Troubleshoot there is no service on iPhone 6



Customers sent us an iPhone 6 to repair; the faulty is that there is no service on iPhone 6. Its been repaired, but its not fixed.
After we received the iPhone 6, we started checking the iPhone. We cant find the operator in manual condition. As shown in picture 8-3-1.

  Disassemble the iPhone 6 by phone opening tool, take out the motherboard, we can found that the colleague has been repaired RF parts, now we need to fix it step by step.

Lets start with the easiest. Soldering jump wire on U1、V1 pin, still no service. Because the colleague repaired too many chips, as long as the chip on the RFFE bus has problems, it will affect this. Remove all chips except 2G power amplifier on RFFE bus, the iPhone still no service. Then we replace the antenna switch and RF IC, the problem still the same. It seems that colleagues have amplified the problem.

Now we use multimeter to measure the power supply on RF IC U_WTR_RF, we found that the resistance at both ends of the R38808_RF resistor on VDD_XO_2V power supply is incorrect, one side it 438, the other side is 564. U_WTR_RF and R38808_RF in the circuit diagram position as shown in 8-3-2 and 8-3-3.




When we use multimeter Lead Probe to press it, its back to normal, so we can judge that the resistance is virtual welding. Now we find the problem, so we solder it with soldering station. After finish it, we assemble the iPhone and test it, the signal was back.
Finally, we put the removed RF IC back in iPhone motherboard. The repairs end here!
