00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:03,666

In this lesson we are going to learn about the flash chip

2

00:00:04,833 --> 00:00:05,966

In the Apple mainboard,

3

00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:10,800

the flash chip is mainly responsible for providing working voltage for the flash

4

00:00:12,766 --> 00:00:16,133

A flash is the light we use to take pictures at night,

5

00:00:16,833 --> 00:00:19,700

or a flashlight that is turned on at night

6

00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,466

The flash chip boosts the battery's power supply to about 5V

7

00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:26,566

and supplies power to the flash

8

00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,700

If the flash is damaged, the flashlight function will not work

9

00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:36,533

and the flash will not illuminate when taking pictures

10

00:00:38,233 --> 00:00:42,466

Serious damage can also lead to the failure of the photo function

11

00:00:43,166 --> 00:00:44,733

When replace the flash chip,

12

00:00:45,233 --> 00:00:47,133

we need the same model to replace it

13

00:00:47,566 --> 00:00:49,866

Most mainboard have only one flash chip,

14

00:00:50,033 --> 00:00:51,700

but some models have two

15

00:00:56,566 --> 00:00:59,933

The iPhone 7 to XR models, for example,

16

00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:01,466

have two flash chips,

17

00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:03,633

most others have one

18

00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:08,933

Let's take a look at the flash chip in real life

19

00:01:11,633 --> 00:01:13,833

This is the iPhone 6s mainboard,

20

00:01:14,266 --> 00:01:17,566

and its flash chip sits directly above the CPU

21

00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,133

This black one is the 6s flash chip

22

00:01:22,433 --> 00:01:24,700

The mainboard is an iPhone 8 mainboard,

23

00:01:24,866 --> 00:01:28,066

and it has two flash chips on top of the mainboard

24

00:01:29,966 --> 00:01:33,933

Inside this long chip, there are two chips packaged together

25

00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,200

This mainboard is a XR mainboard, and it also has two flash chips

26

00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,233

The XR flash chip is in this position,

27

00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:45,233

one, and two

28

00:01:46,033 --> 00:01:49,366

Its flash chip is separate, not packaged together

29

00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,233

This mainboard is the iPhone 11 mainboard,

30

00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,866

and its flash chip is in the lower layer

31

00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,766

The iPhone 11 has only one flash chip

32

00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,133

This chip is the flash chip in the iPhone 11

33

00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:05,233

So that's all for this lesson
