iPhone 7/Plus question about dock connector

[danophone]

hey guys
i have a question about the dock connector
i got the microphone problem:
people cant hear me
i cant talk to siri
cant record voice
cant hear voice when recording videos
(7+)
i want to replace this by myself but the question is does the dock connector u buy online carry inside also the mic chipset? (u3101) which u just need to changes boards,
or carry just the usb port?

thx

The Lightning flex is just a fancy cable that includes the Lightning connector.

The audio IC (U3101) is a big chip on the logic board.

oh
yeah i saw a video about that.
they use heat to take that chip off the logic board. but i didnt get it why the coin and the yellow wrap
by any chance are u familiar with that procces?

Coin is likely to help dissipate heat and prevent overheating other components. Not sure about the yellow wrap without seeing the video.

use a wireless charger, and a blue tooth, I am sure you will be fine.

for example this video.
they use it in any video.
thx very much for replying btw man.


preston66002425:
the problem is not with the charger. its the microphone.
thats the list of the problems i got becuase of that chipset:

• Callers can't hear you
• Voice memos are greyed out
• Sound doesn't record on videos
• Siri can't hear you
• You hear static on calls
• Speakerphone doesn't work
• Phone takes a very long time to boot

It's Kapton tape - a good heat and electrical insulator. Basically protects the components during soldering from heat and static.

Is the headset mic still working?

Are u experienced with soldering ICs? If not the chance is 99% you will kill the whole board.
The next thing is where to buy the IC. Do you have a source?
Otherwise buy a broken iphone and swap the boards

JPack thank you for keep replying

bluethooth headset does work. we dont know if the usb headset work cause she lost her connector
i have some expirence with soldering ics
the problem is that the iphone is pretty much brand new. everything works just fine.
but the iphone carrier in my country over charge a huge amount of money to fix this problem. fix that chip
probably almost 50% of its value and 30% of the iphone 8 value

is there anyway buying only this board with this chip inside of it and just to swap boards?
(online of coruse)
thx for trying to help btw. u and jpack

Only used ones like on ebay if you are lucky. as Apple doesn’t sell OEM parts.

The repair cost is unfortunately normal. Apple charges out of warranty $279
