This has been something i've always struggled with. I tried it twice with no luck. I honestly didn't do any research in the past on techniques to follow.
But now I have an Samsung A50 that came in for Data Recovery. No luck solving it at the board level. So next option would be a CPU swap to do it successfully.
I bought a donor phone so I can transplant it to. But I also decided to first, try reballing the CPU, RAM and UFS. If I can do this successfully, then I should be able to do the CPU SWAP, as it's the same steps.
Thanks to some help from my friend, Joe Ham, I nailed it.
I will try a few more, then record a video of the process.
This case was just a practice run. Now it's time to go and try it on a real data job... so BRB!
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! ...
Anyone who is doing game console repairs, knows how many screws you need to remove to access the motherboard.
Especially the PS5, with the 5,000 screws or so.
If you don't already have an electric screwdriver, GET ONE ASAP.

Have you ran into this before? iPhone 12 Pro Max that was ran over by an excavator is now saying it's overheating
When it's truly not..
There's "simple" fix for this issue, which I show in my new video:
For most all other iPhone models, the false temp warning issue will be from the charging port flex. But on the 12PM, there are 2 resistors on the bottom board that can disconnect when the phone is smashed
And the only way to fix it would be board level.
