We talked to the service center and collected the five most common iPhone breakdowns. There are actually six of them. The last one is “crooked hands”. But nothing can save them, so let’s move on to the other five...

1. Oh, I dropped it

Perhaps the most common, most unpleasant and most “expensive” type of damage to an iPhone is broken glass. For older models, replacing the display was a simple and inexpensive procedure. Now the latest generation models will seriously empty your pocket.

The replacement procedure itself takes just over half an hour. Usually, necessary components service employees already have it. We don’t recommend looking where it’s really cheap: they’ll just supply you with a low-quality “penny” module.

By the way, you can avoid spending and parting with your smartphone protective glass or film, which in most cases will save the module from damage. They are relatively inexpensive: from 900 to 2000 rubles, which is several times cheaper than replacing a display module.

What is the price: cost of replacing the display iPhone 6 amounts to 12990 rubles. Broken module from iPhone 6 Plus will cost more - 25990 rubles.

2. For some reason it discharges quickly

Even if you don’t drop your iPhone, it will break sooner or later. The reason for this is - battery. It is not infinite: the resource of modern batteries is designed for approximately one and a half to two years of adequate operation, after which the cells begin to fail under the influence of external factors.

Most often, wear occurs due to regular use a low-quality Chinese charger that slowly but surely “kills” the smartphone’s electronics. The operating temperature also affects the service life: leaving the iPhone in the car overnight at sub-zero temperatures or forgetting it in the sun, you will seriously reduce not only the resource (and time battery life), but also the time until the spare part fails completely.

Battery service life depends incredibly large quantity"little things", including humidity! Therefore, even if you want, you will not be able to monitor all the negative factors. But you can quickly understand that trouble has overtaken you if:

• the charge indicator shows incorrect data;
• the battery discharges unusually quickly;
• the device turns off in advance, until it is completely discharged;
• the back cover is lifted (urgently for service);
• bloating of the screen (everything is very bad);
• shutdown in cold or hot weather.

Fixing this problem takes 15 minutes in a trusted service. You simply remove the back cover and carefully replace the battery. But there is a nuance here. Search good service, where you will be given a guarantee for the replaced battery (and not for a month or two). Cheap Chinese batteries die sharply, especially if they were purchased from bad suppliers. Don't create more problems for yourself by taking risks with your battery.

What is the price: battery replacement for iPhone 6 will cost 1990 rub., the procedure will cost the same amount for iPhone 6 Plus.

3. Honey, I Drowned My iPhone

Moisture entering the iPhone can lead to irreversible consequences: from damage to the microcircuits to failure of the battery.

First and main advice If such a problem is detected: quickly turn off the iPhone and take it to a trusted service center, where they will dry it and test all parts for damage. Normal places that care about reputation will do diagnostics for free.

iPhone drying service iCases will cost 500 rubles. But it makes sense to order it only if the device has not suffered any additional damage. This happens rarely.

The company does free diagnostics and if something breaks, you will know about it too. The cost of a full repair depends heavily on a lot of factors (what’s broken, what can be replaced, what can be cleaned), but it’s unlikely to be cheap.

What is the price: depends on the damage. Better let's do it this way. If you're going on vacation this spring and summer, just take a good waterproof case. This is about 30 times cheaper than buying a new iPhone:

Lifeproof Case for iPhone 6

This case reliably protects your iPhone 6 from moisture, dirt and snow. It's impact-resistant and can withstand any household hazards day in and day out. Lifeproof Frē is incredibly thin, lightweight and gives you complete control over your smartphone, even underwater.

4. Now I’ll save money and buy a charger for 3 rubles.

Fact: Everything Apple sells is made in China. But China is incredibly diverse and diverse – just like original and “fake” iPhone chargers.

Uncertified (no label MFi) chargers bought for 100 rubles in transition can lead to a lot of problems. For example, to a device fire, which is incredibly rare, but accurate. And bad “charging” can damage the U2 IC chip, which controls the battery charge, sleep button and USB functions.

What is the price: from 2 thousand rubles or more, depending on the severity of the damage.

Cheap chargers do not stabilize the fluctuating voltage in the network - and damage the batteries. Briefly speaking, NEVER buy “left” chargers. Here is an example of normal charges:

Capdase Dual Power Adapter USB Charger for iPhone/iPod/iPad White

The charger has two USB ports and can be connected to any cable with a USB connector. One of the skates of this manufacturer is ergonomics.

Charger Eco Style 1000 mAh for iPhone/iPod/Android

Universal mains charger. Built-in protection: filter capacitors, electronic output overload protection prevents devices from voltage surges.

5. iPhone's Little Car Killer

Why did we list these accessories as a separate item? Yes, because they apply separately iPhone batteries more harm than all the crooked repairmen combined!

For some reason, most car portable chargers sin problem of power surges, and with it the problem of the mass murder of iPhones. Many car enthusiasts, having forgotten about the safety of their smartphone, are completely absorbed in the convenience of quickly recharging their mobile phone directly from the cigarette lighter.

At the same time, they buy cheap adapters, and then complain that their iPhone is discharged in one day. Or it just stops turning on. Of course, this is Apple's fault, not the shameful piece of plastic with a USB port that the Chinese cried and bit over in the basement of Sichuan Province.

What is the price: if we are talking about repairs - from 2 thousand and more. And if we are talking about buying a normal car charging– then noticeably less.

Automatic charging Capdase Dual Usb Car Charger AMPO T2

The plastic case of the autocharger is very durable and scratch-resistant. Two USB port will allow you to charge your smartphone and tablet at the same time. The main thing is that the total load does not exceed 3.4A!

The most expensive component of Apple smartphones is the motherboard. For iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S, the new board will cost from 13 to 24 thousand rubles. You can save money if you purchase a component that has already been used - taken out of a phone that was sent for disassembly.

How much does a new motherboard cost?

Cost of a new one motherboard For iPhone smartphones 5 and 5S depends on several factors. First of all, of course, the price depends on the generation of the device and the amount of installed permanent memory. In the case of 5 and 5S, prices are approximately as follows:

• The motherboard for iPhone 5 with 16 gigabytes starts from 13 thousand and ends 18 thousand rubles.
• For the fifth iPhone with 32 gigabytes of ROM - from 16 to 20 thousand.
• For a more modern model - 5S, but with a minimum amount of ROM, the motherboard costs 20-22 thousand rubles.
• 5S with 32 gigabytes – 20-24 thousand.

It should be noted that the prices indicated in the list are applicable for motherboards of phones that are certified in the Russian Federation. Some companies order components from abroad, and they do not always have the required certificate. They are usually cheaper, but problems can arise with them. For example, after replacing the board, the device may stop working with SIM cards Russian operators. An unlocking will be required, and this will cost additional money.

The second thing the cost depends on is greed of component suppliers and sellers. Some may set an inflated price tag for products, especially if they do not have serious competitors.

Cost of a used motherboard for iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S

Of course, the price of a new component for fifth-generation iPhones is quite high. However, fortunately, you can still save on repairs. So, for example, there is an option to install a motherboard that was previously in another smartphone.

For iPhone 5, the price of boards on electronic bulletin boards starts at 8 thousand rubles. This is much less than the cost of a new component. On the iPhone 5S, even for the version with 32 gigabytes of memory, you can purchase a motherboard for 10-12 thousand.

In large cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg you can find even more profitable offer. Up to 5-6 thousand rubles. Why so cheap? It's simple! For example, a person broke the screen and does not want to bother with repairs. Due to the fact that the device does not look quite appropriate, it is sold for almost nothing.

Why is the motherboard so expensive?

A motherboard for an iPhone is not a motherboard for a computer. Here are all the components (processor, RAM, permanent memory, various modules and sensors) are soldered. They are not officially shipped separately.

System board repair

If you want to save money, then instead of replacing the system board, you can use services for its repair. In 70-80% of cases, a malfunction in the device can be eliminated without replacing the entire board.

The cost of repairs varies depending on the type of repairs needed, as well as the firm's business strategy. However, on average, troubleshooting a system board costs from 1 to 5 thousand rubles. This is much less than the cost motherboard for iPhone or iPhone 5S, even one that was removed from an old phone. Therefore, before buying a new board, it is strongly recommended to consult and find out: it may be possible to restore the functionality of your smartphone by replacing one component.

iPhone motherboard is complicated system chip, which contains soldering of control electronic modules: processor (A6-A9), RAM(16 – 128 Gb), microcontrollers touch screen, USB, Wi-Fi, power supply, frequency duplexer filters, transceivers, power amplifiers and a number of switching device microcircuits.

The motherboard is the “heart” and “brain” of the mobile Apple phone. It is hidden under the display module and is well protected from the “rear” by aluminum back cover housings. However, if there are strong mechanical shocks or water gets inside the device, it can easily fail, which will require complex and expensive repairs.

When is it necessary to replace the motherboard on an iPhone?

Mechanical damage or water getting inside the device are the most common causes of motherboard failure on an iPhone. Individual soldered components can sometimes be repaired separately, but usually a complete replacement of the iPhone motherboard is required if:

• appeared on the chip itself mechanical damage or cracks;
• more than 50% of the microassembly components burned out due to contact oxidation or short circuit.

Service Specialists Apple devices They consider iPhone motherboard repair to be the most complex type of restoration repair, and recommend that in such situations you contact professional service centers.

iPhone motherboard repair

In case of minor damage to individual modules associated with motherboard, it is possible to restore them autonomously, but most often the system board completely fails and it is necessary to replace the entire iPhone board. This technology reduces the gadget recovery time to 30-40 minutes and eliminates accidental damage to cables and still serviceable components.

However, you most likely will not be able to repair the iPhone board yourself, because:

• To determine the real causes of the breakdown, phone diagnostics is necessary;
• It is impossible to disassemble a smartphone without a special tool and practical experience;
• For replacement, only original components are required.

If replacing the motherboard on your iPhone is inevitable, contact the specialists of the Honest Service service center with this problem, who provide professional and inexpensive restoration of Apple mobile devices in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

We carry out a full range of repair work on iPhones flooded with water and liquids. We carry out complex repairs including replacing chips, discrete elements, power circuits, and restoring conductive paths.

The procedure for performing repair work on an iPhone filled with liquid:

• We diagnose a flooded iPhone. Diagnostics are carried out within 24 hours. Such a long period is due to the identification of all faulty components, as well as an assessment of the nature of the damage.
• We contact the client and fully describe the necessary repair work. After diagnostics, managers contact the client in a way convenient for the client: telephone, e-mail, provide the entire fault map, and also name the exact amount of repairs.
• Repairing a flooded iPhone. Repair work on iPhones filled with liquid is usually carried out within 1 to 4 working days. After the repair, the iPhone is tested for 12 hours; if the testing does not reveal any faults, the iPhone is sent back for delivery.
• Payment for repair work. Payment is due after iPhone checks client. You can pay as follows: by bank card, in cash and by bank transfer.

The most common types of damage to flooded iPhones

• Filled iPhone by water. Most common when using iPhone in rain or in countries with a humid climate. Moisture gets inside the device, which leads to a short circuit; as a result of a short circuit, discrete elements, controllers, and power circuits on the motherboard fail.
• I filled the iPhone with liquid (alcoholic drinks). The malfunctions in this case are the same as in the case of flooding with water.
• iPhone is filled with viscous liquid. It occurs less frequently; viscous liquids are usually very difficult to clean; contact with a microphone, auditory speakers, or polyphonic speakers with viscous liquid leads to failure of these components. If a viscous liquid gets in, failure of the iPhone motherboard is less common.

A little about how we repair a flooded iPhone

After the iPhone is delivered to the technical department by a specialist, the specialist produces complete cleaning iPhone from liquids and moisture in an ultrasonic chamber. After the ultrasonic chamber, all components of the iPhone are completely dried. After the iPhone has dried, motherboard faults are identified on a hardware bench. After identifying a fault, the specialist makes a complete fault map and transmits the information to managers. After confirming the customer's repair, the specialist begins repair work. Repairs are carried out at a highly qualified level using original components, as well as professional equipment with factory soldering quality. After the repair of the iPhone motherboard is completed, a full test is carried out; if faults are identified during the testing process, the specialist eliminates them. After passing the quality control department, the specialist places the iPhone for delivery.
