Thank you. I was guessing that but needed a second opinion.

@Mcain - it probably is a logic board issue then.

Home button does not respond at all I have been using the assist touch option. Sometimes the voice control randomly turns on. If the phone is on or even in sleep it connects to iTunes just fine. It's when I turn it off iTunes sees it as it needs to be restored and if I do that it runs normally. Get to the end where iTunes says phone is rebooting will reconnect when it's done, then when it comes back on restore comes back on. If I disconnect it reboot it will start up fine and plug it in iTunes sees no problem with it. So it's only like that if its rebooting while connected to a computer.

@Mcain - if the home button is constantly being pressed, it may go into recovery mode when you power it on. That is how you force it into recovery mode. Only way to check is to temporarily disconnect the home button and see if it boots up normally.

My home button quit working on my iphone 4. I have had it replaced but after a week it stopped working again. The repair guy that did it said it my logic board was bad. I can connect to iTunes and it sees it and syncs just fine. But if my phone is off before I plug it in then iTunes boots the phone in recovery mode. If I restore it it, it seems to do just that but when it reboots at the end it still starts in recovery, no errors. If I disconnect it reboots as a new phone and connects to iTunes to finish setting it up. My question is, is it acting that way because of the logic board being bad?

@camii - it is most likely a logic board issue at that point. if it is still under warranty I'd contact where you bought it from. If not, you'll probably want it professionally diagnosed just to be sure.

@sean - you can try a slightly larger size in the case of a torx screw or a tiny flathead in the case of a philips screw. otherwise, you'll have to create your own slit.

@rommel - doubt it was a virus so don't think that is the cause. I would try to do a restore through your computer first. If that doesn't work, it is most likely a hardware issue with the LCD or logic board.

@Hotrod - I would try a soft reset by holding down the power and home button together. That sometimes fixes it. Besides that I would try reseating the cable and then you may want to exchange the screen for another as it may be defective.

So in the midst of replacing my broken iphone 4 screen, with a complete red conversion kit, i accidentally broke off the very top screw hole on the logic board! oops! Anyways...i have been lookin around and i was hoping there was somewhere to get refurbished logic boards or is there any other solution that you know of? besides spending $150 (at least!!) for one from overseas. Also, do you know anywhere to find a DIY video with detailed instructions on replacing the power/home button flex cable also? Ive looked all around and havent come up with one that is detailed enough. Thanks

@Jay - it really depends which speaker. I would send in a quote request to our repair department.

@laura - i would try turning it off and restarting the phone first. Then I would try syncing it up to iTunes and restoring it. This will rule out any software issues. If it still doesn't fix it, I would recommend getting it professionally diagnosed by Apple first if there is no obvious damage.

I replaced the vibrate button on my iphone 3gs. After the fix my back light turns off an I have to apply pressure to the top of the screen to make it work. Also, I ended up with an extra part...a small little metal one, that I cannot figure out where it belongs... I can send you a pic...any ideas of what is causing the back light problem?

@Annette - you can try to take it apart and see where the damage is. You'd look for corrosion damage as well as the dots Apple places around inside that turn red when they've come in contact with water.

Dropped my iPhone in the toilet on Monday it has been submerged in rice. Still won't turn on - it rings when called, makes the sound when plugged in to charger and the vibrate button still works. Any thoughts? My son & husband are both geeks - should we try to take apart and dry it? Thanks, A

My iPhone 4 fell out of my pocket and landed flat on the sidewalk. The whole front is shattered and I'm not sure which service part needs to be replaced?

@Jason - most people suggest putting the phone into rice to help soak up the water overnight before trying to turn it back on. if it is still dead after 24-48 hours, its best to open it up and check on the damage or have it professionally diagnosed.

@bobby - i would try reinserting your sim and make sure it is going in straight. if that doesn't help, you'll need to open it back up and make sure the sim slot is connected properly.

@angy - doubtful. you most likely damaged the logic board or the sim card reader. I'd suggest having it professionally diagnosed by us or some other company that can give you a free diagnosis.

I have phone 32 GB (model A1332). I would like to know what is the problem: when I open my phone. It stays a little time then turn off. I don’t know why, it’s a problem of software or hard

@Miles - you'll have to take most of it apart as shown in the video and then just move the removed parts over to the new one.

I have been looking into replacing my iphone 4 mid board antenna with frame (like the part you sell). I have been unable to find any repair instructions for it. Do you have any ideas for me?
