AP_TO_LCM_RESET shorted, no image no backlight.

AP_TO_LCM_RESET shorted on iPhone 6s. Phone is recognised by iTunes when plugged into a computer. Im getting no image & no backlight. Ive done a bit of research on this from the limited information available and it seems as though it is looking like a no fix.

Has anybody had this issue before and had any luck solving it?

Cheers

It's highly unlikely that R4220 is shorted. The fact that you removed it and the short was still there would lead me to believe that C4221 is the culprit here. Remove that cap to see if the short goes away. If it doesn't, then check the connector to make sure there are no issues there before calling it a no fix...unless you enjoy removing CPU's :>).

haha its not a strong passion of mine :) but i might give it a go for educational purposes lol i removed C4221, the Filter and the resistor on that line and the short is still there. Ive already changed the connector and removed a shorted cap from the 5V7 line.

Hi Dan,

FL4221 seems ok and isn't shorted, R4220 is shorted. I have removed R4220 and the short still exists which i think means the short is either in the CPU or in the trace to the CPU.
