    iPhone 15 Pro Max Upper CNC Board — 128GB NAND Pre-Soldered CPU Baseband Swap Board

    This is a precision CNC-machined upper motherboard for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The 128GB NAND flash chip comes pre-soldered — the "with hard disk" configuration. It suits devices with a dead, shorted or water-damaged upper board. You transfer your own working A17 Pro CPU, baseband and EEPROM across. The NFC chip must also move, or the phone boot-loops. Factory-level CNC drilling gives clean, safe pad access for chip transfer. This is the Australian A3106 spec board with the international sub-6 5G layout. US A2849 boards differ — they are eSIM-only with mmWave hardware. Capacity must match — this board suits 128GB devices only. This is a micro-soldering part for trained board-level technicians. Not a complete working motherboard and not an activation-lock bypass.

    When You Need A Swap Board

    These faults point to a damaged upper board, not a screen or battery.

    Dead After Water Damage

    Corrosion shorts board layers beyond pad repair.

    No Power, No Boot

    Board draws no current or shorts on the bench.

    Repeated Restarts

    Boot loops caused by board faults, not software.

    No Service Faults

    Baseband-side damage kills mobile signal permanently.

    Not Charging

    Board-level charging faults survive port replacement.

    Bent Or Crushed Board

    Drop damage cracks traces inside the sandwich stack.

    Why CNC Pre-Drilled Before You Buy Transfer Notes Tools Needed Specifications Compatibility FAQs

    Why A CNC Pre-Drilled Board Beats Hand Grinding

    Factory machining removes the riskiest step in a board swap.

    Factory-Level Drilling

    CNC machining exposes chip pads cleanly. No hand-grinding slips, no lifted pads.

    128GB NAND Pre-Soldered

    The storage chip is already reflowed on. One less BGA transfer for your bench.

    Stable Board Traces

    Quality substrate keeps trace continuity intact. Stable connections after the swap.

    Honest Labelling

    This is a bare swap board plus NAND. It is not sold as a working motherboard.

    Confirm This Is The Right Board First

    Work through this checklist before ordering.

    • Confirm the fault is on the upper (data) board, not the lower board.
    • Check the device capacity. This board suits 128GB devices only.
    • Verify your donor chips are healthy — CPU, baseband and EEPROM must work.
    • Confirm you can transfer the NFC chip. Skipping it causes a boot loop.
    • Rule out simpler faults first: battery, charging port, screen.
    • Check the model number under Settings, General, About.
    • You must own the device or have the owner's authority to repair it.
    • Not confident with BGA work? Bring it to our Forest Lake bench instead.

    Chip Transfer Notes — Read Before Starting

    This is expert-level micro-soldering. Mistakes here are permanent.

    • Transfer the A17 Pro CPU, baseband and EEPROM from your original board.
    • Move the NFC chip too. On 15-series boards, skipping it boot-loops the phone.
    • Keep reflow temperatures controlled. Overheating kills the RAM stacked on the CPU.
    • Face ID stays paired to your original TrueDepth parts. Keep them together.
    • Capacity is fixed. The soldered 128GB NAND cannot be swapped by software.
    • Use ESD protection at every step. Grounded mat, wrist strap, anti-static handling.
    • Test on the bench before final assembly and sealing.

    Difficulty: expert. Trained board-level technicians only.

    Tools Needed

    Hot Air Rework Station

    Controlled BGA removal and reflow.

    Preheater / Reball Platform

    Even board heating prevents warping.

    Reball Stencils + Solder Balls

    CPU and baseband reballing before placement.

    Trinocular Microscope

    Pad inspection and alignment under magnification.

    Flux, Wick + Low-Melt Solder

    Clean pad prep on both boards.

    DC Power Supply + ESD Mat

    Current-draw diagnosis and static-safe handling.

    Fits / Does NOT Fit

    Fits These:

    iPhone 15 Pro Max A3106 (Australia / Global) 128GB Capacity Only

    Does NOT Fit / Is NOT:

    • US model A2849 — its board is eSIM-only with mmWave hardware. Different layout.
    • A3105 (Canada / Japan) and A3108 (China) — contact us to confirm before ordering.
    • 256GB, 512GB or 1TB devices — the NAND capacity cannot be changed.
    • iPhone 15 Pro (6.1 inch) — different board. Its models are A2848 / A3101 / A3102 / A3104.
    • iPhone 15, 15 Plus or any older iPhone.
    • Not the lower board — this listing is the upper (data) layer only.
    • Not a complete working motherboard — no CPU or baseband included.
    • Not an activation-lock or iCloud bypass. Your own working chips carry the identity.

    CNC Pre-Drilled vs Hand-Ground Donor Board

    This CNC Board

    • Factory CNC drilling — clean, repeatable pad access.
    • 128GB NAND already reflowed and inspected.
    • Fresh substrate with no prior heat cycles.
    • Honest listing — sold as a swap board, nothing more.
    • Bench inspected before dispatch.

    Hand-Ground Donor Board

    • Manual grinding risks cut traces and lifted pads.
    • Unknown NAND health and unknown heat history.
    • Donor boards often carry hidden corrosion.
    • Often listed as "tested" with no proof.
    • No inspection or quality checks before sale.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What exactly is included on this board? +

    You get the CNC-machined upper board with a 128GB NAND chip pre-soldered. That is the "with hard disk" configuration.

    No CPU, baseband, EEPROM or NFC chip is included. Those transfer from your original board.

    How does a CPU and baseband swap work? +

    Your original chips are removed with hot air and reballed. They are then reflowed onto this fresh board.

    The device identity lives in your chips, so it activates as your phone. This is expert BGA work.

    Will this remove an iCloud or activation lock? +

    No. The lock follows your original CPU and baseband, which you transfer across. The lock state does not change.

    This part repairs physically damaged boards for devices you own. It is not a bypass tool.

    Why must the NFC chip be transferred? +

    On 15-series boards, the NFC chip is tied to the original board set. Leaving it behind causes a boot loop at the Apple logo.

    Always move the original NFC chip across with the CPU and baseband.

    Will Face ID still work after the swap? +

    Yes, if your original CPU and TrueDepth parts stay together. Face ID pairs to those components, not the bare board.

    Damage the TrueDepth flex during the job and Face ID is lost. Handle it carefully.

    Can I use this on a 256GB or 512GB phone? +

    No. The 128GB NAND is soldered and fixed. Capacity cannot be changed by software.

    Match the board to the device's original capacity. We can source other capacities on request.

    Does it fit the Australian iPhone 15 Pro Max? +

    Yes. The Australian model is A3106, and this board matches that spec. It uses the international sub-6 5G layout.

    It does not suit the US A2849. That board is eSIM-only with mmWave hardware. For A3105 or A3108 devices, contact us first.

    Does it work for the iPhone 15 Pro too? +

    No. The 6.1 inch iPhone 15 Pro uses a different board. Its model numbers are A2848, A3101, A3102 and A3104.

    This listing is for the 6.7 inch Pro Max only.

    Is there a warranty on this board? +

    No. Board-level parts carry no warranty. The outcome depends entirely on installer workmanship and heat control.

    Every board is bench inspected before dispatch. Check it under magnification before starting any transfer.

    Can JPC do the chip transfer for me? +

    Yes. We do board-level micro-soldering in-house at Forest Lake.
