In this video, I'll walk you through the full step by step process of repairing an iPhone 12 with No Service. This had signal issues after a hard drop. The back glass was broken pretty badly & then it ended up stuck on searching.
I will also show you my method of opening these newer iPhones using a heat pad & isopropyl alcohol.
We walk through the sandwich separation process as well as repairing ripped pads.
Then we go through the full process of reballing the sandwich using the Miing Stencil. We use the clean stencil lift method.
I hope you guys enjoy!

Fun fact if that resister is missing cameras will start off at 2X with a black preview window. GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Good to know!

[@The8GHz]

probably the best youtube video i ever watched, to be honest

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Appreciate it! Thank you so much

[@Jbrimbelibap]

I've been able to activate my iPhone 13 pro using clamps and the reflashing technique. Now I have to be very careful with the tools I'll receive and hopefully do a successful reball. Your video has been immensely helpful already

[@hosseinshemshad8597]

hi. I watched full this video and I love long videos with all techniques. keep going. this is real repair. thanks to you man. I am Hossein from Iran.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thank you! Appreciate the support!

[@gb4041]

thanks for your work. Keep doing long videos and explanation. Helps as a "Beginner" a lot.

[@mirceaalicu]

Awesome video Jesse, as always! After removing the stencil off the bottom board, I used also the hot air to form the balls, but lately I stopped that… just put the board on the heat plate and let the balls form. You won’t get those small balls that you need to clean anymore

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Ah interesting. I will try that next time & see

[@mirceaalicu]

@@JohnWilliams-zo5jf I personally use Mechanic 148 and dry the paste before applying

[@JohnWilliams-zo5jf]

[@BashirMiakhel.]

thanks sir I also technicians but your videos it plays a hugely important rule in my knowledge in my field thanks for sharing real knowledge

[@parkybob22]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOO AWESOMEEEEE!!! im so glad i found your video. I will def will be in contact about getting my iphone fixed. Really loved the video and how you take your time to address the issues and not take short cuts. Excellent!!! Price of repair is small compared to cost of new phone or even used phone that who knows may have the same issues.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thanks a ton for the awesome feedback! Hit me up whenever you need help with your iPhone!

[@mgomez5606]

Why would I get message in settings that my iPhone 12 screen is not original after reconnecting it again Jesse?

[@A.Z.I.Z]

I wanted to ask, I have the exact same problem, but I don't want to lose the version my phone has. Is it possible to bypass the forced restore after the repair process?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

No

[@Jbrimbelibap]

The solder used in between the sandwich layers if off lower melting point right ? So it is possible to float the different layers with flux, poke the board and let it cool without actually separating it ? That way you reflow potentially broken balls without having to reball everything I did watch the full video, very useful to know that if the phone was restored without baseband working then it will require a restore everytime to check if the repair was a success.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

12 series and newer do not have low melt solder, so that won't work. It's also not a good idea to do that because more often than not, there's ripped pads in between the sandwich. You need to split it to check for that. Otherwise, you're setting yourself up for a warranty repair

[@Jbrimbelibap]

@@VCCBoardRepairs good to know, thanks for your reply.

[@optimizelogicrepair2784]

I use the same solder wick. I found it by accident, I was ordering it from NRF, until I found out he is buying this and repooling it and selling it at a premium. I watched an old video of his and saw him using it from the original spool, so I went and bought 4 of them. Although I don't condone the practice, it is indeed a superior product so in retrospect he did me a favor.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

It's good stuff for sure! haha

I like the long videos. I like to c the hole process and hear advises.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Awesome! Thanks Edu KZbin

[@ecripted]

Impressive work,, Better than Factoy.... Good job

[@AureaBulgaria]

Probs a beginner question, but why does it mean game over if baseband is dead? 19:30 for reference Can’t it just be reballed/replaced from donor board?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

It's paired & not replaceable

[@wairheefekpokpo6152]

235°C is too hight to remove it...using force to remove the upper part will reap off the pad. Let it heat up to about 180°C and use hot air gun of 150°C with a wide nozzle in low air to heat through in a circular manner just like you do when removing protective plates.

[@mgomez5606]

Jesse, I saw you video on a se where you used jumper wires to fix mb and explained what problems a bad charged flex would cause. I replaced the charger flex on my iphone 12 and now it charges with cord. But my touch does not work now. Can charge port on this model cause this because I ordere a new screen for it.

[@mgomez5606]

Jessie, I replaced the screen and all is good otherbthan message gor mot original part but I don't care.

[@miguelmacke4499]

Hello, dear author, could you record a video on true-ton repair and battery percentage recovery using the A108 box programmer?

Can you replace a baseband ic if your baseband is completely broken?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Nope. It's game over

@@VCCBoardRepairs thank you

@@VCCBoardRepairs is wifi connected to the baseband because my phone still has wifi but the sim signal is duped

Hey Jesse - I bought the scope you linked, as well as the 4k camera and the .5 barlow. I've got this set up on a 4k TV but what I see on the screen does NOT look like 4k. Through the scope with my eyes is amazing, but the screen, not so much. What's your secret?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

This is a great question you can post about in my group. Along with pictures and how you have everything plugged in Https://www.vccboardrepairs.com/vcc-fb-group

[@iicaie]

Do we have to replace the thermal paste

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I don't think it's necessary

[@ArsalanKhan-if7ch]

Are these phones reliable after repair i have a iphone 12 with same problem

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yes Definitely! As long as a reputable technician performs the repair

My phone died. Brought it for repair. Told me it'll need boardwork. They did. Then told me baseband chip was causing the short. They removed it. Now I have a working iPhone with no cellular service (only wifi). Question: Will dual-sim adapters via bluetooth provide alternative cellular service? I had this crazy idea that since the sim is mounted on the adapter, it has it's own baseband chip there. sorry and and thank you in advance.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

No that won't work

[@dajdeja]

@@VCCBoardRepairs so my only option would be full board replace or full phone replace.. oh god

Funny that a company fix the prices and later they offer disscounts because the price maybe are too high..or why not sale to the right price from the start?

What are you referring to?

In you video you say many times about getting disscounts on your website VCCBoardRepairs. By the way is annoying to see adds in your video talking about thatand not get advise about that will be adds on the video@@VCCBoardRepairs
