Some users say that the flashlight greyed out in the control center, the flash not working when taking photos, or the LED flash not working. iPhone flashlight not working? We restarted the iPhone, and test it again; the problem is still there. We guess there is a problem with the iPhone 6 motherboard. We need to disassemble and check it.

Use screwdrivers to remove the screws next the iPhone lighting port, put iPhone 6 on the CPB Screen Heating Pad, turn the iPhone display screen down and connect it to the CPB screen separator. After a while, we can take out the iPhone 6, and then use LCD sucker to open the iPhone screen easily.
