Iphone 5s had white light leaks on lcd after unlocked with touch id

My iphone 5s had white light leaks on lcd after unlocked with touch id. It's a bit confusing because if I unlock with passcode, there's no white light leaks. Does anyone have the same issue? What should I do?

    Hey elickson,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you are having trouble adding a fingerprint. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
    Get help with Touch ID
    Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
    Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
    Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
    If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
    Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
    Try enrolling a different finger.
    If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
    * Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin might affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.

    1. Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    2. If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
    3. If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • Light leak?

    In the night, I noticed a bit of light leaking out the side of my ipod? How can I stop this? Is there a way to get my iPod replaced with another one? I have the 1 year warranty, and the 180 days aren't up. I heard this also causes dirt under the screen, which I have also.

    Not sure about the dust getting part of the questions. but I can add my experience with the light leak and trying to return it to Apple if it helps...
    After I noticed a light leak on my iPod, I called Apple right away. They asked me to send my new iPod to Apple for "repair". I did and had it returned with a note stating that nothing was wrong with it. Then I called Apple a second time and took the iPod to the Apple store (as directed by Apple). The Apple employee told me that I could switch it with the ONE other iPod available in the store (yes, they claimed to only have one spare in the whole NYC store). This was purely out of courtesy (they assured me) because they said that the iPod was "within spec". The replacement had a light leak that was worse than mine. So I went home with my original iPod.

  • Light leak iphone 5

    Dear all iPhone 5 users!
    I am very happy I bought the iPhone 5 on launch day. To be precise I got the white 32 GB version. Just after 2 days I started to notice that there was light leaking between the sleep button and the display. I have read some articles on the net and it seems only white iPhone 5’s are having this problem. You might think it’s a cosmetic flaw… but I am worried. It means there is a ‘gap’ between the unibody and the display. A gap means it’s also susceptible for moisture and damp (i.e. keeping device in pants).
    I went to the apple store (Amsterdam) and the didn’t have any new iPhone 5’s in stock so I got a iPhone 5 replacement unit that looked like refurbished unit. The service was excellent but when I got home the leak was also present in this swapped device. It seems like it’s a wide spread issue.
    Anybody have this problem?
    Thanks,
    D

    Hi all,
    Just to update you guys. I have been back to Apple. They recognised the problem and replaced my iPhone 5 with a brand new one. I had a white 32gb and now a black 32. The light leak is gone and I am very happy with the black iPhone. The service apple gives is topnoch!!!

  • Windpad 110W Tablet LCD light leak and dead pixels

    Hello,
    I've just received the 110W tablet (I'm in the USA) and the LCD exhibits what I'll call light leak, where the backlight leaks or bleeds through so that when viewing a dark background you can see white light around the perimeter of the display.  The white light is in blotches and shows up around the display in various places.  My tablet most noticeably shows light leak on the left side of the display.  Has anyone else had this problem with their Windpad tablets?
    I've seen this in several other tablets I've had (Eee Transformer, Xoom FE), and it may just be something we live with, but I'd like to get your feedback before I return it to find the replacement exhibits the same light leak problem.
    Also, how about dead pixels?  Mine has a dead (always black) pixel up at the top of the display which doesn't really bother me at all.  Again, I'm just looking for your experience with these issues.
    Thanks!

    Quote from: blakebart on 06-September-12, 11:05:49
    Interesting that you would return it for the dead pixel.
    Absolutely, on a screen this size it would be very annoying. I have only ever had a dead pixel at work and made them change it.
    I have no idea what MSI's dead pixel policy is  though so that may affect whether you can return it or not.

  • Light leak in camera during flash iphone 4s?

    All photos are cloudy when using flash -- there is a light leak.  Does anyone have a solution?

    I got my iPhone 4s a couple months back from 3 and since getting it the camera hasnt worked great. With the flash on I get a white haze on my pics and they don't really seem 8mp quality to me. Will the apple store fix or replace my phone and has anyone else had this problem and if so had a resolution to it?
    There are several possible causes for the problem you describe:
    You haven't removed the shipping film from the back of the phone
    The lens is dirty
    You have a case on the phone that is scattering light from the flash or reflecting it back into the lens
    You are too far from the subject (the range of the flash is only about 5 feet).
    So remove your case, make sure there is no plastic film over any part of the back, clean the lens and take a bunch of pictures under varying light conditions with subjects at varying distances. If the pictures are still disappointing take the phone to an Apple store for evaluation. Make a genius appointment first (www.apple.com/retail). Don't take it to 3; they don't repair iPhones and don't know anything about them.

  • Does the iPhone 5 'light leak' affect function?

    I just recently received my white iPhone 5, and I have a small light leak near the power button along the bezel. Does this affect the function of the phone, such as the screen brightness? And Would Verizon replace it?

    There may be a possibility it could affect the function but not likely. I would call Apple and report it though as they may replace it, Verizon would send you straight to Apple. Being that this is still such a new product they like to capture new products with hardware problems.

    Yeah.

    Since our preemie woke me at 04:00 this morning and I had nothing better to do--I let the ATV3 connected to our "main viewer" 'update'.
    Got a screen showing what at first bleery-eyed glance looks like a HDMI-to-iPod/iPhone/Ipad cable wanting iTunes.
    Fast blinking white indicator light.
    Pretty much BRICKED.
    I shall attempt the USB-mircoUSB after another cup of coffee.
    Really GLAD I did not update the two ATV2s.
    UPSIDE: discovered that one can make the same content play on ALL ATVs simultaneously from iTunes on the main machine...

  • I have light leaking from the right top corner of my iPhone 5.is it a problem or a major thing. Is there anyone, who hasn't got this problem?

    I noticed light leaking from the top right corner of my new iPhone 5 from a small area. I noticed first, when I changed the brightness to higher and when I changed back the light was still there.

    Personally I would take it to the Apple Store cause the iPhone is still under warranty. You should try your carrier first if your not near an Apple Store and then go from there based on what help or lack of help they provide.
    Best of luck.

  • My iPhone screen is frozen on white light (then goes to black).  I tried to reset with no luck.  The phone will ring but can't pick up a call.

    My iPhone screen shows only a white light when on, then goes to black. 
    I tried to reset, with no success, and I
    synced to computer again, with no luck either.

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.
