The thing with this connector is.. It is a design flaw, i named it samsung's Bendgate. on this specitic connector, outer terminals gets loose, sometimes starts heating up. They get loose naturally, because there is no supporting structure for them, and they are poorly soldered. When they get loose, phone stops charging, because on the left is +5V_USB, on the right - ground. Its usually +5V_USB which gets loose and phone fails to charge. Quick test is to simply apply pressure to see if phone starts charging. If you disconnect this connector at any point, it will bend outwards, simply because of how its designed.. So if you ever disconnect this, YOU HAVE TO adress it, otherwise phone will simply stop charging in mere future. This exact issue applies for all of samsung's phones which has this connector, just a few to mention - A30S, A40, A70, A51, A70, S20FE.. easy fix is simply bending the side pins inwards and properly soldering them down so they cant move at all. I know it sounds dodgy, but so far i did somewhere around 200 of theese and none came back after the fix, while after replacing the connector, had almost all of them come back at some point. It is most common cause of "not charging" for a lot of samsung phones, even though technitians thinks its charging port, for that reason we firstly adress the connectors, because id say around 95% of the time its the connectors and not the cport. we have wrote a small post in IG for those interested, if what i can provide mode examples of this :) instagram.com/p/CGnpUPjDF-4/ @STS Telecom

No the data was not important on this. I occasionally get work from another repair shop in the next town over from me , he sent this to me unable to get the device to charge to test it any further. I put it under my scope and noticed the connector bent on the right as well as damaged after further inspection. That's when I reached out to STS as they have always done amazing work on iPhone's that I've sent in. As always great work Jason. Thank you kind sir. I always enjoy these videos, really enjoyed watching you work on a board that I sent in. Awesome stuff.

When I used to work in warranty repair for Samsung, these screen cables would always detach on their own, and sometimes a new screen wouldn't fix it so we'd do a board swap. I never looked too much into it because when doing in-warranty repairs you just swap whatever and call it a day, but I think these connectors may just be a little jank. Maybe a similar story to the Pixel 4XL battery connector issue, although that was more obvious with what the issue was.
@heyyo3997 Жыл бұрын
I encountered a lot of "loose connections" in Samsung phones. I'm actively working as a repair technician and many models like the A51, A40, A71 just to name a few have that same 78 pin connector and depending on the area where those pins are not making a good connection with the pads you may get different issues like charging (slow or not at all), display/touch problems, even bottom speaker.
@Brizene2 ай бұрын
I discovered this issue on my phone. I thought the screen was broken and charging port, I could squeeze with a small clamp and charge port started working. I tried getting data off but couldn't see screen to change option to file transfer etc. Bought a new screen replaced it.....turns out the pins for the fpc on bottom row to right had broken off and stuck in the flat cable....I am invested now so i need to get this fpc port fixed and get new cable White flag

This is the same connector that is used in A40/A50/A70 series and the left side pin that you repaired is usually the weak point. My shop got this because the phones wouldn't charge and at one point I got like 15-20 per week. I actually also fixed the connectors but then they ended up failing on the other side so I just started to replace them.

I did an S20 Ultra display FPC today and it was also cracked long-ways. It was missing half of it where it had gotten stuck in the FPC side connector. Pretty much the same break as in this video. These connectors seem to be VERY brittle.
@ThermalWorld_2 жыл бұрын
That connector is very long, to solder it I use the technique of filling the connector with flux in the center, so the plastic does not burn "it acts as a protection" then I warm it up. Usually more dense flux is needed.
