All mobile Short finding method is same.

The Very basic method to find if there any short on a mobile is using Analog
Multimeter.

Put multimeter to x10

Check Battery Connector pins

simply put (+) test probe on GND pin and (-) test probe on Vbat Pin

if the multimeter pointer moves even a little there is a short.

You also can use a DC power supply for testing Short but this is better to find
where or which part is really short. This way is not a good way to identify a short,
because Power supply can't detect very small shorts which cause some faults on
mobile. So remember the best method is using a multimeter.

Ok. How to find if a phone shot or not using DC power supply

Put power to your mobile using Power supply(As your mobile's power needs)
Normally 3.8V is enough
some Chinese phones needs 4.2v

Connect Red clip to V bat pin

And connect Black clip to both BSI and GND
Do not touch any key or button

If you’re Power supply's Current panel shows any of current amount that’s
mean there is a short in it.
If your Power supply Shows “0.00” on current panel it means there is No No
No..any short

Don't Forget to Adjust "0" ohm before the operation.

..Faulty Mobile..
Remember in mind

When you check some mobiles specially chines mobiles with Spreadtrum Chip
inside, They shows some current consume when you connect is to Power supply.
after a while it will count down to "0" don't treat this as a short.
