Dead Galaxy S22 Logic Board Repair - Customer fell on the phone

[@Bjowolf2]

When watching an expert with a great sense of humour repairing phones becomes far more entertaining and captivating than 99 % of what is on TV and streaming services these days 😂

[@worroSfOretsevraH]

You should definitely leave your signature on every single board you work on! "STS was here" With pride.

[@F4LDT-Alain]

Your videos never cease to amaze me but this one really raises the bar IMO. All of this without a schematic or even a board view? Paint me very, very impressed here. You're a wizard, pal. And your videos are so entertaining with the relaxed tone, clear diction and excellent filming. My favourite phone repair channel without a doubt.

[@ststele]

Thank you for watching and commenting! I appreciate the compliments. Also, I like your profile pic!! 👍 now gotta plan for some lasagna 😁

[@absurdengineering]

@@ststeleYeah, your diction is on point. For a “repair channel” you sure got a lot of the production top-notch. Keep’em coming, this stuff is so enjoyable to watch and learn from.

[@_EmptyBox_]

I don't know if I miss them, or there aren't much of them, but I haven't seen Samsung boards very often, so this was neat to see something different. Glad the customer requested the vid, and you obliged. Thanks, Jason!

[@ststele]

I'm much more comfortable recording iPhone repairs so I just haven't recorded thee much. When it turns out to be an internal board sandwich issue, it's a really ugly task to try to fix. Thank you! :-)

[@aekdjdi4283]

As usual, I can feel your genuine professionalism, consciousness, and above all, your kindness. Keep it up 💪

[@FakeNews953]

This is what I think of when I think of Skilled Labor. Impressive to see someone who’s this skilled and confident in his profession

[@n4_ku]

Imagine if there's still a problem after putting it all back together.😭😭 You are a brave man.

[@jgemmell2823]

I do have to admire your attention to detail. Cutting the copper heat transfer tape around that semi round corner of the shield was slick!

[@ststele]

Thank you! I beat myself up a bit for not having wider copper tape. Lol Many techs would have just left it off and the phone would probably be ok.

[@User-13cd-rukf]

The attention to detail is amazing, i will never in my life reach that level i don't have the patience to do that. LOL

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

Great detective skills to find the fault . Amazed the back glass did not even have a crack

[@theboz1419]

Im amazed he bent it without breaking the back glass. I have a S23U and I sat down on mine and the back broke with a Caseborne installed on it. My phone worked fine, though. I replaced it and now I make sure to remove it when I sit down or if there is a chance I may fall down while doing my job.

[@t0aster_b4th]

Always phenomenal work, as a Samsung fan myself, this was a refreshing change of pace. I'm not exactly skilled at component level repairs or tracking down these sorts of shorts and such, so it's always nice watching a master do their thing. Extra impressive that you're able to do it competently and efficiently without a schematic or any real aid. Keep up the amazing work sir, you've absolutely earned my sub and many more!

[@ststele]

Hey thank you! I very much appreciate you watching and complimenting. 🙏

[@geraldmcfadden2270]

Great work Jason it’s wonderful to watch you work and I’m glad you are making videos again.

[@Alex-kp3hr]

Nice job. Keep em comming. Have you ever thought of repairing computer/laptop boards?

[@davidguillory4311]

I have a samsung A14 that I will be replacing the screen one day soon that will be a big job to remove the old broken screen. I definitely like watching every video that you upload here on KZbin.

[@ststele]

I much prefer buying Samsung screens with the frame and screen already assembled. Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm planning to upgrade cameras soon!

[@thepubliceye]

That low melt metal must be what magicians make spoons out of that melt in their fingers.

[@MatthewSuffidy]

Please tell me you got rid of the dent in the shield? I am guessing the problem is it made that cap short to ground.

[@YoungKKim-mw4ls]

Wow good job!

[@dejanpetkovski8761]

Hi STS Telecom can you put a link from where you get that power charger with osciloscope it,s nice looking.

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

Heya, nice repair love to see these samsung repair can you do them more often or is there no schematich and or boardview for samsung ?

[@ststele]

Yes, will do! Thanks :-) I have quite a few board views and schematics but missing quite a few too. ZXW has the board view for the S22 ultra but not the S22-- odd.

[@dave7010]

Another Great video. Thanks Jason . 👍👍 A pleasure to watch you work.

[@ststele]

Hey, thanks! I'm so glad that you watch & comment. I'm planning to upgrade some cameras soon to make it easier on the eyes.

[@dave7010]

@@ststele HiJason, i never commented on the cameras before but on my end the images and sound are amazing. I'm just glad your on youtube making these wonderfull videos and helping people understand just how our electronics function. Thanks. 👍

[@ststele]

Thank you! I am my biggest critic. 🙂

[@SvenSchumacher]

Is it possible that the shield was mechanically stressed by the fall in such a way that the capacitor underneath was damaged? Did the cover prevent the glass from being subjected to too much local stress? And I would probably have replaced the battery, as this is really damaging for LiPo if they have been discharged in this way.

[@anthonym612]

Great video, Jason!

[@davi5music521]

Really nice video! Thanks

Which thermal device you used to find short. Please reply I really need it.

[@ForrestLambert.2022]

Do you use the hot air to take back covers off? What you set the heat and air at? Awesome video.

[@ststele]

Thanks. Yes I do 220c airflow 65 and gradually heat until the phone is almost too hot to touch. It would be easy to overheat using hot air tho!

[@dinkin7227]

Where can I purchase the s22 ultra board view files from? I'm trying to look but I can't seem to find any o.o I'm trying to repair my phone and it's having a similar issue and it's an s22 ultra So being pointed in the right direction to find the board view files in addition to schematics diagrams would be amazing

Oh NO, your next 100 devices that come in are going to have a 'make a video please pleeeeeeease' note with them.. You just opened up Pandora's Box! Nice to see how clean that phone is, and knowing the A14 - he probably wants his S22 back.. big difference there!

[@ststele]

Yes, very true! For sure will be getting more video requests. Also the customer updated the ticket after watching this video & is very much looking forward to getting the S22 back after using the A14. It looks like he should be receiving it today!

[@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305]

Is there anyway i could send my s22 ultra to you to see if you can get it to turn on ? i threw the phone many time when i snapped, and it turned off.. i bought a new display and frame from samsung... and replaced it all myself which is easy to do.. but it still wont turn on... there are 2 fpc connectors and one for the antenna on the board and sub board that broke when the phone snapped in half on the frame "it snapped between the board and battery which ripped the cables off the FPC connectors", for the black ribbon cables, and the antenna cable.. and i have a local shop who will replace those fpc connectors on the board for $150 and hes confident itll get the phone to turn on But im not that dumb as ive built and worked on computers and dabled a little on circuit boards for 20 years.. just not phones.. and i still dont think an fpc connector is going to get it to boot, and i am not confident in this shop to diagnose the issue further than this... Sure with no FPC connection the screen wont come on.. the USB connection wont work.. but shouldnt the board itself still power on ? I dont think the FPC connectors have any affect on wether the main board turns on or not. the phone shut off the first time i tossed it... before i snapped it in half ... The first toss just shattered the back and front but it wasnt snapped.. and those connectors werent broken... Which leads me to think its another issue.. something from the impact of the phone being tossed shut it off. This is why im thinking im going to waste my money replacing the FPC connectors that WERENT broken when the phone shut off on the first toss. i asked if he could do something similar to what you did in this video.. and he said no which is weird considering he has the tools and stuff you do, He put my phone under the microscope and i saw the damaged FPC connections... if he can repair this kind of stuff like resoldering an FPC connector and stuff, shouldnt he be able to diagnose a no power issue by tracing the power issues like you did.. That seems simple to me, I would do it myself but i dont have the tools you do I mean the FPC connectors still have to be replaced, so i guess it isnt a "Waste" of money, but what i mean by waste is this is probably not going to get it to turn on as there is probably something else causing that issue If i didnt want my data so badly i would just get another phone, which im going to have to get here soon.. been 2 weeks without a phone and i NEED one bad... if i do the FPC connector replacement, between that and the new frame and screen i got i would have already put $300 into this phone, and what if the FPC connections still dont get it to boot then im out $300 ? Then i gatta pay another $150-300 to get that to work ? I dunno this sucks.. All because i refuse to use cloud storage... maybe i should use that on the next phont.. i shoulda had my pics backed up on my pc as well... sigh

[@rsaj-cq6ne]

Why while reading in diode mode for looking for a short you put red lead to ground and black lead to where the cap would be positive? is this because your black lead positive?

[@chasebradshaw9314]

If you don't mind answering,how much would the costumers bill be? How long did this job take ? After watching your skills I believe if someone needed their data really bad ,your services could cost as much as the used phone price .a price well worth the data plus the costumer can recover much more at resale with a working phone

[@ststele]

We charged $190 + shipping for this repair. It took quite a bit more time than the video shows of course!

[@Fahim.23]

I am following along this repair with board view and schematic from Jcid, Also jc are making a lot very interesting repair tools and software like JCID RBOX Bus Analyzer what are your thoughts? maybe a video? i learned so mush from you. great video like always

[@nathanhitchcock7307]

Hey Jason, where do you buy that low melt solder from? I assume that melts lower than the typical 138 low melt that most of us buy

[@nathanhitchcock7307]

Nvm! You answered my question literally 10 seconds later in the video from when I stopped to ask my question 😂

[@ststele]

Yes way lower. It melts at 136F! 😮 a cup of coffee is hotter than that. This is SRA Fast Chip alloy. It’s on Amazon for around $12. I believe paid closer to $25 for mine years ago at Micro-Center.

[@nathanhitchcock7463]

Wow! Yeah that will make taking these shields off much more doable. I previous was cutting them off with nippers. Makes getting them off honestly quite a pain

[@ChrisVoitures]

I have a s22 plus thats stuck in a continuous bootloop. I thought it had a software issue because this happened after update ui 6.1. After having brought it in to a repair shop, they said the o2 ssnsor is dead and the phone needs a new motherboard.. Ironically i can get the phone to start up and work after i put it in the freezer for 15 min. Putting wifi on will cause the phone to die and get stuck in bootloop again, it only works temporarily using mobile data. However i also found it, once connected to my imac the phone actually works perfect! No wifi possible again, but at least while connexted to imac the phone works.. how is this possible if the so called motherboard is dead ? I would deeply appreciate your expert opinion on this

I startes not like board repair since iphone 12 serie because they use higher temperature for board to split, up to 11 pro max was really interesting to repair but with those boards we need to reball every time.

[@ststele]

The new boards are awful for what was once quick repairs. If the problem is inside, it's very time consuming no matter what. As the device ages, it will become cost prohibitive to repair much faster than previous models. I think that is intentional by Apple.
