This has been something i've always struggled with. I tried it twice with no luck. I honestly didn't do any research in the past on techniques to follow.
But now I have an Samsung A50 that came in for Data Recovery. No luck solving it at the board level. So next option would be a CPU swap to do it successfully.
I bought a donor phone so I can transplant it to. But I also decided to first, try reballing the CPU, RAM and UFS. If I can do this successfully, then I should be able to do the CPU SWAP, as it's the same steps.
Thanks to some help from my friend, Joe Ham, I nailed it.
I will try a few more, then record a video of the process.
This case was just a practice run. Now it's time to go and try it on a real data job... so BRB!
If you have a Seek Thermal Cam, you're missing out if you don't have a VCC Seek Stand: https://www.vccboardrepairs.com/buy-seek-stand
Injured Gadgets just got these back in stock, so get them while you can!
It can take us a while to build these out sometimes, so they're sometimes out of stock for a while, but we're working towards always having inventory ready to build more as they sell out.
This stand makes using a thermal cam so easy. So much better than any other thermal solution on the market.
It allows you to get real close up (using my Macro Lens), and easily find where the short is coming from.
Plus it's hard free, so you can have your hands free to try to boot the device from DCPS, while having an image that is in focus & not moving around.
You can even record a video through the app, while you inject voltage into the short, so you can go back & see exactly which component was it that was heating up.
Save yourself lots of time by getting a Seek Cam, Stand & Macro Lens! ...
Anyone who is doing game console repairs, knows how many screws you need to remove to access the motherboard.
Especially the PS5, with the 5,000 screws or so.
If you don't already have an electric screwdriver, GET ONE ASAP.
🌟 Cordless Screwdriver with T9 Bit: https://amzn.to/3E5duCj
🌟Extended T9 Bit: https://amzn.to/3c4YJac
It's rechargeable through micro USB and allows you to easily swap the tips out. You can also fold it to be straight or L shape.

Hello, i subbed since i saw the last video about how to solve boot loop with odin.
My s23 ultra is in a boot loop and i tried everything to solve but nothing worked, now i have 2 options i came across to.
The first one would be a cpu o and nand swap on a new board or similar but i am undable since i am in Italy and all the persons who do this are in us and it is pretty expresive.
and the second one i found out lately is to use odin as the last video of the yt channel shows.
Now my phone doesnt boot but i can access download mode.
If i do all the steps correctly the phone should be fixed?
IF SO, most importnat part, I would like to recieve a suggestion, i will attach a pic with the Samkey data, may you suggest me which fireware should i install with odin?
Should i install the same one or the latest? since afaik the boot loop is caused by a old software released by samsuing.
