We Specialize in iPhone Data Recovery
iPhone motherboards are some of the most technologically advanced pieces of equipment that modern consumers have access to. They pack a maze of intersecting voltage lines, controlling a multitude of different functions, into a tiny area inside your iPhone. Everything that your iPhone can do is controlled by the motherboard; it acts as the brain. Once the iPhone X was released it became clear that iPhone Motherboard Repair and would become even more common. It is a stacked interposer type logic board that can be prone to voltage line disconnects. UNABLE TO ACTIVATE and NO SOUND DURING CALLS are both examples of iPhone XS Max Motherboard voltage line disconnects.
There are a few ways that iPhone motherboards will typically fail:
Flexion
Over time, flexion of the iPhone can break the voltage line traces causing disconnects. When this happens, a jumper wire is used to manually reconnect the broken line. The problem is gradual and usually happens without you noticing.
High Impact
A cracked screen is not the only possible outcome from a dropped phone. If your phone suffers a severe drop or is crushed it is likely that the motherboard will also be damaged. Capacitors become shorted, coils become loose, and chips become smashed.
Spontaneous Failure / Voltage Spike
Sometimes it is unclear why the logic board failed. Often, a capacitor will be found shorted on power lines for seemingly no reason.
Water Damage
Water will wreak havoc to a motherboard. In most cases, a motherboard that has been damaged by water will show problems for the rest of its lifetime, even if repaired. For this reason the best solution is to perform IPHONE DATA RECOVERY if you do not have a backup and purchase a new phone.
Technician Damage
It is also common for iPhone Repair Shops to damage the motherboard during routine screen replacements. If the battery is not unplugged or a small component is accidentally knocked off then it is likely that image or touch will fail, or the phone may not turn on at all.
USB C Failure (iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max)
With Apple's move to USB-C, we are finding that aftermarket or bad USB-C charging cables are damaging the iPhone 15 series motherboards. This failure will cause the iPhone to no longer charge as well as for the touch screen to no longer register touch inputs.

The CPU Swap
iPhones are our specialty and we are the best with them. iPhone Data Recovery is accomplished by performing micro-soldering on the motherboard to repair the broken power and data lines. We are experts at the full "CPU Swap" procedure, which involves moving the CPU, NAND, and logic EEPROM from a damaged logic board to a fresh one.
This method is the most effective strategy for Water Damaged iPhone Data Recovery and Broken iPhone Data Recovery. We do not use software methods, as those do not work for iPhones that won't turn on.
We are successful on iPhones that have been deemed a “critical unrecoverable error” by competing technicians. If your data is important, send your iPhone to us.
