iPhone 8 Micro Soldering
DIY iPhone 8 Repair Gone Wrong? No Worries, We’ve Got It Covered!
We recently had an iPhone 8 come into the shop after a DIY repair attempt went a bit sideways. The customer had tried to replace the screen and battery themselves, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Don’t worry—we’re not here to judge; we’re here to repair!
Upon inspection, we noticed a MOSFET component was missing from the mainboard. To make matters trickier, the pad where the MOSFET attaches was also gone. This component is critical for charging your iPhone 8—without it, the phone simply won’t charge.
How We Fixed It
No challenge is too big for our team. Here’s how we tackled this repair:
Micro Soldering a New MOSFET
Using advanced micro soldering techniques, we carefully installed a brand-new MOSFET onto the mainboard.Rebuilding the Missing Pad
Since the original pad was missing, we ran a wire from a known point on the board to replace the missing connection. Tools like ZXW software and schematics helped us identify the correct wiring points.Testing and Reassembly
Once the micro soldering was complete, we tested the phone. The iPhone 8 powered on and charged perfectly—just like it should.Battery and Screen Replacement
To finish the job, we replaced the screen and installed a new battery, ensuring the phone was as good as new.
