Fixing an iPhone X that wont power up (To recover data)

[@JimNichols]

I love the fact that you are self effacing and just easy going, making fun of yourself all the time. Some repair techs I watch on here could use their heads as Goodyear blimps thinking that they are all that and a pinch of salt. Thank you for being just a normal (well kinda normal, as normal folks don't subject themselves willingly to the Apple companies plan for non repairable electronics) everyday "dang did you see what I just did" kinda guy! Thanks for the videos and the time it takes to make them!

[@irfannrajpootofficials36]

Well done Jason i like it the way you diagnose fault and and repair do micro soldering etc...

[@NerdTechLab]

Oh mate, I really enjoy and learn watching your videos, thanks

[@rodrigomaero]

Nice easy one! hope I get one of those anytime soon... here in Arg it's full on summer, so many drowned ones Awesome job Jason, as always!

[@ststele]

Thanks =) I'm hoping for a few more easy ones right away but it's not very likely.

[@iTCXtreme]

A lots of the time easy ones turns out to be difficult. But it was worth it. Well done and keep those amazing vids coming. Have a great weekend. 😊👍

[@ststele]

Thanks! You too. :)

Awesome job Jason always a pleasure to see you work and I swear I learn something new every time I watch a video

Thank you! :)

No problem every time I get those notifications I always click right away and I can’t wait to see you do some live streams that would be awesome keep up the awesome work

[@zx8401ztv]

Nicely done Dr jason :-D That pcb just lined up spot on, i think the patient will live lol. Hyper ventilation on stand by :)

[@ststele]

Thank u kind sir. It took a little longer than what's in the video but I made an effort to shorten this one up a bit. Still hyperventilating a bit as people find nasty stuff I left behind! Ahhh, youtube. :-)

[@davidadams7950]

Where'd you get the pry tool you popped the screen off with? Thanks.

[@bags534]

Hey I also have one of those that was never near any water and didn't have any falls. It had a Vdd_Main short and my dumbass accidentally gave it 5V from a 10A power supply straight to the board... It let out a poof of smoke before I pulled the cable. Do you know what component is likely to burn first?

[@lars-akeaspgren7474]

Nice work Jason!! 👍🏻

[@brandonwoodford579]

Hey, i love your videos. i have a odd question. i was interested in if say the bmp180 barometer, do that get damaged in any way in the sonic cleaner? i have boards that i would like to throw in the ultrasonic, but i am worried about damaging the baro

[@raulmorel8292]

hi jason, could you link the pcb tool separator for iphone x , nice work and goog trick with the screw lol

[@F4LDT-Alain]

Great video as usual. I really like the tone, the clear explanations. As instructive as it is entertaining. I have a (naive) question though: by what physical or chemical process can a cap short circuit because of water damage? I mean, I can easily imagine how impure water can cause all kind of short circuits between traces, between connector pins and such. But inside a cap? I don't get it. They're sealed components aren't they? An electrolytic cap can short due to an internal chemical degradation process, I get it too. But here? and how is that processed triggered by liquid ingress?

You didn't look at the bottom board! What is that at 19:16 - looks funky.

You left out the most interesting part: was this phone repaired? To me it seemed that it has a real chance that just putting everything back to the customer's case, the phone will work flawlessly.

Hello, can you answer my question on the iPhone 7 Plus when calling and receiving the call? I cannot hear the caller or he hears me and if I use the ear the ear do not work except the Bluetooth speaker so what is the fault is the board or the microphone thank you dear 😊

[@aqeelalsodani3264]

thank you so much 😊

[@pratikshitsaini5444]

Headphone jack issue

[@OnYourSquare]

Those are the symptoms of classic Audio IC failure. Part of the chip has come loose from the board. It's a fairly straightforward repair. Remove the if. Run a wire to connect the missing paid to the IC. Then reinstall the chip. Problem fixed.

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

Good video, btw you should update your amazon links because half of your items on those links are not available any longer!

Sir How to find mobile ic's right position without any Mark's in ic's top side

[@ststele]

oh man, this can be tricky if there are no markings and no missing/nc pads. If you have a board view, you may be able to figure out which pads are ground & then use that to determine how it's orientation is on the board.

Nice sob story.

[@ststele]

I think it's genuine. I should have shown it on screen but didn't feel like editing out stuff that would identify her.

[@matikaczka]

i really don't like the way u repair stuff. first of all removing capacitor like that u can rip off pads. second of all putting so big current to damaged board can do more bad. board is looking good and the client can have normally functioning phone

[@ststele]

Removing that cap with heat would have been more stressful to the board due to it being lead free solder. I do that to keep the board temp low. If the pads get torn (which they never do on these caps), it would not make a bit of difference. Removing that cap with heat however, will lower over-all success rate. It's all to beat the odds. Edit: and 3a of current never hurt any board on vdd main. Maybe a bit hard on the mosfet but it's not near enough to hurt the board.

[@matikaczka]

@@ststele I still disagree. There are special soldering tips like tweezers that u can use. also u can add a bit of Your own Pb tin, it will mix and effectively it will lower down the melting temperature and u can easily unsolder it.

[@ststele]

@@matikaczka I agree with you there. In situations where I need to be extra careful & must de-solder something, that's how I do it (dilute with leaded or even low-melt first). I have FM-2023 tweezers but hardly ever use them.

[@OnYourSquare]

Why take the risk on a high dollar repair? Popping off the capacitor is orders of magnitude safer than using heat. Professionals understand. It's the people who want or are attempting to learning that will knit-pick the meaningless details.
