Samsung Galaxy A13: Samsung Galaxy A13 (SM-A136U) Power Button Replacement

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:03:22 -0700

I need to replace the power button on my Samsung Galaxy A13 (model SM-A136U), but I can't find a specific guide or a replacement power button part on iFixit. The button is not working. Has anyone else had this issue or know if the power button is part of another component? Any advice on how to proceed with this repair would be greatly appreciated.

Samsung Galaxy A13: Phone stuck on restarting over and over.

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 05:37:08 -0700

My Samsung Galaxy A13 5G did an automatic update. This was an update by Samsung. When I woke and checked my phone it had a dark screen and in red letters was stating that phone could not be started? Im sorry but can't remember exactly what it said. Basically, I was stuck on that screen. I tried restarting and also tried restarting in safe mode. But it only went to that screen. Next day my phone opened to Oden mode?? Well, it's been a week now and on the third day, it will not do anything unless it's plugged in to charger. And when I plug it into the charger it will act like it's restarting and shows the Samsung logo and the little android guy but won't go past that. It then goes and tries to restart again and will do this over and over seconds apart. You literally cannot do anything with the phone because there is no screen to do anything on. Just the phone restarting. I've checked to make sure buttons are not sticking. They are not. I don't have a cover on my phone. And there is no glass screen protector on it. In trying to fix this, I've read lots of stuff to do. But most has to do with the phone on, and a working screen. There has got to be a way to fix this to where I can at least factory reset. I can't even do that because of the constant restarting. Help please. I can't find anything that has come close to this problem. Thank you.

Samsung Galaxy A13: Power button flex connector damaged or FPC connector damaged?

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 01:33:23 -0700

Hello, I have a samsung a13 which the power button doesn’t seem to quite work.The original power button wasn’t working so I replaced it with an aftermarket one from ebay. It seems to really only turn on the phone when I hold the buttons connector down to the fpc connector. I am wondering what could be wrong. Could the actual fpc connector on the motherboard be damaged? Or could the connector on the power button flex be damaged/defective? As the issue seems to be similar before I installed the aftermarket power button flex.

Samsung Galaxy A13: How can I power up my Samsung A13 without power and volume buttons?

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 11:14:05 -0700

My phone won't power up and I suspect the side key flex. My volume button is also broken, but when I click the micro-switch with a toothpick, the charging indicator shows for a while on the screen What is a good way to bypass both the volume buttons and the side-button? I have access to the inside of the phone but draw the line at soldering anything.

Samsung Galaxy A13: Phone won't turn on, but vibrates every 7 seconds.

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 15:26:20 -0700

Hi, as the title says, my Samsung A13 won't turn on at all. Continuously for 3 hours it has been making a single vibration pulse every 7 seconds. I'm kinda stumped as what to do. The screen is pretty cracked, so I would have assumed the screen was just dead if not for the vibrations, but that makes me wonder if something else might be wrong. The vibrations continue whilst on charge as well. The only time it stops is if I hold down the power on and volume down whilst charging. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Is my phone dead or can this be fixed?

Samsung Galaxy A13: Does a dead motherboard impact charging and battery health?

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 04:52:04 -0700

Newby repairer question here:

My friend recently gave me his Galaxy A13 that according to him just stopped working one day. With about 50% battery the screen simply went black and it hasn't powered on since.

I connected a charger and could see that it was drawing and holding charge, I suspect this is probably due to a dead motherboard. But it got my wondering, whilst I'm aware they're totally separate components, would a dead motherboard have any impact on a phone drawing or holding charge?

UPDATE @oldturkey03 These are the best I could do. Everything looks fine to my untrained eye. Hoping you can shed some light on the situation. Also apologies for the delay have been on holiday

Since the last update, my battery gets drained very quickly. I have all of the settings on to optimize. I close apps. I go on local wifi. Is there anything else I can do to make it last through my work day? It used to be 70 - 80% at end of day. Now it is 20 -30%.
