So I have an iPhone 14 Plus here for data. It was smashed really bad
It came in for No Power. I found there was a short on 2 caps next to NAND & i cleared that & got it to boot
But now, it's restarting every 3 min. I have narrowed it down to the wireless charging coil/back glass flex. See attached pic.
I have a known good iPhone 14 here & it's not restarting. I unplug the back glass & it restarts with 0x400000
I get the same 0x400000 on my 14 Plus. But mine restarts even with back glass plugged in.
I did a diode mode of the connector and found 2 pins are OL, when the known good isn't. I tried to reflow the sandwich to get the 2 pins reconnected, but only had luck getting 1 reading back.
I want to avoid splitting the sandwich, if i can, as it'd be my first 14/14P and I don't want to end up in a worse spot that I am now lol
Anyway.. i'll report back my final results soon!
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! ...
