WORKSHOP CASE · CHARGING

iPhone 15 Pro Max stuck at 1%: inside the board repair.

This iPhone 15 Pro Max showed a charging problem: its battery percentage would not rise. Our workshop footage follows the checks and work on the charging circuitry inside.

FROM THE WORKSHOP FOOTAGE

What this repair record shows

The footage shows work on the separated logic board and a later charging-meter reading. The accompanying workshop description identifies charging-IC replacement and board reballing.

Scope of the record

The edited reel is not a complete test report. A momentary input-power reading does not establish battery capacity, full function or long-term reliability.

The reported symptom: a percentage that stayed at 1%

The workshop description records the phone as stuck at 1%. That complaint can easily sound like a battery-only problem. It is more useful to establish whether the phone detects the cable, draws input power, stores charge and remains running after unplugging. Those observations describe different parts of the charging process.

The recorded work went beyond the socket

The accompanying repair description records board separation, charging-IC replacement and reballing. The frame above shows the exposed work area under magnification. It illustrates the scale of the board work; it should not be used to identify a failed component on another phone without testing.

What the charging reading establishes

A later frame shows approximately 19.8 watts at the input during that recorded test. It is a single observation with that setup, not a target for every 15 Pro Max. Input power varies with battery state, equipment and device activity. The reel does not provide a complete battery-capacity or reliability test, so those results should not be inferred from it.

How this helps with your own charging complaint

Describe whether the percentage is stuck, the phone switches off after unplugging, or charging drops when the cable moves. Include previous battery or port work. Fixaviour's assessment checks the actual device before proposing a connection, battery or board repair, with written findings and a quote before you decide.
