Hi! I have in my hands an iPhone that I suspect has either long screw damage or a bad chestnut chip (that might have gotten too much heat in the past). The thing is I would rather not remove the crew hole for nothing in case it is not the cause of my no image/backlight problem. Is there any way to check it before cracking it open? Thanks! EDIT: Photos of the actual screw hole
EDIT 2: Took out the screw hole, there are some delamination but not too much
Btw sorry for the quality of the screen! ;D EDIT 3: Scraped the top layer and it ended up really well! Straight away I can see broken likes (I think I broke 2 of them, but that should be easy to fix).
Take a good look with a microscope inside the screw-hole standoffs to see if there is any appearance of damage. If you have any doubts, then remove it, it;’s actually very straight-forward. The standoff is just soldered into place so you remove it like you would remove a shield or any IC.
