BENCH TECHNIQUE · REBALLING

Inside iPhone sandwich-board layer reballing.

This video is strongest as a workmanship record. It shows the precision involved in preparing and reballing an iPhone 15 Pro Max board layer, while the original customer symptom was not retained reliably enough to publish.

FROM THE WORKSHOP FOOTAGE

Visual description and bench findings

The footage shows heat and controlled preparation across the separated board layer, followed by an even solder-ball pattern ready for alignment and joining.

Scope of the record

Signal or Wi-Fi failure from fractured interposer joints is plausible for this kind of work, but was not retained as a confirmed fact for this board. The page therefore makes no repair-outcome claim.

Why these boards are called sandwich boards

Multiple board layers are joined through a dense field of interposer connections. Faults between those layers can require separation before the hidden connection area can be inspected or rebuilt.

Reballing recreates the joining pattern

After preparation, solder is formed into a consistent array across the layer. Alignment, heat control and surface condition all matter before the layers can be joined again.

Technique footage is not a diagnosis

The same operation may appear in repairs involving impact, intermittent communication, signal or other layer-related faults. Without the original measurements, this footage cannot establish which symptom led to the work.

Functional testing remains a separate requirement

A clean ball pattern is an intermediate workmanship result. Power, communications and the original reported functions still need to be tested after the board is reassembled.
