Question 1

My iPhone is stuck on 'Searching...' or shows 'No Service'. Is it the antenna?

Accepted Answer

Usually, no. A broken antenna results in a weak signal, but the phone still tries to connect. If your iPhone shows 'Searching...' instantly after turning on (even without a SIM card), or if it stays on 'No Service' permanently, it is a Baseband (Modem) failure on the motherboard.

Question 2

How can I check if my Baseband is broken?

Accepted Answer

There is a simple test. Open the dialer and type *#06#. If the device does not display your IMEI number (or the screen does not react), it means the processor cannot communicate with the modem. This confirms a board-level hardware failure.

Question 3

Can't you just replace the modem chip?

Accepted Answer

No. The Baseband CPU is paired with your main CPU and Face ID via software. It cannot be replaced with a new one (the phone won't activate). We must repair your existing modem by re-soldering it (reballing) or fixing the power lines feeding it.

Question 4

What causes the modem to fail?

Accepted Answer

The most common cause is a hard drop. On modern iPhones (X, 11, 12, 13+), the motherboard consists of two layers soldered together. A shock can break the connection between these layers or crack the solder balls under the modem chip.

Question 5

How long does Baseband repair take?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most advanced repairs we offer. It involves separating the motherboard layers, microsoldering, and resealing. To ensure a stable signal, the process typically takes 1 to 3 working days.
