A few months ago my housemate changed my phone's screen and he touched something he shouldn't, leading to a processor error. Apparently, my motherboard is having a hard time and the phone doesn't turn on.

My question is, is there any way of recovering the data I have there, at least the pictures? I thought I had a backup, but, apparently, the last one I have is from mid-2020 😰

Thanks a lot for all your help! 😄

P.S @refectio , sorry for tagging you, but I've seen many recommendations from other people! Hope you don't mind :)

//Update

If you're going through the same situation, this is your sign! There's a way out 😊

I ended up sending my phone to @tojaert 's studio- the situation couldn't get any worst, so I've decided to give it a try. The same day he received my phone, my iCloud started to be updated. As you can imagine, I couldn't even believe my eyes... EVERYTHING WAS RECOVERED 🥳 @tojaert kept me updated all the time, including about the poor health of my phone. We've decided to repair it as well and, in about 2-3 weeks, I got it back.

Lessons learned:

• Don't try to save money and have a non-professional friend fix stuff on your phone

DO THE FCKING BACKUP- let's stop with rookie mistakes

• There's always hope (or let's say an excellent professional that can help you out)

I really regret not coming to this forum earlier, I've wasted 3 months in a repair shop that was useless. Thank you all for your comments!

And, of course, a very special shout-out to @tojaert ! You're a life saviour! 😊😊

P.S I don't know exactly what was the technical problem with the phone in the end, but I'm sure @tojaert can explain it to you if you're curious!

I replaced the battery on my iPhone 6s and the installation went great, no problems etc etc. When I turned it on it has worked fine, and when I plug the phone in to charge it indicates that it is charging, however the battery isn't actually holding any charge. I have tried charging it without the metal plate that covers the battery socket inside the phone on (as some people have reported this to short the connection) and still no luck.

Are there any other common culprits for the issue, or is it a bad battery? I've tried multiple Lightning cords etc and so it's certainly an issue with the battery/charging mechanism.

I told her to bring it back and i will take a look.

I checked the repair guide and nowhere did i touch the charging part.

Anyone seems this issue before?

Would the charging problem due to the phone drop that crack the screen?

thanks.

Without taking the time/energy to replace the charging port, is there a way to definitively tell if the problem is within the charging port verses the bad IC?

I've had 2 iPhone 6S recently with the exact same problem. When speaking to someone, the microphone sounds very crackly. When they use headphones the sound is clear.

I've done the basics such as replace the charging port. Clean the bottom speaker holes. I changed the camera up top in case it was the proximity sensor.

Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks

In an interesting turn of events. After trying a 2nd new charging port it solved the issue.

To clarify:

- Phone presents with microphone issue

- Replaced charging port still has exact same microphone issue

- Replaced the charging port again and it solved the issue.

My girlfriend iPhone 6S is not charging, and for what I have searched the problem is related with the Tristar IC (U4500).

I already bought the U4500 component and I have all the material necessary form the replacement.

For what I have searched about the problem that I mentioned, the only thing that I need to do is to replace this Tristar IC (U4500) (but if I’m wrong, I appreciate if anyone cloud clarify me, on other possible reasons for this problem).

With that said I have a few questions that I would like to know the answers before try anything with the iPhone.

1. What temperature should the soldier station be, to remove to Tristar IC, without cause unwanted damage to other components?
2. How much flux should I apply to avoid damaging other components?
3. In the removing process how long (seconds or minutes), should I inflict heat to remove the IC chip (an approximated time)?
4. When heating, my movements should be circular around the spot, or as steady as possible focusing on IC?

Thanks in advance for the help.
