Chosen Solution
I have moved an iPhone X motherboard (MB, Front camera flex, Face ID) into another iPhone X’s body. Everything works fine but the NFC (Apple Pay to be exact). Apple Pay still work if i put the MB back to the old housing. Can someone help? thanks heaps
Try transferring the NFC cable to the new housing and see what happens. I would imagine it is serialized.
It is possible to swap NFC flexes, I have done it successfully. With iPhone’s I always restore with iTunes and if it fails a 3rd party software. Software, software, software. Assuming all the parts are good it cures all manner of ills.
I have the same problem, My repairer said to get NFC cable (iPhone X Replacement Bluetooth Antenna Flex NFC Antenna Cable 721-00021 UK) But im not sure about a bluetooth antenna fixing a charging and apple pay issue.
Often times it’s a loose screw or the antenna ground is not in the right spot (misaligned). commonly found in the top corner of the rear housing near the camera or on the opposite side near wifi/bluetooth antenna or shield. I believe it runs behind the rear camera on the X.
