Case 2.  SAMSUNG Galaxy S10 Keep Rebooting After Water Damage

Client feedback: this phone dropped into water then keep restarting.

Repair Process: 

  • First, for the water-damaged phones, there might be some components or chips that get corrosive by an electrolyte. So we can disassemble the phone, take out the motherboard to check the cosmetics first.
  • After checking we find the cover under the flashlight with a little bit of corrosion sign. The remove the cover to check the chips and components under the shielding cover.

  • Is that possible the issue is caused by the pads being corrosive under the chip and components?  As we can see from the above picture, after cleaning there is no obvious corrosive damage. But still let’s resolder the chip to have a try.

Then connect with the DC power supply again, there is still a 32mA current leakage

  • Like the small current leakage normally is caused by chip damage, then we can apply with DC power and feel the heat components with finger or lips (not recommended, haha)

  • And on the backside is the charging IC, the parts number is MAX77705C.

        Hot chip rear side

  • This chip is just like the charging IC, it will switch the main power into the secondary power supply, we check the secondary power supplies, it’s also with 32mA current leakage.
  • So there is a high chance the issue is caused by this chip. Remove it and test, there is no current leakage.

        Remove the charging IC

  • Then replace it with a new one. After that, assemble the phone to test, all functions are OK. The issue gets resolved by replacing the charging IC.
