Solved: iPhone 8 Plus no service after insert SIM card

We've received an iPhone 8 Plus from our customer, the problem is that the iPhone 8P dropped before, and then the iPhone 8P is no service after insert the SIM card, if we don't insert the SIM card, the iPhone always prompts "no SIM card Installed".

For a dropped iPhone, mostly the iPhone solder pad pins are missing, or the iPhone is short-circuited by dropping. The iPhone 8 plus was dropped before, so we suspect that the solder pads are off the pins.

After disassemble the iPhone by phone opening tools, we found the iPhone has been repaired by other repair man, the DSM_LB_E and DSM_HB_E chips on the iPhone motherboard had been removed.


Use Fluke 15B+ Digital Multimeter to measure the diode data for iPhone solder pad, we found the SCLK_HB_LB_DSM_FILT_E signal for the DSM_LB_E and DSM_HB_E IC is short-circuited.

Open the WUXINJI Dongle to check iPhone schematic diagram and bitmap, we found the previous repair man installed the R1608_E resistor in the C1602_E capacitor position, the position of the C1602_E capacitance on the schematic diagram is not installed.


Use tweezers to remove the resistance on the C1602_E capacitor position, and then use QUICK 861DW to solder it to the original place, solder the jumper wire to the missing pins on the solder pad, and welded the component chips. Now install the iPhone and test it, but the problem still there.

Disassemble the iPhone, observe the iPhone motherboard under the 3D Digital Microscope, comparing with the iPhone schematic diagram, we found the FL1501_E inductance missing, but it's installed on the schematics diagram.


Connect the missing inductor directlyand then turn on the iPhone to test.


Now the signal is normal after insert the SIM card, and the phone call is normal, the repairs end.


This failure is caused by missing pins on solder pad and dropped components.
