Great stuff Jason, love this new format. You seem to be building your confidence a lot more too which is great to see

Wow crazy find with the jump you're an absolute genius sometimes we need to take the long difficult path to find the short easy ones great stuff Jason very inspiring stuff!!

Awesome, great soldering skills! And for offering this valuable info at the end, earned from your hard work.

I was engrossed in this video the whole time, fantastic job and made it a very entertaining watch :)

[@sharfazhameed6382]

“This ic looks like it has been extracted like wisdom tooth removed with roots taken out” 😂😂😂🤣. Jason made the option B better than any plan on earth. Great effort bro. Out standing job from all the videos I have seen from yours. Now Jason straight competition with G-LON from China.

[@ststele]

Thank you! :-) I can't believe that I never tried to tie VDD_BOOST to MAIN.. tough lesson here! Ohhhh, I seriously look up to the guys in China. Frank w/Fonekong doesn't get near enough attention!

I've made a note of this one for sure. Great skills here and another top video. Keep them coming please Jason. You are indeed one of my masters that I love to follow and watch. Have a great christmas over there and keep yourself and your family safe.

[@davidsonjunes]

I laughed in pain once you hooked vdd main to boost. I felt the pain with that one. Great work! Its good to learn new things.

[@mdmsr2000]

You reminded me of something I used to say as a tech. I'm retired now. Electronics work on smoke. If you let the smoke out, it doesn't work anymore.

[@MrDjitamar]

You are a master . Its just amazing how much paitence you have !

[@markharrisllb]

Your knowledge and understanding of electronics is phenomenal, and you explain what you’re doing and why so clearly. Thank you.

We love it when you talk about balls Jason - shiny balls, hairy balls, corroded balls, fine balls and shorted balls. Add a bit of ball squeezage, and we have some quality content, balls to the wall style. Nice repair and a bit of dead bug IC reinstatement thrown in for good measure. A very Merry Christmas for you and your family too Jason 🎄

[@rodrigomaero]

I wouldn't dare simply jump vdd_main to vdd_boost, for the safety of the data. Although come to think of it, it's far less intrusive to the board and there is a lot less risk than soldering ics to a damaged board (you never know what secret damage is there waiting for you to heat up the board). Nice scientific experiment! Love it! Hope you are doing really really well Jason, have a good one!

[@antoninegri5730]

VDD boost will only be needed when VDD main falls below the nominal value that is required for VDD boost. I.e part of the phone needs greater than 4v all the time. As the batter drops I would expect VDD main to drop as well.

[@KD0CAC]

From surface mount construction - to point to point construction ;)

[@APSuk2]

Six Pads & hairy balls, you lucky son of a gun! Jumping that boost IC actually resulting in a booting phone blew my mind. Amazing stuff as always Jason.

For cutting tiny wires, cuticle tweezers! They work great, another term is "clover thread tweezers"

[@KingOfKYA]

I am guessing that chip only boosts when battery level gets low. Based on a project I working on that has a 3.5v rail that only boosts for a short time when the battery(lithum) is nearly dead and runs a as a basic ldo the rest of the time.

[@elyaspasha9860]

[@aaronwilliams7062]

Nice work, btw the burned area contains carbon and is most definitely conductive!

[@xxycom8963]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You got patience (and persistence) 😁

[@friendly0]

The charred material is conductive. It's been carbonised due to the initial short, and you should dig that stuff out and verify shorts are gone before repowering the board

[@dave7010]

Hi, nice to see you back. Great work as usual. Happy Xmas mate and a great 2022. 👍👍

Hello Jason, can you drop a link for the camera lens you use for the microscope camera?

[@qwedkedofficial8514]

I am a tech living in Pakistan i’ve tested that bypassing DC to DC ic on android phones and it does turn on the phone just take jumper from Vbat to VPH but never tested this on iphones your video helped me alot now i know this trick works in iphones as well

[@ststele]

That is good to know! I have only ever done this on iPhones didn't know it would work on Samsung phones with VBAT. Thank you!

[@skuula]

Hey, I'm just being an ignorant nut I'll ask anyway: if the purpose is just to recover the data, could one not have fed in an external supply voltage instead of fixing an internal boost converter?

[@kotm3]

You sir have skills!

[@alexrivera.churchpianist]

High quality content right here!

[@SBMTeamRajasthan]

Sir what is name of your microscope camara

[@klazzera]

now i really wonder what would go wrong in the long run by bridging vdd main to boost

[@big0bad0brad]

Likely shut down or crash when battery voltage gets lower. Not important for data recovery purposes though.

[@KFC66]

I'm surprised that Manscaped hasn't reached out to sponsor you with this obsession over smooth hair-free balls.

[@josearrasola7236]

Hello sir . I bs you not I had just ask Paul this morning about an iPhone XS Max it bout fine over heats then shutdown I can’t find the right shorted cap or dial but I had ask what if I move all the ic over to lock but will working board will it still work as normal ??? Thank you sir

[@ststele]

The chips can be moved over for full functionality but it would take someone very confident to do so. I've been doing it for data access but wouldn't want to guarantee that everything would work 100%.

You could just short jumper VDD MAIN to VDD BOOST and use a full charge battery to recover data..

In Germany there is one Guy called ben pe from resq he is a King at Data resq. Because He Swaps Boards in 30-40 min and therefore He gets 99% of the time the Data Back from the phones.
