Missing capacitor, is this important?

Hello guys, can somebody tell me if this capacitor can cause a lot of trouble if its missing?

(i have an iphone 6s that has cameras not working, new battery keeps discharging fast, no sound(missing volume bar) and no service.)

X662, above the power button connector

This is C55132_RF. May techs don’t replace missing capacitors and when they are used for decoupling power lines, you can usually get away with it.

However this capacitor is a 0.2pF | +/- 0.05pF capacitor which means that it was specifically calculated to balance the antenna line that is connected to it. This is on the 5Ghz WiFi line and I would replace it to insure that WiFi works as intended.

this won’t have any effect on the other problems you have though. However, if this component is missing, it may be indicative of other “technician or DIY fixer” induced damaged elsewhere on the board.

I’d suggest posting a real picture of the area with missing capacitor, the one you added is incomplete as it misses the component reference..a capacitor should be marked on a boardview as C…. and not X… A C662 capacitor doesn’t exist on schematics either.
