just pressure, and it made it work well for a month or so, then i came back to the same situation (as i predicted it would happen), so what i did was press the phone (without opening it) untill it stop doing the problem, then i took it to a store that pay back for used iphones when you buy a new iphone and bought an iphone 7 with 3 years of extra guarantee. And for all the research i did after, i discovered that there is no fix for the problem, as after the first bend the phone gets more and more pliable and fragile. It is an structural thing!
i fully agree with you that this is the best way to fix, but i think that the problem will come back sooner or later as the phone will bend more and more.
Thanks for the video. Well I just did your method and the electrical tape together. Phone powered up and screen is working so far. I will check back for time to time on the status, thanks again.
Hey - I was skeptical but had nothing to lose by attempting this fix. Lo and behold..it worked. My Iphone 6 is now working. Hopefully will stay that way until IPhone 8 is out. Thx
Tried it and it worked. The only difference is I did it also to the touch transmitter chip above the touchscreen controller chip in your video, so I hit both chips.
I did this fix which sort of helped out. Before the fix, the touch screen wouldn't work at all. Now it will intermittently work. Whenever the gray bars come down from the top of the screen I can just bend the phone a little and that will fix it. Rinse and repeat. Apple should fix these diseased iPhones for free. Not our fault for a design flaw.
Tried already and successful so far. I think an important point is you need to apply pressure right after you remove the heat, so that the metal set attaching the IC to the board
I took the motherboard out, put a piece of electrical tape on the correct chip, placed a finger on the chip while gently bending the motherboard back to being straight again and I haven't had any issues yet. Take a look at the straightness of the little brackets that hold the mobo and adjust as needed. Did that 4 days ago and its good as new.
Thanks bro. It worked. I purchased a solder gun for only 5 bucks. today my phone was irresponsive to all touch as for months it was acting up until it had no response. now it works!
Wow Lucas this really fixed it. I almost didn't try it because it seemed like a long shot since touch disease is usually associated with a gray bar along the top, but this phone didn't have that. Also when I opened it up I saw some spots that looked kind of overheated/burned, which I thought might be a bigger issue. I found a spot of gold solder or something that normally has a little thermal sticker on it and the sticker had been smudged away and off of it too. I put that back and I proceeded with the soldering trick even though my mind had been trying to tell me it was just that sticker. It might have been, but doubtful. Your trick saved this phone and now my Mom can use it to save money by switching to Xfinity Mobile! Thank you. Also - since this worked for me I went ahead and liked and subscribed. You earned it!
Thanks! Helpful video; I took my phone out of the case and squeezed it pretty hard at the spot the chip sits. This seemed to fix it just fine. I wanted to share this for people to try first before taking your phone apart. Cheers!
pretty much! I just took my phone out of the case and pressed it between both hands pretty firmly, held it for a few seconds and it worked. I've had to do it again since last month but it's way easier than taking apart. I'm also just buying time to get a new phone since I'm due for an upgrade.
Thanks for sharing this, I did it today and the touch is back. Did the same but 4 times 30 secs and I've also put a small rubber peace behind the ship to keep more pressure on it. Working great for now! Gracias amigo👍🏼
I did this method, and also the tape method but it hasnt fixed my issue, which is half of the display doesnt respond to touch and a few other small areas as well, is this maybe the screen and not this chip?
Thanks for this vid! Have not tried it yet... possible to post a LINK to the solder tool you purchased? Also, why do you only touch the chip with the screw? Does the aluminum foil have to 'melt' or does it just end up sticking to the chip and that's when you know it's good to go? I believe having a very tight protective case possibly contributes to the development of this issue (and when the case is removed it seems to occur less) I believe removing the metal plate over connectors helped me out a bit, and also helped (more quickly) to get it to stop flickering. HOWEVER, what helped even more, was adding one piece of electrical tape folder and in-between connectors and plate. When I did this I was only able to screw in 2 of the screws.. but I don't care because this helped much more (less flicker, easier to stop it when it occurs, etc., and only requires a slight pressure on the EDGE of phone near the chip). Also, when you're twisting phone to get the Flicker to stop, you may see the grey bar disappear.... but the Touch still doesn't work.... and I've noticed that sometimes you need to then hit the power-button (upper right side) and use the thumb-login or dial pad to log in to the phone, and then it works for whatever reason. If you don't do this method, or send in for micro-soldering repair, this flicker will not stop... sorry to say. I've been dealing with this for about 1 year, and it has it's good moments, but lately it has gotten much worse. While I had it open, I ended up replacing the battery.... BE CAREFUL DOING THIS.... make sure you SLOWLY remove the sticky/tabs, because if they snap too soon, you'll have the adhesive beneath the battery and you'll have to PRY it out and this will be very difficult and dangerous (potential ACID if you cut into the battery). Also, purchase your adhesive tape FIRST, because you will need this and your replacement battery probably won't arrive with the strips.
hey, I bought a really cheap soldering iron like this one: goo.gl/YJ1QEQ The aluminum is just there to transfer the heat more evenly on the chip surface thats all. It is the solder underneath the chip that melts but you can't see it.
Thanks, Lucas! I think I understand... are you saying that once you apply the heat 3 times at 30 seconds each, you then just remove the aluminum piece and assume the solder melted and fixed the issue... and then put it all back together to test it out? Also, why do you use the screw on the solder tool? is that to apply less heat to the chip?
Your trick of heating upto 30 seconds just melted all the connections beneath the touch IC and the molten metal came out from the sides. The phone ended up in dustbin.
I like your method to do reballing ic with soldering gun but what you said about the “heat gun” is wrong. You don’t put aluminum foil around ic to work with heat gun on ic because aluminum foil will transfer the heat that you apply to other components around ic. Because of this issue; pro’s use orange color insulating tape around ics in order to protect other components from heat.
I cannot believe this worked for me. It took me about 20 minutes, but I followed the steps exactly and it really seems remedied now. Wow. Thank you for being informative and quick to the point. This is what TH-cam is all about. Time will tell if it holds up. :)
You Sir are a genius. This totally worked. No comment on longevity as only just put back together but going from virtually unresponsive to full functionality has resulted in one very happy son. Many thanks for posting this.
My iPhone6 has low call volume, screen got blue lines, earphones spoiled even with so soft usage for 1 year. Shame on you Apple for making a pathetic product for such a high price. I regret buying Apple product.
um i started raging and smacking it against my hand which btw hurt badly. it started working now its not. I started beating it up and even bit it.. my teeth were a lot stronger then i expected i cracked the phone screen.. i have bad anger issues
Removed the case? Really? Ive been having the same problem for the past week and a half. And I just recently realized the whole "Touch Disease" problem. I've been breaking my head cause I do not have Apple Care anymore and I really don't want to pay close to the same amount I payed for the phone inicially. So I am curious in how removing the case worked for you.
If anyone has a glass like screen protector, remove it. That was my issue the screen protector was making the phone unresponsive for some reason. After removal, it's working like new. Do this if you haven't. I mean, hey it's worth a shot since this iPhones are expensive give it a try.
Hi Bro, does this solution still work till today? I have tried other solutions they only worked for some days and then the problem came back. Im refering to the solution where I have to put an electric tape on the IC.
Hi, I have this problem too, and it happened after I replaced my battery. To do that I disconnected the "connectors" (the 4 connectors/cables) so that I could take off the screen to properly deal with the battery. Judging from this helpful video, I realized that the chips that are not properly making contact and causing the "touch disease" are in fact placed on the logic board DIRECTLY BENEATH the area where the connectors are connected to the logic board. Thus, my suggestion/question is that disconnecting and later connecting the connectors may "cause" the issue in the first place (by pulling up the connectors and/or pushing the connectors back on later) - does this make sense?
can i ask a help, ive been using my phone for almost 1yr and then my back cam got broken sa i need to change a new back then after i fix it after 1day my phone sometimes got freeze and sometimes i can touch it can u know what is the problem of this? my lcd is fine
just replaced my screen and im having that exact issue only the very bottom of the touch screen is not responsive which is making it difficult to use most apps (also cant swipe up the control window from the bottom of screen) did you come across any solutions for this by any chance ?
I think it's there just to hold the connectors in place.... but more of a 'formality'... I'm not saying it has NO effect, but I'm thinking it's safe to keep it OFF if it helps. I don't see the risk of exposure.... I don't see how anything internally would create an issue for the exposed connectors. If you screen goes black when you're trying to twist to stop flickering, then you could open up and probably see the right-side connector needs to be re-seated.
It worked on my phone for a while, but recently the screen started becoming unresponsive again and has a mind of its own (tapping on apps, making phone calls, etc...)
Imagine having to FIX ur touchscreen and take the phone apart because Apple has bad design and is too lazy to even admit that it was their mistake. If you are going for an iphone I beg you buy anything BUT an iphone 6.
okay its happening to my iphone 6s and its just doing everything by its own like going to Alarm and setting a timer for 2 Hours, or Opening the Calendar or the Weather, i have no idea what to do so i just turned it off til its gonna get a Reset
After doing this the screen on my iPhone started working again, but now after 2 weeks the screen no longer works at all, It is turned on and my computer detects the iPhone but the phone doesn't do anything not even vibrate or make noise when I call it. Could it be a logic board problem? I have already tried restoring it and holding power+home nothing works.
I tried your no soldering method and it worked for my phone. Thanks. However I observed my battery % does not drop while am using my phone until it's zero. Plausible is that .. whenever I plug my phone to power, its does not increase unless I reclip the battery. I have had to open my phone on daily basis because I want my phone to increase in battery %. Is there something I could have done wrongly
O'care repair lab sometimes i have had to restore my phone when a battery doesnt show correctly. And make sure it is a DFU restore. But it is rare, but i have seen it
@@AndersonChan if you have touch disease and it is unusable now, shat do you have to lose? if you try this, it might be unusable (no different than now) or it might work (problem solved).
thanks bro for the solution but i did that and after remounting the board the keeps on rebooting,ends on the iphone logo and stars up again.what went wrong
Your idea is better than other guys. They put a pice of tape or plastic on the ic chip to pressure it together but their ideas didn’t work it last couple days only.
Another much easier solution is to place a nano SIM card under the thin metal cover that goes over the 4 display connectors. Search TH-cam for "arif iPhone 6 touch disease SIM card". The TH-camr is "arif" and it worked for me. My 6 plus had no touch response at all unless I applied pressure to bend the phone. Now it's perfect. I guess the SIM card is just thick enough to press the Touch IC on the flip side of the logic board, enough to make good the connectors. (I've typed this on my "repaired" 6 plus.
Joshua Huang, the problem described here is in one of the ICs in the board. You will solve it if you replace the logic board, however it will be expensive
I did exactly what you said and my phone is working perfectly. Thank you for sharing the nice MacGyver trick to fix it. That shit was money. Much love brother! \m/
Guys and girls, try this at your own risk
HI does this work with IPHONE 6S as well ?

My guess is that design department and management always gets the upper hand in the meetings... screw apple!
If you want to know what killed the other products:
Product - Cause of death - how long did it last
Macbook pro 2011 - Overheating - 4.5 years
I pad mini 2012 - Grey screen - 2 years (to the week)
Mac Pro 2013 - Overheating - 2.5 years
I phone 6 plus - Bendgate - 2 years
Which was the final straw!
If you follow the timeline, you'll have noticed that almost all my devices gave out ~ 2016... Which extra sucked!
Never ever again buy from apple. You have been warned :)
Ofc. i also had the apple tv 'blinking light for ever' issue after 2 years and all apple crap cables only lasted 1 year, dead earphones and a lot of other small overpriced shit that died randomly, but that's not my main concern.
I now have switched mostly to ASUS, Acer and Dell. Can recommend. Especially the Zenphone is fast and has 0 issues!

If this issue is so common like this, why Apple won't do a recall?
cuz they dont want to admit that they fucked up
Because Apple is a dick company.
Because they can make more money by you throwijg away the iphone 6 you bought and buying a better phone
Because it only happens if you drop your phone a couple of times, so it’s ‘not Apple’s fault’
they just bother about making money

um i started raging and smacking it against my hand which btw hurt badly. it started working now its not. I started beating it up and even bit it.. my teeth were a lot stronger then i expected i cracked the phone screen.. i have bad anger issues
orlando i’m dealing with the same problem and i did the very same 😂 j hit it, threw it and bit it
I have worse anger issues. I busted the entire phone by chucking it at a wall because my mom yelled at me
I slammed mine because I couldn’t answer a phone call lmaoo
My 6 plus has the touch disease and the way I make it work it's by removing the case! That's my phone maybe it won't work for everyone
Thank you! You are a hero and that solved my issue.
You saved my brothers life
Removed the case? Really? Ive been having the same problem for the past week and a half. And I just recently realized the whole "Touch Disease" problem. I've been breaking my head cause I do not have Apple Care anymore and I really don't want to pay close to the same amount I payed for the phone inicially. So I am curious in how removing the case worked for you.
cases sometimes bend the phone in a weird way,giving the phone weird pressure to the touch ic
saved myself from smashing my phone. legend.
If anyone has a glass like screen protector, remove it. That was my issue the screen protector was making the phone unresponsive for some reason. After removal, it's working like new. Do this if you haven't. I mean, hey it's worth a shot since this iPhones are expensive give it a try.
Need to punch my phone in the face for it to work lol
Same lol
Same here
Smacking worked temporarily for like a minute or two but once I tried smacking it again and shattered the whole screen because the screen loosened up
Lol same here
In my toe
Thanks Lucas for this video. I just done it and my phone works like a charm now!
that's what I love to hear
this actually works👌😂 thank you👌🥳
I'm wondering if this fix also can apply to the audio IC on the iPhone 7
Mykhl Ellti good question
Hi Bro, does this solution still work till today? I have tried other solutions they only worked for some days and then the problem came back. Im refering to the solution where I have to put an electric tape on the IC.
Hi, I have this problem too, and it happened after I replaced my battery. To do that I disconnected the "connectors" (the 4 connectors/cables) so that I could take off the screen to properly deal with the battery. Judging from this helpful video, I realized that the chips that are not properly making contact and causing the "touch disease" are in fact placed on the logic board DIRECTLY BENEATH the area where the connectors are connected to the logic board. Thus, my suggestion/question is that disconnecting and later connecting the connectors may "cause" the issue in the first place (by pulling up the connectors and/or pushing the connectors back on later) - does this make sense?
can i ask a help, ive been using my phone for almost 1yr and then my back cam got broken sa i need to change a new back then after i fix it after 1day my phone sometimes got freeze and sometimes i can touch it can u know what is the problem of this? my lcd is fine
Same
my screen touch is goin crazy.
May 2017, helped me. Thanks Lucas. Working fine for 1 day, to replace IC would cost me 60-70$
Lucas I am having iPhone 6 and I am having this issue ..so by heating the IC ..is the solution for permanent or temporary
Well I tried. Let see if it holds up.
Hi! Currently having this issue. What alternative did you use if you dont have soldering iron?
I would just buy the cheapest one from ebay
How to fix this problem on iPhone 5s

Same buddy
hi, so the bottom of my iphone 6 is not working ( i cant open control center, press space) will this method work? is this also a touch disease?
just replaced my screen and im having that exact issue only the very bottom of the touch screen is not responsive which is making it difficult to use most apps (also cant swipe up the control window from the bottom of screen) did you come across any solutions for this by any chance ?
Mine had this problem, is it a bad idea to just leave the metal plate off the sensors? Every time I put it back on the flicker happened?!
Don't know what to say there.I think the protector is there for a reason, but if it woks for you then yeah just try
I think it's there just to hold the connectors in place.... but more of a 'formality'... I'm not saying it has NO effect, but I'm thinking it's safe to keep it OFF if it helps. I don't see the risk of exposure.... I don't see how anything internally would create an issue for the exposed connectors. If you screen goes black when you're trying to twist to stop flickering, then you could open up and probably see the right-side connector needs to be re-seated.
I liked your video thanks man! Will it work for my iPhone 6 Plus as well?
yes it should, try at your own risk though
Hi 👋 how will I fix my Iphone working on its own ?
My iPhone will make calls are text on its own?
It worked on my phone for a while, but recently the screen started becoming unresponsive again and has a mind of its own (tapping on apps, making phone calls, etc...)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The easy way it’s also a way let’s try 😊
Imagine having to FIX ur touchscreen and take the phone apart because Apple has bad design and is too lazy to even admit that it was their mistake.
If you are going for an iphone I beg you buy anything BUT an iphone 6.
please reply me!
I have a iphone 6s. When i touch the screen it start to spin or automatically opening apps. How to fix that 😭😥
oh thank god! I just found whats wrong with it 😅 my charger is duplicate. its
Output is 1v = 1A. My mom's phone charger output is 1v = 1.55A 😅
so how did u fix it? please help
my iphone(7plus) it has same problem it works properly but suddenly not working after lock and open.. it work propely....
how can i fix it?????
Any update on this now? Is your phone still fixed up to now? I'm currently having this issue :(
Hi Jin, I don't have the phone anymore but it worked fine for the months I had it
Is it possible to have this problem if your iPhone 6 plus doesn't display gray line ?
okay its happening to my iphone 6s and its just doing everything by its own like going to Alarm and setting a timer for 2 Hours, or Opening the Calendar or the Weather, i have no idea what to do so i just turned it off til its gonna get a Reset
How long is the interval meant to be? 10-15 seconds or straight away? thanks
My 6 has this problem I’m beyond slapping and sticking a piece of tape to the ic I will try this.....let’s hope I don’t completely destroy this thing
After doing this the screen on my iPhone started working again, but now after 2 weeks the screen no longer works at all, It is turned on and my computer detects the iPhone but the phone doesn't do anything not even vibrate or make noise when I call it. Could it be a logic board problem? I have already tried restoring it and holding power+home nothing works.
it it touch disease u should to change touch ic
Nice video!
Thanks for your comment! I personally watched your videos before I uploaded this one and inspired me to share my solution.
Lucas Guanes thanks for sharing another solution! The more we can educate people on how to fix this issue on a budget the better.
I tried your no soldering method and it worked for my phone. Thanks. However I observed my battery % does not drop while am using my phone until it's zero. Plausible is that .. whenever I plug my phone to power, its does not increase unless I reclip the battery. I have had to open my phone on daily basis because I want my phone to increase in battery %. Is there something I could have done wrongly
O'care repair lab sometimes i have had to restore my phone when a battery doesnt show correctly. And make sure it is a DFU restore. But it is rare, but i have seen it
Rody davis, will this work for me?
I’m not gonna open up the phone.
Why not?
Then don't do it lol
Lucas Guanes Im afraid I might break the phone.
@@AndersonChan if you have touch disease and it is unusable now, shat do you have to lose? if you try this, it might be unusable (no different than now) or it might work (problem solved).
True. I bought a new phone so it's ok, but good advice.
I replaced the ic chips on my iPhone 6+
I thought it is fixed permanently, but it came back after using for 3 months
Wow man, you are a pro, replacing the IC is no easy thing. I guess the iPhone 6 problems will eventually make the problem come back no matter what.
I could not able to fix it,iPhone is getting too much hot...It did not starting at all..Please help..
1:20
Rip me phone...
It workedd !!! Thank YOUUu!!!
nice!
I wish I had someone to do that for me, I can’t find anyone to do it for me
Heyy heyy pls reply I just change my battry and now I’m faceing touch problem and when I put my warm hand it start working possible reason
possilbly yes
What if you don't have the soldering iron? Is there another thing that I can use?
Does this work if I dropped my phone and only a certain part of my screen doesn’t work 100% of the time?
did you try it ? If yes , what happened ?
It works! :D thanks dude, hope it will last till new iPhone 8 comes out.
Nice to hear that!
When I touch my screen it moves and shaking-
Same mine does that too
Is It just the iPhone 6 Plus that has touch disease ? Or does the iPhone 6s Plus have It as well?
JAYAA just the 6 plus
Great tip man. Good job. Tks
thanks bro for the solution but i did that and after remounting the board the keeps on rebooting,ends on the iphone logo and stars up again.what went wrong
Your idea is better than other guys. They put a pice of tape or plastic on the ic chip to pressure it together but their ideas didn’t work it last couple days only.
Thanks brother. That's the reason I uploaded this video, because there was no better method
i don’t have these tools??? what do i do
It works more than 4 weeks so far
Wow so happy to hear that!
4:30 you said your soldering iron is already hot and then you touched the screw.
that's attention to detail!
Another much easier solution is to place a nano SIM card under the thin metal cover that goes over the 4 display connectors. Search TH-cam for "arif iPhone 6 touch disease SIM card". The TH-camr is "arif" and it worked for me. My 6 plus had no touch response at all unless I applied pressure to bend the phone. Now it's perfect.
I guess the SIM card is just thick enough to press the Touch IC on the flip side of the logic board, enough to make good the connectors. (I've typed this on my "repaired" 6 plus.
if none of these work, will replacing the logic board work?
Joshua Huang, the problem described here is in one of the ICs in the board. You will solve it if you replace the logic board, however it will be expensive
Can i use an Iron on this instead of a soldering iron?
I guess the principle s the same. The thing is how to transfer the heat to that tiny IC. And if it will get hot enough
I just bought a soldering iron. It's 30 watt
I did exactly what you said and my phone is working perfectly. Thank you for sharing the nice MacGyver trick to fix it. That shit was money. Much love brother! \m/
yes it does enter the mode
then try and restore with iTunes
