@JonnyFix 5 жыл бұрын

I can't test this theory but if you preheat the boards with air or have some air over the larger area when initially on hot plate it might help prevent warping. With that end of the board being small I think it will be absorbing heat faster and expanding before the larger part hence the bend. That or maybe a cover to help more uniform distribution of heat over the top side?

Nice work. Start separating the sandwich on another spot with more thermal mass. The hole next to SIMtray for example. You will end up with a top board that isn't bent that much an it will pull itself down when soldering back together.😉

There are some under the shield for acorn. I wind up floating the PCB halves to remove that shield anyway. Perhaps I could clamp it first? I did peak at it with the thermal cam before taking it apart but could not tell where the hot spot was. The odds are very low that it would be anywhere other than between the 2 halves.

@nasonh4324 5 жыл бұрын

From what I understand if the phone is in for just data recovery the repair shops don't care if something non- essential for data recovery is broken because the phone wont be used any longer. If the board is in for repair and will be used by the customer then they will take a look and see if what is broken with the shorted cap is something the customer really needs and fix it if it is essential. Sometimes fixing caps right next to the main cpu are problematic since the cpu is heat sensitive and you can kill the board pretty easly.

A perfect dead short would be 0 ohms. Vdd main should be in the thousands of ohms for a normal reading. At 0.7 ohms, too much power flows. This short was even lower since some of that 0.7 ohm resistance was coming from my probes. Hope this helps! Sorry for the late response. 🙂
