The most common reason we hear is that the PS5 has been dropped or knocked while plugged in. This causes the HDMI cable to yank out and physically damage the port. It can also happen while plugging in the cable. The ports are quite delicate so if the HDMI cable isn’t plugged in carefully to the PS5 it can cause damage.

If the port doesn’t look damaged, there is another part of the motherboard that could have failed.

How do we repair the PS5?

To repair this fault we need to carefully strip the console down to the motherboard. From there we desolder the old HDMI port. The port is attached by 4 main holding legs that are through-hole soldered and the HDMI data pins are surface mounted so it is a delicate job. Once the old port is removed, the solder pads of the logic board are inspected for damage. If the original port is really badly yanked, this can cause damage to the motherboard and in some circumstances could be beyond repair (although that is very rarely the case).

Once we have cleaned up the board and prepped the solder pads for the new port, we solder the new HDMI port to the PS5. We reassemble the console and it goes down to our testing bench where all consoles are tested for at least 4 hours.

1. If you haven’t restore yet, go to phone menu. Press *#06#. It will show your iPhone IMEI.
   Nothing appear after you press *#06#, then it’s confirm you having Baseband problem.
2. Try dial 112. Baseband problem will just show you call failed (it’s emergency call number which must be able to call out in most country, even for a locked iPhone)
3.  Error 1 or -1 in iTunes restored failed. (Only iPhone 6, 6P and older models)
4.  Error 4013 (iPhone 6S, 6SP, 7, 7P, 8, 8P) After fail restored, you still see iTunes logo in your iPhone.

Please note: THIS WILL NOT WORK ON NETWORK BLOCKED PHONES.

Questions:
Why did the problem happen?
A: Usually is because you dropped it too hard.

WHY? My other iPhone doesn’t have this kind of issue even if I drop it thousand of times
A: I can tell you It is the Design Flaw.
Because the baseband IC is sitting middle of the logic board. So when the iPhone7 fell hard on the floor, the long logicboard will get slightly bend on middle and return to a position but…
By so many black glues bound between the PCB and this IC, the joint of this IC will still get cracked or lost contact to the board.

So how to fix it?
A: Most of the cases, it just needs reball the Baseband CPU with a better solder paste which is more durable than Apple. Sometimes even need to repair broken tracks below at this IC.
We must take it out to check.

To do this job, the technician himself MUST BE very skillful and experience. Master of heat control.
Why? Because CPU is SITTING next to it!! If you put too much heat, A10 CPU beside will be shorted or died. CPU’s hundreds of solder balls will be messed up/disturbed by underfilled black glue.

If you’re having any of the following problems with your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus, it may be down to audio IC disease:-

• One or more of these audio-related problems:-
  • Audio is being dropped at your end on a voice call
  • Person at other end of a voice call can’t hear you, or just gets static
  • Grayed-out/Greyed-out voice memos
  • Greyed out loudspeaker
  • Siri doesn’t respond, as it can’t hear you
• Boot time much longer than usual (around three to five minutes)
• iTunes detects the iPhone, but its screen stays stuck on Apple logo
• Haptic feedback on the phone button works, but (again) screen is stuck at Apple logo stage
• Response after inputting the pass code is laggy
