iPhone 7 Boot Loop Repair – Fixfactor London
iPhone 7 (A1660) stuck in a boot loop, keeps restarting, or takes forever to boot? This is a well-known issue caused by the Audio IC chip losing connection with the logic board. Fixfactor in London repairs this using micro-soldering.

What Causes iPhone 7 Boot Loop?
Apple’s iPhone 7 and 7 Plus have a known design issue. The Audio IC chip can lose connection with the logic board over time – one of its many pads comes loose, confusing the phone’s boot process. Symptoms include:
- Phone stuck in boot loop (Apple logo appears, restarts, repeats)
- Very slow boot times
- Random restarts during use
- Greyed out speaker icon during calls
- Voice memos not working
- Microphone or speaker issues alongside boot problems
How We Fix It:
- Disassemble your iPhone 7 and inspect the logic board
- Check for water damage or other issues
- Remove the Audio IC chip using hot air station
- Clean and inspect the pads underneath
- Rebuild damaged pad connections
- Install new Audio IC chip
- Test boot and audio functionality

The Audio IC Challenge: The chip has dozens of tiny pads connecting to the board. We use hot air and flux to remove it, clean everything under microscope, check continuity of each connection, and rebuild any damage before installing the new chip.

Repair Time: Most repairs completed within 1-3 days. This is precision work that can’t be rushed. If your phone cannot be repaired, you only pay £25 diagnostic fee.
Important – Repair Risk: Micro-soldering involves high heat near sensitive components. Your iPhone may develop other issues during repair, or may not turn on afterward. We cannot take responsibility if this happens – please only book if you accept this risk.
Why Fixfactor? Most repair shops can’t fix this – it requires micro-soldering expertise and specialised equipment. Our technicians have years of experience with iPhone 7 Audio IC repairs. You only pay for successful repair.
