It's super common to see a 12 Pro Max come in overheating/no service due to BBPMU being cracked after a hard drop or glass breaker tool
I figured this was the case for this device. Although this came in for torn 5G flex after housing swap.
Housing swap usually means the phone had a hard drop. Hard drop means there's a chance for cracked BBPMU.
Before prompt to boot, was getting around 400mA
Busted out the Seek Thermal Cam and noticed the 5G torn flex was what was causing the heat.
Removed it and short was gone
Reassembled and phone booted to "No SIM".
I put my T-Mobile SIM in and it picked up service with 5G UC
And this is without the 5G flex soldered on!
Now, I just have to solder on the flex and it'll be ready to go! 🙌
So glad I didn't have to split the sandwich 🤣
If you have a Seek Thermal Cam, you're missing out if you don't have a VCC Seek Stand: https://www.vccboardrepairs.com/buy-seek-stand
Injured Gadgets just got these back in stock, so get them while you can!
It can take us a while to build these out sometimes, so they're sometimes out of stock for a while, but we're working towards always having inventory ready to build more as they sell out.
This stand makes using a thermal cam so easy. So much better than any other thermal solution on the market.
It allows you to get real close up (using my Macro Lens), and easily find where the short is coming from.
Plus it's hard free, so you can have your hands free to try to boot the device from DCPS, while having an image that is in focus & not moving around.
You can even record a video through the app, while you inject voltage into the short, so you can go back & see exactly which component was it that was heating up.
Save yourself lots of time by getting a Seek Cam, Stand & Macro Lens! ...
