Put the iPhone main board on the WL aluminum alloy pad.

Measure the ground resistance for iPhone front camera socket J4503 by Fluke 15B+ DigitalMultimeter, the data tested is normal. And then measure the iPhone front camera power supply, the data tested also is normal. However, when we measure the I2C bus, we find the voltage for I2C_NH_SCL_CONN only have 0.62V, which is abnormal.

After check the iPhone 7 Plus schematic diagram in the WUXINJI Dongle, we need to replace the resistor R4812.

Take an new resistor R4813, remove the old resistor R4812 from iPhone motherboard, and then install the new resistor R4813 by QUICK 861DW hot air rework station.
