I build tools that stop needing attention. No vendors. No babysitting. Just solved problems.

iPhone Data Recovery: Microsoldering Repair

Watch a technician from MotherboardRepair revive an iPhone that would not boot. Using a debug pad and board view, the technician locates a shorted capacitor causing the boot failure, removes it, and successfully enables data recovery. This demonstrates component-level repair techniques for a relatively common issue.
