Face ID · what it looks like
  • Face ID stopped working after a drop — dot projector flex damage is common at the impact angle.
  • 'Face ID Not Available' or 'Move iPhone Lower/Higher' loops — sensor or flex fault.
  • Face ID disabled after a third-party screen replacement — flex transfer was missed.
  • Face ID works in some lighting but fails in dark — IR camera failing.
  • Face ID Setup completes but recognition is unreliable — sensor calibration drift after damage.

What we check first
  • Reset Face ID first (Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Reset) — software-only step, free.
  • Inspect the Face ID flex on top of the OLED — visible damage on screen-replacement transfer.
  • Test in dark and bright lighting separately — distinguishes IR camera failure from dot-projector failure.
  • Inspect for water exposure history — Face ID flex is in the same path as front-camera moisture ingress.
Repair path

Counter-level: 1–2 hours for Face ID flex transfer issues from prior third-party screen swap (we lift the original Face ID flex from your old screen and move it correctly to the new screen). For drop-damaged flex on the screen itself, we replace the flex assembly. Workshop-level (Kepong HQ): when the dot projector or IR camera itself has failed (most common after drops on iPhone X / XS / XR / 11 first-gen Face ID hardware), the diagnosis moves to component-level. Apple's Face ID hardware is paired to the logic board — we use serial-preservation tools to keep Face ID working with the original board. Not recoverable: severely drop-damaged dot projectors on first-gen Face ID iPhones (X / XR / XS) sometimes can't be salvaged; in those cases the iPhone keeps working but Face ID is permanently disabled and the customer falls back to passcode.

SEC-08 / SUPPORT · Questions

Before you walk in.

Common questions. For unlisted cases, contact SPR support directly via WhatsApp.

Q.01Face ID broke after a screen replacement at another shop — fixable?[+]
└─ Almost always yes. The most common cause is the Face ID flex from the old screen wasn't transferred correctly to the new one. We lift the original flex and re-mount it to the existing replacement screen. Free diagnosis confirms before any charge.
Q.02Can Apple-genuine parts restore Face ID on a third-party screen?[+]
└─ Apple's Face ID hardware is paired to the logic board, not the screen. We use proper transfer tools to preserve the pairing on every Face ID flex move. Apple does not sell Face ID modules to repair shops — anyone claiming to install 'genuine Apple Face ID' on a non-Apple repair is misleading. We restore Face ID using your original flex on a quality replacement screen.
Q.03Why does my iPhone X Face ID just stop working after a drop?[+]
└─ iPhone X / XR / XS first-gen Face ID flex is more exposed than later generations. Drop impact at the right angle cracks the dot-projector flex or shifts the IR camera alignment. We can usually repair via Kepong HQ component-level work; severe drop damage to the dot projector itself sometimes cannot be salvaged and we tell you that before charging anything.
Q.04Where can I get iphone face id repair near me in KL or Selangor?[+]
└─ SPR has 16 walk-in branches across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor — Kepong, Uptown Damansara, Puchong Kenari, Sri Petaling, Taman Segar, Setapak, Mahkota Cheras, Pandan Indah, Ampang, Mid Valley, IOI City Mall, Sungai Wang, Maluri, Equine Park, Taipan USJ, and Kuchai Lama. Walk into any branch — no appointment needed — or WhatsApp us a photo of your iPhone first to confirm parts at the branch nearest you.
Q.05How long does iphone face id repair take?[+]
└─ Typically 1–2 hr at any of our 16 branches. Walk in without an appointment, or WhatsApp us your model to confirm stock first.
Q.06Which iPhone models are covered?[+]
└─ All iPhone models: iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd gen), iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 series including all Pro, Pro Max, Plus, and Mini variants. Older iPhones (X, XR, XS, 8, 7, 6s) supported on a parts-availability basis at most branches.
Q.07What does iphone face id repair cost in Malaysia?[+]
└─ Cost depends on the iPhone model and the parts tier you choose. We don't post fixed prices because every case is different. WhatsApp us a photo of the damage and the model and we send a free quote within minutes. No charge for diagnosis if you walk in.
Q.08Is SPR an Apple Authorised Service Provider?[+]
└─ No — SPR is independent. We're not Apple, not an Apple Authorised Service Provider, and we don't claim to be. We've been repairing Apple devices for 17 years across 16 branches in KL and Selangor. If you specifically want Apple-genuine parts and an Apple-issued service record, your only option is Apple's own out-of-warranty service. If you want fast same-day independent repair with a 6-month warranty at independent shop pricing, that's us.
Q.09What warranty do I get?[+]
└─ Every face id at SPR comes with a 6-month warranty on parts and labour, honoured at all 16 branches across KL and Selangor — bring it to any SPR location for warranty work, not just the branch where the repair was done. Water-damage repairs carry a shorter warranty due to the unpredictable progression of corrosion.
Q.10What kind of replacement parts do you use?[+]
└─ OEM-grade parts as standard — manufactured to the same specifications as the originals. Premium-grade options are available on request for most models. We show you both tiers upfront so you can choose what fits. Apple does not sell parts to repair shops, so no independent shop in Malaysia can offer Apple-genuine parts; anyone claiming so is misleading.
Q.11Do you offer a free diagnosis?[+]
└─ Yes. Free diagnosis on walk-in at every branch. If we cannot repair your device, you pay nothing — no diagnostic fee, no consultation charge. Many fixes (lint cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, software-only) cost nothing if that's all that's needed.

Brought in my iPhone 13 after it took a swim in the pool. Two other shops said replace the phone. SPR Kepong ultrasonic-cleaned the board overnight and it's been working perfectly — that was six months ago.
