My iphone 6 has been acting possessed for the last 6 months or so. Every... Single.... Time... I'd... Use... It...... Screen randomly stops working, sometimes the phone will unlock by itself, open the camera and snap a bunch of photos back to back and then shut down. If I had text open, it would randomly start texting a bunch of things like "fdsaklj asdjk 84,a 8arl dsa as" and then send the text.. ALL WITHOUT ME TOUCHING THE PHONE.... Weird stuff randomly happening, but I refused to upgrade. I will never buy another iphone again. EVER.... I found this video as a last ditch effort before tossing this phone and going with an android, but this video worked. It's been 24 hours and my phone hasn't acted up once. THANK YOU
I highly recommend to anyone doing this that you draw a map of the internal layout of your phone and draw little circles where you take a screw out, placing that screw on the map. It's vital that you replace the SAME screw where you took it from as they are different sizes.
Hey man just wanted to thank you for this fix! I replaced my screen and still had the problem. figured it was touch disease but didn't want to pay for my phone to be fixed by apple. Took me about an hour to insert the tape and BINGO! it works as good as new. don't listen to the "haters", a wise man once said if it's stupid and it works... it ain't stupid. Thanks again.
We don't hate. We're trying to prevent people from making things worse. Read the comments and you'll see many people in worse shape and with new problems. Most of the people who warn against this idea are members of a trained micro soldering community. Non of us make any money commenting here. These ICs are not simply lose. They have weak bonds from corrosion. Squeezing these corroded points back together is like putting a spacer at the back of a flashlight that has leaking batteries. The pressure might make the corroded connection work again, but it that really what you want to do?
Completely fixed my problem!!! Works perfectly!!!! And I don't like my cell phone at all, so your video saved me 250 dollars (price in Brazil for the fixing). Of course I've made a mess with the screws (I've never opened a cell phone before) and there's one left looking at me right now (I don't care!!!). But everything is working perfectly! Thank you very much!!!
Hi Rody. I would just like to give a massive thank you to you for posting this video. My iPhone 6 Plus was having major problems with an unresponsive screen, and, after following your instructions, thanks to you - My phone is now fully working again with a fully responsive screen! I'm so grateful for selfless, kind people like you who take the time to post videos to help others. God bless you my friend! Thank you so much!
Haven't tried it but don't take the stupidness of people to heart, they're most likely annoyed that you found a way to fix a problem that makes them money, keep doing what ya doin, Great Job!!
My aunt’s touch screen failed the other day and she didn’t have a backup saved. This method worked and I was able to get the screen working to take a backup! The only problem I had was removing the standoff screws since I didn’t have the right screwdriver, however I was able to finagle it with a flathead.
This guy is making videos to save us 100's of dollars and yet people are still giving him a hard time. Follow his instructions and it should work. If it doesn't, chances are, you have a different issue. Worked like a charm for me. Thanks man!
screen was flickering with no touch response. put the phone away for 3 years because it was out of warranty. I came across this video, my sister needed a phone. used your idea. BOOM!!! phone working perfectly. People like you make this world a better place. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SUBSCRIBED
Did this yesterday afternoon and it is still working. Usually it would have already glitched out by now and I am writing this msg from the same phone. Seem to have worked!!! Thanks man.
Thanks Rody, this method really works.. I did this 8-10 months ago, until now there's no problem.. the ghost touch won't come back. To those who don't believe, go pay the shop and ask them fix if for you. If you want to fix it free and fast.. try follow Rodys video
Already replaced the phone and it was just sitting around. Took it to a repair shop to ask about fixing it for one of my kids. They told me about the touch disease then. (An entire year after the issue and I was never contacted as being a 6plus owner). The repair shop quoted “at least $140 and the phone isn’t even worth that much”. So daughter was willing to twist it to get it to work, but that seemed stupid. Just paid $11 for a precision toolkit and followed the steps and it’s working with no bending! Good enough for me! Thank you!
I performed this fix 2 months ago and my wife's phone is still working perfectly. Saved me the $350 plus dollars I was quoted for a fix. I had never taken a phone apart but found it to be relatively easy if you just take your time and take notes as you go. Thanks Rody
Exactly. This isn't that hard and yes, it is a fix. As good a fix as anything else out there. Even if it just holds me out long enough until my contract is out and I can get a new phone. Or better yet, wait for the iphone 8.
A good 4 months after doing this fix, my wife broke her screen. I've since replaced the screen and phone is still going strong. I'm still standing by this fix and the money saved towards my next upgrade whenever that comes.
NEED HELP!! My iphone 6 has a weird horizontal lines on its bottom of the screen. sometimes it showed up but sometimes its gone. now it had a lot of line than before.. please is there any advice ? :')
This is the best band-aid fix ever. Works like a charm. My iPhone 6 Plus developed this issue recently, perhaps coincidentally after updating to iOS 11.2.1. Thanks so much.
Hi zenapsgas : unfortunately the issue did return. I think I could have added an extra layer of electrical tape and made it work, but instead I visited the Apple store and opted to replace my device for the price of a screen replacement. I have no regrets about trying this fix though!
Man nice work. I did this repair back in Nov to my 6+ and it worked perfectly the first time. Haven't had a problem since. Don't mind all these tech shops that are hating on you. Not everyone has the $$$ to pay for these things. And they are losing money to the somewhat tech swave viewers who can preform this procedure following your instructions. Not meant for all. But keep up the good work man
i used this trick on my iPhone 6+ 128gb because it is such a great phone that i would hate to have it stop working. also this has worked great so far with no problems. thanks for instructing me on how to do this.
never took a phone apart before was told my local cell repair phone was not fixable. Followed tutorial hour later full working function. Good job for getting this information out! keep up the awesome work!!!!
Yes, it should. You could also put an old SIM card on top in between the connectors and the metal plate (upper right) and put it back on without taking all the screws and logic board apart.
I definitely thought I wouldn’t be able to put everything back in its place. I was worried. I just kept skipping back from the end to put it back together. Actually worked.👍👍👍
I have yet to try this repair but for those who don't understand the SCIENCE behind this. The tape forces the chip down onto the motherboard when its screwed into the housing of the phone. Basically your chip has become ever so slightly disconnected from the phone and this fix prevents u from removing the whole chip and replacing the solder. I'm going to try it out as ive tried a billion new touch screens and none of them work. Also the phone in question I plugged in a new touch screen and it worked for about 3 mins then stopped home and power worked for a min and a half eventually stopped working and hasn't worked since. UPDATE: Worked like charm! Nice thank you for your fix. I can micro solder I just really hate it!
I just want to thank the UA-camR!!! this fixed saved me 600 bucks cause i was going to buy another phone!! Thanks brother and yes this does work i have stress tested my phone like crazy and it does work 100%
I posted a few weeks ago that after I purchased the tools from Frys (you'll have to buy the ones specifically for Apple - about $15) I had a problem in doing this because one of the microscopic screws was already stripped at the factory. I couldn't drill it out (worried about damage to the sensitive mechanisms) and finally gave up. But then the Apple store told me that it would cost $150 to repair, or I could buy a new phone (with the same flaw) - and blamed it on ME! So I then reread the posts here and saw one of the posters only took the back off (about 0:48 into the video), then, put the tape bundle *on top* of where the touch censors as opposed to going through the complete dismantle, and he swore it worked. So I did the same, wrapping the tape around a couple of more times for good measure. It works GREAT! No problems...THANK YOU RODY!!
I folded mine 9 times. I made it full width then cut it to precisely fit just on the two chips and not overhanging onto the board. Works perfectly the first time!! Take your time and do it right the first time. Take pictures and or keep your screws separated so you get the right screws in the right places!!! I believe there are 7 different kind of screws. Length and width vary. Other than that very good idea! I believe it's a better fix that heat gun soldering it back as it will keep the constant pressure on the chip so the problem does not come back!! Your the man! Thank you.
Thanks for the useful video. Mine just got "the disease" today. Sorry about all the trolls on here that seem to have a financial interest in people using their services so they go out trashing people who provide an alternative solution. Keep up the good work!
It worked! My iPhone 6 Plus became infected with the no touch disease. I watched this video and preformed the operation and now my phone works perfectly! I used 3 little squares of electric tape. Thank you.
I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, for this post. I took a chance and removed the motherboard and followed your instructions, when I put everything back together I was getting grey lines and squares on the screen. I assessed what could be wrong which something must have no been reconnected properly, I re-did the process disassembled everything and to my surprise the apple logo popped up. I was back in business. This trick works. It saved me a lot of money.
This definitely works. Instead of tape, I cut a piece of a fairly thick rubber band and place it on the chips under that tape. Been working for almost two weeks without one little flicker. Thank you for this video.
My phone screen originally was constantly flickering and turning off and on. After i tried this tutorial IT COMPLETELY FIXED THE PROBLEM. I couldn't believe that a piece of electrical tape would fix it but it did. Thanks Rody!
BOOM MIC DROP BIG SHOUT OUT TO YOU RODY DAVIES. IT WORKS as a long time user of iPhone the 6 plus is one of the worst made. i was a user who had to bend his phone everyday all day i was kick off my warranty form At&T and apple so this video works just take your time so noting messes up.
Thank-You so much Rody Davis for this quick fix!! My iPhone 6Plus was unresponsive even to bending it and I was fear that all was going to be lost as I had not backed up for a while, however, I did this, and it has worked 100% for me, the touch screen is working and as we speak I am backing up all my photos from my phone!! Big AAA+++ to this life hack.
Just watched allll these videos doing this and that, but here's what fixed it for me. remove digitizer detach all flex cables from digitizer make sure it's clean carefully and securely attach flex cables (listen for the click) keep your finger pressed very slightly on those flex cables till you get that panel on and bang magic. Works like a charm.
The right way to fix this might be with micro soldering, but this hack worked for my iPhone 6 and has for over a week. Since it cost me time and a piece of electrical tape, I'm satisfied.
man, thank you so much for the original vid and this update. TOTALLY saved me all that money I would've thrown out getting this repaired. I've never done a phone repair before and this was intense for me lol . THE SMALLEST SCREWS ON EARTH.
Haha oh I know, first time i did this it was crazy keeping track of all of them. Just be thankful though because this doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone 4 and 4s repair lol
Thank you. This worked great for me. I have been suffering with the condition for a couple years now and it got really bad recently. I took it to the Apple store since they have a touch disease program but was told my phone was too old Last ditch effort, I follow these instructions and after one false start (cables needed to be reseated) it’s working like a champ! Better than having a glitchy phone and way cheaper than a repair.
Hey thanks for the awesome tip on fixing my Iphone 6 plus. I thought you moved too fast for me (Im a novice with Iphone repair) but i did use the electrical tape trick. I used another video which was much slower and more detailed. Your video was great but I think it was for more experienced Iphone repair folks. I realize you made that disclaimer in the beginning!! Thanks again!!!
After having Touch Disease for 2 weeks, I applied this hack and it has worked perfectly for 2 days now. I'm also being very careful with my phone when placing it down! Thanks :)
From an I.T. professional I would like to say this is a good tip for users whom are either saving up for IC repair or plan to upgrade to a new phone. The iPhone touch disease is something Apple should have fixed before they shipped the phones... But..... Electronic issues keep us professionals in business despite who is at blame (manufacture or customer).
Just completed this work-around on my iPhone 6+, been working perfectly since. Thanks for the video Rody. Will update later if it begins experiencing issues, however I don't have any reason to believe that will occur. For anyone thinking about doing this, do it (order the $12 kit on amazon so you've got the right tools). The hardest part was putting it back together, which just took a bit of time. Also - be sure not to mix up which screws go where, for this I laid everything out on a sheet of graph paper according to its relative position.
Tried your procedure on my 6 plus! Initially ghost touch played for 2 minutes after phone gets little warm there was no ghost touch problem! I’ll update my comment once again ! Thank you !!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! You were EXACTLY right!!! I put two different digitizer-LCD's on my iphone 6 plus, and it would not swipe! I thought I was getting ripped off!!! Since the screen just would not swipe! I was about to throw my iphone out the window and then found your video and did exactly as instructed and just like that my iphone is now swiping without a problem! You are a genius and just thank you for posting this video and sharing it with the world!
Thank you so much! Was going to throw the damn phone in the trash after several months with troubleshooting with no luck. Found this video and gave it a last try, now it's been totally fine for 2 weeks. HUGE thanks !!!
My iPhone 6 had the same issue and this trick surprisingly works so well! Though I’ve looked up on the ifixit tutorial for the disassembly since this video is covering the Plus version, the main goal to give the bulge to the mainboard seems the same. I really appreciated your tutorial. Thanks a lot 😊
Thanks for the video! This was the first time taking an iPhone apart and it works :) Spent $7.99 on an iPhone tool kit from Amazon and didn't have to spend the $149+ to get it fixed elsewhere... now to see how long this repair lasts without doing some other damage.
omg! Thank you so much. I've been trying to fix this from last 6 months. I always knew it is not that big issue just something inside hardware. Thanks a ton!
I know that this is a *very* bad fix, but fixing iPhones for a living myself, I would never do this for a customer, but since it's for my personal phone, I figured why not give it a try, and at my surprise, it does work.
Make sure you put enough tape. Touch Disease came back and I had to re-do it to make the tape thicker. It’s been 3 weeks since I re-did it and its working good so far. 👍🏼 iPhone 6 Plus
My iPhone just got this disease, I really want to fix it myself, but I'm afraid I can't put the pieces back altogether. @Rody, your video is awesome. #twothumbsup!!!
I was able to do this fix on my phone with no problem with the tools that I had. However, a recommendation is for the tape, don't make it too thick because when you put everything back together, the screen will not be flushed. Also, the result on my iPhone 6 Plus is not fixed all the way, the touch on the screen comes and goes ( but not as bad after doing the changes with this video). Overall, good video. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! I just finished fixing my iPhone 6 Plus and it works, I will do an update on this comment to let you know how it's going. Thanks again.
Thanks you so much I just replaced the battery and the screen as it was completely cracked and the battery powered off at 90% saying it had no charge and when I turned it wouldn’t respond to touch and I was trying to find a way to fix and found ur video, thank you so much
This absolutely worked. The only problem was putting all the pieces and screws back since this was my first time opening a phone. You should make a backward video lol. Thank you.
Rody, man tnks so very much, I put electrical tape just 6 slayers of it and it work amazing, tnks so much problem is solved ;-) ill do to my friends iphones tnks again !!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Hey Rody!! Tried everything and it actually worked!! Took me two hours though to disassemble and reassemble. Messed up the screw placements. Had to guess which screw goes where.hehe Thanks man!!! Got my phone working again!
Thanks Rody for the tutorial. My iphone 6+ has this issue, and I had to bend it to work. I've just finished this fix step by step. Everything works by far and no screws were left after assembly, so it's a small success for me ;) I think you should note in your tutorial that it's important to mark/remember all the screws, because they have different lengths. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. Well I just did your method and the heating up the chip with a sodden iron together. Phone powered up and screen is working so far. In addition to replacing the battery. I will check back for time to time on the status, thanks again
My iphone 6 has been acting possessed for the last 6 months or so. Every... Single.... Time... I'd... Use... It...... Screen randomly stops working, sometimes the phone will unlock by itself, open the camera and snap a bunch of photos back to back and then shut down.

This is why you should stick to Android phones for best reliability. Unless you really like the iPhone...

Yes, it should. You could also put an old SIM card on top in between the connectors and the metal plate (upper right) and put it back on without taking all the screws and logic board apart.

I definitely thought I wouldn’t be able to put everything back in its place. I was worried. I just kept skipping back from the end to put it back together. Actually worked.👍👍👍
Did this last night and my 6 plus is working perfectly now!! Thank you so much for this!
I have yet to try this repair but for those who don't understand the SCIENCE behind this. The tape forces the chip down onto the motherboard when its screwed into the housing of the phone.

Great job bro, just did it and I am back up and running, the size of the tape is truly the magic for this fix. Good Job again.

The right way to fix this might be with micro soldering, but this hack worked for my iPhone 6 and has for over a week. Since it cost me time and a piece of electrical tape, I'm satisfied.
man, thank you so much for the original vid and this update. TOTALLY saved me all that money I would've thrown out getting this repaired. I've never done a phone repair before and this was intense for me lol . THE SMALLEST SCREWS ON EARTH.
Haha oh I know, first time i did this it was crazy keeping track of all of them. Just be thankful though because this doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone 4 and 4s repair lol
Rody Davis i've read those tear downs and i was like omg all that work to change the SCREEN lmao
+NHKxt I know haha
Ordered everything to replace the chip but as the parts make their way from China this has helped me use my phone without issue. Nice job.
Isn't a joke, really work to me! Greeeeat! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Man! It worked for me. I saved 95€!
Thank you. This worked great for me. I have been suffering with the condition for a couple years now and it got really bad recently. I took it to the Apple store since they have a touch disease program but was told my phone was too old Last ditch effort, I follow these instructions and after one false start (cables needed to be reseated) it’s working like a champ! Better than having a glitchy phone and way cheaper than a repair.
This worked like a charm. Hope it keeps working
Hey thanks for the awesome tip on fixing my Iphone 6 plus. I thought you moved too fast for me (Im a novice with Iphone repair) but i did use the electrical tape trick. I used another video which was much slower and more detailed. Your video was great but I think it was for more experienced Iphone repair folks. I realize you made that disclaimer in the beginning!! Thanks again!!!
After having Touch Disease for 2 weeks, I applied this hack and it has worked perfectly for 2 days now. I'm also being very careful with my phone when placing it down! Thanks :)
This was a huge help thanks for saving me some money
From an I.T. professional I would like to say this is a good tip for users whom are either saving up for IC repair or plan to upgrade to a new phone. The iPhone touch disease is something Apple should have fixed before they shipped the phones...
But.....
Electronic issues keep us professionals in business despite who is at blame (manufacture or customer).
Worked a charm. Was a bit difficult reversing the process but I got it done
Just completed this work-around on my iPhone 6+, been working perfectly since. Thanks for the video Rody. Will update later if it begins experiencing issues, however I don't have any reason to believe that will occur. For anyone thinking about doing this, do it (order the $12 kit on amazon so you've got the right tools). The hardest part was putting it back together, which just took a bit of time. Also - be sure not to mix up which screws go where, for this I laid everything out on a sheet of graph paper according to its relative position.
It worked! Thank you so much for posting this. God bless you!
+soguon thank you
Oh snap, this actually worked! The screen still has some streaks but at least the touch is working, which is the more important part!
Tried your procedure on my 6 plus! Initially ghost touch played for 2 minutes after phone gets little warm there was no ghost touch problem! I’ll update my comment once again ! Thank you !!
i cant believe that it actually worked... and i got 4 screws as a bonus putting it together
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! You were EXACTLY right!!! I put two different digitizer-LCD's on my iphone 6 plus, and it would not swipe! I thought I was getting ripped off!!! Since the screen just would not swipe! I was about to throw my iphone out the window and then found your video and did exactly as instructed and just like that my iphone is now swiping without a problem! You are a genius and just thank you for posting this video and sharing it with the world!
Thank you so much! Was going to throw the damn phone in the trash after several months with troubleshooting with no luck. Found this video and gave it a last try, now it's been totally fine for 2 weeks. HUGE thanks !!!
My iPhone 6 had the same issue and this trick surprisingly works so well!
Though I’ve looked up on the ifixit tutorial for the disassembly since this video is covering the Plus version, the main goal to give the bulge to the mainboard seems the same.
I really appreciated your tutorial. Thanks a lot 😊
Thanks so much for posting this video. This worked!! Even it it only lasts a few months. It at least works until I can figure out a replacement phone.
Just leaving the comment to say that i tested and Works perfectly on a iphone 6 that i bought.
Many thanks
Thanks for the video! This was the first time taking an iPhone apart and it works :) Spent $7.99 on an iPhone tool kit from Amazon and didn't have to spend the $149+ to get it fixed elsewhere... now to see how long this repair lasts without doing some other damage.
I repaired my firend's iphone 6 plus according to this video. It does work now ! thank for share.
Thank you Rody ! It worked !
I fold the tape 3 times instead 6. It work like a charm. Thanks bro
+miketong2007 awesome!! Thanks for sharing
I kinda rushed it becasue i said to myself if it doesn't work ill just buy a new phone. Didn't really care to much but it actually worked, thanks bro!
omg! Thank you so much. I've been trying to fix this from last 6 months. I always knew it is not that big issue just something inside hardware. Thanks a ton!
Awesome. Don't get the haters. Thanks for the fix.
I know that this is a *very* bad fix, but fixing iPhones for a living myself, I would never do this for a customer, but since it's for my personal phone, I figured why not give it a try, and at my surprise, it does work.
I just wanted to say Thank You for the tip. It's only been a few days but it seems to be working which saved me at least a $100. Thank you!
Make sure you put enough tape. Touch Disease came back and I had to re-do it to make the tape thicker. It’s been 3 weeks since I re-did it and its working good so far. 👍🏼
iPhone 6 Plus
Juan Baez how thick did you do it?
My iPhone just got this disease, I really want to fix it myself, but I'm afraid I can't put the pieces back altogether. @Rody, your video is awesome. #twothumbsup!!!
+Adhi Bon thank you much!
Thanks dude, i was suprised it worked. Can't Thank you enough !!!
Yup! It works, not a complete solution but it's more of a band-aid solution.
I was able to do this fix on my phone with no problem with the tools that I had. However, a recommendation is for the tape, don't make it too thick because when you put everything back together, the screen will not be flushed. Also, the result on my iPhone 6 Plus is not fixed all the way, the touch on the screen comes and goes ( but not as bad after doing the changes with this video). Overall, good video. Thanks.
Had my screen replaced JUST before i saw your video.. Well that didn't work. BUT THIS! Yeeah, it really works. Thanks!
is it still working?
Thank you so much for this video! I just finished fixing my iPhone 6 Plus and it works, I will do an update on this comment to let you know how it's going. Thanks again.
detseroneLAG after 1 month? work fine!!
Thanks you so much I just replaced the battery and the screen as it was completely cracked and the battery powered off at 90% saying it had no charge and when I turned it wouldn’t respond to touch and I was trying to find a way to fix and found ur video, thank you so much
This absolutely worked. The only problem was putting all the pieces and screws back since this was my first time opening a phone. You should make a backward video lol. Thank you.
I didn’t have electrical tape at the time so I used casting tape and I can say it is working fine for 2 days now
Will try this tomorrow wish hope this works
thanks man! great step by step, just did this quick fix and so far so good!!!! ill update status in about a week
moz 2121 are your phone still in good shape?
Rody, man tnks so very much, I put electrical tape just 6 slayers of it and it work amazing, tnks so much problem is solved ;-) ill do to my friends iphones tnks again !!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Hey Rody!! Tried everything and it actually worked!! Took me two hours though to disassemble and reassemble. Messed up the screw placements. Had to guess which screw goes where.hehe Thanks man!!! Got my phone working again!
Thanks for the video. My phone is finally working again.
Thanks it works perfect in my iPhone 6plus you save my money very easy
I combined both of your solutions (soldering and this one). Seems to work. Thank you!
Thanks Rody for the tutorial. My iphone 6+ has this issue, and I had to bend it to work. I've just finished this fix step by step. Everything works by far and no screws were left after assembly, so it's a small success for me ;)
I think you should note in your tutorial that it's important to mark/remember all the screws, because they have different lengths.
Cheers!
Just leave a little material like SIM card between the ic tray. It works amazing
Thanks for the video. Well I just did your method and the heating up the chip with a sodden iron together. Phone powered up and screen is working so far. In addition to replacing the battery. I will check back for time to time on the status, thanks again
Thanks Rody, it did work according to your instructions and I fixed my iphone 6 plus. Great and helpful video.
