Currently in the middle of iphone 5 surgery! Need a little help.

Background
I dropped my phone in water a while ago and it was water damaged.  I plugged in my friends funcitoning screen into my phone and it worked.  So I knew it was my screen that was water damaged.
Recently I ordered a new screen on ebay.  It was not the whole front assembly (It excluded the front facing camera, home button, and heatsink/shield). 
After installing my old front facing camera, home button and what not, my phone still did not turn on...  (I charged it for 12 hours also)
MY QUESTION is, what could be the problem?
Possible Problems:
1. The battery is dead (wouldnt the phone still turn on if it is connected to a wall outlet?)
2. The front camera, home button etc. are damaged and somehow intefering with my phone
3. The screen I ordered from eBay is faulty.
4. ??????
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Iphones are not user serviceable and Apple does not sell spare parts to anyone ,that is your problem

  • I currently have the 1st generation iphone. I am looking into upgrade, which iphone do you suggest 3GS or the iphone 4?

    I currently have the 1st generation iphone. I am looking to upgrade, which iphone would you suggest?  iphone 3GS or the iphone 4?  other?  

    Yes!! I have been told by many to buy the 3GS iphone. They love it and tell me I would, too.  But thanks to you, Dad and Michele, for your information that you have provided; I will purchase the iphone 4. With the great Facetime feature, I will be able to use it with my daughter who is stationed in Japan with her husband. By the way, I keep hearing that Apple will be making iphone in white. When will that happen?  Thanks again!

  • How do I edit a video in the middle on iPhone 5s?

    I have an iPhone 5s. I have the iMovie app downloaded on it. How do I edit a video in the middle to delete some scenes using either iMovie to otherwise on the phone itself? All instructions I have researched tell me only how to trim the video from the edges.
    Thanks

    Hello, any help? Some one out there must have done this before.

  • Big white spot in the middle of iphone scree

    I had a problem with my iphone last night, i left it charging overnight and this morning it was still on but the screen was completely black and it wouldnt respond to anything that i did. I tried doing the typical restoring and connecting it to itunes to restore it through there and it wouldnt respond. After a few hours while i was looking for a solution it just turned completely off because it ran out of battery. Now everything is working but there is a big white blotch in the middle of the screen, but it seems to be a surface thing, because when i take screenshots it doesnt show up on there. Is there anyway that i could get rid of this blotch?  This is what it looks like, its see-through but its very bothersome. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    mayor screen defact alart it will likely never work again

  • I need a little help accessing my mail on my mac and my iphone 4s after changing my password on Yahoo as someone hacked my account. I can't get mail, I just get Password error every time :(

    Hi people,
    A little stumped for what to do here... I had my Yahoo hacked, changed my yahoo password (Yahoo is the account configured to 'mail' on both my mac and iphone)... however since changing my password I have found I can't access my mail on either with out it asking me to enter my password. When I do, it say's 'Password error'. Sometimes it re-directs me to the actual 'Yahoo' browser saying I need to verify my account, but basically I can't use the mail function on either device now! I know you may suggest deleting the account and re-installing it to each device and I feel this would probably work as well but (and this is the tricky bit)... all my NOTES are configured through Yahoo, only some are through icloud (which is odd). All notes are about 201, icloud about 77 and the rest on Yahoo and when I go to delete the account it says it will also delete all my notes :/ Now, I am a bit of a writer, and these notes are pretty sacred to me so losing them isn't an option. I don't want to lose them. Is there anything any one of you lovely peeps can suggest. It would be much appreciated.

    Yes, you have encountered Activation Lock (Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support). The only way that phone will ever be usable is if the owner the phone is locked to releases it (see: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support). If you are lucky the phone is locked to the seller, so you can ask them to unlock it. If the seller is merely a middleman and the previous owner is not the seller it gets much more complicated. It's even possible that you bought a stolen phone, in which case you will never be able to use it and you should return it for a refund.

  • My itunes stops syncing and doesnt get to the copying to iphone part???? help please

    im trying to sync my music and i press entire library and press sync and it says its preparing to sync etc and then it doesnt actually sync it skips to waiting to appy changes and then it goes blank and does nothing, please help ive been doing this for the past 5 hours

    Well, music on your phone won't get to your computer that way. The iTunes content sync is one-way: Computer to phone, & no iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup.
    Is this purchased iTunes content? If so, just re-download it from the iTunes store to your computer.

  • Ever since the FBI shutdown, iPhone gets no WiFi connectivity.  Help!

    Hi folks,
    My husband's piece-of-junk PC was infected by the crazy virus, so he lost connectivity when the FBI shut down the servers on Monday.  Ever since then, I haven't been able to get any connectivity when my iPhone connects to our WiFi.  In order to use the phone in the house, I have to turn off WiFi.  My MacBook works fine, so I know it isn't the WiFi itself. 
    I assume that I need to change some settings on my phone.  I've tried doing "Forget Network" and reconnecting to it, but that hasn't worked.  My technical know-how is limited (I'm tempted to blow into the battery hole like it was a Nintendo game to make it work), so I could use some expert advice! 
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    If no change after an iPhone reset, try restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup first. If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup to see if there is any difference.

  • Lost most of the contacts on iPhone.  Still on iMac.  Help please.

    I need to upload my contacts from my iMac to my iPhone.  I lost most of my contacts on my iPhone, seemingly out-of-the-blue, but I still have them on my iMac.  Please help.  Thanks

  • Am in the middle of a project i need to finish today  re  transparent png

    Been a few generations since i used iMovie, I have the latest version.
    When i drop in a png with a transparency background, it show up when I do PIP in the top right hand side, when I go to crop it and do the 'fit' option the back ground turns BLACK.
    I am in one of those situations that I need a fix really soon. I would so appreciate that.
    Thanks

    PS OSX 10.5.6 latest iMovie

    Thank you, thank you, thank you.. that worked..
    Now, I think a final question..
    I have one bar across the bottom, the Gradient - White, and I would like to replace the text about 1/2 way though the short video.. I made the original one shorter, but I can not add another one, is this a limitation with iMovie? or with me ?
    It is good to be back in iMovie, was out for several years

  • Phones constantly turn off in the middle of phone calls, texting or web browsing; help!

    My daughter and I both have BlackBerry Curves that are approxiamately 2 years old.  They are constantly shutting down during phone calls and web browsing even though the battery shows a full charge. When they finally finish rebooting the battery indicators show that they are completely drained and need to be recharged.  The screens freeze regularly and the little clock icon keeps spinning whenever we try to do the most basic functions.  I can't wait to upgrade to different phone but can't afford to buy four of them at once.  What can we do to get by until we upgrade?

        Wow Scotty1964. It's certainly strange that both phones are doing the same thing! Do you both share the same chargers? It may be as simple as the charger needing to be replaced if the phone is not getting the best charge to begin with. It's also possible that both devices downloaded something in common to cause the quirky behavior. Did this start after an update was installed on the phone? Or maybe an application was updated or installed? If just removing an application doesn't help, you may find a Master Reset http://bit.ly/zK7LOX may be the best way to purge the phone of the pesky trouble and have working devices in your hand until you're ready for those upgrades.
    And I know money is tight, especially when you're looking to upgrade so many devices at once. When you have a chance, visit http://bit.ly/zpAY1E to check out all the online specials for phones. An upgrade may be more affordable than you think.

  • Need a little help coding math for an iphone app...

    I am having trouble coding the following for an application that has to do with math calculations for an iphone application. I was hoping for at least someone to point me in the right direction/
    I have two text boxes, and I want the application to add the two together. Then with a picker slider I want to be able to select a percentage of that number. Than multiply it by another number 1-30 on a picker slider. and then produce the product in another text box.
    If you need more details please let me know... thanks

    The following assumes "text boxes" means instances of UITextField, and these have been declared as textField1 and textField2 (we'll also assume you've ensured the text is numeric or coaxed the user into cooperating):
    // get the two numbers and add them together
    NSString *digits1 = textField1.text;
    NSString *digits2 = textField2.text;
    int n1 = [digits1 intValue];
    int n2 = [digits2 intValue];
    int nTotal = n1 + n2;
    // we now assume two instances of UISlider declared
    // as percentSlider, inited to 0-100, and multSlider
    // inited to 0-30
    // get the slider settings and compute answer
    int nPercent = round(percentSlider.value);
    int nMultipier = round(multSlider.value);
    float fResult = nTotal * nMultiplier * (float)nPercent/100;
    // assume instance of UILabel to display result
    label.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%2.2f", fResult];
    I didn't build a test bed for the above so be aware it's not working code, but hope it helps.

  • IPhone 4 Factory Unlock Approved by AT&T but I need a little help

    Today I contacted AT&T to get my wife's iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked (version: 4.3.5 firmware: 04.10.01) and I met all the requirements for getting it unlocked but the Tech Agent from AT&T said that in order for the Factory Unlock to be completed I would have to plug in the phone to iTunes and do a Backup & Restore to complete the process.
    I went to do this but before proceeding iTunes said that if I completed the process that the Restore would install iOS 5 on my wife's phone which she would prefer not to do if it were possible.
    I have always had a problem with iTunes.  Everytime I back it up it seems like I either loose pictures, or movies, or Apps or something and so I am hesitant to even touch iTunes let alone upgrade to iOS 5 on her phone.
    I am hoping that someone can teach me how to use iTunes properly or point me to a video series that would explain all the ins and outs of the various versions of iTunes so that I can learn it lock stock and barrel or that someone will help me understand how to complete this factory unlock effectively.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Thank you ever so much!  It worked.  iTunes congradulated me on my iPhone being Factory Unlocked!  Now it brings me to my next question.  My wife wants to use the phone on T Mobile.  If she wants to do this do I follow iTunes suggestion to "Set Up as New iPhone" or do I follow the option to "Restore from iTunes Backup"?
    I'm guessing that if I Set Up as New iPhone that she will loose all her apps and such.  But if that is what is needed so that it will work on other GSM providers then that is what I will do for her. 
    However if the Backup option will allow her to keep everything she has on the phone and still use it on any GSM network that she would like then I will do that.
    I respect your advice and follow it.  You have led me right thus far.  Thanks a Billion.
