DIY glowing apple on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s - step-by-step guide

One of the popular problems of iPhone owners is the situation when, when they turn on the phone, the Apple logo lights up for a while, and then the screen goes dark and nothing else happens. The device owner’s attempts to deal with the problem do not produce any tangible results. And the person has no choice but to take the phone for repair. But do not rush to contact the service center. There are ways to solve the problem where your iPhone won't turn on at all, but the logo lights up and then the screen goes blank. Let's figure out how to fix the problem.

The program "ReiBoot - iOS System Repair" if the iPhone does not turn on

Usually the problem when the Apple logo appears and goes out is caused by another system update, jailbreak, physical damage to the device and other reasons. To solve this problem, we recommend turning to the functionality of the ReiBoot - iOS System Repair program.

Do the following if the logo lights up and then goes out:

1. Download and install the “ReiBoot - iOS System Repair” program on your PC;

8. After this, you can boot your iPhone as usual.

Fully charge your phone to solve the problem

One of the reasons why the iPhone does not turn on after the Apple logo is that it is in a low battery state. Try connecting the charger to the gadget and wait for a while until your phone screen turns black. After waiting, try turning on your iPhone again.

If the problem is not resolved, move on.

Important point

It should be remembered that to create such decor you have to disassemble half of the iPhone case. And this alone entails a 100% refusal to provide a free warranty if suddenly something goes wrong in the normal operation of the smartphone. You understand that after disassembly, the battery elements or connecting cables may fit less tightly. And the case itself seems to be “depressurized”, because... the steel plate with the logo will be removed, and there will be an apple-shaped hole gaping in the solid metal, even if protected by high-strength plastic. Think about whether such beauty is justified?

If you still decide to make a glowing apple on your “six”, wait at least until the end of the one-year warranty. When installing it, ask the technician to simultaneously check all components of the smartphone for corrosion or loose connections. If you are the owner of last year's flagship iPhone 6, it is quite possible that it is time to change the battery, since its resource is depleted quite quickly, given the need for daily charging. The limit of possibilities is around one and a half to two years. So the point of waiting a year is undeniable - you will kill two birds with one stone: you will pass the diagnostics and decorate your iPhone with a shining logo.

Performing a hard reset if the apple light is on and then goes off

In solving the problem where the iPhone freezes at the Apple logo and then the screen goes blank, a hard reset can help.

The specifics of its implementation depend on the versions of your phone.

Recovering an iPhone that won't turn on using iTunes

If your iPhone does not turn on after the Apple logo, then you can restore your device using iTunes. In this case, the recovery mechanism directly depends on whether synchronization was performed before or not.

If the iPhone previously synced with iTunes

If you already synced your iPhone with iTunes before the problem manifested itself, you can quickly restore your iPhone. But remember that your data may be lost.

Do the following:

1. Connect the iPhone, which turns off after turning it on, to a PC with iTunes open on it;
2. Click on the device icon in the upper left corner;
3. Next, select “Summary” on the left, then click “Restore iPhone” to start the restore process.

If synchronization with iTunes has not been performed before

If your iPhone hasn't synced yet, you'll first need to put it into recovery mode using iTunes, and then carry out the recovery procedure itself.

Do the following:

1. Turn on iTunes, and then connect your iPhone to your computer;
2. Force restart your iPhone by performing the appropriate operation until iTunes appears. Its specific operation depends on which iPhone you used.

Steps for iPhone 8 and above:

1. Connect your phone to the PC via a USB cable. Quickly press and release the Volume Up key, then quickly press and release the Volume Down key.
2. Then press and hold the Power button until the screen goes completely black. Keep holding the Power key, you will see an apple.
3. When “Connect to iTunes” appears on the screen, release the Power button.

Steps for iPhone 7 and 7 plus:

1. Connect your device to your computer via a USB cable.
2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
3. Release the buttons when you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen.

Steps for iPhone 6 and below:

1. Connect the phone on which the logo lights up and then goes out to the PC via a USB cable.
2. Press and hold the Power and Home buttons at the same time.
3. Release the buttons when the "Connect to iTunes" message appears.

After connecting to iTunes, your phone will be in the Recovery Mode. Click on "Restore" to restore your device.

Dismantling

On either side of the Lightning connector there are two tiny screws that need to be unscrewed using the special screwdriver included in the kit. Don't lose the parts! Several more similar procedures are planned during the dismantling process.

We attach the suction cup to the glass of the screen, pry up the panel with a plastic spatula, slowly disconnect the cables and put the entire structure aside.

Removing the iPhone battery from its place is not easy, but it is necessary. Heating with a hairdryer will help overcome the tenacious grip of the glue; a table knife with a rounded end or a wide screwdriver will pair with a spatula - carefully using force, we dismantle the module.

The shiny detail of an indeterminate shape that appears is the original logo of the smartphone, which you just need to get rid of.

We again have to overcome the resistance of the adhesive composition, but now we don’t have to stand on ceremony - we are talking about static, non-functional elements. More scratches, less dents, it doesn’t matter. On the other hand, it makes sense to show delicacy in case there is a desire later to return the “native apple” to its place.

Hardware problems when the logo lights up and then goes out

If all of the above methods fail and your iPhone still won't start and the logo keeps flashing on and off, then it's probably experiencing hardware problems. In this case, we recommend visiting a service center and contacting a competent specialist who can help solve the problem.

Educational program

For a long time, it was expected that Apple itself would leave an “opening” on the reverse metal panel, instead of the controversial plastic strips, for better signal reception by the antennas, and at the same time highlight the logo. However, given the small size of smartphones, the functionality of this solution turned out to be questionable, because when using the device (and the backlight only works when you activate the display), a person simply covers all the beauty with his hands. What's the point of bothering and overloading the phone's design with insignificant elements?

But, nevertheless, the demand for such services is great, and almost all self-respecting service centers for repairing smartphones are willing to undertake them. As a rule, miniature LEDs are used for illumination. They consume a negligible amount of energy and have virtually no effect on the operation of the iPhone or increased battery consumption. According to experts, the backlight consumption with one diode is within 0.9% of the battery charge per hour of continuous operation. If it doesn’t glow all the time, even less.

You can set the backlight so that the apple lights up whenever you receive messages or incoming calls in silent mode.

In addition, it will be much easier to find the iPhone in the dark, when it lies with the display down. Such advanced systems, as a rule, are more expensive. Users are offered a wide range of LED colors to choose from. For aesthetic reasons, the classic white color of the LED diode is ideal for any iPhone, which is why service clients most often order it class=”aligncenter” width=”500″ height=”390″[/img]
