An iPhone 12 Pro Max that won’t charge and remains stuck at the Apple logo is a repair technician’s challenge. This issue arose after a screen replacement, leading to motherboard problems. This detailed guide explores the troubleshooting process, identifies the root cause, and outlines the steps to replace the defective USB chip.

Fenómeno del defecto

• The original screen was damaged and has been replaced with a new one.
• After a few days of use, the phone stopped working and could not be booted. 
• Connected it to the charging cable, but there was no response.

Solución de problemas

Disassemble the phone and apply a sticker to the Face ID module.

Inspección inicial

Face ID Module: Protected with a sticker before disassembly.

Placa base:

• No signs of previous repairs or water damage.
• No physical deformation.

Everything looks fine.

Boot Current Check

• Connected the motherboard to a DC power supply and observed the current curve.
• The boot current remained fixed at 400mA, suggesting chip damage.

Thermal Imaging Analysis

• Separated the motherboard layers using a heating platform.
• Supplied power and used thermal imaging to locate overheating.
• Identified the USB chip as the source of excessive heat.

Proceso de reparación

USB Chip Removal

• Removed the defective USB chip using a hot air gun and tweezers.
• Worked quickly to avoid impacting the nearby Power Management Unit (PMU).
