 Posted: 10:16 - 18 May 2016 Post subject: Best source for an IPhone 6 plus screen and digitizer assemb |
 |
|
I'm getting a bit fed up with cheap Chinese faulty replacements now. First display/digitizer assembly developed a vertical red line after a week's use and the glass wasn't bonded properly to the screen.
I need the phone working as I have 2 land lines on constant divert to it. My old cracked screen was in a bit of a state, so I ordered another form the same Ebay seller, to replace so I could send the faulty one back.
Second screen was DOA, big vertical band down the centre and one of the display connectors was a right state and had been clearly had a bad repair attempted. (These are supposed to be "Grade A" new items). A reseat of the IC ribbon cables made no difference, so had to refit the first vertical line screen and wait for another to arrive.
This time, I didn't want to risk the same quality so picked another seller. The Paypal invoice contained the same email address as the first two faulty ones, bugger.
Third screen arrives and yep, faulty on arrival again and clearly been "repaired" or returned before. So had to refit screen 1 with vertical lines again. Now at this point you start wondering if it's not the screens at fault and it's me damaging them, but I can refit the vertical line fault screen and my old cracked on several times without issue.
So, 2 screens back so far, one to go. I've ordered another form a British seller which does look new, but needed the cameras, earpiece, home button etc transferring. The display looks fine, but the digitizer has a mind of it's own, often unresponsive in certain areas and sometimes has a mind of it's own. I'll try a refit later.
Is there anywhere I can buy an OEM quality screen assembly, because so far, I've not had a lot of luck buying cheap Ebay ones. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Static is easily removed from your body by touching earth.
Before you do anything, just touch an unpainted part of a radiator, like a bleed valve. This will discharge any static in your body instantly. If you have a carpeted room where you are working, just tap it again after you have got up and walked around, before working on it again.
I'd bet it's not static though, sellers love to blame shit parts failing on static, as then it's on you and not them. |
I refitted the other slightly faulty screen I still have for 4 hours and then refitted this whilst wearing an anti static strap, to completely rule out the static excuse. Still the same fault, so I've had to remove all the ancillaries from the faulty screen to return it and refitted the slightly more usable but also faulty other screen.
Had an email reply from Elekworld Biny wanting to know how I heard about them before they sell to me. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Where abouts are you? I've always used a place called iPatch for this sort of thing, their prices aren't much more than the parts themselves (for the screen on my iPhone 5 and 6 anyway) and they're Apple accredited, so OEM bits.
They're only in Leeds though.

Hours of work and all that, probably means you'll wake to an email.
Just ask them for a foxconn screen and it will be oem. |
Thanks, have received the price list and ordered their top quality screen, "original best" and a screw kit as mine are getting a bit tired after about 7 or 8 screen fits.
I presume they come from Hong Kong, so I might have to delay the return of the red vertical line screen for a week or two.
Cheers for the contact. I normally only do PC repairs, but it could be handy if I can get phone parts for a customers too. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
