Here we show you 5 tips to tell the difference between an OEM and copy LCD for the iPhone 6. Tip 1: Apple Logo The most obvious evidence towards an OEM iPhone LCD screen is whether or not Apple's logo is present. Are there Apple logos on both the LCD screen flex and digitizer's flex cables? Moreover, is there an Apple logo printed on the back of the LCD screen? If there are, then congrats! You have a 100% OEM manufactured and assembled iPhone 6 LCD screen and digitizer assembly. Please keep this tip it in mind when you are buying iPhone 6 LCD screens. Additionally, there is a laser mark on the front facing camera's retaining bracket and proximity sensor retaining bracket. If the laser mark is present then you will be able to see a blue layer film reflected in the light on the covers. Tip 2: Cable Flexibility The  next tip requires you to check out the flexibility of the flex cables. The OEM factories need to produce softer and more flexible

How To Test the Quality of Your Phone's Touchscreen?

Be careful, once you notice a problem, you won't be able to forget about it. A phone can be built well, and have fast internals, but if the touch screen is of poor quality, the experience will be damaged. This is of special concern with Android. Many manufacturers use different hardware with different capabilities. You also have to worry about defects that can adversely affect the image quality of the screen. It's also possible for a high quality touch screen to be defective when you take it out of the box. There are a few easy things you can do to make sure your touch screen is detecting your interactions correctly.  Just use it first Pay attention to the conditions the phone is in if issues arise. Users of the HTC Evo 4G noticed that the lower half of their touch screens were unresponsive intermittently. After examining the situation, it was clear that having the phone sitting on an insulating surface was causing the capacitive touches not to be detected. Your expe

How to protect phone screen from breaking?

Image
With smartphone screens getting bigger and bigger, dropping a phone on concrete floor is often a death sentence for the screen. While technological development had a big impact on scratch resistance, a massive amount of iPhone or Android phone screens break on a daily basis. While the best protection from breaking your phones screen is to not drop it in the first place (duh), there are ways to protect it from breaking when it hits the ground. The solution: Glass screen protectors While plastic screen protectors were quite popular in the past, a recent trend is using tempered glass screen protectors . But why would you put another layer of glass on top of your screen, which is already protected with a glass layer on top of it? Simply put, adding a glass protector to your screen won’t change your every day experience much. Controlling your phone still feels nice, your screen is protected from scratches and the glass protector almost completely absorbs impact damage when dropping th

How to Keep Your Phone's Battery Healthy?

That phone in your pocket is a modern miracle. Ditto the laptop on your desk, the tablet in your backpack, maybe even the watch on your wrist. And regardless of what each is capable of, they all have one cornerstone component to thank, one that you probably ought to know how to take care of: A battery. The first step to knowing your device's battery is to narrow down the kind. The first kind you might think of (and the kind you probably grew up with) are nickel-metal hydride, or NiMH batteries. These, generally, are the ones that look like a normal disposable batteries, except you can plug them into a wall charger for some extra juice whenever your TV remote dies. The batteries in your modern-day gadgets—from iPhones to laptops to Bluetooth headphones to tablets—are a different beast entirely. These are lithium-ion (aka li-ion) batteries, and they have some pretty significant advantages over NiMH and other rechargeable batteries that came before. Lithium-ion batteries are al

What are The Easiest and Hardest Smartphones to Repair?

Just search on google. The answer is as below. If you have different idea, please feel free to leave your comment. As defined by iFixit, which is a platform share the teardown guideline for all equipment. Repairability is rated on a scale of zero to 10 — ten being the easiest to repair and zero being the hardest. To receive a good score, a device must be easy to disassemble. A service manual should be available, and points are deducted or awarded based on difficulty to open and complexity in replacing major components. Component modularity and ability to upgrade easily can boost the device's score, while use of non-proprietary tools for servicing can reduce it. iFixit's list doesn't cover all the smartphones on the market, but it does address most of those available in the United States. According to iFixit, the repairability champion is Motorola, whose Droid Bionic and Atrix 4G are the only devices on the list with nine points. Samsung's Galaxy S4, as well as

How To Test Or Check LCD Of A Cell Phone

Image
It is not difficult to check LCD (Display) of a cell phone or a tablet. LCDs being delicate tend to crack, leave blots or simply sop working. So if its is broken or cracked, you can see its broken manually. Even if there is a blot on it, you can see it physically. But what if its looking good and still there is no graphics on the display? The problem may be either the LCD is faulty or there is some problem in the PCB. So how do we test it? A faulty LCD can be of the following types: Cracked or broken A blot (round in shape which will spread rapidly!) Blank display with no graphics. An LCD with just graphics and no light (LED) glowing on it. You can check LCD of a cell phone by any of the below methods 1. LCD Testers: There are testing machines available in the market for checking of LCDs. The problem here is that as all models have different LCDs, you will need to buy an LCD tester machine for all types and models and will run into hundreds! As all LCDs of smartphones,

How Extreme Cold Temperatures Can Damage Your Mobile Device?

Image
Are you planning on taking a skiing adventure this winter? With the holiday season around the corner, it is probably the best time to go for a much-awaited break. Unfortunately, most electronic owners are unaware of the effect cold weather can have on their devices – including cell phones and tablets. Cold weather symptoms could include a sluggish LCD performance and poor battery performance; cold weather can even damage your device permanently. How cold is too cold for your mobile device? All the major cell phone manufacturers warn about using their products in cold temperatures and offer operational temperature guidelines. For instance, Apple provides a temperature range of 0 to 35 degree Celsius for their devices and are not covered under warranty if you use it in conditions that are any colder or warmer. A little more lenient, Nokia offers an operational temperature range of -10 to 55 degrees Celsius while Samsung suggests -20 to 50 degrees Celsius. Why such a broad

What is OEM Original vs Non-Original iPhone LCD Screens Explained?

Image
One of the most common misconceptions we see in the iPhone repair business is the true meaning and understanding of the definition of Non-Original LCD Screens and Original (OEM) LCD Screens. It seems every company that sells LCD screens or buys back broken LCD screens uses slightly different terminology. If you’re a bit unsure, don’t panic! We’ll try to define the root differences between the various stock conditions in hopes that some sense of common knowledge is put in place. Why so Many Different LCD Conditions and Grading Scales? It boils down to three reasons: culture differences, marketing and name brand copyright infringement. Culture Differences – Most LCD screens are manufactured or reclaimed to be refurbished in the Asian market. Right out of the gate, there is a barrier of culture and language barriers that simply don’t align with other nations terms relating to cell phone replacement parts. For example: the phrase OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) seems

How do a touch screen works?

Image
I recently overheard a woman on the subway telling her friend that her toddler “swipes” everything in their house – the coffee table, books, plates and even her own mother, trying to make her disappear like an image on a touch screen. The story got me thinking that for many of us, our knowledge of what’s going on behind that glossy display isn’t much more than a toddler’s. Before I started researching how touch screens worked, I figured there was one universal technology behind the “swipable” phenomenon. Instead it turns out there are half a dozen, and more being researched every day. The two most commonly used systems are resistive and capacitive touch screens. For the sake of simplicity, I will focus here on these two systems and finish with where experts think touch screen technology is headed. 1. Resistive These are the most basic and common touch screens, the ones used at ATMs and supermarkets, that require an electronic signature with that small grey pen. These screens lite

What is the E-IPS and AS-IPS screen

Image
Sometimes you will see these terms being used, but S-IPS is still widely used as an umbrella for modern IPS panels. In 2002 Advanced Super IPS (AS-IPS) boosted the amount of light transmitted from the backlighting by around 30% compared with the standard Super IPS technology developed in 1998. This did help boost contrast ratios somewhat, but they could still not compete with VA panel types. In 2005 with the introduction of RTC technologies (Overdrive Circuitry - ODC) and dynamic contrast ratios, LG.Display started to produce their so called "Enhanced IPS" (E-IPS, not to be confused with e-IPS) panels. Pixel response times were reduced across G2G transitions to as low as 5ms on paper. Enhanced S-IPS builds on S-IPS technology by providing the same 178° viewing angle from above and below and to the sides, and greatly improves the off-axis viewing experience by delivering crisp images with minimal colour shift, even when viewed from off-axis angles such as 45°. You will rar

Will Apple changes the displays on its next generation of iPhones?

Image
iPhones produced in 2017 will feature organic light-emitting diode (OLED) flexible displays, a significant step forward from the LCD screens the Californian tech giant currently uses in its handsets. Apple held discussions with suppliers Samsung and LG in December over increasing the production of OLED screens in the run up to next September's iPhone launch, Nikkei has reported. OLED screens are typically brighter and use less power than LED displays, as well as being flexible, possibly raising the prospect of a curved screen in the iPhone or a future Apple gadget. Last July, LG Display  said it will invest KRW1.05 trillion in a flexible screen production line , based at the Gumi Plant in Gyeongbuk Province, Korea, which is listed among  Apple's suppliers . The new line will produce more than 200 cuts 5.5-inch cuts from a single plastic substrate sheet - the same size as an iPhone 6 Plus display - according to LG. Mass production is not expected to begin
