Glad you enjoyed it!

From the feel of the adhesive I think I was the first to open it. Which means this would have been a $3500-$4000 charge port or screen….

There’s a dot on the chip that marks the A1 position. If I forget, then I can look up A1 on the boardview, or just glance at a matching board. Thanks for watching!

Only takes a few suckers I guess

Both. We always recover data to a usb drive so this can’t happen again. Then, if it’s reasonable to send it back working we will do that as well-for anyone who isn’t just trading the phone in

she probably tested on other pcb before proceeding, each his own method of working

Apple Icloud has limit for free account in EU of 5 GB. So I can't backup everything what I want. But you are right, if data is important, then you need at least 3 different location of storage for backup (e.g. bank, other location than in own room.)

Why? Some people do not think that device will die while others does not care or posponing (lazyness) untill it hits them. Loooong time ago that I wanted to backup data from HDD for the first time ever I wanted to do it next day because I was still doing stuff that day on the PC. So evening came, I turn on the PC and bam. Windows desktop shows up, mouse I could move but PC became non responsive. Turned PC of and back on... HDD was not detected anymore. That day I lost 1,5 years of photos and videos but I think I still have that HDD in my closet. Just to fix up my health I will start practicing micro soldering and fault detection and later try to fix broken HDD's 😁. So yeah, BACKUP is necesety unless you do not care about the data on your device 😁 Have amazing day everyone 😎👍

@@ACOnetwork windows is a different story, no automatic data backup is set up. But on the phone, at least Android, it is set automatically when you set up a device for the first time. Then as soon as the phone is connected to any Wifi, backup is again done automatically.

Not everyone is savvy enough to do so, no matter how tech companies try to dumb it down for the average user.

@@blakegriplingph I think that with time we just became more "stupid",and rely on the companies to deal with our problems. Once, if any device has gone bad, anyone has basic tools at home to fix it. Now if anything is broken, we immediately take it to the repair shop or just replace it, we do not even think about opening it by ourselves. I have a set of screwdrivers at home, a heat gun, soldering station, a microscope to do all the small things by myself. BGA chips like here are out of my league, but small chips, caps, resistors I can do it. Once it was a norm, now it looks strange to have it at home.

They had Jon send them the phone. Once there they quoted him $4000 They never opened the phone.

@@JessaJones sounds like a scam company, better to support the companies who do real repairs instead.

Oh my that’s a heckuva a lot more difficult than just replacing the chip. Don’t forget timing of power rails and all the feedback, and CPU data communication of the pmic.

@@JessaJones yeah I hear you but all of that could be programmed into software what you're saying, yes making it up from scratch is a pain but after it's all done it can be replicated and easily manufactured if you needed more than one or a few, and it can be adapted for any other chips. I thought it was an issue getting hold of these chips from China? That's why I say it. And with the new manufacturing of ICs in America would that be easier or harder get hold of ics? I was thinking as well could you not use AI, To simulate a phone? you just plug the phone in and AI will do all the checking analysis, plus t can find a fault in the chip and look on its database and bypass that fault. You just need a cradle with pins that match onto the chips pins and just press analysis, plus it can isolate a chip and use its own database chip. One benefit of having a simulated chip in software if you have got a data chip that is corrupted it doesn't mean you would necessarily lose all your data, because you can mix the chip from the device with the software chip simulation and recover it's data.
