Introduction |
Inspired by the recent microsoldering series with Jessa Jones, I figured that since I have dabbled with the concept of micro soldering a tad bit myself, I figured: Why not make a guide about it? There is an obvious lack of SMD guide content here on iFixit, and this guide, while being novice made, can be of some assistance to someone just starting out on cellphone motherboard soldering. It would be an honor to have someone as renowned as Jessa see this, and comment on what I am doing right and/or wrong, to help me improve.
So, by no means is this a professional-made guide, as you can see from the general look and feel to the guide. This is a more practical approach, without overly sophisticated wording and such. This guide could, however, be an inspiration to some professional person, who sees this and thinks, 'This guy has it all wrong', and actually makes a guide that has all the facts right.
The key to this repair - like with all microsoldering, in my opinion - is inspection you. You will be examining the device carefully at each step. And please note: If you see no visible damage done to the simSIM card slot, consider other possiblities. For example, set time right on IOS to have the phone ask you for PIN code. Use common sense: if you feel like you should not be doing something like this, don't. | | Think first, then act. | | | Watch these videos for extra knowledge, if you are feeling unsure at this point. | | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1UxrNav3xI | | | Also, read this guide in its entirety before actually starting the repair. |
