One thing I've learned with logic board repair is that everything seems to be based around logic and common sense. I think you have done a fantastic job just demonstrating the basic fundamentals of using a multimeter and logic to find the fault and fix it. I like to look at it like a puzzle if that makes sense. Also at 37:55 I just recently thought of that same solution when I was having the same issue with my jumper wire not sitting flat. Solid repair video, very informative.
Phone is broken and I’ve replaced the parts… do you have a series for beginners to kind of work your way up to learn the soldering skills needed for this repair? I’ve got myself a new phone so this is just me hoping to learn for fun. Great video!

Hi Jesse just Done one but instead of find the trace I ran a wire from pin 13 on charging port to pin 3 on power flex. It fixes the issue without giving any problem. Just to keep in mind if you guys don't want to do all the trace findings.
Hi, mate. Thank you for this massively useful content I have a question. This was the only solution to this case? Because I have this same issue on my workshop.
Yes, why not run the Jumper to J4300(?) vs remove the cover over the other chip. Would seem (to me) a lot safer) than peeling away to expose a trace. Any downside to doing this? As an aside, I remember when my eyesight and muscles allowed me to do the kind of work you do. Nice!!!
I would say the effort to get the jumper wire to make it all the way to the power button connector is way more than scratching out the trace. Plus it would be a lot safer like this vs a super long jumper, in that the next time someone opens the phone, they may damage the wire & have to re-do the super long jumper again
I would like to ask you a question, on my dock flex connector pin 15 which should have the value 672, according to xzw, I read a value of 345, and the latter is the same value that I have along the tracing, and also on pin 5 of the power button. Where do you think the problem could be? Thank you.
Thanks Jesse. Amazing skills, I'm working on getting this good. Thanks again, you're sharing such valuable information. i will watch 10 ads, just to help your channel. I just subscribed.
Jesse, heard you mention that charge port can cause this problem. Mine charges wireless but does not with cord. If I replace the charge port will I get any error messages after I replace it?
Hello From Norway! Fan of your work. I had replaced the charging flex cable on my iphone se after replacement phone works fine for 2 months then i accidentially dropped the phone and had the same restart issue after every 3 minutes. i replaced the flex again but now phone doesnt restart but wont charge as well. when i plug the cable in phone does start-up but doesnt show charging. please guide what might be the issue?
I have a question, if we are getting the GR from other side of board like that resistor or on off connector, can't we just take a jumper from that only? Will it work correctly?
Hello bro It's my first time to watch this video I'm having this issue for days and i decided to watch videos on TH-cam in hope to get helped, mine is showing panic mic 1 , and i have noticed that the mic of the phone is not working, do i have to change charger port ?
Thanks for sharing. I fixed 3 phones with the same problem thanks to you. Now I do diode readings and pressing at the simreader. If the value change I know the board has a weak or broken trace..
Thank you, my SE2 has just given second life :) In my case reading diode mode was jumping from 0,3 to 0,6. Restarts every 3 min and sometimes Iphone wanted to cool down. Now works very well - once again BIG THANKS for your solution.
Do you happen to know what the reading is supposed to be? in diode mode mine is steady at 0.3. EDIT: Nvm mine also fluctuates but only if i put light pressure on the board with the probes, jumps between 0.3 and 0.6. So likely i have this issue. I'll be doing surgery later today. : )
Tell me please, what can be the problem, both contacts 13, 15 have almost the same resistance about 0.371? Will try tommorow remove capasitors from both side.
Its funny bcz I watched the whole video and I am not any tecnician or something, but I have the same problem, I believed that where bcz the battery but I changed it and saw the problem its still going on, and now I see why, honestly this video its interesting and very helpful, anyways thank u and sorry for my bad english

@@VCCBoardRepairs Its actually pin13 an pin 15 of J6400 fpc connector (mic1 scl and mic1 sda). You been working on pin13. In my case line on pin15 is also broken. I found out that it also goes to a power flex connector so I managed to solder those two broaken connections. Phone is working perfectly now.
My SE 2 have this exact problem and I know the microphone is missing since it the whole phone was run over by a car and the bottom of the phone is destroyed. However I do not have any panic log. Should I replace the whole lightning connector? I just wanna be able to backup the phone.
If the phone was ran over, most likely it has board issue as well. You can try replacing the charging port but you'd need to follow the steps in the video and use a multimeter to see if it's a board issue or not.
mine is saying the battery is not genuine and because of this its turning off every 3 minutes is it still the motherboard that's the issue or the battery needs to be replaced?
So this seems to be a common problem with the second generation iPhone SE. I‘d like to know whether the third generation iPhone SE suffers from the same issue, or if it has a different board layout that fixes this.
Personally, I haven't seen any SE 2022 (SE 3) at my shop yet. So who knows. But from my experience, Apple catches on to these defects pretty fast, where it's fixed by the next model. Only time will tell at this point
Is there anything that can override/ignore the error so it won't reboot? I just have a phone I need to complete a backup on, just need a temp fix. But no matter what I try, iCloud, direct transfer, PC backup, none can finish before it reboots.
I just found this video. PANIC FULL is the issue for my iPhone SE or 2020. Not backed up since 2020 Sept.Here's the issue. Mine won't stay charged long enough for me to back the data up.

Mine pops off every 45 seconds not 3 minutes and Apple people say it's the logic board and that this CANNOT be replaced.

@VCCBoardRepairs Hi, really grateful for your replay. In my case it was the battery, which was damaged due to an impact of the shattered screen and the battery has a little hole in it on one side.

@@VCCBoardRepairs Sure.Apple designs its products in a way that should make them unfixable,as their primary way to "fix" anything for the customer is to make them buy the latest model.

Bro you don't need do it that thing. Only use original Apple charger Flex that's it when you use that don't have problem with bootloop every 3 minutes. You don't answer my text I know who can sell to you original flex apple.
@@franz6835 Yes, if you have bad aftermarket parts, you can have this issue too. But for SE 2, high chance it's a board issue. In the video, i show you how to check if it's a board issue

God bless you souch, I just checked refox and saw it also has a connection there, I could just run the jumper from there 😅, such joy to my heart
Hello, great job! I have the same issues with my iPhone se 2, I have one question, Can the issue also be solved by replacing the motherboard entirely?
technically, yes that would solve it.
I was told by two Apple people and another repairman that you couldn't fix the SE 2 motherboard.
Depends on the issue. As you can see in my videos, they are repairable
Jesse, does charge port cause this problem also on a iPhone 13?
It depends

Tell me please, what can be the problem, both contacts 13, 15 have almost the same resistance about 0.371? Will try tommorow remove capasitors from both side.
Actually .371 is normal for both i2c lines. The key is to check if the readings change when you put pressure on the board

Y si se reinicia asi y ya cheque esas lineas y si da valores pero si dice eso del sensor mic1 ??
Good job. In my opinion I would have just run the jumper straight to either the resistor or the power button connector instead of scratching the trace
Yes that works too! Although if you're dealing with the same issue on the touch line, then there's no other option but to dig out the trace.
I can’t even watch with out my phone restarting

Is there a temp fix for this 😭
unfortunately, no.
nice video ! I feared my own had need to rebuild the trace like you did, but it's just a bad quality flex cable in aftermarket case who cause reboot
That's great! Everyone once in a while, it turns out to just be a bad port too.
but if I change my cable will it disappear? I had this type of issue I just upgraded my software and it has gone
