Step 1

Using diode mode of the multi meter to measure diode values of pin 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, and 16 on J8000 and observe whether there is an open circuits in the circuits of the two pins after remove the screen and disconnect the battery.

Step 4

Remove the High-temperature Tape, measure whether the diode values of pin 24 and 18 return to normal with DT-17N digital multimeter.

Step 5

The measured value is normal. The phone can be turned on and its display is working properly. So far, iPhone 11 black screen issue has been repaired successfully.

Tips:

1. It's recommended to set up a Hot Air Gun to disassemble the resistor at 360°C and an air flow of 40.

2. It's recommended that the resistor be removed with Hot Air Gun at 360 °C and airflow 40.

3. It's recommended to keep the hot air gun at 380℃, and the airflow 60 for soldering the inductors.
