Repair of a Samsung Galaxy A05. It neither turns on nor charges /Reparación de un Samsung Galaxy A05. No enciende ni carga.
Good afternoon, friends of GeekZone and the rest of Hive. Today I bring you the repair of a Samsung Galaxy A05 that won't turn on.
These phones are quite well-known among technicians; their most common failures are:
*They suddenly shut down and then won't turn on.
*They stop charging.
*They lose image display.
*They lose touch functionality.
These last three failures are associated with a manufacturing defect in the lower cover of the subboard, where it heavily presses against the flex cable that connects the subboard and the main board, causing the breakage or partial interruption of these lines.
Our mobile device to be repaired falls into the first case: the phone suddenly turned off on the customer and now won't turn on; furthermore, it doesn't charge either.
REVIEW AND REPAIR
1-We open the mobile phone and measure the battery voltage. It is correct; it has 3.7 V, which is enough to power on.


2-We look for the schematic diagram. We will rely once again on Circuit_bit; with it, we identify the power key pin (the pin that turns on the phone). We check the voltage present, and it is correct; it also has 3.7 V. Up to this point, everything seems fine for the phone to turn on, but that is not the case.



3-We will perform the power-on test using a power supply. Now we solder a positive cable to the battery's VBAT line and another to ground. We connect the power supply, each pole to its respective cable, and trigger a power-on using a small tweezers by bridging the power key pin and the ground pin. A huge problem arises: the power supply shows zero consumption (0 amperes).


4-Analysis: This total lack of consumptionboth in standby and when pressing the power button tells us first that this device does not present any short circuit, and also that the voltage regulator (the PMIC, which is responsible for distributing voltage across the entire board during the power-on process) is not working.
5-This failure is typical and already well-known within the technician community, including the solution, which consists of re-soldering this IC. With the help of Circuit_bit, we see where this integrated circuit is located and proceed to remove the shield or plate protecting it. In our case, we will use a Dremel to remove the shield.


6-Once removed, we place flux over the PMIC, set our heat gun to 350 degrees, and apply heat for about 30 seconds over the integrated circuit. The nozzle is never left static on a single point; instead, it is moved in a circular motion to apply the heat as evenly as possible across the entire IC.


7-Once the process is finished, we wait about 5 to 10 minutes for the board to cool down completely. We perform the same procedure of connecting the power supply to the cables we previously connected to the battery's positive terminal and ground. We trigger power-on and observe. And here is the result: consumption appeared (0.065, 0.093, and 0.107 A). This is evidence that the PMIC is now reacting, so we succeeded in the repair.



8-We reassemble the equipment, turn it on, and everything is fine, including charging. It is evident that if the PMIC does not react, the mobile wouldn't charge either, since this integrated circuit also plays a role in the charging process in this model.

Buenas tardes, amigos de GeekZone y el resto de Hive. Hoy les traigo la reparación de un Samsung Galaxy A05 que no enciende.
Estos teléfonos son bastante conocidos por los técnicos; sus fallas más comunes son:
Se apagan repentinamente y luego no encienden.
Dejan de cargar.
*Pierden la imagen.
*Pierden el touch.
Estas tres últimas fallas están asociadas a un defecto de fabricación de la tapa inferior de la subboard, donde esta presiona enormemente el flex que comunica la subboard y la board principal, ocasionando la ruptura o interrupción parcial de estas líneas.
Nuestro móvil a reparar se encuentra en el primer caso: el teléfono se le apagó repentinamente a la cliente y ahora no enciende; además, tampoco carga.
**REVISIÓN Y REPARACIÓN **
1-Abrimos el móvil y medimos el voltaje de la batería. Está correcto; tiene 3.7 V, lo cual basta para encender.


2-Buscamos el plano esquemático. Nos auxiliaremos una vez más de Circuit_bit; con él identificamos el pin del power key (el pin que enciende el teléfono). Miramos el voltaje que hay y está correcto; tiene también 3.7 V. Hasta aquí todo está bien como para que el teléfono encienda, pero no es así.



3-Haremos la prueba de encendido con fuente. Ahora soldamos un cable positivo en la línea VBAT de la batería y otro a tierra. Conectamos la fuente, cada polo a cada cable, y damos encendido con una pequeña pinza uniendo el pin del power key y el de tierra. Surge un problema enorme: la fuente no marca nada de consumo (0 amperios).


4-Análisis: Esta falta de consumo total tanto en reposo como al presionar el botón de encendido nos indica primero que este equipo no presenta ningún cortocircuito, y además que el administrador de voltaje (el PMIC, que es el encargado de distribuir el voltaje en toda la placa durante el proceso de encendido) no está trabajando.
5-Esta falla es típica y ya es conocida en la comunidad de técnicos, incluyendo la solución, que consiste en resoldar este integrado. Con ayuda de Circuit_bit, vemos dónde se localiza este integrado y procedemos a retirar el blindaje o chapa que lo protege. En nuestro caso, usaremos un dremel para retirar el blindaje.


6-Ya retirado el blindaje, colocamos flux sobre el PMIC, ajustamos nuestra estación de calor a 350 grados y aplicamos calor durante unos 30 segundos sobre el integrado. La boquilla nunca se deja estática sobre un mismo punto, sino que se mueve en forma de círculo para aplicar el calor lo más parejo posible sobre todo el integrado.


7-Terminado el proceso, se espera unos 5 a 10 minutos a que se enfríe completamente la board. Hacemos el mismo procedimiento de conectar la fuente a los cables que habíamos conectado al positivo de la batería y a tierra. Damos encendido y observamos. Y aquí está el resultado: apareció el consumo (0.065, 0.093 y 0.107 A). Es la evidencia de que el PMIC ya está reaccionando, por lo que tuvimos éxito en la reparación.



8-Armamos el equipo, encendemos y todo está bien, incluyendo la carga. Es evidente que si el PMIC no reacciona, el móvil tampoco cargaría, ya que este integrado también interviene en el proceso de carga en este modelo.

You sound like you really know your shit! Do you also repair laptops by chance? I have a faulty Lenovo Laptop that I could really use your advice on.
Greetings, my friend. No, I don't repair laptops—just phones for the time being. That takes up all my time; plus, I work as an irrigation and drainage designer, so between the two jobs, I practically don't have time to branch out into other types of repairs. Thanks for the comment.
Oh man, that’s a lot! You’re doing really well. In the future when things get better and you decide to expand into laptop repairs, I’ll be here for it. I know a thing or two about the software-related fixes so I’d be really excited to learn the hardware bit from someone as experienced as you.
Oh, that sounds good, my friend. I'll keep your recommendation in mind. That way, we can exchange knowledge.
