iPhone 6 flashlight failure with hardware solution

Here is an iPhone 6 with flashlight failure, after measurement, we confirmed it's the hardware problem, here is a hardware solution to fix the iPhone flashlight problem.


First of all, we need to disassemble the iPhone 6. Use screwdrivers to remove the screws next the iPhone lighting port, put iPhone 6 on the CPB screen separator for heating, turn the iPhone display screen down and connect it to the CPB screen separator. After a while, we can take out the iPhone 6, and then use LCD sucker to open the iPhone screen easily.

Put iPhone motherboard under the microscope to observe, it’s found that there is no iPhone flashlight IC, and the solder pad of the iPhone flashlight IC has lost several pins.
