Why the Display Repair Warning for iPhone 11 series appears?
- Why the Display Repair Warning for iPhone 11 series appears? The system will verify the touch module data during start up. Since the touch module is located on the back of the screen, screen replacement can result in a mismatch between the touch module data and the phone.
- The only workable solution by now is to solder the touch module of the original screen onto the new replacement screen.
- Also, since the touch module is located on the back of the screen, traditional desoldering tools can easily damage the screen. We will adopt a new chip grinding tool today.
- Stick high-temperature tape around the touch module on the replacement screen. Then wrap the screen with protective film.
- Now we will grind the touch module with the electric chip grinding tool.
- Be patient during the grinding. Start with the top layer then move on to the next layer. Also, be careful not to damage flex cables nearby.
- With solder joints coming out, stop the grinding work. Clean the bonding pad with PCB Cleaner soaked cotton swap afterwards.
- Now we need to remove the touch module on the original screen and solder it onto the new replacement screen.
- Remove the earpiece speaker and sensor flex cable on the original screen. Then put a piece of paper under the touch flex cable. Heat with Hot Air Gun and pry up the touch module on the original screen.
- Then apply low-temp solder paste to the touch module. Heat with Soldering Iron at 365℃ to clean residual solder paste and black adhesive. Clean thoroughly with Solder Wick afterwards. Then clean with PCB Cleaner.
- Continue to get the touch module reballed.
- Now we need to solder the reballing-finished touch module onto the replacement screen.
- Before soldering, insert a pry piece under the touch flex cable. For better operation, we can apply some alcohol here. The metal plate and paper are used here for heat insulation. So that the screen won’t be damaged by high temperature during soldering.
- Apply some paste flux to the bonding pad. Get the touch module in the right position. Solder with Hot Air Gun.
- Get the earpiece speaker and sensor flex cable installed.
- Now we can assemble the phone and test. Press the power button to turn on the phone. Go to Settings>About. There is no more Important Display Message here
