Disabling an iPhone with a failed sensor

If the buttons continue to work, the owner of an iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 8 and older models can easily turn off or restart the device with the keys - even when the screen is not working. On modern Apple phones, turning off still requires using the display, even if it only requires one tap. Therefore, the method of turning off an iPhone 12 Pro, X, 11 or 13 has its own characteristics:

  • If the partially broken screen continues to accept touches, you should press the desired combination (power and one of the volume buttons) and try to move your fingers on another part of the display. Slightly above or below the inscription, in the place where the glass remained intact.
  • On a completely broken screen, you can also try turning off the phone with touches. There is a possibility that the sensor continues to work, and you will be able to perform a “blind shutdown” - swipe your finger not across the display, but along the lower part of the front panel.

If it was not possible to turn off the phone by swiping over the damaged area or it was the sensor and not the screen that completely failed, the device will not be able to respond to the user’s actions. There are only two options left. The first is to wait until the battery runs out. The second is to immediately contact the service, especially since you still won’t be able to do without contacting the experts if there are other breakdowns.

If all else fails

If nothing helps, then the only way out is to contact a service center. This is a really good option that is best used immediately. If none of the methods described above helped the user, then it is highly likely that other people will not help him either. It is worth contacting the service as soon as the first signs of problems appear.

Possible consequences of shutdown without using a sensor

Some of the methods described above really have a very rough effect on the phone’s system, to the point that the phone’s memory may “crumple,” that is, it will not work the way it worked before.

The user should be aware that when he uses these methods, he first of all endangers not only his phone, but also himself. It is better to start with the simplest methods, such as a standard reboot, soft reboot, and finish with more complex ones - a hard reboot or removing the battery.

Don't think that after using these methods the phone will work the same as before. Moderation is important in everything.

Removing the Battery

A very dangerous method that the user should not try on their own. If you use it, then only under the supervision of professionals. It can end quite badly for everyone, including the user and the phone.

To remove the battery of their phone, you will need a small Phillips screwdriver, tape, as well as accuracy and knowledge of the operating procedures of the system. In order to remove the cover and then remove the battery, you need the following:

  • First, unscrew the screws that are located on the side panels of the phone. Then we remove them so as not to lose them;
  • Using a slight horizontal pressure, move the cover until it stops and remove it;
  • Once the user has removed the cover, the battery itself can be disconnected from the device. To do this, you need to disconnect the battery terminals. This can be done by unscrewing the screws;
  • After this, disconnect the battery connector itself and remove the metal retainer;
  • Using a special tongue, pull the battery housing and disconnect it.

The tape was necessary to prevent the user from panicking when the tab broke. This can happen. Just glue a piece of tape and remove the battery.

iPhones do not require the battery to be removed at all. This should only be done in the most extreme cases.
