iPhone Ear Speaker Swap - Super Easy - Works for X, XS, XS Max, XR, iP11, iP11 Pro, 11 Pro Max
Рет қаралды 29,575
3 жыл бұрынIf you run across a newer iPhone with Face ID where the ear speaker failed, causing no sound, you can replace the whole ear speaker flex, but you'll lose Face ID.
But you can just replace the speaker itself & retain Face ID.
Here's the super easy steps to do it. Only 2 solder joints!
Takes like 30 seconds at the most!
Enjoy the super quick video.

I need help to strange situation in iPhone 11. There is problem with ear speaker. Phone was hit on ground.. so I replace to used but original lcd. When I talk I hear sound, but this is low. So I clean net.. but this was clean.. and I replace new speaker with face id and etc.. and swap this all without soldering.. but audio is still the same. I check in options audio settings and I make this options off and on without result. What may happend ? :/
@mentals555 Жыл бұрын
In the case that the ear piece flex cable was damaged during disassembly, is there any possible way face ID could ever be made to work again? I am assuming not and just have an aftermarket ear piece+proximity sensor assembly in there now with no face ID. Sure is annoying due to the lack of a fingerprint sensor on the 11 pro max. Could the old sensors be transferred to the new flex cable?
@VCCBoardRepairs Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can swap the paired sensors to a new flex. I have video on my channel on that as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtd3lNh92cmxp6c.html

I just tried this myself and successfully completed it however i ended up melting a small part of the flex cable how do you stop this from happening?
@VCCBoardRepairs 2 жыл бұрын
Congrats on successfully swapping out the speaker! Perhaps you kept your soldering on there for too long? With enough flux & solder on the tip of your iron, it should super quick to solder on.
@iBoyLPs Жыл бұрын
hey I have one big problem. I just disassembled my iPhone X and peeled the tape which hides the soldering points. Before replacing the earpiece, I cut an old aux cable and attached the positive and negative wires to the speaker. In fact I could perfectly hear the music which was playing on my Mac through the iPhone speaker. So it is definitively working well. There are also no visible damages on the whole speaker flex. As you have mentioned the Face ID involvement, Im aware that I can't replace the flex itself. What would you suggest? regards

if you damaged the flex, then you need to swap face id sensors to a new flex
