This iPhone X came in for No Touch. If you see the 2nd pic, you'll see how bad the housing was.
I knew from the pic my b2b customer sent me, it wasn't gonna be good.
Sure enough, a million pads were ripped.
After checking each pad that was ripped, none were touch related. But still no touch.
I checked on the top side of the board & found a coil and 2 caps that connect to Acorn (touch driver) that were crushed. Replaced them & got touch working in the jig with a known good bottom board.
But sadly, the phone wouldn't unlock. It would hang on the last digit of the pin code.
Many of the pads that were ripped, were NFC, so I fixed them using solder lugs, but still same symptoms.
So i decided to chance it & do an update.
After the update, it finally went to the "Swipe to recover" screen. This screen is basically what updates the phone's NFC data, which after allows access to the customer's data.
Well, at least that's how I see it based on my experience.
After that, I got in & got the data! 🙌
What a fun one.
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! ...

Let me know what you learned in the comments below!
This was a Samsung Note 10 Plus was sent to me from the sunny state of Florida. The phone died after spending about 1hr in the pool and the customer NEEDED their DATA.
In this case, we had a "VDD MAIN" short, which was a cap near WiFi, then had a 92mA short, which ended up being the ICs above the battery FPC.
After that, I still had a 20mA short, but the phone booted! But wouldn't charge. Luckily, this donor housing I have, had an almost full battery, at 70% and the phone was detecting the USB Flash Drive via the USB C hub.
So I decided to risk it & try to back it up while it was running on battery only.
After about 5 hours, the phone completed the backup with 18% battery remaining & we were good to go!
If you need your data recovered, send me a PM! B2B Pricing is available to all repair shops! 🙏
