E-repair WiFi Signal Antenna Flex Cable Ribbon Replacement for iPhone 6 (4.7)

> 3 dayThe GPS on my iPhone 6 had stopped working. It would only give a general location, instead of a very specific one. I read on-line about this antenna, and decided to give it a go. The price was good, and I had very little to lose. I followed the procedures to replace the antenna at iFixit, and managed to keep track of all the screws and parts during disassembly. (I recently purchased a silicone soldering mat which has lots of little wells to put screws into. It helped tremendously to keep the screws in order for reassembly.) When I got the logic board out, I found that the existing antenna had disconnected one of its connectors, so I am sure that I found the problem in my phone. However, I was not lucky. Instead of the connector coming loose, the entire connector had broken free from the logic board. The center piece of the connector was missing altogether, and at any rate I do not have the tools to re-solder the connector to the board. So I did not get a chance to install the new antenna, and my phone still does not have GPS. I was careful putting the parts back together, and everything else still seems to work as it did. The WiFi flex circuit that I received arrived in excellent condition, and when I inspected the original part side-by-side with the new one, the parts looked to be made of identical components, and the quality on the replacement looked equal to the original part. I am quite sure that if my phone did not have a broken connector that this part would have most likely fixed my issue.

> 3 dayI BOUGHT THIS AND REPLACED MY OLD ONE. THE PRODUCT WASNT WORKING. BUT I CAN NOT SAY IT WAS A CRAP PRODUCT OR NOT BECAUSE WHEN IT ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE THERE WAS ALSO A HUGE BOOT PRINT ON THE ENVELOPE.

> 3 dayWiFi , Bluetooth , and GPS were all failing. Was about to give up on my phone but learned of this little antenna. Saved me so much money not having to buy a new phone. Only downside is installation required removal of 21 very small screws. Plus the connections on the antenna are also small. Requires a steady hand and eyes that work well. I followed along with a YouTube video I found. Took an hour or so. Worked slow and careful.

> 3 dayThis is the only part you need to fix weak Wifi & GPS location issues. Be careful taking phone apart, follow a video and put screws in a order so you can remember how to put them back! Bluetooth works better too than before, when it was weak as well. This is the part!

Greater than one weekGood quality antenna. Snapped right into place and solved the low WiFi signal issue. I recommend:) If you don’t have experience with really small components. Bring it to someone who does!

> 3 dayI was frustrated with my iPhone 6. I was not able to use wifi or GPS once I was moving. I took apart my phone and replaced this cheap simple part and my phone is like new for the last 5 days. I no longer need a new phone
