Chosen Solution

So I recently followed the guide for replacing the speaker in an Iphone 6s. Not only did I think everything went smoothly but it almost seemed surgical. Used every proper tool, every screw and component was kept track of, and I didn’t force my way through anything. Although after booting there seemed to arise several strange problems.

  1. During the first boot after the installation, the phone was stuck on the apple logo which I was able to get out of by hard resetting. Weird, but didn’t think much of it.
  2. For a few hours the phone was working flawlessly but then it stopped charging at a certain point. I tried different cables and outlets but nothing has worked so far. Now it only charges when the phone is off.
  3. In addition, even when the battery does charge, it loses its battery extremely quickly. I find this to be very strange considering I didn’t even touch the charging port, or the battery for that matter. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT PLEASE

When working on iPhone 6S and 6S plus, you need to discharge the phone, after you’ve removed the cables, before you put them back on. It’s very possible you’ve damaged something. I don’t think it’s a board problem, which is good. It’s likely that you’ve damaged the battery and or the Lightning dock. I talked with the folks at iFixit to put some kind of a warning…. Update (02/06/2017) Obviously you haven’t worked on an S model. Sorry, meant to write it in my post. You need to hold down the power button. Again, after you remove the display and power cables, before you put them back on
