HARD DROP! iPhone XS Max with No Touch - How To Bottom Board Swap - Sandwich Repair

The iPhone XS Max Logic Board is actually made up of 2 logic boards sandwiched together. The problem with this design, is that after hard drops, the 2 layers can separate. In some cases, the bottom board itself breaks & needs a bottom board swap.
So I will have to replace the whole bottom board & swap over Baseband CPU, WiFI & Baseband Eeprom data. This repair takes a while, so sit back & relax, cuz this is going to be a long one.

    This isn’t feasible to do as a 1st or 2nd project, huh? I don’t think I have the tools, so I wish I knew how to ask a shop if they’d be willing to give it a go. I’m pretty dang sure my screen is good and the digitizer is connected, so this sandwich bump seems to be my problem. Thanks for the video; well done!

    Definitely not for a beginner nor an intermediate level soldering tech. Where are you located? If you're in the USA, I accept mail in repairs. If you're outside of the USA, I'd recommend calling repair shops near you and ask if they offer microsoldering repairs, and if they can do "sandwich" repairs

    No. the iCloud is based of the IMEI. I am keeping the same main board. This is not an iCloud lock device nor a iCloud lock removal process.
