Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 not charging, not coming on, usb-c repair

[@churcheil]

trust me sir ive been watching you for the past three months and i fixed three laptops with power problems and countless phones.you inspire me alot and i cant stand a day without checking your channel for vids and tuts.thanks alot sir

[@adminnet123]

william anderson you are absolutely right

[@andreighiu4983]

A perfect explanation from a professional! Good job Sorin! You made my day! I was studied Politechnic University of Bucharest also mechanics on FIM- Faculty of Mechanics Engineering! I had to recognize that, on these tutorials I've learned a lot despite from teachers explanations on that days (1998-2003). Because they teach from a deprecated courses, and students doesn't have the interest in these days to study and to focus on interesting things!

[@sibtulhussan6331]

i change charging port then set had been dead and after watching your video i again charging port my set 10000% alive. THANKS a lot man NICE working

[@john-ericandbrandyludwig9522]

I know this is a old video but I used it to fix our old phone that has been sitting for awhile. Great help and it worked

[@کسیکهدخلوخرجشنمیخونههعی]

thanks dude! Great work ! i love your videos bcus you dont just repair, you Try to give viewer mor info about the soulotion and why! my english is soo bad but i want you know "You Are amazing" 💐

[@zx8401ztv]

I have allways thought that holding a port/socket to a pcb with solder is dodgy, i have had many types of sockets or switches fail. Now if they had a socket rubber mounted, and flexable wires from socket to pcb, it would move about without cracked tracks/joints. Hopefully you will feel better over the weekend, thankyou for enjoyable tutorials :-D

[@zamistry]

Very impressive! But your statement that just 1 pin carries 2Amps gave me an idea. We use fast chargers nowadays and that must be pumping in even more amps through the pins. (I may be wrong as I am not an electronics engineer!) So I switched over to an old charger and that started charging the phone. When that breaks down, I'll send the phone over to you! Thanks for the excellent video!

[@marcocambon]

thanks man! you really helped me with this! I was able to repair my Samsung that had Ex-ac-tly the same issue. great job you're doing with these video, as sharing personal skills is not so common. please carry on! ciao

[@yuanho2883]

Have a nice holiday, have fun. Thanks you for another great video!

[@shaaheenrichardson2927]

[@adminnet123]

I love you man, thanks a lot you helped me a lot and I appreciated that 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ladbla1752]

Congratulation on another successful repair. Do you have any idea if a mobile, with USB-C connector ,shows charging but does not charge in fact? You call it a fake charging( if I remember well).Thanks for the reply

[@jihadsoufiane5887]

Good job please can u explain us more about shorted data line

[@KBez-op4wk]

Watch his other video about data lines here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2HFdYqCiq5_h7c

[@Dr.muthanna]

Nice mechanics tips Will you explain why we should shorted the data pins Can we just desloldering data pin i.e lift pins up Please explain that in future video

[@electronicsrepairschool]

no, you must short the rx with tx in order to get the device charging

[@Dr.muthanna]

Thank you

[@JVFIXLLC]

hey my friend would you make a video explaining how to check power sequence for cpu intel i7. because a get a 7 beep in my which is a cpu problem but i replaced it with a new one and still get 7 beeps. thank you

[@electronicsrepairschool]

what laptop?

[@SeanDIY]

Are you seeing this mainly with Samsung phones? I had the issue with my Note 8 where it said there was water in the port when there wasn't. I posted a video and have thousands of people telling me they have the same issue. Any insights?

[@colinwalker5215]

hi Sorin i dropped my vodafone platinum 7 in the water when out fishing ,do you think this will be repairable as i have a lot of info and pictures on it ,? Colin walker

[@raprezgamer]

OK, charging is working and is should work. But by chance if software need to be flash then what that customer will have to do ? For sure, data pin will not work for that device because it is already shorted.

[@norvinsakiral4450]

The problem of that kind of repair the owner can't use anymore OTG drive and can't reprogram the phone if the OS got corrupted.

[@andrewverran3498]

Hi m8, same thing has happened to my a5, if I want to just be able to get it back to save my data, could I try flux and solder paste over the row of pins and wipe with the soldering iron? Is this way worth a try or are the breaks on the legs too big? You the man. Peace.

[@meharimran86]

Get well soon as well

[@TheAmazingAhmed]

Hello I have a dead a520w, I checked the voltage in the usb-C power and in the battery connector, the voltage was good. The phone is still not booting, what is my next step?

[@leo06081988]

Thank so much sir, you save my life

[@djamilaphonegsmlaghouat]

good job and thanks for the advices.

[@Maciejak1]

i do the same fix its ok phone is charging but computer can't see him but summary thnks for this video it was helpful ;)

[@tanishqbhaiji103]

What about data transfer?

[@kszychop1698]

Now i must to be careful with charging my samsung a5. Thanks for wideo. Regards.

[@5000000000250]

Hi Sorin. What temperature you used for heating the phone? Thank You for great job.

[@gilsonlulho]

please can you help me ? I have one that stopped working the fast charger after the change the connector, looking from left to right lost track of the third pin of the connector, there is an apparently positive track that goes to the left side of the component a little to the left of the charge connector, could you please help me by telling me if you make a jumper until this component loads the quick charge back up again?

[@alexgaicu]

why the mic stop working after this charging port repair? i tried on 2 devices and same issue

[@GoodMusicManiac999]

Never liked that design, it seemed so fragile to me. From now on I'll pay extra attention when charging my A5. Thanks a lot for the explanation.

[@daliborglavan6481]

What battery doctor model is ?!

[@fecheverria]

Learned a lot, thanks

[@mittalkumar8838]

Nice work...and gn😪

[@make6689]

What is the USB-C part number?

[@eggyalfian24]

Is it possible to change usb type c port without releasing the lcd ? Because my lcd cracked ?;

[@ahtungx9167]

U dont need to release the lcd on a520 to change a usb c port

[@eggyalfian24]

@@ahtungx9167 thank you...

[@etienne.larche]

Is it possible to replace a micro USB port with a USB C port? But usb c have more than pin out micro. thanks lot for your reply.

[@geojor]

you shorted the data lines, are they not essential ?...

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Is there a difference if we short the pins on the port, or it has to be after the resistors. Will it charge the same if we sort the pins directly on the port. Nice video :)

[@electronicsrepairschool]

no, you can short them on the charging port aswell

[@LaptopDisassembly]

Thank you for the fast answer.

[@MrRvdbeek]

Nice job

[@voulac7414]

I have a Samsung galaxy a5 2017 with broken USB charging port so I can't charge it anymore and was looking for an alternative like a charger pad but I can't find one that adapts to my phone on amazon. Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks!

[@lejs84]

Hello. Maybe You know is possibile to fix "~no sim restart phone~" on Samsung S4(some times works for 2-3 days and then the problem is back) or i have to replace the motherboard? Thanks for your work!

[@electronicsrepairschool]

just replace the sim card jacket

[@lejs84]

Electronics repair school i did, still the same problem(its a common problem with s4, power issue?)

[@electronicsrepairschool]

it is a common problem indeed, also check the connector from the board

[@bugzeew5782]

is there anyway to extract photos and videos from a dead phone, could I possibly remove the internal SD and recover the photos/vids from that

[@atesone76]

that can be done, but $

[@davidtall0121]

great video my phone is broken have same as the video I have changed the battery put it charge it turned on I broke the back taking it off so I ordered a new one while waiting for the back to come and as it was fully charge and it won't turn on again I've tries all the button tries and stripped down check the connection on the c plug and thing else I can do don't understand how it work and now won't cheers David

[@takaji888]

Is there a link to where to buy this part? I have a newer tablet that has the same usb-c connection and can't find it.

[@nooneelse1837]

on ebay , just search , usb type c connector

Hello, Sorin, greetings from Bulgaria. I have a repair shop for PC, smartphones.. etc. I have a LG TV/Monitor M2252D for repair, it turns on and off every sec.. keep restarting. When i remove the backlight it comes on and working as it should, with a torch i can see picture on the screen. I checked the backlight and everything is fine, all leds are ok. Do you have idea whats wrong with it?

[@electronicsrepairschool]

Hi, on the board, you have a current sensor on the led rails, one for each power rail, can be on anode or catode of the led's, check if those resistors have exactly the right value write on them

[@Cambarat]

Thanks for answer. Everything seems to be fine, today i noticed the biggest chip "XD Engine LGE2111A-T8" is going very hot instantly when i plug the DC power supply. Alcohol disappear immediately from it. Maybe i should try to replace that chip

Hi from France and thank's for sharing , I have the same issue on my Galaxy A3 2017 and I am going to slove the problem . Do you know if the new galaxy S 10 or Note 10 have the same USB-c poor design ? Is that the same for all androids phones ? Thank's for answering.

[@michaelapryce6179]

My phone is charging but its not saying fast charging on the screen what is the problem the charging port or the motherboard

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

Does wireless charge? I got this problem but I can’t wireless charge

[@darcyhofer7373]

[@geojor]

will a Samsung mobile boot up and run with just the charger, and no battery ?...

[@Gadgetfix2671]

Top man workd for me

[@meharimran86]

Sir..why we need to short data line?

[@DumahBrazorf]

If shorted data lines Android phones charge at full current. Don't do on iphones!

[@lee98210]

it activate the full charge mode, but the phone will no longer able to connect to computer for software and data transfer...

[@ahmadsyahmi351]

sir. mine is a5 2016. same dead phone except when connect to charger phone became hot. but nothing happen. no battery charging display no nothing. why is it like that sir?

[@lukundosichone2253]

I can't agree with you more apple charging port, although i like USB-C but I would prefer apple charging port on android. But what do you say now that apple is using USB-C?😅

[@h9asn]

UR AWESOME

[@juhanjulm3074]

Thank you. Maybe i have the same issue with mine A5 2017. I changed the battery and nothing happened. Still dead.

[@NF-jj9no]

Hi, I have Samsung galaxy a3 2015. Something is not right with charging. That’s not a battery ( I replaced it twice), that’s not charging port (I replaced it too). How can I find a problem? I think somewhere is shorting , but I can’t find where’s that point.

[@nooneelse1837]

same with mine

[@undeadnightorc]

As an A5 owner this has me paranoid now, LOL. I'm going to make sure I don't move my phone at all when the usb-c cord is connected from now on.

[@popularmedia9643]

boss now charging is ok but after repaire my phone is showing slow charging .. how to fix it pls help me............. thanks in advance................................

[@jadedsoul1]

Do you think you could draw out a schematic of what you just did onto paper for us so we will know what to do properly? it lookded like you first bridged 2 points then solder 1 row of ground bars then a couple of other up to data line then jumped over data line solder all other bars. then jumped over to mirrored ground and then stuck all them together. as you see to be the first person in the world to have found this problem and its gona be a big one for Samsung. you may as well give us all a proper diagram and stick your name on there..let everybody know it was you who discovered the problem...they should make the whole bottom end solid bar solder with some kind of tension plate that will take a small amount of flex. anyway yes, please prpper schematic on paper to show us clearly ..than you vey much for your wisdom. and ill be very carefull with my A5 its like holding a ba of soap as it is ,never mind being carefull with the cable.. maybe they should make a charge dock so you never have to worry about flex.. of just get wirless magic charger. no cable :) iv subbed and tumbs up..what a great channel i found today. i usually watch lois...have a good one.

[@electronicsrepairschool]

Thank you for your feedback, ok, i will do a dedicated video about usb-c :P

[@arielpyvsz6950]

Gracias pude solucionar mi problema

[@huliganash1023]

flexable wires is are solution. i agree !

[@Stopperbul]

Fast charging is missing mate, you miss a line that control fast charging. But anyway it is fast good job.

its an alienware 17.

year 2013

[@electronicsrepairschool]

you tried with another graphic card?

[@JVFIXLLC]

yes i tryed already and is the same thing. the board was dead and was in short but found an open ceramic capacitor i replaced it and turns on fine and charges fine is just that 7 beep of cpu.

[@electronicsrepairschool]

ok, the cpu vcore?

[@JVFIXLLC]

yes

[@abuubakarosmanaweys9106]

👍

[@thetrick9]

I don't think it has so much to do with the usb c design as much as it has with Samsung's poor implementation. I have many devices and the only ones with broken usb c or usb micro port is galaxy a5 and some philips baby cam, everything else is working fine and in some cases they are order than this phone. But hey, new phones won't sell so easily if the old ones work perfectly fine.

[@seven7mine722]

I’ve done one..make a jumper.but its only for slow charging.not available for fast charging anymore..

You say all you need is power and data. Bullshit you forget high speed data and OTG resistors.

[@electronicsrepairschool]

Oh, the job was to repairing the charging only, for all high speed pins there will be a different price. Thats what the customer choose, he need only the charging to be fixed

My USB stopped working on my Galaxy S9+, I guess I will have to send it to repair, such a shame. Don't believe those phones are waterproof, treat them as if they weren't, the USB is still very sensitive to corrosion or whatever happened to mine.
