This phone smoked during a battery replacement but it wasn't his fault 😇 

I think you're right - it's been sitting there burning away for quite some time.. that's why the battery had drainage issues, and what ultimately caused the battery swelling/failure. The battery probably just couldn't supply the high amperage the short wanted to draw, or the voltage it could supply just wasn't high enough to allow that current to flow. ... That's when the battery swap went awry.. the new battery was likely fully charged, and could supply a lot more amperage than the old one and well... We've seen what happened next.. working lithium batteries are scary for the amount of power they can dump in an instant..

I believe you are a very good phone education teacher. But you also make me laugh sometime because you're a good character within yourself. And I like watching your video.

It's always interesting watching your deductive process, and listening to your thoughts as you work. Keep up the great work!

It is true. Go out of your way to help someone and invariably it backfires spectacularly. Moral of the story, be a selfish ahole.

Videos like this make me wish you had pateron or something where we could throw you a few dollars to keep going. It's great to see what it takes to bring carnage like this back to life. Your videos have really made me redefine what is possible to repair. I've picked up a number of new tools and techniques after watching your videos. When I did electronics in college 15 years ago they never taught us any of this stuff. Just a little bit of through hole soldering. Their attiude was nobody does board level repairs any more.

As always great work. Thanks Jason

With all do respect, you can to use a Dremel to clear out all of the burnt residue before powering anything on. Just digging around is not good enough. You could short something else on top of existing short by doing so.

really good video, the most important thing to us repair guys is what are you thinking even if its wrong sometimes, i learn a lot and i don't even work on phones, greetings from Argentina.

Let's hope your good deed goes unpunished.

Soo happy to see you again...Everytime i learn a new stuff from you...this video reminds me of iphone 6 long screw damage...🧐

good job mate.

I seen this damage ones on a laptop. It was about 1mm hole after cleaning , but shot was gone. This was under a Mosfet that burn out together with a board under it. MY luck that laptops are much thicker , components and much bigger and the layers of the board are much thicker as well. I think that the burn continue to the lower board as well.

The power of Li-ion…… especially mixed with water…🤔

It can be done but I'd only recommend data obviously. Once had an iPhone 6 with a short like that under the BBPMU had to dig it out and got it to boot. Just takes a lot of work

In normal life, good deeds are great. In electronics, It's cover your ass at all costs.

Sir one doubt iphone 7 display touch working but home button strip dameage how to replace home button strip sir plz help me sir

You have to charge a flat rate inspection fee dude. Your going to bury yourself for no reason. You should have atleast a half hour diag charge. No sense working if you have to buy your work.

Great video. Of course someone with an Iphone 11 doesn't have money for the battery replacement.

When the magic smoke escaped - get a refill! ibm-1401.info/pictures/MagicSmoke.jpg

It goes to the man you are that you’ve shown the previous tech that he isn’t responsible, and you’re not charging for your forensic services. It shows the level of respect the tech industry has for you when you receive so many jobs off other technicians. Well done.

looking forward to the upcoming "spelunking" video =)

I know this Type of repair very well from gpu's. When the VRM goes short it leaves a big burn mark. People use dremmels to get everything Clean , because there is Just so much conducting burned PCB to remove. But it Always Looks worse then it actually is and is almost Always repairable.

👍👍👍👍🥰🥰

Sometimes you talk too much.I do the same mistake. If you want to comment on whatever you did etc do it at the end of the video

Excellent job as always

2:26 Jason _Poirot_ arrives at the scene of the crime and uses his _little grey schells (Belgian accent for cells)_ to find the murderer of the logic board. 😇 3:01 _or have done this a time or two or three or 10 or 8202_ 😁 9:01 Oh Jason, the microscope brightness is being swamped by your overwhelming brightness.🤩 and we understand so no apologies necessary. 😎 13:15 🤣🤣 15:19 _maybe there is data here, probably there's always data._ And I bet it has *not* been backed up either? 🤦‍♂ Any takers on that bet? 🤷‍♂..........I thought not. 16:05 The toothpick size comparison blows me away. I first started watching these videos and one forgets how damned small the components are after getting used to the microscope "size". I was given a dead MacBook to see if I could breathe life into it (hahahahahaha yeah right) and looking at the board and seeing the pieces IRL didn't make sense coz I knew they were *much* bigger than that. It is incredible that you can first find the faulty part and then remove and replace it back onto the pads. I imagine a great many who watch think that they too could do this because the component aren't that small and it looks easy, mmm yeah. 😤 *Thank You* Jason. I have never seen more than the top of a viar (no idea how to spell it) so seeing the whole one extracted from the board was extremely interesting. That board must have been on _slow cook_ for a long time for that to have come put so easily. Thank you again. I really appreciate the time you spend filming and editing these little gems. 🖖LLAP

The original damage took out the battery. The customer never turned on the phone with original battery. \ You confirmed the original battery was Dead. Replacing the battery supplied enough current to smoke the Also damaged circuits...

Mushroom cloud is much more fun than a simple repair. Same as watching NASCAR. No one wants to see a driver get injured but 500 miles of turning LEFT does get monotonous.

The problem with water damaged boards of any kind is the liquid will keep corroding even when cleaned with ultra sonic cleaners. Unless you have x-ray eyes the tech cannot know the extent of the damage especially under IC's and it's not viable to pull, clean and reball every IC The device becomes a ticking timebomb. It's not about "if" but "when".

That board is TOTALED you'll never fix a carbon burn on a multi-layer pcb & if you do it won't be reliable n I've been there n tried that many times with about 2% success rate, whenever I see a burn now I just call it a write-off/no fix n don't waste time on it I've got plenty more to repairs that will earn $$$, no it's not the tech's fault but you try explaining that to an ignorant customer who'll totally denies it had liquid damage it just doesn't end well been there n done that too.

Possibly a scam by the owner ? , very suspicious . Not a mega expensive phone but not cheap but the owner can not afford a new battery ? Fishy

wanna try figuring out what i did to a power board in a 4 in 1 welder for shits n giggles. paid 140 bucks new on amazon and the suppliers no longer selling it and doesnt reply back. it was operational and foolishly i attempted to install a pot to fine tune wire speed. it did work fine for 10 min but eventually the pot fried and it doesnt power on now. ide be greatly entertained hearing your opinions on what went wrong from doing this. i already have a dif one thats much more dependable so if it takes a few months o well. i get your cellphone repair ect but Yolo?

I really like that great skill..... but humors tops it ;). I hope you are doing good at the moment. Great respect, best regards diego

I phone 11 has a design flaw the volume button flex and wifi connectors are able to just come off the board because there is no plate holding them down. There located under the 2 camera flex cables. This is shocking they should be recalling the lot of them

heya oke a complicated repair it will be to get the data back can't wait for that 2st board to see what's wrong

Between 4:50 and 4:55 it looked like the PCB half’s were moving separately from each other.

its the same situation after replacing some iphones with broken and non functional at all screen,face id failed and customer says it's had worked before and they think it is my fault

When I turn the brightness on my iPhone up all the way I can pretty much see what you’re doing in the dark shots.

Me thinks the connector needs removing, should someone want to investigate further. 🕳🙀

And you're going to leave us without telling us what that little guitar riff at the end is from? :D

Next on playlist: Lee Dorsey - Working In The Coal Mine

You're getting better at digging holes. That's scarier :D:D:D:D:D

When will you learn how to troubleshoot? Connect your power supply to probes and connect across the component you suspect.

Would an ultrasonic cleaning bath help in a situation like this? It would be interesting to know.

Thank's Jayson for this carnage, so small but so major at the same time

Wtf where is the link to that video that u mentioned. Tease

Just continue digging until you reach the other side of the board.

really enjoyed the video, you're getting some tough tough stuff and the outcomes are nothing to be ashamed of. keep up the great work. 👍🏻

My first thought was ball sqeezage. Mmmm, I'll have to finish watching to find out though won't I :)

At 13:41, you can see small bubbles. RIP Apple.

Coca Cola fixes everything so they say!

lol throw it out jason theres to much going on right now.

Always helpful contents

this is very enjoyble content!

I guess the battery was/went low/flat with the water short, and when he plugged in a full battery the high current incinerated it. I've seen a lot of repairs grind the carbon out fully and bypass stuff, but I was thinking of a mini sandblaster. It should erode soft stuff and leave the copper, and It should make it easier to see when the carbon is gone and you're on solid PCB.

You may want to use a toothbrush

Ok I got a challenge cause I’ve seen a few of your videos can you resist the urge to not move up one eyebrow in your videos. I’m serious you do it in every single one of your videos it’s like your signature lol.

Jason, You could not of made it any worse, it was carbon city before you looked at it. The owner spilt something nasty in it, the owner ruined it. Is it time for another rat to break in to your house yet :-D

It was worth the try

Hi Jason. I really love watching your educative and exciting videos. I'm always on the lookout for more insight on mobile repair. Why don't you do one on understanding schematics and abbreviations used on them. I'd really appreciate. Patrick From Kenya.

Nice try Jason

Nice work❤️

Most liquid damage shorts the proxy flex first. Once it shorts out the phone will not boot. There maybe a chance the proxy flex was not connected when plugging in the new battery. Then once turned on the bigger short blew out with a full change battery.

Hello sir , man this south Florida heat is getting the best of us ! Miami ! Sir it’s always a pleasure and honor see you at your best keep up the great work and May God Bless you and your family 😎💪

'used battery'

great work

The hole looks like an open pit coal mine 😅 Thanks for the video, it was very interesting while being entertaining at the same time. I'm looking forward to the other open pit coal mine documentation 😁

I bet the owner of the phone was hoping this scenario would have happened: phone being on the edge of failure that collapses while in the hands of the repair guy who now has to address this problem while the phone's owner now magically has no money to spend at all

you too

Great work as always. something like this is a toast board. No doubt a board replacement.

I don't think I've ever seen an entire via extracted in one piece like that. I'd bet that short is very deep inside that board.

That's some SERIOUS carnage.. thanks for sharing this one!!

👍👍👍

Excellent job. Amazing video

Best vids on this app, thank you Jason!!

Ya just can't win them all! Great video! Thanks Jason. :)
