All I have to do is record a video talking about how most iPhone 7 failures are not VDD_MAIN shorts an VIOLA!! 3 in a row VDD_MAIN shorts. Happy days :-) Many of you are probably wondering how we are liking Florida --- WE ARE LOVING IT! I'll be posting more about our move very soon now that we are more settled in.

[@muhammadrasheed6849]

STS Telecom hey there that was amazing. Would you help me fixing an issue with my iPhone 5s? after replacing the battery everything worked ok but Bluetooth phone calls. Bluetooth music, recording and WhatsApp phone calls all are working, but Bluetooth phone calls isn’t. Any idea?

[@chitharanjanreddy1130]

Which software you use the ic chose in pc ....plz provide me the software download link...

[@kadivamurray5477]

Can an iPhone 7plus that had liquor poured on the face b fixed? It doesn’t turn on and I can’t get any data from it help plz

[@susanabushaban2719]

STS Telecom Hi can you tell me what might be wrong I left my iPhone 7plus in car it was very hot stayed in car for 5 hours I tried reboot nothing plus holding volume down and power at same time still black screen. Do you think the heat did something

[@_______1351]

How much do u charge for repairs?

Good to see you back, glad the move went well :D

[@ohmz6192]

This guy is selfless, he's willing to share secret info about phone repairing.. I just found this channel yesterday when I was searching on how to start your own phone repairing business.. I've learned a lot from just watching your two videos.. Thanks a lot.. I just hit the subscribe button 👍

[@vpnrouter]

This is a great video. I have watched most of your videos so I do know how busy you are and I wish you good luck getting the family all settled in to the new home. It will just take time! Please could it be possible to make another video just like this but for those new to phone logic board repair. Aimed at fault diagnosis and finding shorts on IPhone 7 & 7 Plus for beginners. You are by far the most understandable KZbinr of explaining what they are doing but I still need more explanation and maybe a guide or steps to follow for trouble shooting and short finding. I think there are already good videos explaining basics like Ohms law but for phone repair it seems to be all just screen changing etc and then a huge jump to advanced stuff with jumpers. You are the man. Please do a more in depth version of this video aimed at beginners as if I am ever to get my head around this I think you are my best chance!

[@coryneeley3825]

[@MrPnew1]

Great to see you back Jason. I thought that the resolution on those thermal cameras was not particularly good?

[@ststele]

Thanks. I thought so too until I seen some of the videos that Union Repair posted and then Rossmann's revisit. Some of them are looking very useful for iPhone PCBs.

[@djanssen3206]

No, not boring at all! Very interesting. Thank You! I like to watch other technicians work :)

[@ststele]

Thank u. Will be posting on KZbin again really soon. This move has been difficult.

[@chrismac4441]

I'm very new to this and finding it hard to get some good info on the basics. Really helpful video here about shorts in general, but I'm trying to fix a tablet right now, and trying to determine if the board has a short. When I hook up the DC supply, I'm getting 0.6A going through the circuit. Is this normal? Sorry for bothering you with a question already. New subscriber here

[@mobiletech1549]

u r da iphone hardware king sir......

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

welcome back! waiting for the first Hurricane video! lol

[@christophersantiago9270]

Glad to see your back! I see you’re not using zxw; what software are you using? Zxw is great but it doesn’t show vias for some devices.

[@ststele]

In this video I am using Easy Draw from unionrepair.com but I also use FlexBX from pldaniels.com/flexbv/

[@zx8401ztv]

Smashing job, evil cap expelled lol. Your new work room looks very similar to the old one, It's good to keep it close as you have got used to where everything is. Perhaps the room is lighter too.

[@ststele]

Thank u! It's much much brighter here. Aside from being a newer structure than before, I get a lot of sunlight coming in. The sunlight mixed with fake light can be a challenge for recording tho.

[@chinaphonefixteam6300]

So skilled, so great

[@alialesawi9625]

I love u.. Thank you very well and I hope 2 learn more about this.

[@Lorien311]

Freezespray is always so easy to find a short, but yours wasn't really freezing. And i also use airduster to do it, because its a hell of a lot cheaper to get here. your board should look like there is snow everywhere.

[@benwrong6855]

Hey Jason, glad to see you back! I'm about to buy a microscope (been using a cheap usb one), and was wondering what level of magnification you use for all the really fine work?

[@ststele]

This one is 7-45x. I couldn't imagine needing more than 45x for anything phone related. 45x seems to be plenty for even long screw damage repair.

[@benwrong6855]

Thanks man!

[@gitmac53]

Glad to see you back!!! I have the same aoyue lol, what's the tip you use for it? Is it the t1130? And do you ever use another one?

[@ststele]

I'm not sure what the tip # is but the inner diameter is 6mm. I've never used another tip on this station.

[@gitmac53]

STS Telecom awesome thanks!!!

[@donny7838]

where do you get your schematics that you are clicking through? What program holds all those schematics?

[@bobbobby5724]

Fantastic video

[@hi-friaudioman]

You could do it how Louis does it and pour alcohol on it and see if it bubbles.

[@mr.md.aklasrahmanbappy6720]

Good job bro .

[@stefan7231]

It's very nice to see you back :) Great work and please, get a propper freeze spray, it's cheap :D ;) Keep up the good work

[@ststele]

Thanks. Most duster can serve as decent freeze spray other than the taste. The stuff in this video is horribly junk tho. :D

[@stefan7231]

STS Telecom I use Liqui Moly -40°C freeze spray and it works realy great and last long so you have time to connect the power and see what's heating up befpre the spray evaporates :D

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

What’s the little thing that you were on the see the caps and what ones are connected to each other

[@rcaddictions2009]

Where do you get your schematic?

[@aafaq28]

Good job 👍

[@Alvin_41_]

In your opinion, what would be a good iPhone that usually have the least amount of repairs? When I upgrade cellphone, I usually buy a used one. Thanks for your channel, I have learned a lot about cellphones from you

[@cormacpyper]

Yes new florida stream :) welcome back :) Very happy to see u still using the trusty Aoyue(Tenma) !

[@ststele]

Cormac Pyper this thing will never die! It's been making a bit more vibration than before though. When it's cooling down, it distorts the microscope some.

[@cormacpyper]

haha ya they are very noisy on th cool down Paul mentioned that's one of the biggest differences he noticed was how quiet the quick is compared to this, those presets r tempting to me though :D im gonna buy one at some point :D

[@RickyYakuza]

@@ststele hey i have a iPhone 7 plus that i wanna send to u could u give me a contact number please

[@118Wilson]

Great video as usual Jason. My zxw tools program is different from yours. Also mines throws up a Trojan virus warning. Can you please let me know where you got your clean download. Thanks for all your videos. Helped me 1000x over

[@ststele]

Thank you for commenting. In this video I'm using EasyDraw from unionrepair.com It also produces a virus warning and is tricky to download. I believe it has to do with the way they have their licensing methods.

[@aaeerr1234]

22:02 is there any thermal paste inside that part? My iPhone 7 Plus is going very hot while playing games. It wasn’t like this in the past. I’m planning to apply thermal paste but I’m not sure.

[@nickw2725]

Do you know where I can get boardview files like .brd files for all iPhone models? I'm new to the repair industry so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Thks for the information. I’ll take my I phone 7 to the Apple Store I’m my area.

[@pomsonlee4532]

Cool bro .same case

[@1Patient]

I don't have any Apple products either thank God. But I know somebody with an iPhone 7 with the same problem I'm assuming because they can't get their phone to turn on charge changed the battery still not working still won't turn on All the data on the phone gone. I am so happy I do not have anything Apple related.

Welcome!

[@javelinzamot9907]

He should use 3 1/8 thermal paper from office depot and place a piece of thermal paper on the board and a thin foam sheets on top of thethermal paper, about 1/8 thick and use the length need.then place piece of glass on top to add pressure ,1/4 inch thickness,cut to 4 by 6 inches. Then add the power start at 20 seconds and work your way up tell you see a image of the radiate heat from the short .

[@1Patient]

That sounds like an interesting 🤔 technique that sounds fool proof. Anyone can fix an iPhone these days 😃

[@Vimalraj-blemaritechavenue]

Hi. Use the super cold spray. Much better and no nasty smell or gases. Also some old petrol trick (the one for lighters) will do the job. If you make an research of a good termocamera please share. By the way we'll organise workshop.

My 7+ is dead. Can I send you the logic board to see if you can recover my videos and pics that were not backed up to the cloud?

You should take one image camera direct on your power supply. How much you give power at all capastrors for check short. then we can learn much faster. thanks a lot you are great. Saqib from Oslo Norway

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

Well mine has solder balls that squeezed out and then shorted together VDD_Main and Ground because they were touching so that meant it couldn’t turn on and this was near Tristar so luckily that didn’t break.

[@ststele]

I hope it worked out!
