Motherboard Repair · what it looks like on Older iPhones
  • iPhone won't turn on after a drop, fall, or impact — and a battery swap doesn't help.
  • Stuck on Apple logo / boot loop after iOS update or post-water exposure.
  • Recovery Mode loops endlessly — DFU restore via iTunes / Finder fails with errors 9, 4013, 4014.
  • Charges but doesn't turn on — Tristar / power management IC failure.
  • Cellular completely dead, no signal anywhere — baseband IC failure.
By Older iPhones variant

Motherboard Repair differences by variant.

  • iPhone X / XS / XS Max
    Bezel-less OLED + Face ID. First-gen Face ID flex is more exposed than later generations — drop damage often needs Face ID component-level repair at Kepong HQ.
  • iPhone XR
    Bezel-less LCD + Face ID. Single rear camera — different parts tier from XS.
  • iPhone 8 / 8 Plus
    Home-button + Touch ID; LCD. Last home-button generation with wireless charging.
  • iPhone 7 / 6s
    Still serviceable but parts increasingly on order at smaller branches; Kepong HQ keeps the deepest stock.
What we check first on your Older iPhones
  • Free counter-level check first: try a different battery, different charger, software-only DFU restore — rules out the easy stuff.
  • Visual under microscope: corrosion, burn marks, hot ICs, missing components from the board surface.
  • Power-rail diagnostic: measure each power rail with a multimeter — narrows to specific IC failure.
  • Identify which subsystem failed (no-boot, no-charge, no-signal, no-Face-ID) — different repair paths.
How Older iPhones motherboard repair actually goes

Workshop-level only (Kepong HQ): every motherboard repair runs at our Kepong flagship workshop where we have hot-air rework stations, IR preheaters, microscopes, and the chip stock for component-level work. Standard faults we recover: Tristar / Hydra power IC reflow or replacement (no-charge faults), Audio IC reflow (microphone or speaker IC failure), Touch IC reflow (greyed-out touch), face-ID coprocessor work (Face ID dead), NAND data recovery (storage failure). Turnaround is 24–48 hours for most cases; some severe water-damage boards take 3–5 days. Not recoverable: extensive multi-IC water-damage boards, boards with burned PCB traces from short-circuit, or boards with damaged BGAs that cannot be reballed cleanly. We always tell you the realistic recovery odds during the free diagnosis before charging anything — and we offer data recovery onto a donor logic board when full repair is not viable.

  • Exact iPhone model and the specific symptom (no-boot, boot loop, charges but won't turn on, no signal, etc.).
  • Recent history: drop, water exposure, iOS update, third-party repair, or sudden failure on its own.
  • Whether you've already tried a DFU restore or different battery.
  • Whether you need data recovery from the device.

Brought in my iPhone 13 after it took a swim in the pool. Two other shops said replace the phone. SPR Kepong ultrasonic-cleaned the board overnight and it's been working perfectly — that was six months ago.

Samsung S23 had the dreaded green line. Three shops said the whole OLED panel needed replacing. SPR Uptown did the green-line correction in 90 minutes. Warranty honoured, no pressure sell on extras.

SEC-08 / SUPPORT · Questions

Before you walk in.

Common questions. For unlisted cases, contact SPR support directly via WhatsApp.

Q.01Where can I get Older iPhones motherboard repair near me in KL or Selangor?[+]
└─ SPR has 16 walk-in branches across KL and Selangor — Kepong, Uptown Damansara, Puchong Kenari, Sri Petaling, Taman Segar, Setapak, Mahkota Cheras, Pandan Indah, Ampang, Mid Valley, IOI City Mall, Sungai Wang, Maluri, Equine Park, Taipan USJ, and Kuchai Lama. No appointment needed. WhatsApp us a photo of your Older iPhones first to confirm which branch has parts in stock for motherboard repair.
Q.02How long does Older iPhones motherboard repair take?[+]
└─ 24 hr at most SPR branches for Older iPhones. Walk in without an appointment, or WhatsApp us first to confirm parts at the location nearest you. All Older iPhones variants are covered: iPhone X · XS · XR · 8 · 7 · 6s.
Q.03What does Older iPhones motherboard repair cost in Malaysia?[+]
└─ We don't post fixed prices because cost depends on which Older iPhones variant (iPhone X · XS · XR · 8 · 7 · 6s), the parts tier you choose, and whether any secondary damage is involved. WhatsApp us a clear photo of the issue and the exact model — we send a free quote within minutes. No charge for walk-in diagnosis.
Q.04What warranty does SPR give on Older iPhones motherboard repair?[+]
└─ Every Older iPhones repair includes a 6-month warranty on parts and labour, honoured at all 16 branches across KL and Selangor. Bring the device to any SPR location for warranty work. Motherboard and water-damage repairs carry shorter warranties due to the unpredictable progression of underlying damage — we explain the terms before any work starts.
Q.05What's the recovery rate on iPhone motherboard repair?[+]
└─ Depends entirely on the specific fault. Tristar / charge-IC reflow has a high recovery rate. Multi-IC water-damage boards are much lower. We don't quote a fixed percentage because every board is different — free diagnosis at any branch (we route the board to Kepong HQ for assessment) gives you the realistic odds before any charge.
Q.06Do you recover data from a dead iPhone?[+]
└─ Often yes. Even when the iPhone itself is unrecoverable for daily use, board-level data recovery can lift the storage chip onto a working donor logic board to extract photos, messages, and contacts. Free assessment first; we tell you what's likely possible before any work.
Q.07Why does iPhone motherboard repair take 24 hours minimum?[+]
└─ Diagnosis at the chip level (microscope inspection, power-rail testing, IC isolation) takes hours. Reflow and component-level repair runs in batches with proper IR preheating to avoid damaging neighbouring ICs. Rushing this work damages the board further. We give an honest turnaround estimate per case; some severe water-damage boards take 3–5 days.
Q.08Do you still stock parts for iPhone X / XR / XS?[+]
└─ Yes — at Kepong HQ and selected branches. Smaller branches may need 1–3 days lead time. WhatsApp us your model and we confirm stock at the branch nearest you before you travel.
Q.09iPhone 7 / 6s — still worth repairing in 2026?[+]
└─ Battery and charging-port repair: usually yes if everything else works. Multi-fault repairs (e.g., screen + battery + Face ID) on 6s or 7 in 2026 are usually not cost-effective vs upgrading to a refurb iPhone 11 or SE 3rd gen — we give you the honest comparison free during the diagnosis.
Q.10iPhone X Face ID broken after a drop — fixable?[+]
└─ Face ID flex on X / XS / XR is repairable but moves to component-level work at Kepong HQ. Free diagnosis tells you whether it's the dot projector, the IR camera, or the flex itself; some severe drop damage on the projector is non-recoverable, and we tell you that before charging anything.
