This was an amazing repair. I worked in the industry for 30 years specializing in In-Depth circuit board repairs, and had 3 courses in hight reliability soldering /circuit board repair. In my best days, I could not have made such a repair. I watch your videos, and I had to compliment you. You are not just a repair technician, you are an artist! Bravo!
Wow! What an impressive job working at such a small scale! Working with components that small, not to mention dealing with BGA chips, is way beyond anything I could do. Kudos for an excellent repair!
Thank you Adam, but I'm sure you could do it with the right tools as well. A good hot air rework station is key and some practice but than you can do it. Have a nice week end 73
Hi everyone!! Just doing the usual, having my coffee and going through Peters videos AGAIN!!!, thought I would say a MASSIVE thankyou to Peter for his great videos that help so many people that are learning radio repairs. If its your first time visiting his you tube channel be sure to subscribe as you will learn so much from the master!!!!
Very good Peter, they are one of the best iPhones made. I've just built a new one with only the logic board used again, I replaced all other parts case and other internals. I've rebuilt all the previous models and used them but this is the best, better than a lot of the later models. That is probably why Apple re-introduced them. Don't ever forget your password as they are virtually impossible to to crack without it. I have software that lets me in to previous models but not the 5S. Keep up the great work, this was a nice change from your normal videos. Cheers and 73s
Good job on the repair Peter. That did look like moister had got into that part of the phone. Just finished up a Iphone 6S here. No video on it. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Peter you are very brave to attempt that!! I will do screens on these but don't feel confident to repair them to component level. I know we were watching through the microscope, but did you have a magnifier?
Hello Alan, good to see you! Hope you are doing well. Yes it is all microscope view and all looks pretty large here on the video. But I can't even see the used 01005 smd components with bare eyes. With bare eyes I don't see the balls on the BGA and we have 36 balls..on it. Without a microscope no way! Thanks for stepping by 73
Great video! Did the chip come with solder or did you have to add solder balls to it? I saw one video that showed the chip will actually self-position itself once its heated (assuming right amount of flux/solder). I think it did that for you too? This is such intricate work!
I believe he tested position by nudging chip with tweezers towards end and since it kind of floated back to position he knew it was all soldered up good. I have never done any work like this but good to understand all those kind of tests and tricks.
Indeed! Another thing. Since you changed the time you are uploading videos now, here in Illinois (CST) where I live, when I wake up in the morning, I have your video to watch! Really makes my Saturday morning great being able to kick back with my coffee and oatmeal and watch your work. Thanks again! 73deN0BPS
So I replaced a chaeging ic, charging port, battery digitizer display, but it is not showing any image on the screen and it is showing no amps or voltage, for the iPhone 5s, any advise to what it could be?
