Tutorial: iPhone 7 Backlight Failure Repair


What are the characteristics of iPhone 7 backlight failure? According to our maintenance experience, we will encounter some common situations, such as iPhone touch screen does not show, the screen light is dim or can not adjust brightness. In this article, we will introduce how to repair iPhone 7 backlight failure step by step.


At first, we connect WUXINJI Dongle to check iPhone 7 backlight power supply schematic diagram. 

By reading the iPhone schematic diagram, we know that the iPhone backlight boost IC output three sets of backlight power supply signals, they were PP_LCM_BLANODE (16.5V Cathode Voltage), PP_LCM_BL_CAT1 and PP_LCM_BL_CAT2, these three circuit signals are sent to the display interface via three inductors respectively, the pictures as follows. 
 
The three inductors are easy to damage, and then cause iPhone to have no backlight or light instability, sometimes bright, but sometimes not bright. In this case, we can repair it through short connections.

If there is no backlight on iPhone 7, use the fluke 15B+ digital multimeter to measure the diode data of the PPYLCMCYBLYCAT1, PPYLCMYBLY anode (backlight anode power) and PPYLCMYBLYCAT2, and put it under the stereo zoom microscope to check the short connection on the three inductors, if their work is good, they It can be repaired by replacing the iPhone backlight to boost the IC.

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...

Solution: iPhone 6 Signal Has No Service

We are going to fix an iPhone 6 device today, the iPhone 6 signal keeps searching state after booting, there is no baseband in local setting, and no series number shows up when dialing *#06# serial number. We find the iPhone 6 LCD (has been replaced once, this kind of situation is preliminary determined for baseband CPU false welding, it is relatively common situation on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6P. Anyway we need to test first! From the simple start, measuring the single iPhone 6 motherboard  baseband power supply, first measure the main power supply 4.2V (C3221_RF). Then testing basebnd output voltage of power supply on C3262, C3252, C3259, C3256, if there is a voltage without first measuring resistance, if resistance is normal, then replace normal baseband power test; if four of them are simultaneously without resistance, then you need to reinstall the baseband CPU. There is a small glass tube base strip above the baseband power supply, it must be noticed when the main ...
