I've come across an issue that I cannot troubleshoot, I have 3 iPhone 6's (not 6S) that don't seem to power on & I can't figure out if its a software issue or hardware. My computer isn't even detecting the devices. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Is this a good question?

All sound like board level issues, mainly they are caused by Tristar (Charging IC), shorted caps near the CPU and etc.
Was this answer helpful?
You think all 3 of the phones have the exact same problem? Is this common? What would cause this issue?
Bad charging IC is caused by using cheap quality charging cables, wall chargers and especially car chargers.
Shorted Caps near CPU is a bit of a mystery. But both the issues can also be caused by liquid damage around those areas.
There's also this one SMD component right next to the wifi chipset at the edge of the board that is always prone to liquid damage luckily that can be removed without any negative effect on the phone.
Is their anyway to troubleshoot what the problem is exactly?

Is there anyway to find out what exactly is happening? Is their a tool I can use to see if it’s been shorted? I just find it hard to believe 3 phones are having the same exact problem.
