This made me fix a phone in around 10 minutes by knowing about the testpoints. I could identify where I needed to look and found a filter that got knocked loose...Thanks! Keep it up!
Awesome! That's good to hear :) I have lots more to post soon - had to redesign a bunch of stuff to keep this all moving smoothly. It's grown faster than I expected.
Glad to see you back. I hope you, your family and friends there and afar had a great Thanksgiving.
Hey Jason, thank you so much for sharing this video!
Wow. Wish I had a tiny portion of your skills. I've started repairs for friends and family. Small stuff. Screen lcd .camera. home button ect. Guess for you the really simple stuff. But it's just replacement and not like you doing real repairs. Amazing stuff man. You are a inspiration keep it up.
Thanks bro,I'm glad u decided to continue with the repair,you shared a lot of information with us,I'm just a beginner. You earn every like , thanks again
It's great to see videos of man, you shower a ton of knowledge on us. Keep up the good work n thx for all your efforts
I would not have thought about previous repair attempts and hot air usage. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this repair guide, just solved a problem at work!
Amazing job. Helped me fixed my backlight that was damaged by a repair shop
Highly skilled and great to watch, nice clean work!!
just invested a shit ton of money on all this equipment. Thanks for all your help on making something of it :)
You're welcome! Good luck with your repairs. I think I spend just as much time playing and learning with this equipment as I do fixing things.
The best channel on youtube!
I've been seeing you around here since way before 1k. Thank you for still watching and commenting! =)
you're a credit to your profession friend, Thanks for doing these videos...
Thank you! I mean it, really.. thanks :) Positive comments keep me posting.
I actually just replaced a screen on a 6S plus that I couldn't test prior to the replacement (broken LCD). Put a new one in and saw half backlight.
What's interesting is on mine I saw signs of previous work as well. Well, it looked more like possibly an Apple refurbished board. The sticky foamy borders were around all the connectors but A LOT of the overfill coatings were missing except for in a couple spots.
I'm gonna see if I can fix this.
You are the best Sir. I was so worried about my phone I researched every where for the solution but unfortunately nothing helped me but in last moment I watched your video and then my phone came right☺☺☺
Thanks for sharing another fantastic video. You are the Louis of iPhones 📱
Thank you! But, I don't consider myself to be anywhere near Louis' level... yet >:) LOL
Wow, you got skills. Helped a collegue with her iphone 6 that loses touch once and a while, couldn't really fix it but it seems to be something with the screen/digitizer cable that looses connection somehow. Wish I could send it to you from Sweden to get it fixed!!
probably touch disesase
Great video thanks for what you are doing! I do iphone repairs part time and can't wait to try fixing my Display test phone iphone 6s where I didn't disconnect battery and have blown at least a filter and who knows what else! Lesson learned the iphone 6s and 6s + are powered even when turned off lol... Just ordered an overkill JBC Nase-1b micro tweezer and micro pencil station to start seriously working over the next few years at getting to your level of confidently working on motherboards. A challenge and kinda fun. Thanks again & keep it up.
Thank you SO much. I love all your videos!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Keeps me posting! :-)
Great work sir....
I love your videos too. Thanks so much.
Hey Jason bro great work as always!!! I was wondering if you use this method from time to time for 6Plus as well?
Nvm I just noticed you are doing it since the 6Plus with no issues ;)
thank you i am from Saudi i do not speak English well but i understand you and i befitted of you a lot of
Thanks! That's good to know. Really it is :)
What soldering tip do you use for the hakko fx951 I've just purchased the same but it comes with a big tip so was wondering what you use and great video 👍🏻
Thanks so much. You are the best
Definitely fixed it, thank you!
beo you just saved my life with a customer phone many many many many many many many thanks :D
Very glad to hear it!
perfect soluation..thank you very much
You are helping brother
Hi Sts telecom
Thanks for the videos,I got same issue with my 6s plus,how can I mail it to you and how much u charge
Thank you
OMG Dude u save my Life .. Your work Appropriated keep it up bro.... :)
Glad to hear it! Thanks
does this also work for the 6 plus? Ive tried to run a jumper maybe I'm running to wrong test points doesn't seem to work. thanks for the videos jason!
thanks a lot the solution is dam good and works superb
nice one good job sir
thanks for the video, would that work in a 6s?
What kind of camera are you using for the top view? Not the microscope but the other one. Thanks
Hello,
Very good job, congratulations
I would like to know the model of the air piston that you use to Rework Station in your noodles
Thank you :) Here is a link to the station I'm using. It's set on 390C and 42 for air.

how do you switch between camer's? Also, have you heard of an adapter for the gopro so it can be mounted on a amscope?
Thanks! It is still useful video. A friend brought 6s plus for me to look at, and I found this video. And of course backlight filter was carbonized and the whole path and via down the board burned out. So I tried the trick with bridging test points for both backlight anodes and now I have power on that side of backlight, but it looks like the connector got somewhat melty when the backlight line burned out so it doesn't make contact anymore. Bummer, but replacing the connector is way beyond me ;-( So it was fun adventure.
Hello. I do have the same issue. I was replacing my iPhone 6 Plus (A1522) screen+home button+and camera; after install it, I turn it on, and all was working properly, then I turn it off to put all the screws and close it, then puff, I have a half backlight and it stay on the apple logo. What can I do? Booth problems are the same, or what? Thanks.
Love you brother I have done it and it works ❤️
Hi Sir,
My iPhone 6s Plus have this same issue (on the right side of the screen). This problem was first appeared a week ago after battery repair. That service centre told me that they won't repair the logicboard of iphones. So, can you help me to repair my phone ? What's the service charge ? And can I sent my phone to you through postal service ?
Hope you'll reply. Thank you :)
thanks great job its work perfectly
I appreciate your work ..
Thank you much for commenting
good brother keep it up
good job
Nice work. I wonder if having one driver power both strips of leds will overload it in time and cause an ic failure?
+mrsemifixit I sure hope not! I didn't have any issues with it on the 6+ but if it does, I'll be replacing 2 drivers and running jumpers.
Hello, Ive recently started buying broken , replacing parts and selling iPhones. Ive started doing more and more complicated replacements and it's peaked my interest interest in learning electronic repairs. How did you begin learning how to solder, use heat guns etc. Thanks for your videos :)
The best way is to just dig in and start. I don't think there is any real substitute for hands on. Unless you are someone who can learn entirely in your mind, then put the work to use in the real world. I have seen people who can... I can't :) It took me about a year to get the feel of soldering and heat. Thanks for watching :)
Could you do a update on this phone, you used one chip to do two chips work. How long that will last?
The solution is dam good and working fine but know lcd of that phone got damage and when I'm changing it's lcd the black shade shifts to other side any solution......
Dude fucking amazing job
Keep it up you are helping lot of people like me 👍
I've sweetened my problem Thanked
Thanks sir ji
V good .it's work for me.bundle of thanks.
Good Job. I didn't know one driver could power both lines. Cool!
Wonder why there is two of them when one is good enough?
Thanks Tony! This was only the 2nd one I wired like that. The customer called a few days later to say thanks... and that they watched the video. I'm surprised after seeing the video they didn't convince themselves that the screen was dimmer. ha! I know seeing the way these things can charcoal filters and blacken areas of components after doing so, there must be plenty of power to run some LED's. The cathodes on both ICs are still at work so I don't think it totally cuts out both drivers.
When iv seen this before it's just been a ferrite half failed, I just replace all of the backlight related filters as iv found some that look good can be corroded between the pad and filter or half burnt out.
Most of the time that is all it is on the 6S and 6S+ :) The 6S is almost always FL4211 blown.
Ha, ha. Been waiting for one of these. This is a please bro solution for sure : ) LOL !
Yes, unless the blown side is still shorted. Then you get no more backlight. :)
Take em down to the ground.
14:48 is where everything starts!
TY For the video
what thickness of jump wire did you use?
This happened to me. I was installing a new screen and forgot to unplugg battery, so I shorted something out when I was placing the power flex on the connector. I think a backlight filter went out. Long story short, I wait a few days, re-install the phone using Itunes and the screen is working fine with the dark spot gone. I'm 100% sure something happened to the phone because I switched several lcds and they were all black on left top corner. So make sure you re-install phone before attempting repair.
You may have just saved my ass man, much appreciation! What are some main causes of this? My employee changed a customer's screen and half the backlight went out. I think he forgot to unplug the battery before disconnecting the screen, could this have caused one of the circuits to die?
Thanks!!!
I've just thought about it but was afraid of putting jumpers like this. Okk thanx
thankyou very much sir you save my life i loveyou.❤👍
lol! You're welcome :)
Thanks. You are the best. but the front camera now not working.
Can you check your iphone please.
Thanks but there are many better, trust me! lol The camera problem really should not be related to this work around.
do you fix touch disease for the 6 plus?
wow best solutions
i have a 6s+ with the same problem but also cant put brightness beyond a certain point, the backlight will completely die. will this jump or regular repair fix both issues?
Not sure on that one... This was days ago so you may have already figured it out. Brightness not going beyond a certain point is normally a coil but on the 6s/6s+ there is a pair of coils for each driver. If this jumper is installed safely without any other damage to the phone or shorting to pads around it, it is safe to try. It is not a proper fix, but it can work if your options are limited.
Alhamdulillah it’s working ❤❤
thanks sir its working
This repair is probably the easiest option for 6 Plus or 6S Plus. You could have pulled the shield and ran a wire because usually the Anode is all that fails on the 6S series. Never seems to make it back any further unless water damage.
Either way it works and should last a long time.
Only critical thing I can say is tell your viewers that lines like this jumper should be covered in a underfill coating after finished to prevent unneeded shorts and possible secondary line failure.
Thanks Chris :) If it was a longer jumper, I would stress it but on this one, I just put a piece of tape over it, then Apple's tape over that! LOL
Thanks for watching and commenting
Apple tape. You know it's gotta be good
STS Telecom can I send you my phone to get repaired. I have the same issue
Aaah darn. I showed the customer what was going on with the backlight and offered to attempt to fix it (not with the jumper thing here but with replacing the filters). He said it wasn't a big deal so I didn't get to do it. :(
In any case I did learn this phone was definitely a refurbished one. It didn't have the plastic film over the components and it looked like the filters had been replaced once before, definitely by Apple because the coating was missing around the filter regions almost entirely.
Those are nice surprises though. When you finish a job and there's some gut-wrenching flaw that the customer winds up being ok with. LOL! I ran into those situations a LOT with screen replacements. :)
what soldering iron are u using ? good job keep it up
That's a Hakko FX-951 station. I switch between the FM-2032 and FM-2027 handles though.
Thank you :)

hi bro you right do you have any solution iphone 6 error 9 and error 4013 any solution
Do you or anyone else know why they have two circuits for each half of the screen if clearly you can get both to run off one? Is it for brightness control? Therefore less brightness when using only one circuit to power both sets of leds?
I'm honestly not sure. I know either side of the circuit can pump out quite a bit of current with what I've seen it do to the filters. It's common to see them melted into blobs with the surrounding components charred from heat. I'm not sure what the specs are though.
Since this video, I haven't jumpered another one like that. I see the pads completely gone from the current quite a bit and on those, I solder a new backlight filter directly to the backlight output cap for whichever driver/side it is. Then I run the jumper from the test point to that filter. I move the filter to the driver end of that wire so that the wire is fused. Then I cover it all up with black goop so it blends right in =) It's hard to see it when I'm done.
On the board in this video, seeing that the last guy jumpered from the cap to the filter, I'm going to say the pad under the filter was gone.. he just thought he could get some power out of that cap :D Not realizing that the juice was coming from beneath that missing pad.
I haven't been able to see a brightness difference other than that between original and aftermarket screens.
please helo its the same in the jumper in iphone6 plus u got my subscribe
LOL i have bought pretty much all the same equipment as you and raring to go but im still waiting on my ZXW tool from china while i tried this fix which didn't work for me (a pointer would be welcome) i have another phone with rear camera issue and on your ZXW tool i can see i need a U3200 chip lol
In the whole internet nobody have the video of that how to reinstall the emi shield into the iPhone motherboard.. Can you do the video of that? And thanks for the all your videos! that your new trinocular microscope is awesome :)
Thank u! I didn't realize that I've never seen anyone put the shields back on in their videos until I read this. LOL! Most repair videos end with "it works, I'm gonna wrap this up... the end" Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
hi, you seem to know everything about idevices, but do you know how i can fix my 6s that is stuck on the Apple logo and gets error 4005 when trying to restore? i can't put it in dfu or recovery (sometimes it does by itself) and i can only turn it off by disconnecting the battery
if i reconnect the battery and turn it on I can restart it with home+power button. can't turn it off but i can restart it
Ruler Zig-Zag Water damaged?
One thing from my perspective is that we often sell ourselves short in our business. A blown cap might be quick and easy for you now but remember the trouble it took to get to that level. remember the cost involved to get all the tools in order to properly diagnose and repair that blown cap. $50 for a quick and easy backlight repair? With utmost respect, I would like to suggest to charge more. At least $100 for opening that phone and performing that job. Personally, I respect anyone who has phased out screen repairs and take note that it takes a lot of guts to do so. We walk away from not just headaches but we walk from a good revenue stream. I personally believe that phasing out screen repairs at my store slowly has given me the time I need to learn macbook repairs. I wish that the moment I saw Louis' first video I had gone that route about one year ago. I mean struggling to learn is the fun part from my perspective. From the business perspective I want to maximize my profits in the limited time I have available to do these repairs. I have a young family at home and they need me as well once dinner time rolls around. Even then, it's hard to find that balance. Please never sell yourself short; look at the comments where people compare you to Louis! If I recall, Louis has a video about charging by how long it took to figure it out or something to that affect. All the best, and I too am a huge fan of your videos, and would also put you in with Louis, Jessa, Mark (ipad rehab), Jason, and the guy from microsoldering.com!
This was very good to read! I only fixed one for that cheap for a local shop who accidentally blew FL4211 on a 6S and I thought, "OMG, look how easy these will be!" Since then I've changed quite a few drivers and spent hours on all sorts of troubleshooting on those and that repair now starts at $95. If I replace FL4211, it is $95 plus return shipping. If I wind up pulling the shield and replacing any of the underfilled IC, diodes or filters, I charge $150 (but should be $200 on a 6S, I know :)) What we go through to be successful in these repairs is really quite spectacular. Just the expectations that people have in us is worth $100 minimum. It really bothers me to see people on eBay doing these repairs for $40 but I know for that price, they can't really spend a reasonable amount of time troubleshooting anything and have no room for warranty work. One of these touch IC previous repair eBay seller attempts that got sent here was told, "sometimes you have to leave it on a shelf for a week or two before they are right"... LOL - it had no touch.
This comment inspires me to continue revising our price list while keeping the rest of the repair community in mind and not only our local situation here. Thank you :)
Stellar Cellular True I can't stand people on eBay offering these services for like $40! Of course people go all for it. These repairs aren't easy at times and don't know why some charge such ridiculous low prices. Taking customers away from people who actually know what they're doing
hello, how can i get that PDF?
thankssssss
very mush
My backlight same as the way u repaired this phone dark left corner a if I do the same repair it will fix it
my iphone 6 pluse im chanc ic toch das tim lihgt nat wark rahit saeed
Thenks for this video
You are welcome :) thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi, why did you put solder on that jumper wire? Copper won't work?
It makes it a lot easier when it is bare copper. This is a piece of magnet wire with enamel coating though so I burn the coating off and tin the wire with solder.
Great!! Thanks for the reply and keep up the good work
hi how long does it to take you to become professional cellphone repair technical
I don't think anyone is every learning. Just when I think I have something figured it, it all changes =) I've been at it on the phone repair side for a few years now.
Do you have to go to a private school to become a cellphone repair technical
i shall subscribe
I have saim problem iphone 6s please help
thnaks 100% Ok
My iPhone 6 backlight gone, Iam change display but same results please replay
The iPhone 6 is bad about backlight. The only way I would be able to help is if you sent it here. Sorry!
كيقولك سوسي صحابي شكرا شكرا my friend sossi he says thank you
thaaaaaaaaanx niiice
Thank you, just managed this with no microscope and the oldest soldering iron in the world. quite easy as long as you tin the wire and have steady hands.
Hi friend
i have iphone 6s motherboard code is 820-5507-a. i have same problem. This phone is my customers. What can i do for 6s. Thank you.
dude same here light off n im like about to tear down n reconnect lol
I kept on saying to myself, there's a component missing when you scanned the microscope over the board, what a mess. Firm's always over engineer the capacity of the draw. Nice job and it works as I bet if you replaced and repaired everything, the dam thing wouldn't work.
Thanks! The way I've seen these things burn filters into black char that look something similar to snake fireworks after they burn... they must be able to crank out enough current to run some LEDs :)
I have this symptom and nobody has repaired anything. I wish I could send my phone to you. Anyone the UK that does this?
you're awesome man! if i could i'd steal your brain :)
Im pretty sure MAMBA and that whole connector is for Home Button + Touch ID functionality, there's even a chip responsible for powering those functions alone :)
+Yered Martinez thanks :) you made me double check! On the 6 that connector is Touch ID but on the 6S it is for touch digitizer as well as Touch ID. I thought the Touch ID functions had been moved to the display connector on the 6S but I was wrong, it is still in the same connector, they just crammed digitizer in there with it. Lol
Sorry for my late reply! So we`re implying that if the MAMBA connector gets messed up with we'll have touch problems? Oh dear, I should study my schematics. lol
Hey quick question, Have you ever encountered No Touch on a 6S then you changed screens but still the same? the phone first had a Tristar replacement, with I replaced again to double check (charging ok) but i just can't figure out why touch isn't working... should I take a look at MAMBA maybe?
