iPhone 7+ CPU Shield Removal - Easy!

This is one way of removing the CPU shield from the iPhone 7+. This was meant as a joke; this is not how I typically do it. I usually use tweezers to gently peel it back, but I may keep doing it this way!
** Absolutely do not do this if you are actually trying to fix the device. This was done on a dead board and wasn’t meant as actual advice. This is not how I remove these or other shields. **

By knocking the board by table (mat) you'r applying abrupt mechanical stress to subtle components, like glass ICs & MLCCs. It's definitely not what one wanna do to the board to be diagnosed & repaired. The consequences may show up or even develop further with time. That's one of the reasons Apple goes for filling the boards with compounds, rather than leaving those open. Just google for "MLCC cracks" & also techniques to avoid those in development & rework practices. BTW, only a few people in the World among all that repair community are in the know of the matter, hence got their "know-hows" to diagnose such a damaged MLCCs, appearing just fine to conventional conductivity testing.
For now you get the dislike you desire, despite your pretty face ,)

Will the Atten ST-862D hot air station remove the Iphone CPU shield at its maximum temperature of 480 degrees celcius?
