Why isn't my iPhone 5 starting?
Hi
I'm having this problem from over one year. My power charger (the original one) got so used up that i bot another one....but it was fake. I didn'n know that at the moment, only when my phone started to show some problems i realised i made a big mistake. I bot a new, original one (lightning cable)(charger) and it was fine all again. Untill inrun out of juice. My battery, over one night, got empty. In the morning, when i tried to charge it again, it was dead. For real. When i took it to the service they told me that a chip on the processor got burn, because the fake charger didn't offer the ammount of voltage it required. So the only way to save it is to change the whole processor, thing that in all my country is taboo. Nobody know how. It is to risky etc. I am sure that the chip un the A6 is burned because one guy took my battery, put it inside another iphone 5, charge it to 100% and when back in my phone it didn't start. Then he show me the chip and indeed it was fried. The thing is that it's glued to the processor. I'm living in Romania so i don't got the chance to send it to you guys, in the near future though. I got two questions: if I, somehow, charge it, and while charging I plug in another charger through the jack it will somehow give it the boost necessary to see the light againg or burn it whole? And last. How much is a new processor? That if there are some to sale? I apologize for my poor english. I'm looking forward for your reply. With respect Alexander.
Is this a good question?

There is a guy on youtube that repaired the chip. Easy and fast. But if the chip is burned (because I was using wrong voltage) is there any chance to repair it. I mean...he was taking the black stuff off the chip and it was fine...I am trying to find any solution to repair...imagine that nobody here knows how to remove the A6 or the U2. The only way is to change the whole mother board...but that will cost me like half the price of an iphone 5s. So just to be sure before i'll go and sell it by pieces. If the U2 chip is gone, so is the A6? Thanks!

You were looking at Ashfaq in Pakistan. It is straightforward to get a replacement chip from China. Finding someone who can do it that is not him? Tough. I'm going to try another one this week. I'll post back if that one inspires me to take some on as repair, but I doubt it!
