Iphone 4 wont make test call after removing caps to fix water damage http://www.skyecomputer.com/baseband.jpg http://www.skyecomputer.com/baseband1.jpg http://www.skyecomputer.com/baseband3.jpg These are some pics removed shorted caps near baseband some other ones had damage as you can see in picture 2 it has full service connects to verizon i go to make a 611 call it hangs in calling did i network setting reset didnt work havnt tryed factory yet before i removed these caps the phone would not charge by battery i dont know if the pics are to close up thanks in advance for all help |
Anyone have any advise this one is driving me crazy |
Check the two points where the cap used to be. does it still beep? if so your short is somewhere else. |
When an engineer design a circuit with capacitors, they are there for a reason ;-) They minimize ripple when you have a change in voltage. If you have made a huge reduction in capacitance between a voltage line and ground, this could cause problems! Therefore: resolder all (or at least the big ones) capacitors, and if nothing else is damaged on the board, you should be good to go! |
yah jergeron the capacitors in the pic http://www.skyecomputer.com/baseband1.jpg are very small i dont think i have the parts to resolder but this is were i think my problem is coming from that other wise some of the bigger caps that i did desolder that were shorted do to water damage did fix the major problem with the phone if you think its the bigger ones in the other 2 pic i think i can resolder i just didnt know if the smaller ones in the link that i just referenced were actally filters and maybe needed a solder bridge again im not a professional i just do what i can i understand everything is there for a purpose i just didnt know if anyone could direct me as to what part of the board was causing this problem i will work on it again tommrow and post results thanks for your input. |
You can find schematic on this forum, and from this you can see if the components you have removed are capacitors or coils. You should defiantly resolder the bigger capacitors (>1uF), this could very well be the root to problems :-) |
only problem i found a few schematic the 4 s and the 4 but this is a cdma iphone 4 and only schematic i found was the gsm and they are different either way this board had a ton of water damage and its possible i may just let this one go its only a 8 gig verizon phone anyway just got to many hours into looking at this great thanks to all who helped and i wish i could have posted a solution to this one. i have resolder all big caps and they get no bleep so there not shorted i did pull a pad on one of them so i cant resolder that one anyways thx again. |
