    Just use an extra charging cable, tear/cut shield off the usb end to expose the 4 connection points. Use the two outer points to connect your leads to. This way you can test the battery under load, and without opening up your phone.

    Thank you for this. Two more questions for you.
    1. My battery registers 2.8 (the battery is rated at 3.85). In my experience that still means not good. True?
    2. I tested the battery charger leads in the battery bay while the phone was plugged in to the wall. It registered 0.01 to 0.03. The phone is still good? (at least the charging leads)

    YOU are my kind of technician! Everything I search online about an iPhone not turning on returns stupid results like "Did you try turning it on?!" You get to the technical side! My iPhone got wet a few months back, and the battery died. I just measured it and confirmed the battery was dead, and the phone could still be alive.

      if the board is ruined you will have to either fix the board or replace it.
      try to clean it and use a new battery and see if that works

    Do you have any videos on how to check a water damaged iphone's logic board with the multimeter for faulty parts?

  • @SirArngrim
    @SirArngrim 7 лет назад

    Thanks for for the video. Is 3.46V enough to power an Iphone 6 motherboard ? (Since it should deliver around 3.82V)
    I'm trying to figure out if my motherboard is fried or if the battery do not deliver enough voltage.

    • @gabakusa
      @gabakusa  7 лет назад

      charge the battery in other phone 100% then plug it in, in the bad phone and take your conclusions.
      search for water damage or some other issue

    • @SirArngrim
      @SirArngrim 7 лет назад

      I guess it's the motherboard. The battery was new. I also checked the voltage from the FPC connector while putting the lightning cable and it delivered the right tension which means, I guess, the battery still charge but the phone don't boot.
      Anyway many thanks for taking the time to answer my questions ! :-)

    My iphone 6 battery measured 4.28V both plugged in & unplugged. The phone was dead black so I wonder whether the battery is the problem or something else. I couldn't find any info at all about over voltage battery. Your experience?

    • @gabakusa
      @gabakusa  7 лет назад

      you should have the voltage that you read in your battery.
      if you have a lot more, it can fry the card or if you can too little it won't turn on at all.
      i don't know your situation, but it could be that the motherboard is dead. (you can try to repair it if you follow some schematic)

    hey. I measured my phone battery and it reads 3.6V. When I connect the phone its in the DFU mode and reboots automatically after 5-10 minutes. When I restore the iphone it gives me a 4013 error.
    I did disconnect the camera flex cable and disconnected the display and tried but the phone reboots during the update and gives me the 4013 error. Some people say I need to reball the NAND chip which I not done yet.
    Do you think 3.6V is good enough? Does it sound like a battery issue to you?

    • @gabakusa
      @gabakusa  7 лет назад

      3.6 should be enough, you can buy like this amzn.to/2qUcz1v so you use the voltage you need without worrying about the battery

    I'm trying to get a Mitsubishi g 310 cell phone re-serviced; it's REALLY hard, it seems to get replacement parts. I've had to resort to taking my old phone to a service center. I don't even want to think how expensive 1 trip will be. A replacement battery, alone retails for $20. And the plug port, to plug in the wall adaptor? It's broken. A cheap $0.25 part killed my phone!

    • @gabakusa
      @gabakusa  7 лет назад

      too see if it is dead or not.
      meaning if it has charge

    • @stefanniedzielah1827
      @stefanniedzielah1827 7 лет назад +3

      Battery can have voltage, and still be useless. If it is discharged it will have large internal resistance. You hook up to the voltometer which takes almost zero current, no problem where. However, if you try to hook it up to the phone, it may still not work, because phone is much much bigger load than voltometer.

    Be aware: If you measure on the contact points on the flexwirem you will only get a reading, if the battery protection circuit is still allowing current to flow. I came across a damaged phone (water spill) which I have cleaned and repaired. It did turn out that the battery protection circuit has cut off the battery due to excessive drain when the shortcut due to the spill happened. Thus the battery was in a deepleted state (2.5V cell voltage) but not yet damaged (

    Do I need to replace it ?

    • @robnulty9462
      @robnulty9462 4 года назад

      That means that your battery is gone (it's just showing a static voltage which gives no power) volts is the reading amps is the power. Your battery hasn't the amps left in it basically.

    what is the aim of this video? when the battery is discharged, the multimeter marks 0V and when it 3.8V that means its charged...then so ??? what is fact that i know that my battery is dead (then i have to replace it) or if it is simply just discharged ?

    • @gabakusa
      @gabakusa  4 года назад

      in can be both it could be dead or that I need to be charged, but if the battery has been with zero charge for long period of time it is a dead battery, that is why when you buy new batteries they are about %70

    @geoffreymichel-david5500 6 лет назад +4

    This video really doesn't tell anything correct and precise, you can't say that the battery is good because multimeter shows 3,86v! You published only part of information, which is not sufficient to conclude anything about the health of a battery! Of course the only right thing is that with 0v you can conclude that the battery is dead, if the connection is ok but again you didn't talk about that.

  • @Bodragon

    At 0:17 you say "intherior" (rhymes with inferior) when what I think you meant to say was: "in theory".
    My question is: Do you review your videos before posting them to RUclips?
    Any advice will be well received since I am starting my own RUclips channel and I want to get it right, right from the beginning.

    @persianchris2451 4 года назад

    Dude, appreciate the overview but you spent about 30-40% of the video to talk tangents instead of getting to the point. In my opinion, begin with a quick quick overview maybe 10 seconds long like "I'm going to show you how to measure voltage from your phones battery using a multimeter".... and then right away show the tutorial. Afterwards, you could use "examples" and other tangents (like when you referred to the suction cups, etc). That way you give people the option of sitting through the video or liking and moving on instead of forcing people to sit through 4 minutes and 45 seconds before you get to the tutorial for a video that is 7 minutes long.

  • @michaelmitchell8218
    @michaelmitchell8218 6 лет назад

    This video does not tell you nothing. He don’t understand how voltage and current works. You got to put a battery on load to see if it is good or bad and need to Measure voltage and current. Does not have a clue. You can have a good voltage and think it’s fine but if the current is no good then it’s not fine. They talk about voltage but it’s not voltage that drives stuff it’s current. Like I said does not have a clue at all. Maybe he should learn ohms law and voltage vs current because he knows nothing.

    • @mag62109
      @mag62109 5 лет назад

      Stfu. This is the first thing you do when checking a battery. Measure the voltage and then the curent. If the voltage shows 0 the battery is dead. If it is less than 3v the battery don't hold the charge and is better replacing it. What the fok is wrong with you all....curent....curent....curent....FIRST YOU MEASURE THE VOLTAGE. If you know better show us and stop attacking someone who actualy does something.

    (2:33) - I'm sorry but 3.82 is not the same as 3.8.
    It is different.
    3.82 is the same as 3.80. That's what I learned at school anyway.
    So if 3.8 + 3.80,
    how can 3.80 = 3.82?
    It can't.
    There is a point zero two (0.2) difference.
    My point here is that when you are teaching on RUclips, you have to allow for those who know very little.
    You have to be very careful with the language you use.
    *_I_* would have said:
    "3.8 is good enough. It is simply 3.82, which is accurate to two decimal places, rounded to one decimal place. In this case we round downwards since the second decimal place is less than five"
    Considering the length of your video, you could have easily found room to fit in this little piece of precision. Passing on knowledge is more art than science. You should remember that.

    • @mag62109
      @mag62109 5 лет назад

      You teach him! Wtf? Your point is no point! 0.2v is so important. I guess as soon as voltage drops from 3.82v to 3.80v the iphone is dead. Hmmm....good to know! Please don't start posting videos on youtube.
