iPhone Battery Swollen Repair

This is a typical issue faced with mobile devices that have lithium ion polymer batteries.

Every iPhone device has a Li-ion battery inside and eventually it will need to be replaced. Typically most batteries are only rated at about 600-700 charge cycles, after or even before this time the battery life will be much shorter then it used to be. It may also get a bit warm as the cells inside the battery wear out.

iPhone 6 Long Screw Damage

The top 2 screws (shown in orange and yellow) screw into the frame and/or stand-off screws. The 3 screws in the bottom triangle are sitting atop the motherboard millimeters above very tiny traces that can be breached if a longer screw is used, hence the name "long screw damage". This is often caused by in-experienced technicians and/or Do-It-Yourselfers who failed to accurately keep track of the screws.

When this type of damage is done, the only method to repair the phone is micro soldering with a microscope. It is very significant and often times can completely ruin the phone. The symptoms of this damage is often: blue screen on start up, red screen on boot, no backlight, no image on boot, phone still vibrates but no image on screen.

iPhone 6 Backlight Repairs

…The iPhone 6 that we had showed signs of life but no display. After replacing the screen with a new one, it still showed no signs of an image. When inspecting the screen in front of a flashlight, a faint image was visible. This confirmed that the phone was on and in fact worked, but had a blown back light. For this type of repair it would require micro soldering. After checking the filters on the motherboard we found them to have continuity and functioned within specifications. At this point in the back light circuit we still had a back light display BGA IC (ball grid array integrated circuit) as well as a coil and a diode. After checking the coil, which was also found to be within specifications, we then looked to the diode. Below is the picture of the diode under the cpu heatsink.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210 Battery Connector Repair

This week in micro soldering repairs we came across a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210 that had its battery replaced and the battery connector was loose. This was a result of a failed attempt of a DIY battery replacement. After getting the motherboard under the microscope we noticed all the pins were de-soldered from the board and needed micro soldering to re-attach them. Hot air would not be suitable in this situation due to the close proximity of plastic and other smd components.

We were able to capture the repair on video to show the whole process that was performed during this micro soldering repair service which took less than 15mins from start to finish.
