🌟FAQ:
❓Question: Will I lose data during a screen replacement?
✔️Answer: No. The display swap doesn’t erase data, but back up your iPhone first.
❓Question: Why is calibration required after replacement?
✔️Answer: Repair Assistant (via Parts & Service History) pairs the new display and optimizes touch/brightness features like True Tone.
❓Question: My touch has dead zones after install—what now?
✔️Answer: Re-seat display connectors, check for debris, and re-run calibration. If persistent, the panel or connector may be faulty.
❓Question: Is water resistance fully restored?
✔️Answer: Only if you install new adhesive sealing tape correctly. Resealing reduces risk but doesn’t guarantee factory water resistance.
