Iphone 5 motherboard

If I bought iphone 5 in kuwait and my iphone motherboard can't repair in kuwait? Can apple repair it? And how much?

You can contact the AppleCare support from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and see where the iPhone can be repaired...but warranties cannot be transfered to another country so service has to be arranged in the country of purchase.

IPhone motherboard blew up, is user data still accessible?

Motherboard on my iPhone 4 blew up due to a faulty charger, thought of selling it on eBay for spares but if the new buyer can repair it will my information still be on the phone? I'm assuming not but just as a precaution

So, my question is, if you wipe your iPhone by resetting it factory settings, could someone still access the "old" data that was on the phone before it was wiped and that hasn't overwritten by new data?
It's theoretically possible that, with enough time, enough money and good enough forensic software, someone might be able to restore some of the data. Do you think that it is likely that someone would be willing to do that to get your data?

HT201401 My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I have to restart it. Then it shows low battery sign (even though it was 100%). Within 1 minute of charging, iphone starts. Pl. resolve.

My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I'll have to do a restart. It dumps to the warning screen that there's no power and needs to be plugged in.
Once I connect the phone to a power source, in a couple of minutes it's ready to roll again, and displaying a "full battery" icon.
The phone is almost always fully charged when this happens, and I don't get a crash when the phone is plugged into a power source.
Took my iphone to apple store, they informed that battery is very good and there is no need for replacement. Might be there is a problem with iphone motherboard. But they can't repair it as my 3GS crossed warranty.
Where should I go to repair this. Within 2 years...this 32GB 3GS is almost garbage for me with no support from apple. I am ready to send it to apple for repairs and pay the repair charges.
I tried everything... deep reset ... factory settings .... nothing is working... Apple staff pl. take care of your customers ...

Is there any hope for my iPhone 4? - Please help!

Okay long story short, I was at work listening to music and dropped my phone in a sink full of water, but pulled it out within a fraction of a second. I noticed right away the music stopped playing, and the light on the back flashed on. after a few minutes of drying it and shaking it, I tried turning it on, the apple logo flashed on and off a few times but then it just stopped and wouldn't turn on. So when I got home I put it in a tupperwear container full of rice, and left it overnight. in the morning I checked it and it still wouldn't turn on... so after work today (I put in new rice and left it) I took it out, and plugged it into the wall charger adapter I have, and bingo, it turned on! Well... sort of... the battery % is normal, although it can't find it's 3G signal, or my house's wifi. it says to connect to iTunes, and when I try to unlock it takes me to the emergency call feature. there's also a small icon of an 'i' in a circle, when i tap it it says "CCID unknown" or something like that. so I took it off the wall charger and it died instantly, even though the battery was nearly full. it wouldn't turn on now, so I plugged it into my computer, and it still wouldnt turn on, so I tried the wall charger and it worked, but with the same problem as before. I've tried different computers, and outputs and it seems it only works when I use the wall charger adapter, my computer just won't recognize it anymore. I'm thinking there's a problem with the battery, hopefully just some moisture that can be taken out with more rice and waiting... When it goes to the emergency call, and has the number pad, in the background it shows my old picture that I took that was set to be the lock screen picture, so I think that the SD card or whatever the iPhone uses is fine, it's just the battery. Will I have to get it replaced, and if I do, I'm on a 3 year contract and I'm only in about 1 year, will I have to pay the flat $900 to get the new phone without a contract again, or could they replace it with a refurbished one for $159 like the first one? - and if so, could I actually swap it for the white iPhone? I just don't want to leave it in rice for 2 weeks to find that nothing has changed, the suspense is killing me! haha, thanks so much for reading please, leave any ideas on what to do... also one more thing..
-I live in Canada, and there aren't any Apple stores near me, I'm actually not even sure if they have them in Canada, but I was wanting to get a macbook, would I have to order it online, or could I get it at a store where other Apple products are stored, such as the Source or Future Shop? Thanks again!

Ok, what you have here is a basic 'blown fuse' problem.
With the iPhone 3G and 3GS if you drop them in water and they stop working you can almost always revive the phone simply by oepning them up, finding the corrosion on the motherboard then cleaning it and putting it back together.
With the iPhone 4 (and 4S) it's a different story though in that water damage causes a fuse on the motherboard to blow. Once blown, the phones can no longer receive power from the battery. They can however receive power from a wall charger, which is why your phone runs whilst plugged into a charger but dies as soon as it's disconnected. Trying to run it from a USB port wont work either as the 5V power supply gets interupted whilst the phone is booting, as such it dies part way through booting, and the cycle repeats.
At this stage you have 3 options:
-have the phone replaced by Apple, or
-replace the damaged fuse on the iPhone motherboard yourself, or
-send the phone to a company to have the fuse repaired
There is a company that sells the replacement components, and they have an installation sevice too. I've fixed a couple of iPhones in my day, and unless you are very proficent with a soldering iron I strongly recommend having the repair done for you.
See the link below:

Sorry it's not good news, but at least you know what's going on with the phone now and can weigh up your options.

IOS 4.2 - WiFi finally working again ... and then not :(

There's many reports of users losing WiFi with iOS 4, including me
My perception is that things went wrong with iOS 4 after Apple `fixed` the +signal-strength bug+ for iPhone4 in +iOS 4.1+ ... that's when WiFi-trouble began for me anyways.
I had almost given up on WiFi for my iPhone (d* Apple), until ... this morning I installed +iOS 4.2+ and found WiFi +temporarilly working again+ ... with some trouble.
- All surrounding networks were instantly found when WiFi was enabled again on my phone
- Logging in failed two times, but 3 was my lucky number
- Internet over WiFi: no problem
- An hour later, when I had left home and came to work, al was as it was before; no WiFi-networks to be found
- Back at home in the evening; same thing ... back to bottoms; no WiFi
It beats me why I had this shortlived pleasure of WiFi, and why it was taken from me again.
+Anybody else had this, or has ideas?+
Besides that disappointment, my *battery had completely emptied* in eight hours time without me actively using it (3G on, no phone-calls made, no roaming) like it has done since iOS 4.1 when WiFi was enabled, but unable to find any networks (and trying... and trying...). It must cost a lot of battery (processor?) to find WiFi networks. Maybe the quality of my battery influences all this? (1,5 years old...).
Also *problematic signal* from my provider (T-Mobile - NL) makes my phone switch constantly between 2g an 3g.
I'm somewhat suspecting this issue is overall due to combinations of four:
+poor battery+,
+poor processor strength+,
+poor signal+, and
+poor software+.
Does this ring bells with anyone?

I don't know what precisely causes losing WiFi. Many people have this with different symptoms and some with different solutions. So the cause can hardly be unique for all of them. Some descriptions of what people have reported:
- not finding networks at all (like I have)
- finding networks, but being unable to login at all
- finding networks, and being able to login after repeatedly trying
- being connected, but not having the WiFi-icon
- being connected with icon, but still having Internet over 3G
- being connected with icon, but losing WiFi after some time again (like I had after upgrading iOS 4.1 to 4.2)
- and maybe I forgot some...
Some solve it by changing their router-settings (b/g/n/a, MTU, CTR/RTS, WEP/WPA(2)/none, ...), some just restart the router, others go back to iOS 3 and have success and the +daring few+ re-flow their iPhone-motherboard by baking it in the oven (that's the only one I haven't tried ).
But most people just stay stuck without WiFi since iOS4.
The various success-stories indicate that the cause of this problem cannot be due to some single failure; IMO it must be a combination of unpleasantries that started with something bad in iOS 4 with some other circumstance(s) adding up to a phone not being able to WiFi.
What all of us have in common is that it worked without a problem on an iPhone 3G/3Gs untill iOS 4 was fixed for the iPhone 4. At least I haven't found reports of WiFi-problems with betas and the initial release of iOS4.
Just my 10 cents, but join in with our 10 cents we might figure out what actually happened here.

Then you should have done your homework. It clearly states in the warranty at:

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

Is it possible to retrieve photos/video from a smashed iphone, with only the motherboard intact?

My iphone 5 was smashed today, basically to smitherines. The hard drive/motherboard is still intact though. Is it possible to take this to apple and have them hook it up somehow and have them put my photos on a CD or something? if apple doesn't offer this, would a cell phone repair shop or computer repair shop possibly be able to do this?? I have extremely important photos and video on there, and I'd like to get them if possibe..
Answers appreciated, I'm in such distress right now.

Hi Elitegate,
Do you know of any 3rd party programs to get the info off the hardrive of the phone. Basically, i have smashed the phone as well but the screen is broken, the phone is on and i can hear all of my calls/ txts etc come through only thing is i can see and use the touch screen. So i have taken this to apple and they said even through the phone is still on they cant retrieve the photos.
Now when i plug the phone into itunes i cant do a back up because i cant put my passcode in and when i plug the phone into the pc it recognises it as a USB device and it shows that i have used 14 GB of my phone memory but when i click into the folder there is nothing there so i cant iomport thephots etc
I them went online and had a chat conversation with a bguy at apple and he directed my here as he sadi that he has used a file that can retrieve the files but obviously could say what it was because he worked for apple.
Any heklp would be greatly appreciated as there are 2,500 phots including my engagment
Thanks
Greg

ITunes cannot recognize iPhone/iPad via WiFi Sync following motherboard change

Hi folks,
I'm having a problem with synchronising my iPhone (and iPad) to iTunes on Windows 7 Home Premium via WiFi sync.
This never used to be a problem - both devices would be identified by iTunes (occasionally this was sporadic, however a simple WiFi off/on would usually solve the problem).
I have recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU in my Windows 7 PC and after updating some drivers, etc. all of a sudden, I cannot connect to WiFi Sync anymore. I can still synchronise my devices via the cable - i.e. the devices are correctly identified by the PC, but for some reason post the motherboard change, as soon as I pull the plug out of the device, the device disappears from iTunes.
I can confirm that the "Synchronise this device via WiFi sync" tick boxes are checked, and the Machine Name is the same, so my iPhone is still looking for the same PC.
I'm wondering if because of the motherboard change, there is an internal signature that the iPhone/iPad looks for that is no longer the same.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing iTunes to no avail. I cannot seem to find any solution to this problem - no matter what I do, iTunes will simply not recognise my devices over WiFi anymore.
Welcome any advice or thoughts.
System details:
- Intel i7 2700K (Upgraded from Intel i3 550)
- ASUS P8Z68-M Pro (Upgraded from an ASUS P7H55-M/USB3
- iPhone 4S
- iPad 2
- Windows 7 Home Premium
Cheers,
Mike.

Folks,
I thought I should post a follow up - in case any Apple Support people scour these forums.
The problem seems to have resolved by itself, which is both a good and bad thing.
I made absolutely no changes last night, not even a system reboot, to launch iTunes today and the system miraculously discover both my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2. I think this highlights a broader problem is that the WiFi sync capability is inconsistent and very difficult to troubleshoot. I have no idea why it has all of a sudden started working, especially when I have changed no wireless, networking, firewall or Anti Virus settings.
Anyway thank you to those who had a read, and I wish I could provide more insight on why it has started working all of a sudden, and importantly, what caused it to stop working.
Perhaps it is simply like two people - the new PC and its motherboard needed to 'get to know' the devices before it felt comfortable in allowing a connection .
I have no other more rational explanation!
Cheers all,
Mike.

I have iphone 4s from sprint and its motherboard is damaged so please provide me what to do it is not in warranty and i am in India now.thanks in advance.

I have iphone 4s from sprint and its motherboard is damaged so please provide me what to do it is not in warranty and i am in India now.thanks in advance.

No, the logic board needs to be replaced. But, here's your ptoblem: No authorized service center, In India, will touch a US iPhone. Thus, your only option is a third-party repair shop. But, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, many on the market are counterfeit. In other words, if you go to a third-party repair shop, you take your chances as to what you end up with.
If you can't send the phone to someone in the US, that can go to an Apple store for you, & do an out of warranty exchange...cost is US $199...then sell the phone for parts or go to a third-party repair shop & hope you don't end up worse than you are now.
Those are your options.
Good luck.

Broken motherboard iPhone 5?

My iPhone 5 went completely black for no reason which could be related to a mechanical, water damage or mishandling. I tried to reset the phone (holding the sleep/wake and home buttons) - it didn't work, then connect it to the iTunes (again, the phone was not recognised, but - in my opinion - it was heated more than usually).
Anyway, I took the phone to the seller (mobile provider), then it was sent to the service provider (i believe it is not an AASP). They gave a 'proffesional' opinion, that the motherboard is broken. Can anyone give me any information, how the testing (diagnostic) is done at the service provider to conclude, that the motherboard is broken. And furthermore, what are the possible reasons for the motherboard to be broken after 14 months from the purchase date (yes, unfortunately, my phone is out of warranty)? Are the broken motherboards common for iPhone 5? For me, it is really strange, because before that i haven't experienced any problem with my phone.
Thanks for any opinion, suggestion and help.

If you live in the UK, we have the Sale of Goods Act. This legislation is there to protect the consumer. The warranty is a little bonus...an added extra. Even if apple didn't provide a warranty, it is still reasonable to expect that your phone is fit for purpose and is durable. Is it reasonable to expect the duration of a phone that is worth hundreds of pounds to last 14 months? I would argue that it is not and if you raised a Small Claims Action through the courts, this could be argued. The Sale of Goods Act is law and it takes precedence over any warranty. As a consumer you have rights. If you purchased directly from Apple, the contract is with them. If you purchased from amazon or a communications company, your contract is with them, (even if they try to fob you off with the Apple Warranty line).
The Sale of Goods act has no bearing if the device has been opened by an unauthorized service technician.

What to do following PC motherboard crash before syncing iPhone?

Situation:
PC + iPhone 4 synched using iTunes. Synch was relatively current before crash, but not completely up to date. Most importantly, some new and revised contacts.
iPhone 4 also synched with iCloud. However, my contacts are _not_ backed up on iCloud due to the duplicate contact creation problem. (Mail and Notes are also not synced but they are all OK on the iPhone so not an issue.)
PC motherboard crashed but hard drive not damaged. Virtually all files were fully backed up and I have secured a complete recovery of all c:\user files as well as all c:\program data files. (Other files are obtainable with additional work.)
iPhone contained some but not all iTunes music files (wouldn't all fit - always used manually designated content), so couldn't be used for a complete restore. Instead, I restored all the iTunes music and podcast files (that's all I really have) by importing the files from external drive to new PC using "copy" mode so all files were copied onto the PC. After some cleanup, iTunes music and podcast files appear to be OK.
I restored all contacts from external drive to new PC. New PC is Windows 7 Home Premium whereas old PC was Vista Home Premium, but contacts seem to be OK. Some additional contacts are on the iPhone and some were changed. I would like to recover those, however there is no great loss there if I can't.
There are photos and videos taken on iPhone but they are all still there on the iPhone. All prior photos and videos were put into my PC collection and I wiil recover those separately.
I have set iTunes Preferences to prevent iPhone from syncing automatically, so I can control it when I connect again.
Questions:
1) What else if anything do I need to do before syncing my iPhone to iTunes again?
2) When I re-sync to iTunes, will the PC contacts or the iPhone contacts control, or will they be nicely updated to whatever is the most current?
3) Will everything be OK with music and podcasts? (I think so.)
4) Should I do anything with the iCloud backup or just let it continue to backup in the normal manner? (I think the later.)
Thank you!!

See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3763. Also, if you can't turn it on and you don't have a backup there's no way to save your data. You can do a reset without losing data. With it plugged into the charger, hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release.

You can purchase a replacement at full retail price. Apple will not touch that device nor are they likely to offer an Out of Warranty replacement.

Apple Iphone 5 Motherboard needed !!

from where i can buy new motherboard for my Iphone 5 ?

Technically, you can't as Apple doesn't sell parts.
You may be able to bring the phone in and purchase an Out of Warranty replacement for US $269+ tax (I'm assuming you did not purchase AppleCare+).
Otherwise, checking elsewhere, such as ifixit.com may be worth doing.
