What is an audio IC iPhone?
This is a chip whose main function is to receive audio signals coming from the microphone and send audio signals to the speakers.
Are you experiencing static sounds on your earpiece, are you unable to access your voice recording app or is your cell phone stuck at the Apple logo when booting? If this is true about your gadget, then you might be having a deficient sound IC chip. Bring your faulty cell phone to our Midwood store and we'll test the chip and tell you what the repair costs.
If only one part is quiet, the cause may be the part itself rather than the chip: see iPhone speaker repair and iPhone microphone repair.
Repairs come with a 30-day limited warranty.

The first thing we determine when you come for repair is to ascertain whether the chip is faulty. We'll then carefully heat the unit and remove it.
After the removal of the component, we do a thorough cleaning of the nodes. Finally, the connection points are tested. Sometimes circuits like those of jumpers may be damaged. This will be carefully soldered and tested.
The chip is also skillfully cleaned and refitted to the board. If the component is severely damaged we'll do swapping. The phone is then reassembled and tested for all sound functionality.
