    Help locating short in iPhone

    Hi guys I'm working on an iPhone 6s+ that has a short on the vcc_main line.

    I've soldered a wire to the vcc_main test point and applied power from bench supply. It draws 3 amps but I can't feel anything getting warm.

    Ive also tried using freeze spray, nothing. Usually doing this makes it evident what's shorted but this time it's not.

    Any tips on how to locate the faulty component?

            Short on PP_VDD_MAIN on iPhone 12, disappears when I split the boards.
            by SarcasticOP
            Hello Wise Ones,

            I am working on an iPhone 12 that fell into a lake and has a short to the main power rail. I do a general look over the board and see no obvious physical issues such as burned-out caps or a split between the boards and the interposer. I separated the top board and the short seemed to disappear. I then checked every test point that I could and they are all not showing a short at all, even the spot where I initially tested. I assumed that something was causing a bridge in the interposer so I removed all the old solder, reapplied some new solder, and sandwiched the boards...

            Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
            by DynaxSC
            Hi Folks

            I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

            I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
            After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
            The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

            MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
            by Stephen
            I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

            Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
            by Victor Moreira Silva
            Hello everyone,

            I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

            Well, my decice specs are the following:

            Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
            CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
            GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
            Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

            The symptom:
            When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

            Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
            by aaronkatrini
            Hi all,

            Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

            Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...
