iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone 6 Plus tristar donor board pulled pad.

I am new to microsoldering, I was wicking the board to clean it off, and I ended up pulling two pads at the bottom left of the board. Had the microsoldering at 380 is this to hot to wick the board? By the way this is a donor board.

the two on the first column were pulled. Can I still put the tristar chip on or is it dead.

iPhone 6 Plus: Phone restarts every 2-3 minutes

Sun, 17 Nov 2019 10:58:32 -0700

I have this iphone 6 plus that was dead and I tried to restore it in recovery mode but got 4013 error a few times. Desoldered the nand and replaced it with another nand ( all the data like SN, wifi mac, bt mac,etc writen on the replacement nand from the old nand). After I soldered the “new” nand in place I managed to restore it without error, but now the phone keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes. The phone has wifi,gsm service, everything works fine in those 2-3 minutes.

What do you think might be the problem?

iPhone 6 Plus: Touch screen doesn't work!

Wed, 13 Nov 2019 05:23:57 -0700

I purchased a replacement screen for my iPhone 6 Plus from fixit and immediately after replacing the screen the screen i realized the screen kind of flashes at the top of the screen and you have to press the screen in just the right place in order to get the touch screen to work. I already disconnected and connected the connectors and they are connected just fine. I hope i just got a faulty screen and nothing is wrong with the phone. i am worried though, because i had gotten a replacement screen from a local repair shop and the touch screen only worked for about a week and then the screen got very glitchy touch screen wise. i hope it isn't anything to do with my phone, as it is out of warranty, and i don't have lots of money to get a new phone.

i looked for any "banana'd" connectors, and the touch screen connector was slightly... well... banana'd. i pushed on it gently to straighten it out again and tried reconnecting the connectors to the logic board. No luck. touch screen still doesn't respond and top of the screen flashes.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!! I called Ifixit and they are sending a new screen. it that fixes the problem i will let you guys know.

iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone not charging after new charge port, VCC_main cap missing

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 17:23:48 -0700

Would the capacitor c5202_rf (its missing for some reason) be the reason why the device will not take on power? Or should i replace tristar? Battery is fine and charging port. No short on VCC_main.

iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone no image error

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 15:57:13 -0700

Hello,

Greeting's to everyone. I am struggling with Iphone 6 plus. The phone turns on , is recognized by itunes and the backlight is working also..

But there is no image at all on the LCD.. Phone is not water-damaged - the indicator's look white and clean.

Also under microscope did not found any damage to board.

Could someone give me some hint's what to do next ?

Chestnut (U1501) ?

Update.

I have measured up the lines which should be responsible for image..

PP_VCC_MAIN - 3,6 V ( measured on C1554)

P6V0_LCM_BOOST - 6V (measured on C1502)

PN5V7_SAGE_AVDDN - 5,7 V (measured on C1504)

P5V7_SAGE_AVDDH- 5.7 V (measured on C1577)

PP5V7_LCM_AVDDH - 5,7 V (measured on C1569)

PP5V1_GRAPE_VDD - 5,1 V (measured on C1541)

What i should test next ?

Hello,

So i did a new measurements today again with fresh head.

The result is the same except :

PN5V7_SAGE_AVDDN - minus 0,37 (measured on C1504)

So i have a short on that line. So the options are for me :

1)C1504 ; FL2061; C2044 or can it be the chestnut himself?

Thank you for your attention.

Hello to everyone,

Happily i was enable to find out the shorted caps (it was C2049) removed it from the board and voila image on lcd !

Big thanks to Minho for helping.

iPhone 6 Plus: Help to identify component and where to source?

Sat, 05 Oct 2019 06:56:31 -0700

Hey guys, I have an iPhone 6 Plus that won't power on.

I inspected the logic board and see that this component seems crushed, like its snapped in half:

Does anyone know where to get a replacement for this component? Would this component being damaged cause no power condition? Thanks for any help.

iPhone 6 Plus: Startup anomaly after iPhone battery replacement

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 17:06:52 -0700

Just did a battery replacement on my iPhone 6 Plus and the phone won’t start up when I press the power button. Got it to start up eventually only by connecting the phone to a power source (PC/AC Adapter) and pressing the power button for 15-20 seconds (subsequent restarts were normal, the anomaly is present only in the first start up after installing the new battery). Is this normal?

iPhone 6 Plus: iPhone 6 Plus Battery Replacement - "Battery Health" issue.

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 16:54:24 -0700

I’m on the latest iOS… so I am starting a new question.

I just replaced the battery using iFixit battery kit (which was awesome!).

Now, the battery health doesn’t seem to function correctly. It won’t give status of the battery in %.

Before I changed the battery, the origional Apple battery showed 84% and I had a couple of crashes with warnings due to the battery.

Now, I have read that even if one was to take advantage to Apple’s Battery Replacement Program, this issue would still happen on the Apple batteries.

There must be some ‘reset’ function in the OS to get the proper reading on the battery…

What is it?

iPhone 6 Plus: WIFI issues after screen replacement

Tue, 27 Aug 2019 20:28:06 -0700

I dropped my phone a few weeks ago and it shattered the screen, lost functionality of the home button but it still operated fine up until the screen was replaced. I did it myself to save on costs. Removal went pretty smooth, i was able to get the old screen out and the replacement came with the parts already installed so i didn’t have to bother with swapping over the existing pieces. I did lose the ability to use the touch id but i can live with that. I decided to re install the os and start fresh after the repair work. Once i got to the part where i needed to connect it to my WIFI i noticed it could not locate the signal from my room.. But if i stood near the router it worked flawlessly.

I had no issues with the wifi antenna before i replaced the screen but now it seems as if the antenna has become unplugged or has been damaged.

iPhone 6 Plus: Screen won't work after replacement

Fri, 23 Aug 2019 18:17:31 -0700

I replaced my screen on my iPhone 6 plus a while back, and I tried to replace a broken camera on it today. I realized before trying to remove the camera that I had bought the wrong part, but when I reconnected the screen it lit up, but stayed black. I did in fact forget to disconnect the battery when I replaced the screen. I tested it using the old screen, which worked at first, but stopped working after testing it a second time. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

I was replacing a broken screen on my iPhone 6 Plus and I ripped the connector out from the flex cable that is built into the metal plate that come accross the screen. My question is if I replace the metal plate with built in flex cable, will my Touch ID work? The home button seems fine.

iPhone 6 Plus: Touch ID no longer working after screen replacement

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 17:09:40 -0700

I repair a lot of iPhones and am only ever having troubles with the 6 plus’s

generally what happens is i’ll do a screen replacement and when it comes to the home button it unclips from the flex cable with ease.. i’m not rough at all it.. fast forward and im now plugging the screen back on and bam it says touch ID is no longer working (regular home button return to home feature is fine.)

i then power the phone down and attempt to unplug the flex to then reseat it as perhaps it’s not seated correctly? i then find that the home button and the flex seem to be binded together and stuck very tight, its near impossible to then separate the two and i end up tearing either the home button or the shields flex cable trying to disconnect the two.

i’m just after some insight on firstly has anyone got any ideas on why my touch ID will not be working in the first place after a seemingly normal home button transfer has been carried out with no issues at all..

before i obviously tear the flex nothing has seemingly gone wrong, im very gentle and the flex and home button seemingly unclip so easily and i doubt ive damaged it at all. When reseating the home button its not as if im hammering the home buttons flex cable into the backplates flex cable.. im lightly pressing them together until you feel that 'click’ the exact same as the i6/6s/6sp etc..

i’m so lost on why sometimes the touch ID will be working after a screen replacement on a 6 plus and i do the exact same prodecure for the next 6 plus and its touch ID is now broken :(?

lastly - have you got any tips for separating the lcd shield back plates flex cable and the home buttons flex cable if they are now literally binded together without breaking one of them lol.

thank you
