NO SERVICE - Service provider tabs keeps disappearing & bad battery

Block Image

Hello, yesterday I dropped my phone leaving a small indent in it and I woke up this morning noticing the phone was dead (never have let my phone die ever) and when I charge it (I left my phone for a hour or two and it went down about 30% which could be related?) and there is suddenly no service and I can recall receiving calls before I dropped my phone. And it also not my service provider because my sim works on other phones.

The tab for service provider keeps appearing then disappearing not allowing me to open it.

I have tried every fix software related so I am wondering if it is possible to know what bit of hardware could have been affected.

This caused by a fault on a circuit on the logic board that that controls the cellular network functionality.

It will require at least microsoldering / board-level repair to get this issue fixed. You may be able to find someone in your area that may be able to iPhone board repairs for you.

Thank you, are you sure that's the only possible outcome from my description?

by

Yes, as I have fixed one with the exact same symptoms myself, the same phone had other underlying issues such as a bad charging circuit.

I got quoted $179 for them to reball the baseband (One of very few places in New Zealand to offer logic board repairs). Is it worth it to attempt it myself instead?

by

The IMEI also comes up does that still mean the Baseband IC could be an issue?

by

Reballing a baseband requires a hot air rework station, micro-soldering experience and a reball stencil for that specific chip.

If you do not remove the chip properly and clean the solder pads carefully you can cause permanent damage to the board.

Better to leave it to someone that does board-level repairs for iPhones.

If they offer a no-fix no-fee model I would go for it as if it doesn't fix the problem you don't get charged.
