Welcome to my Locals community! I will be sharing information & content about Phone Repair, Microsoldering & Data Recovery. It will be mostly geared towards iPhone & iPads, but will include some Android & Game Consoles as well, like Samsungs, Nintendo Switches, etc.
In this community, I will regularly share:
1. Repairs I am working on
2. Solutions to repairs I completed
3. Things I discover when doing board work
4. New tools I am using and whether they're any good or not
5. Useful diagnostics steps
and more!
If you become a paying supporter, you can also post in this community for help, bring up discussions about phone repair, business & life in general!
But the biggest thing I think you all will be excited about is...
I will be doing a group livestream at least once a month. Maybe once a week if I get enough supporters to join.
Basically, it'll be a Zoom call where you can join me while I work on a repair and we can interact in real time.
If you've joined my YouTube livestreams, you know how I am just talking at you. I do read the live chat, but it's sometimes hard to keep track of what everyone is saying.
But if I were to do it in a group video call, then we can talk in real time and interact with everyone
Everything is still brand new & working on figuring out how to do all this, but make sure to subscribe to be notified.
Also, I am still figuring out how to use this site, so expect some growing pains 😅
Excited to start this!

If you have a Seek Thermal Cam, you're missing out if you don't have a VCC Seek Stand: https://www.vccboardrepairs.com/buy-seek-stand
Injured Gadgets just got these back in stock, so get them while you can!
It can take us a while to build these out sometimes, so they're sometimes out of stock for a while, but we're working towards always having inventory ready to build more as they sell out.
This stand makes using a thermal cam so easy. So much better than any other thermal solution on the market.
It allows you to get real close up (using my Macro Lens), and easily find where the short is coming from.
Plus it's hard free, so you can have your hands free to try to boot the device from DCPS, while having an image that is in focus & not moving around.
You can even record a video through the app, while you inject voltage into the short, so you can go back & see exactly which component was it that was heating up.
Save yourself lots of time by getting a Seek Cam, Stand & Macro Lens! ...
Anyone who is doing game console repairs, knows how many screws you need to remove to access the motherboard.
Especially the PS5, with the 5,000 screws or so.
If you don't already have an electric screwdriver, GET ONE ASAP.

🌟Extended T9 Bit: https://amzn.to/3c4YJac
It's rechargeable through micro USB and allows you to easily swap the tips out. You can also fold it to be straight or L shape.
Let me know below if you are already using an electric screwdriver 👇👇
Get rid of your Hakko & get an Aixun! This is the cheapest soldering iron that you can buy that works this well.
I use the T420D on a daily basis but this one works just as well.

We get so many iPads in for repair, where we can see they replaced the battery. In most cases, the battery was not the issue.
But due to the lack of understanding of the troubleshooting steps, they replace it, costing time & possibly damaging other things on the board.
In this video, I show an example of an iPad Pro 11in, 3rd Gen that is not charging:
Customer replaced the port themselves, but it still won't charge.
Watch the full video if you want to master diagnosing iPads with USB C 🙏
Then make sure to let me know what you learned in the comments.

I saw a video about this one which Jesse made. Do you still use this one, did you get any issue on this? And I have JBC solder tips. Can I use them with the tool above?
