How to fix a seriously broken iPhone 7

Received a broken iPhone 7 and a iPhone 7 with ID lock, according to his description, the damaged iPhone 7 has no ID lock, but it unable to boot. The customer wants us to fix it, and then move it to the iPhone which with iCloud lock. But now, we need to fix the damaged iPhone first.


After checking, the iPhone is hurting a lot by a serious drop. The screws on motherboard have been dumped, as shown in picture 6-3-1.


Connect it to UD 1505TA DC power supply first, it shows large current leakage. After measuring, we found the iPhone NAND flash 3V power supply was short circuit. After observation, we found the iPhone motherboard slot position is bent; the short circuit may also be in this position. After remove the two capacitors, which on the side of the NAND flash, detecting it again with DC power supply, now it can be turn on normally.


Turn on iPhone and test functions on iPhone, we found there is no WIFI; sometimes it will be stuck when into the settings. After measuring with Fluke 15B+ Digital Multimeter, the side of wife clock signal r0807 has 1.8V, the other side which is through to wifi module 17 pin has no voltage. Replace the resistance, and weld the jump wire by QUICK 861DW rework station, the fault is still exist. Decisively remove Wi-Fi module, and then the solder pad drops points, it is common in the iPhone that dropped, weld the jump wire first, as shown in picture 6-3-3.


The WIFI module also drop points, we can check it under the 7-45X Trinocular stereo microscope. We want to test functions by turn on iPhone without installing Wi-Fi module, but when apply power on it, it's leaking again. Now, we need to use the rosin methods to fix it.  After remove the heating capacitor, power on iPhone and test it, the setting function is normal now. Next we need to install WiFi module, after finish it, test the function, the Wi-Fi is back to normal. However, sometimes it restarts automatically.


Considering there is a slight distortion in the middle of the iPhone motherboard, the audio can cause a reboot, so we remove the audio first, also drops points. After soldering jump wire, turn on iPhone and test it, all functions is normal now.

Now we need to replace external configuration. Use JM-P01 Essential Electronics Toolkit to disassemble the iPhone that with iCloud lock, please be careful not to break the line of the iPhone. Then replace the fingerprint that on the iPhone screen, because the under of fingerprint have glue, so please be careful not to damage the IC.


Finally, install the repaired motherboard, assemble the iPhone, turn it on and test it, now all is normal. The iPhone 7 has been repaired!

Solution: iPhone X Won't Turn On

According to the customer's description, the iPhone X would not turn on after it drop accidentally. Then the cell phone reports error 56 when restore it. How did this happen? Let's test and repair step by step. Since iPhone X motherboard 2 layers are connected through the middle column, the solder points are very easy to get dropped. so we guess that the solder points from NFC chip to the CPU part have fell off. Disassemble the iPhone X by iPhone opening tools , remove the upper board off the main board, when separate the main board we see there is a row of points have fell off. Check the location map on WUXINJI dongle , it is surrounded by a ground wire, in fact, there are 6 useful points dropped. The ground wire does not need to be filled, the 6 useful points are added by professional phone welding tools. These are the signal wires of the NFC chip, so the iPhone X would report error 56. Then the tin of the middle column is repaired by iPhone X BGA reballing ste...

iPhone 6 Display Failure after Replacing LCD

The iPhone 6 display is black after replacing LCD. After checking, the diode data of display socket is normal and all power supply for iPhone display IC  output is normal. Testing by  DC power supply , we find the iPhone current is abnormal. When press the iPhone power button, the boot current is obviously large. The current reached 100mA when press the power button. After remove the display tube, the current still the same, which means there is a short circuit. Measure the voltage output of each circuit of power supply with Fluke 15B+ Digital Multimeter , then surprised to find that there are really short circuit places. LD010 is short circuit; we suspect that the filter capacitance on the circuit has been penetrated. After remove the iPhone power control IC , we found it is ground short circuit. Open the WUXINJI Dongle  to check the iPhone schematic circuit, we found that this circuit is the display card image transmission MIPI data bus power supply. CPU brea...

Solution: Why iPhone X Voltage Keeps Jumping

After getting the iPhone X motherboard to test, we observe the current value repeatedly jumps between 0mA and 50mA on DC power supply , and it is different from the normal booting current. Next, test whether the power supply of every circuit is normal. PP_VDD_MAIN is measured 4.2V; PP_VDD_BOOST measured is 4.2V. PP1V8-ALWAYS is 1.8V, all the values are normal. But when testing PP1V1_S2, PP0V8_SOC_FIXED_S1, PP1V8_S2 and other circuit voltage that output by power chip U2700 voltage are jumping constantly. According to previous experience, voltage jump is usually caused by a power supply circuit of U2700 output. Measured with digital multimeter , there is no short circuit was found for the dipole value of all power supply to ground. We repaired iPhone 7P before and know that if crystal oscillator is false welding can also cause voltage jumping, And if iPhone CPU  power supply is abnormal also can cause voltage jumping. Check the crystal oscillator we find no problem, then check th...
