Dead iPhone Data Recovery Case Studies: Logic Board Repair & Microsoldering

Explore real iPhone data recovery case studies focused on logic board repair for “no power” and “lost-cause” devices. Each post documents board-level diagnostics like diode mode testing, power rail measurements, and thermal imaging to locate shorts and failures caused by drops, liquid damage, or prior repair attempts. When necessary, we cover advanced microsoldering work such as cpu swaps, interposer reballing (sandwich board repair), NAND / memory-related recovery, and component-level rework to get the phone booting so photos and data can be transferred safely.
