I have a iPhone X with a bad board.
I need it replace will my iCloud still be on it or do I need to reset it back up?
Generally the board isn’t bad, it’s just a component or a short of an open line causing whatever issue. That being said your iCloud is on that board. If you put another board in your iCloud won’t be on that board. Obviously make sure that the board you are installing doesn’t have a lock iCloud or otherwise
Is buying a logic board for an iPhone 11 on AliExpress a good idea?.
Does the board swap affect the camera functionality
There are 3 paired parts on the 1. The screen the battery and the Face ID assembly. If you have a donor phone and all you do is drop a logic board in you’ll end up with a screen message a battery message (and no battery health data) and Face ID will not be functional
@@repaironwheelsso what you‘re saying is, that keeping the original old parts (screen, Id-camera & Accu) will also lead to all these false parts messages, even if or although you have original parts in your phone ? So these 3 parts are in every individually single (newer) iPhone straight connected with each other ?
did you buy it on aliexpress? if yes was it a good deal?
@@BoyWandaacurrently waiting for an iPhone 12 one with Face ID, hope it works
Thanks for the video. I dropped my iPhone 13 and it's crashed would it work if i moved my motherboard to a newer iPhone 13 with iCloud issues
You’ll have to elaborate on what you mean by crashed. Assuming the board in it crashed iphone is fine and the parts in that iCloud locked phone are fine, go for it. I do motherboard swaps all the time
Bro I watched your video where u replace the stuck power button just wondering how much would it cost me to get the same job
75 plus shipping
Is there any way to dismiss fake display message
Outside of using the original paired parts (screen battery front or rear camera) no
Could I transplant a 2G logic board I want to salvage to a working iPhone 2G?
Absolutely. There aren’t any paired parts on that model
Can changing logicboard bypass icloud lock
iCloud lock is specific to each motherboard so yes. As long as the board you are replacing it with doesn’t have an iCloud lock than you are good to go. Hopefully you find a board with all of the matching components (Face ID, ear speaker, screen, battery, camera, rear camera)
I just changed motherboard and face id doesn't work. Is there any way to fix it
Did you buy a board with the Face ID components. Or just the board only
where is the best place to buy a phone motherboard
The whole point of the video is it’s a bad idea. Just take the loss and sell whatever phone you have for parts
How do you go about pricing when trying to sell? Do you sell at current refurbished market price?
I am for a minimum profit, obviously more if I can get away with it. There are times I will sell the same model/spec for different prices depending on how much I have into one vs the other. Or how impatient I am
Hey, I have a iPhone that works with any carrier but is all broken but it turns on and someone is selling me other iPhone same model at a great deal but is carrier lock and there is other iPhone that has iCloud lock so my question is if can I just swap motherboard or do you recommend something special to do? I’m new to this! Thank you!!
This is a great example of a perfect use of a parts phone. Drop the logic board of the unlocked device into the carrier locked/iCloud locked device and you’re good to go
@@repaironwheels thankyou so much
Would it work for say... An IPhone 5S or a 4S since those usually lack any form of software locks.. 5S boards come with the matching home button (*i think*)
Unfortunately not. iOS 7 introduced activation lock. And pretty much every device is on 7 or newer 😔
@@repaironwheels i meant for hardware based software locks like trutone, battery, screen etc...
I AM worried these listing's will send me a defective board.. Which sucks because i want to repair as many iPhone 4s as possible
Thank you so much for the video, does the faceid doesn't work on any board replacement of iphone models? I saw on aliexpress they sell with or without faceid but if doesn't even work what's the point of even doing that ?
Face ID is paired to the device. In order to retain it you need their front camera assembly (all models) and the ear speaker flex (12 series and older). As long as you have that component and it’s mot damaged Face ID should work
@@repaironwheels thank you so much for answering ❤️
@kkx9438 of course
thank you for the details, if i buy an iphone 12mini or 14 motherboard from aliexpress and replaced to iphone lost icloud without face id is will worked if i add an apple id and update it, like a new iphone without problems.
thank you previously😍
👍
@@repaironwheels thanks but you didn't replied to my question
I didn’t understand your question. Can you reframe it
@@repaironwheelsAfter purchasing this motherboard, can I format the phone without facing problems such as iCloud lock appearing?
@flashback7677 as long as the board you are replacing with doesn’t have an iCloud lock, you’ll be fine
Is it worth it trying to get a memory IC problem fixed for an iPhone 11?
Only if you are trying to recover data
Is it possible to put an iPhone 13 pro logic board on a iphone 13 pro max?
Nope. They are different sizes. Some of
The flex’s won’t fit properly
@@repaironwheels But if I somehow get all the flex cables in, will that work?
There are holes in the board that you secure down with a stand off screw. They are literally in different places from one to the other. The sim tray is in a different spot. The camera flex would come up too short. As would the power/volume flex and the charging port flex
@@repaironwheels 😭😭
Can we use the motherboard of iPhone 13 in another 13, will there be any issue?
Will there be no need to use any software? Because that is an unknown part, so tell me.
You can drop the motherboard from one 13 into the housing of another 13. If all you have is the motherboard, you will have 3 unknown part messages and no Face ID
But if the phone works then @@repaironwheels
Can you make a tutorial for the iPhone 12? I can't find a tutorial online and this one is great
Make a video for board swapping an iPhone 12? Or why it’s a bad idea
@@repaironwheels Make a video about board swapping the 12
Next time I get an iPhone 12 absolutely
I did a video on how to replace the wireless charging coil. You need to remove the board for that repair, In the mean time that video could easily sub for a board swap specific video

What part would I need to replace to have my iPhone working as if it was a brand new phone. No stored Apple ID created on it no nothing. It would turn on as if it was brand new out of the box. I want to buy and replace just that part, rather than buy a new iPhone in whole
The motherboard
Can i replace with 64gb no face id instead of 128gb face id?
@rynmynho5949 as long as you have a functional logic board to replace it with sure
@@repaironwheels my iphone is ip11 64gb with face is, u forgot the id, so if i buy the logic board but only 64gb with no face id..can sir?
Yes you can
Is it ”correct” to switch other iphone 11s motherboard to another iphone 11? Will there be any downsides like losing face id? Or can I prevent the face id loss by moving the front camera with the logicboard?
In order to retain Face ID you need to transfer front camera assembly + ear speaker flex along with the board
@@repaironwheels so to keep face ID working you need to transfer the same one from the other phone with the logic board? Or can I leave the Face ID and earpiece that I already have and just transfer the logic board from the other phone?
Face ID is paired to the original logic board. So using a new board with the oled Face ID wouldn’t work.
My iphone 15 pros motherboard was replaced how do i know if it was replaced?
I’m not sure I understand, you first started with a claim, and then sort of backtracked by asking a question that sort of undermined that initial claim.
How much would you spend on a donor logic board for an iPhone 11?
Less than 75
@@repaironwheels good to know most are 80+ and I didn't want to over spend. Already spent 25-30 for the phone that is missing it..... Along with a backglass/LCD repair the profit margin is minimal.
if i bought a motherboard with her own face id would the face id work then,
and if yes ,, what i should buy along with the mother board to fix all the issues thamks
Face ID should work as long as it’s the original that was paired to the device, the person that disassembled the device didn’t damage it, same goes for you installing it.
Bro i have 2 12 and one is lock and 2nd is mine so can i change motherboard with lock iphone
That’s actually one of the few scenarios where this makes sense. Only because you know where the “good” motherboard is coming from
how do i get the glass off without cracking it? & is passfab unlocker a scam? i already paid for it & spent over 20 hours trying to get into this locked phone, im not versed in ITsoftware but i im a pretty good tinker ,so i figured i can put this puzzle togyher n swap all yhe pieces except the frame n front/back glass. would i still have to plug it into the computer or should it power on with my passcode & lock screen. id love that but it sounds too good to be true. if i had it id pay anybody else to do it.
i was given recently the exact same iphone 11pro like i had cracked (still functional at about 10% visual capacity) & same color only issues i think are that its in spanish and idk how to remove the glass on these models and if the motherboard n speaker are the only things i need to swap bc of the found one being locked & spanish?
It’s definitely not locked to Spanish. You can change the language. I have a full tear down on the 11 pro max which is almost identical to the 11 pro That should help you get an idea on how to swap the logic board from phone to phone

Hey
I have a iphone 13 pro max with icloud locked
Can i swap the logic board
Will that remove icloud lock also will i be able to update the iPhone to the lastest software'
iCloud status is specific to each board. Assuming the board you are replacing it with isn’t iCloud locked and doesn’t have any issues than yes you should be fine. Same goes for software update
@@repaironwheels oke so will I be able to update my phone.
If I swap the logic board
Will the Face ID work after the swapping is done? If the logic board is from the same model as the damaged one
Will this remove the password as well?
The passcode/iCloud/etc is attached to the motherboard. As long as the board you are replacing it with doesn’t have a passcode you’re good
Hi where did you purchase the motherboard, i would like to buy one
Facebook group for other repair shops
@@repaironwheels can i buy one of you?
I bought a board for purpose of making a video to showcase all of the reasons you shouldn’t. For that reason I don’t sell logic boards
Ako je možne že v tej servisnej histórii vám ukazuje len displej a batériu, face id prečo nehlási žiadny problém ?
this person is asking why it didnt show a face id error message:
i wish i had a better answer but i have no idea, i filmed that video over 18 months ago so the specifics are escaping me. its safe to assume its not functional though
Prial by som si lepšiu odpoveď, ale nemám potuchy, to video som nakrútil pred viac ako 18 mesiacmi, takže podrobnosti mi unikajú. je bezpečné predpokladať, že nie je funkčný
I bought a second hand iPhone 12, thought it was clean at an auction. I'm planning on doing this. Do you think it will work the same way
The bare necessity for your repair is a logic board that’s not iCloud activation locked. Ideally a board with comes with the front camera and ear speaker so you can retain Face ID functionality. Even more ideal is: front camera + ear speaker + rear camera + battery so you can avoid apples stupid ‘unknown part’ messages.
@@repaironwheels wait so I need earpiece for face ID functionality, why tho. And won't replacing everything just the same as a new phone
To retain Face ID in a 12 you need not only the front camera but the ear speaker flex as well. On top of that if you don’t have the original screen, rear camera or battery, you will have an ‘Unknown’ part message for each component l. Those features will still work, you’ll just have an annoying message in settings
@@repaironwheels as long as it's functional right those messages won't hinder the overall experience and also if buy the motherboard and face ID are both include is the earpiece flex included automatically. Wow thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it, much love bro❤️
You lose True Tone with a new screen eve if it’s oem Apple (unless you buy the $100 programmer). You’ll also lose battery health in settings unless you spot weld the daughter board to the new battery. I’ve done many repairs exactly like this and the vast majority of customers aren’t bothered by it if there is a decent amount of savings to justify the loss of those two functionalities.
Hello sir, if we replace the logic board of iphone 13pro,how we can remove the unknown part errors permanently? please help and reply soon 😢
You would need to use the original parts that the device was paired with. Or at a minimum transfer what you can: battery bms, screen ic. Or live with the original part messages.
@@repaironwheels Actually bro my logic board is working completely fine but it got icloud activation locked, it's global iphone so I don't have bill of that iphone, now it's icloud locked, please tell me the solution what i can do ☹️😭☹️😭
@RaoSahabIPS there isn’t a solution, sell it for parts. Or find a non locked board and drop it and deal with the messages. Or transfer the screen ic and battery bms or pay someone. Those are pretty much your only options
Where do you buy your 📱 to flip?
Customers I ask at the during the repair, offerup/Craigslist/Facebook, or Facebook groups. Also whenever I list something on offerup I leave a comment at the bottom saying I buy phones, on the back of my car I have a decal. Just to name a few
@@repaironwheels is there a quick check you do to see if it's water damaged?
Most newer models have the liquid damage sticker next to the sim. Pop out the tray and flip the phone over and there’s a little slot
What was wrong with the phones original motherboard
iCloud lock
@@repaironwheels so swapping out the motherboard will remove icloud
@@repaironwheels thanks for replying so quickly by the way ❤️
iCloud is a server based lock and specific to each motherboard. As long as you have a known good board without an iCloud activation lock, you’re good to go. But there are far too many downsides which is why I suggest not doing so in the video
@@repaironwheels is there anyway to buy a new motherboard with no motherboard at all
Where do we get the iphone 11 board from? Any legit referrals??
Ebay is the first place I would suggest. Just make sure to read the description and ask questions if something isn’t immediately obvious. Also pay with a credit card or PayPal so you have recourse if something happens
The one I found in the video was sourced from a Facebook group for repair shop owners. So if you are a repair shop owner that’s the second place I would point to you towards
@@repaironwheels thank you brother
Here to serve
I need iPhone 11 motherboard
You can buy an entire iPhone 11 for around 200 or less. Generally the pros don’t outweigh the cons with buying motherboards. That was the entire point to the video
Hello, I changed motherboard which was icloud locked, and then there is written about battery and screen like in yours and can u tell me how can I understand if battery is original and display
Apple shows those messages if any part other than the one that was originally paired from the factory is installed. So your parts may very well be genuine but thanks to apples anti repair practices you are stuck with those messages
Comment
Thank you
where can i buy the logic board you used in the video? im lookiing for an 11 logic board for cheap
Im in a Facebook group for other repair shop owners which is how I found that one. Generally I suggest eBay so that you have some recourse if the board is bad
@@repaironwheels all the ones I’ve seen o. eBay a around like 150-200 and I just can’t afford that. Do you recommend any cheaper places because I have an iPhone 11 that one of my friends game me but he doesn’t remember the iCloud password and it’s blacklisted so I’m looking for a motherboard that I’ll just need to interchange so that I can use it
I’d cut your losses if you have any. It’s far too easy to scam someone by selling them a board that you have no way of verifying it’s good or not until it’s in the phone. Also: if I had a clean board I would put it into another phone and sell that phone faster and easier than I could board only
Aliexpress
What cellphone repair shop/person sells a logicboard that is not icloud locked for $50. He could do the same thing you're doing. Either you are straight lying or you bought a sus phone and swapped the board.
I’m in a Facebook group with a bunch of other cell phone repair shop owners, which is where I got the board from.
The point of the video was to highlight all the reasons why regular people out there shouldn’t go looking for boards because there are far too many ways for them to get screwed. Cuz i get that question all the time from customers calling into my shop
