Hello folks, I have a weired acting 6s here. First it came with dead. It had a short on Vcc main (C3618_F ) which I replaced. Short is gone but now the trouble starts. First of all it looks like someone already repaired the backlight (the customer hadn’t had it repaired and just bought it used). So the history is…it worked until they exchanged the battery to a not original one (2,1A instead if 1,8Ah). My current measurements look as followed DCPS on 4,2V Vcc main = 4,2V Vcc Batt = 4,2V PP5V0 USB - 5V PP3V0_Tristar - first there are 3V but then it starts jumping to 0 and to 1,7V and back to 3V but it’s never constant voltage PP1V8 - 0V PP3V0_Nand - jumps aswell from 3V to 0 (like PP3V0_Tristar) PP_CPU - jumps aswell from 0,8 to 0V and so on PP_GPU - 0V According to my dcps there is no other short and I measured the resistances of those lines and had those results: PP1V8 - 70kOhm PP_CPU - 110Ohm PP3V0_Nand - starts at around 20MOhms and goes up to 40+ PP_GPU - 30Ohm I tested the tristar with a tristar tester and no failure found. I never had such a heavy defect on a board and I’m uncertain if this could only be caused by a defect U2000 (pmic). Since I have never heared of this one being defect. Could anyone give me a hint on what to inspect/check or if it’s better to just let it be and trash it?
Thanks in advance
Which Tristar tester did you use? The voltages measured seem a little off, specifically the jumping PP3V0_Tristar and NAND and the 0V mon PP1V8. Because your original issue was related to a replacement battery, I would check the Tristar/Tigris circuits again. Have you tried measuring the voltage on the battery connector (on the logic board) with the Lightning port connected? You should measure around 3.7V.
