Well I certainly learned an important lesson. I tried to be delicate with the heat down there, when taking off the mosfet to separate vdd_Main and V_Batt, but it was likely pulling that chip... twice, that created the heat through the board to bridge that super sensitive coil array. Thanks for the lesson, and thanks for your work on that board. I will send an update, once I get that one rebuilt.

Жыл бұрын

it's not your fault chase, if you would over heat the board and made the blob of solder connecting ground with VDD, no power would come to the chip. since we saw the chip had a short, that was the original fault

Great explanation and demo of how to locate a hard problem. You can generally find the rough location of a short by passing a constant current and using the millivoltmeter range to locate the smallest voltage drop. It might not find the faulty component, but it gets you in the right area.

1:01:39 - “Reball it with 138.” I had to research that one. I’d not heard that phrase from anyone else (not even Louis Rossmann). For those who may have missed what you said, here’s what I learned just now: factory balls are typically 150° C, so 138°C solder paste is better than 183°C solder paste for replacing the chip because of the lower temperature requirement.

@JessaJones 5 ай бұрын

Factory solder is 217C

@paulf1071 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, I had to research this one myself too! Using 138°C paste is supposed to reduce the risk of damaging nearby components with excessive heat, or accidently reflowing neighbouring components that have the factory-standard 183° solder on them.

I would not have felt comfortable replacing a buck regulator's coil with a bridge: the higher voltage will appear in spikes where the inductor was supposed to have been slowing the increase of current. A resistor in that spot would be easier on the downstream chips.

Oh, how many times I have yelled to my iPad "No, a SHORT does not heat up!" when watching KZfaq troubleshooting videos. You just pointed out that many of the heat generating problems not real shorts, but more like bad leaks. Now, my experiences have mostly been on 2-layer boards, where I have been able to follow the current path on one or the other side, using a 4-wire ohm meter. Even better tracer has been one that has an audible, variable frequency indicating micro-ohms to milli-ohms resistances. But changing to the modern multilayer boards has required some changed instruments and tactics. I skip describing those, and just present one instrument that sometimes was a "god's end" -- two HP probes; a 546A Logic Pulser and a companion 547A Current Tracer. They used to work like a charm, with one caveat, any capacitors bypassed the pulses as well as shorts did. Now there is a new instrument/probe that works down to DC. It is called iProber. Here comes another story from my 2-layer boards past. Twice I have chased a problem that appeared as a real, heavy short between two parallel traces. Just a few inches long pair of traces, nothing else. When the components at both ends were removed, I could measure the micro-ohms from the two ends. The results were in about 60% to 40% ratio, so I started digging the location between the two traces. Well below the epoxy surface there was a copper sliver, obviously from the time the raw board was originally laminated. I just conclude that a thermal camera would never have found that -- although now I have, and occasionally use one myself.

Here is my technic: one hand on the banana connector of the psu. tap-tap-tap. both eyes on the board and looking the sorrundings of the components in the same time dripping alchohol on the board. If you see the alchohol is moving away from the componen, jackpot you got it. In case if something big. I live it connected to the psu till the boards gets warm then dripping alchohol again. I had an asus motherboard where one of the cpu mosfet was shorted. They can handle pretty high amps. After helfen hour on the psu i've put just a drop of alchohol and was watching how fast is evaporating comparing to the others if it evaporated quicker than the others, bingo.

@Priest Жыл бұрын

45:30 I was wondering, would slowly heating it up and slowly cooling it down cause it to not "want to release the pressure" (like you said at 43:50) ? Because,if what makes it want to "release the pressure" is how fast it got hot and cooled down, it might work. Or, if its just, if it gets too hot regardless of how quick it got there, then its about using minimal temperature.

Have you ever seen a short circuit that won't get hot and that it was actually a short between the board layers? I have a case of a laptop where I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that the layers are shorted. No visual indicators, though.

@LarixusSnydes 4 ай бұрын

That situation is indeed comparable to the fault inside that inductor coil array, but with the added difficulty that you can't remove it from the board to test it. A short between board layers might occur when a microfracture deforms traces inside the board, though I have never come across that situation without also seeing stress on the outside of the top- or bottom layers. Besides that, it would have to have to be a deformity that would penetrate an insulating layer. On a regular rigid board, It might possibly occur when an internal via is concerned, but I can certainly imagine this happening on a flexible pcb when it shears or even by being compressed by a blunt object. Does anyone have experience with this?

Love that creative thinking! However since main is short within the chip and all the coils inside are connected to main you’d have to cover all connections to main in the chip and there’s nothing left. If there was the eeprom chip inside like in the iPhone 8 that is not on main then yes you could save the function of that portion of the chip in this way

Do you use a current limit function on your power supply when injecting a vdd or VCC voltage? A sudden clearing of a short could create quite an inductive kick. In my opinion a humble opinion although backed with 40-plus years of electronics repair and troubleshooting injecting voltage should be a last-ditch method

@JessaJones Жыл бұрын

After fixing over 40,000 iPhone logic boards using this method, it’s hard to agree. The main power rail does not go to any “important” chips. And yes, of course there is a current limit on dc power supply.

@marksutherland774 6 ай бұрын

I'd disagree, hook up a power supply with low voltage will do 2 things, determine there is a short, locate the short easily (in most but not circumstances). You have have had unlimited time to diagnose faults because what you say makes no sense. It's very very unlikely injecting low voltage will clear a short, as you're 40 years + experience will have taught you.

First: The two extremes of hard troubleshooting problems that make economically unrepairable devices: 1 - A thick-wire short, especially with ultra-dense boards and 2 - An open ground (Vss) that is very easy to locate, but destroys EVERYTHING !!! (I've seen that once in an audio power amplifier; exploded electrolytics, massive destruction of semiconductors) You do not want either of these two. Second: Also, trying to repair such problems is nearly impossible without the service manual. And knowing Apple for their fierce reputation for making service impossible on their gizmos, it is probably impossible to get those documentations for a normal human being.
