iPhone Hardware Repairs - iPhone Not Charging - Dissassembly Video

By Aaron Besson at 3 September, 2008, 10:42 am

I don’t think that you get to see someone take apart an iPhone (far less two) everyday, so I decided to record this yesterday as I was fixing an iPhone that was not charging nor being recognized by any computer when plugged in. I had fixed this before by taking out the CommBoard and Battery and fixing a wire that was loose after a hard fall, so I thought I would try again.

Before you watch please note: there probably are better and safer ways to do this, I am no professional/trained iPhone Certified Technician or anything. I learned to take apart phones fixing my own and others for friends. Please do not complain to me if you try anything here an damage your iPhone. I do all my own stunts.

Enjoy!!

Thank you SO much for posting this vid. All the other vids/instructions online about taking apart your iphone don't actually show you how freaking hard it is to get the casing off! Anyway, my phone (way off warranty) had a fall and wouldn't charge or be recognized by itunes AND people couldn't hear me on calls (but everything else was okay). Later when I tried to restart it, endless reboot would ensue. I opened up the iPhone and reconnected the comm board and adjusted the soldered battery connections, and all was well!

And again, if anyone decides to do this, do so at your own risk. My iPhone was off warranty, and the new 3G S is coming out next week anyway, so I had nothing to lose.
