iPhone 6 Error 9 CPU Repair Without BGA Reball

Introduction
Have you ever come across with iPhone 6 error 9 issue? It is well known that once iPhone 6 error 9 appears while performing firmware update or system restores via iTunes, normal function becomes disrupted. And if this occurs frequently, that will be difficult to deal with. Several reasons are responsible towards the problem, and primary suspicion relates to the NAND Flash error as our previous blog has illustrated. This time we come up with a totally different solution regarding to iPhone 6 error 9 caused by insufficient soldering within CPU BGA.

Recommended Tools:
Maintenance Platform

Electron Microscope

Soldering Iron

Hot Air Gun

Stainless Steel BGA Scraper

PCB Holder

Anti-static Wrist Strap

Screw Drivers

LCD Opening Sucker

Tweezers (ESD – 11)

0.02mm Copper Wire

Metal Engraving Craft Knife  


Steps

1. Phone Disassembling
The phone is stuck in Recovery Mode when trying to start up. Connect it with computer and start system restore via iTunes.

Error 9 appears. Disassemble the phone and take out the logic board. Remove a part of the shield plate with tweezers.

2. Malfunction Diagnosing
Test grounding resistance value of resistor R0317 and R0316 with diode mode-Abnormal value (480 under normal circumstances). R0317 and R0316 are connected with CPU pin AP31-SDA  and pin AR31-SCL directly.

3. Malfunction Repairing
Take down the shield plate of CPU with hot air gun. Then put the logic board on the corresponding position of the CNC mold and fix it tightly. Load iPhone 6 corresponding logic board chip grinding program and start grinding.

Once finished, take out the logic board and use a engraving craft knife to scrape carefully until the CPU sub layer circuit comes out. After that, clean with PCB cleaner.

Apply some UV curable solder mask to the exposed area, apart from the two bonding pads (SDA,SCL). Once it has been done, put the logic board under the UV dryer lamp for 10 minutes and then take out the logic board.

Solder tins on the two bonding pads with soldering iron. Then solder the 0.02mm copper wire to the two bonding pads respectively. The two soldered wires connect R0317-corresponding pad SDA and R0317-corresponding pad SCL respectively.

Test grounding resistance value of R0317, R0316 with diode mode again-Normal value this time.
4. Phone Testing
Assemble the phone and restore via iTunes. Then activate the phone and test, malfunction fixed.

Once test finished, take out the logic board. Then apply some UV curable solder mask to the soldered place again. Put the logic board under the UV dryer lamp for 10 minutes.

Assemble the phone and test again, all work normally.

Slove iPhone X Won't Turn On

Image
Customer delivered a iPhone X and described the fault is not to boot after the phone drop accidentally. It reports error 56 when restore the iPhone X. How to repair this fault? Because iPhone X is the two board connected through the middle column, it is easy to drop the point. It may be that the solder points from NFC chip to the CPU part have fell off. Take apart the iPhone X by iPhone Screwdriver Repair Tools , take the upper board off the main board, when separate the main board we see a row of points have fell off. Picture 19-3-1 Look at the location map on WUXINJI dongle , it is surrounded by a ground wire, in fact, there are 6 useful points dropped. The ground wire does not need to be filled, the 6 useful points are added by professional phone welding tools. These are the signal wires of the NFC chip, so the iPhone X would report error 56. Picture 19-3-2 Then the tin of the middle column is repaired by iPhone X BGA reballing stencil , and the AP part is welded bac...

Setup and install the zxw tool Dongle Wizard

Image
So, you recently purchased ZXW Tools from our vipprog online store have no clue how to set it up?  Well, here is a quick guide detailing the installation process. Step 1 Unbox the ZXW tools dongle and plug it into your Windows PC.  ZXW tools does not support Mac at this time, so you’ll need a Windows compatible box. Step 2 Download the ZXW Tools software [direct link].  The ZXW tools website is in Chinese, but lucky for you, we’ve made it easy for you to download the latest version of their software directly from our website.  The zip file contains all of the files necessary to run ZXW Tools (trace) and Blackfish (schematics).  There is no installation process.  You just need to copy the files over to a directory on your desktop. Step 3 After you’ve copied all of the files over to a folder on  your desktop, then just run the ZXW tools executable.as shown in the picture. When your first run the software, the program will ask yo...

IPhone 6P Front Camera and Distance Sensor Fault

Image
Received a iPhone 6 Plus, the customer said that the front camera can not be used, and the distance sensor has problem too. The two failures are concentrated on the front camera flex cable, which is likely to be caused by the damage of the wiring. First, we have to eliminate the possibility of the external parts fault, then consider the motherboard problem. Remove the screen assembly and replace it with a good one, we still can't turn on the front camera and use the distance sensor. Disassemble to measure the ground resistance of the front camera seat of J1111 by Fluke digital multimeter , it is found that several pins are infinitely large, and the related inductors are loose when touch with the pen. It seems that the small components are pseudo welded. 19-1- 1 Remove the motherboard and observe it under the Trinocular Stereo Microscope , we can see that the touch was repaired before. 19-1-2 The back of the sub touch chip U2402 is the front camera seat J1111, an...
