iPhone 15 Pro Max — sensor array 0x500000: Charging port flex + wireless charging coil

High confidenceVerified sourceSMC: silent sensor

On the iPhone 15 Pro Max, 0x500000 means: Charging port flex + wireless charging coil.

What does this code mean?

SMC “BSC failure” panic: the system management controller (built into the SoC) periodically waits for a response from each mandatory sensor; here, two sensors are missing: charging port (0x100000) and wireless coil (0x400000), a combination reproduced in the lab. With no response, it forces a restart, which repeats roughly every 3 minutes (≈180 s) as long as the sensor stays silent.

Which part to test first?

Check/test the charging port flex and the wireless coil flex.
