Details

When an iPhone 16 stops charging or won't connect to a computer, and the port and cable both test fine, the fault can be the USB chip on the board. This listing sells that chip, part number SN2012027-A12.

It sits at board position U9500 and has 121 pins, according to the listing. It's for the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. The listing says it's ready to use, with no programming needed. It's packed in an anti-static bag and doesn't state where the chip comes from.

Faults it can fix

  • No charging, even with a good port and cable.

  • No USB data connection to a computer.

  • Unstable charging that keeps cutting in and out.

  • Damage from a short or a faulty charger.

Fitting notes

Diagnose first: check the port, the flex cable and the voltage readings on the charging line. Replacing the chip is BGA work that needs a hot air station, a preheater and the right stencil.

Clean the pads flat before fitting and use the right amount of flux. Afterwards, test charging with a USB meter and check that data connects to a computer.
