iPhone 5s Data Recovery

This was a case of a fully submerged iPhone 5s in the toilet. Toilet phones are something we deal with often. The customer had the iphone in rice for a few days which did not help remove water or corrosion. Data recovery on this device was important because of the value of the photos. Our soldering technician cleans the board with dedicated equipment and chemicals to remove any liquid or corrosion. Once clean the board components are inspected for damage. In this case after the cleaning the board did come on, but the image was blurry and the touch on the phone did not work. The digitizer FPC connector was replaced along with components on the back of the board that were also related to touch. Once repaired our technician was able to sync the phone to itunes and make a complete backup of the phone so that it could be loaded on to the customers new iphone.

iPhone 6 Backlight Filter Repair

A shorted iPhone 6 backlight is usually caused by poor installation of the new display. Either the battery was not disconnected when the LCD FPC was making contact to the board or the solder joints for the backlight of the display are exposed and can be shorted when making contact with metal.

This filter is FL2024 and you can usually tell if it is shorted by a brown discoloration on the chip. Or you can use a multimeter to test for continuity.

This is a repair we do often and usually completed the same day.
