Has anyone managed to fix their non-working Face ID on their iPhone XR?
Any recommendations on shops that can fix it for a reasonable price?
I've had shops telling me that they can try to fix it for $x but no guarantee and I still have to pay if it doesn't work. Who would want to go for that....?

Folks can correct me if I’m wrong

Only  is able to get it fixed.
Face ID Auth element is tied to logic board and has to be paired by 

my current iPhone X, out of warranty, have issue with faceid and the ambient sensor. the consultant told me for faceid issue is to do a 1-1 replacement. I was told for iPhone X will be 800plus sgd, and only 90days warranty.

ts probably can refer here for the pricing

I suggest just buy a new phone instead. nonetheless, book an appointment with Apple to do the diagnose.

I ended up trading in my iPhone XR for $400 (a few months ago) to Starhub to buy a new phone. They don't check, nor care, about non-working Face ID.

My iPhone X has been serviced by third party repair shop before for motherboard issue. Is my phone still eligible for Apple battery replacement program at $99?

They got battery replacement programme or just a normal battery replacement you are talking about?

Aww. Should have replaced the battery officially before it went dead and needed a logic board fix 😂

That's what I did. I replace screen at third party. They ruin my face Id and camera . In the end I go back 3rd party fix
