iPhone SE (1st generation) — tp3r: Logic board

Low confidenceVerified sourceMissing sensor

On the iPhone SE (1st generation), tp3r means: Logic board (temperature probe on the board) — micro-soldering repair.

What does this code mean?

Watchdog panic: thermalmonitord no longer receives the reading from TP3R, an undocumented temperature probe, most likely on the logic board (same “TPxx” naming family as TP1A); with no response for ~3 minutes, iOS restarts the iPhone. Rare case: no confirmed repair found.

Which part to test first?

First test with a known-good battery, charging flex and power flex to rule out the parts; then board-level diagnosis by micro-soldering (thermistor line, short to ground, and according to a relayed report, the Tigris charging circuit).
