iPhone 15 Pro Data Recovery - How to track down secondary power rail shorts.
In this video I fix an iPhone 15 Pro broken motherboard. This iPhone suddenly died on my customer without warning; no water damage, no drops. I start by checking the DC power supply amperage consumption and the results lead me to suspect I have a PMIC output, or secondary power rail, short to ground.
Following that suspicion, I check every power rail that I can and eventually find one with a shorted capacitor on the line. It is great to be able to find such an easily solvable problem, but also sad that something so small can completely disable such an expensive device.
What makes it worse is that these types of motherboard issues are of no fault of the customer. They are a spontaneous occurrence that come as a result of imperfect design and manufacturing. Most iPhones will never see these types of problems, but for the owners of the iPhones that do, it can be devastating if their data is not backed up.

However, I had no image on the screen and needed to find the reason why. This involved measuring the...
iPhone 11 Keeps Restarting - When the "Typical" Issues are NOT the Problem.

In this video I show an iPhone 11 that is stuck with a 3 minute reboot. Specifically, I am seeing "missing sensor: prs0" in the panic log. Most commonly, this issue is resolved by changing the charging port. More rarely, you may find that you have bad resistors around the charging port. Even more rarely, you may have to change either your audio codec IC or your audio amp IC. In this case, none ...

How to fix iPhone SE 2 that keeps rebooting & has 'no touch'
Переглядів 5 тис.7 місяців тому
I show the process of fixing an iPhone se 2 that either has no touch function, keeps restarting, or both.

This is a common problem on this model and shows up frequently. However, being a relatively old model, I am...

      There is some technique involved but that is the best way in my opinion! You just have to be careful you don't knock any chips when pulling it up, as that can easily happen if you aren't careful with all the corners. Yeah, this didn't have any reboot issues.

    • @iBoardRepair
      @iBoardRepair 5 днів тому

      Usually that indicates some sort of NAND corruption. There is not usually a way to retreive data with that error. You can try to restore the phone to make it work. It may or may not restore.
