Samsung Galaxy Note5: Note 5 No Power, Won't Boot, Won't Charge

Tue, 24 Apr 2018 22:37:48 -0700

I have a note 5 that has never been water damaged and never seen any condensation at all, I have only used the original power adapter and USB cable that came with the phone, and a few days ago the Note 5 died and would not turn back on. Left it on the charger for a while and still would not give any indication of charging or any signs of life at all. I have repaired countless Note 5's and never seen this before so I decided to take it apart. Used a volt meter to check the voltage of the battery which read 2.87 Volts, which is dangerously low. Next I checked to see that the phone is dispersing power correctly by checking the positive and negative battery terminals on the motherboard while I had the phone plugged in, and it read 4.24 Volts, which is good since phone batteries need 4-5 volts to charge, so the problem does not appear to be the dock connector and doesn's seem to be the motherboard, but I have already tried replacing the battery with ones that work in every other Note 5 that I have.

I also cannot boot into recovery or download mode.

There is zero physical damage, no dents or cracks and the AMOLED is in perfect shape.

Cannot even get the notification light to turn on under any circumstance.

Any suggestions?

My friend is telling me her device is the Samsung Galaxy J7 SM-700T.

When looking for parts I see TONS of different similar model numbers, and sometimes years. How can I be sure that I get the correct part?

Do the screens on all J7 phones cross? Or do I need a year specific part?

Samsung Galaxy Ace II x: After swapping digitizer, device won't boot

Thu, 22 Sep 2016 02:47:35 -0700

Hi all, I recently swapped out the digitizer on a S7560M, and since then, the device is stuck in a boot loop, powers up, goes to logo, reboots.

I have torn down and re-assembled the device to check connections, all appears ok.

Can't get to safe mode or recovery, I'm stuck.

Since this is a fairly new device I can't find any further info. I have repaired many different devices over the years, and have not had an issue like this.

any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4: My phone keeps turning off

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 05:22:52 -0700

My phone turned off by itself and then didn't turn back on. I removed the battery and let it sit for a while and then put it back on and still didn't turn on. After morr than one hour and half it turned on but later in thr night it did the same. Then I did a Reset using Recovery Booting. The next day it turned off again but after 10 minutes Iit turned on back and now it did the same and doesn't turn on. It turns of till I see the Samsung logo and then it turns off and on again just to see the Samsung logo. And when it worked after I did the reset I went to the software upgrade and it said that my opersting system has been modificated in an unauthorizate way. Does anyone knows what the problem might be?
