Not long ago, we taught you a simple method of repairing the face ID. Using the AY A108 programmer and AY dot matrix flex cable, there is no need for soldering and jump wiring, and the operation steps are very simple. However, using this method, you need to download the AY software on the computer, and connect the programmer to the computer to restore the data. Now we have an easier way to restore the face ID, without soldering and jump wiring, or downloading any software, let's show you.

Tools we need: JC V1SE (WiFi version), JC External Face ID Repair Flex Cable, Lightning Data Cable, Type-C Data Cable
