iPhone 13 No Power Easy Solution
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 6 Steps
Step 1
- When you boot up, watch the current spike up to 1.9 AMPs and then it just chills there.
- That means you've got a short circuit on your hands.
Step 2
- Use diode mode, placing the red probe on the ground, to track down that sneaky shorted line.
- Remember, just because you spot a capacitor that seems to be the culprit for the shorted line, it doesn't guarantee it's the real deal. Keep an open mind!
- If you find a short in one spot, it’s a sign that the short's hanging out everywhere on that line.
Step 3
- This line is pretty short and looks a lot like our 3PV0 Nand Power line that supplies power to the Nand chip in every phone.
- It's a usual suspect when it comes to shorts.
- Next up, figure out which components along this line are causing the short.
Step 4
- Hook up your DC power—watch the connector direction, especially if you're working with the 13 and its squid-like plug.
- Fire up the device and keep an eye out (or a finger!) for any suspicious heat around the NAND chip.
- Found a cap that's causing all the drama? That's your short circuit culprit.
Step 5
- Start by scraping off that pesky black coating from the shorted cap.
- Give it a little check – it should definitely be showing low resistance to ground.
- The best way to safely remove this cap is with the iPad Rehab Short Killer – just pop that cap off like a champ!
- Finally, check the line to confirm that the short is gone for good.
