Я думаю сделать type c мод для iPhone 4s
Вот примерная схема(да однослойная что бы мог сделать на листке,будет двухслойная если не больше что бы поместилось в размеры 30 пин коннектора) я вот только думаю правильно ли все у меня сделано
Выводные пины будут припаиваться к контактам на нижней плате
Те кто хорошо разбираются проверьте схему и скажите правильно ли все
На ввод собираюсь использовать 12 пин type c

Lvl 3 (micro soldering, motherboard repair, diagnostics, etc) iPhone 16 Pro and Max restart without error logs

1 Upvotes

Hey!

We refurbishe a lot of phones with new housings and new components.

A hand full of them shows some strange behavior. Those phones restart out if nowhere. Some after days, some after weeks. Some once, some much more often. All panic logs show no real cause. We used to swap all components but no help. Display, proximity flex, charging flex, buttin flex, everything that can be swapped.

Someone we know mentioned it might be micro mainboard damage during housing swap or the pressure sensor.

AOP PANIC - SCMto:i2cm1,4 - main(5) OUTBOX3 not ready, the log shows repeated I2C aborts on SCM controller i2cscm1, channel 2 (33×) and channel 4 (7×), while i2cscm2 is clean – does anyone know which sensor/flex sits on AOP i2cm1 CH2/CH4 on the 16 Pro

Any help would be awesome!

i just bought iphone xr with broken glass for cheap and realized that it takes a lot more to replace only glass so i have to replace the whole lcd. I need some help/tips because im not sure what to do, i wanted to get refurbished screen but i dont have programmer and dont need one yet and i saw post that ios 18.1 doesnt need the programming so do i need to program it or not? also what screen should i get? i thought first about getting icloud locked iphone xr to have spare battery and use its lcd but maybe i should get refurbished one or off brand? i also thought about oled but if i ever want to sell that phone wouldnt it be worth less with different type of screen than original one? its my first time doing anything with iphone

Lvl 0 (DIYer) Where do I start with this repair? Can it be Fixd? help with samsung a25 5g and oneui 8.5

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I’m having an issue with my phone and wanted to see if there’s any way I can regain access to it.

​Phone model: Samsung A25 5G

Issue:

​Last week, I got into an accident and my phone slammed onto the road while it was in my front pocket. At the time, the display was completely dead, but the phone itself was still running—it could receive calls and message notifications, and I was even able to pick up calls.

​I brought it to a repair shop to get the screen replaced with a cheaper aftermarket TFT LCD. The display started working again, but a new issue came up. Everything looked fine right after a reboot, but after using it for around 20 minutes or locking the screen, the display wouldn't turn back on. The phone itself was still working, though—it still received calls/messages and the touch/swipe gestures still responded.

​I took the phone home as it was. Once home, I updated the software from One UI 7 to One UI 8, but that didn't change anything; the screen would still blank out after a short while. Unfortunately, the phone then auto-updated to One UI 8.5, and after that update, the screen became completely unusable. Even after restarting, touch inputs don't register at all anymore. I read online that One UI 8.5 has known compatibility issues with aftermarket LCDs.

​Right now, I just want to know if there's any I can unlock the phone without doing a factory reset. I already have a previous backup done via Samsung Smart Switch, but I haven't backed up my WhatsApp yet. All I really need is to back up WhatsApp and log out of my banking apps. After getting those two things done, if the phone completely gives up, I'm fine with letting it go.

​Sorry for the long story, but I'm really running out of options here haha

I found a old phone I haven't used in probably 6 years and it seemingly didn't charge/turn on, or the screen was dead, so I couldn't factory reset it. Wanted to remove the battery so I destroy the phone/get rid of the data on it.

I tried removing the battery with a flathead, but it started smelling sweet and I figured it was leaking something so I took it outside. It's been out there for around 4 hours and I see no signs of swelling and there's been no fire or smoke. Phone name is Coolpad Legacy if it helps. Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated.
