Gadgets from the American company Apple are considered not only the most advanced and stylish, but also the most reliable. The most thorough quality control, strict adherence the latest technologies, the use of high-quality parts and materials - all this contributes to the fact that the smartphone will serve its owner for many years.
However, even such advanced devices have their own resource, after which problems may arise. One of them is that the iPhone screen goes blank for no apparent reason.
Reasons why the proximity sensor does not work on iPhone
Surely, when you receive an incoming call, you have noticed that when you bring your smartphone to your ear, the screen on it goes out automatically, turning on after the end of the dialogue. This is done in order to reduce the load on the battery (the matrix backlight is one of the main consumers of energy), and also to prevent the call from being reset by accidental pressing.
If the iPhone's proximity sensor does not work, no shutdowns occur automatically, and energy begins to be consumed at a tremendous speed. It also happens that after finishing a call, you cannot end the call because the screen does not turn on.
If the iPhone 4 sensor does not work, there may be several reasons for this:
- Mechanical damage. This element is located on top of the front panel, next to the microphone and camera. Therefore, any load placed on this area can cause damage.
- Corrosion. The most dangerous enemy. Sometimes it's not enough to spend complete removal traces of corrosion from the cable to repair the device - you have to completely change the part.
- Dust. Initially, the device body is characterized by maximum tightness. Various loads can damage its integrity. In such a situation, the entry of harmful dust will lead to damage to the internal device.
- Software problems. This problem can be solved as quickly as possible - by simply reflashing the device. But malfunctions software quite rare - more often the problem occurs due to a breakdown of the upper cable.
Cable failure is the main reason why the iPhone 4 sensor does not work
If the iPhone's proximity sensor does not work, then in most cases a damaged cable is to blame. If you have the appropriate experience and tools, you can try to replace it yourself.
To do this, the following manipulations are performed.
- Carefully disassemble the body of the device and remove the battery.
- Using tweezers, carefully remove the speaker and the connector that secures the headset. The screws holding the Home key are unscrewed.
- Carefully pull out the cable with tweezers, which is why the iPhone 4 sensor does not work
- If there are traces of oxide on the cable, but there are no traces of them on neighboring parts, you can try to clean the cable, and then check its performance. If the iPhone turns off badly, you will have to install a new part.
- The cable is placed in its original place, all parts and screws are mounted and tightened in the reverse order.
Needless to say, the slightest flaw in performing this work can lead to accidental damage, after which repairing the gadget will either cost more and take more time, or it will be completely impossible to carry out. Moreover, you will not be able to determine the cause of the failure on your own: it is quite possible that the board or the sensor itself needs to be replaced.
If, after checking the phone settings, the iPhone goes out, then it is better to seek professional help from a service center. You should do the same if you doubt that you can cope with the repair, are afraid of damaging the equipment, or do not have the necessary tools.
