Samsung Galaxy A53 5G: Microphone No Longer Working

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 04:49:12 -0700

As the title says, my microphone is no longer working. I have spoken with a repair shop about it, and it is not the physical microphone. It is the hardware/board, and I was informed I was better off getting a new phone than trying to fix this issue. The only issue is I don't have the money at the moment for a new phone. Has anyone else had this issue / knows what to do before I go try and finance a new phone?

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G: Data recovery, a53 circuit boards...

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 21:24:13 -0700

I own a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G that was broken during a construction project a while ago. The frame, screen, and battery are all ruined but both the mother and daughter boards are intact. I recently purchased a working A53 and swapped out both circuit boards and attached new cables. The phone powered on successfully because I felt the vibratory motor. However the screen does not light up nor does it respond to touch. I attached a mouse via OTG and was able to locate the pattern screen lock grid (the phone vibrates if the pattern is entered incorrectly). I then attached the device to a computer. The computer pinged but the phone does not appear as an available device, however it does appear in device management as MTP USB Device under portable devices. The device status displayed is This device is working propery and it is recognized as a Samsung.

I also tried all this with a new daughterboard with the same results. All this tells me that both the storage component and the CPU are in working order but something obviously isn't. So what can be done to recover the data I still have on the phone? I had some backed up but not all.

Thank you.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G: Restoring the firmware from the testing firmware

Sat, 25 Jan 2025 21:12:42 -0700

I have a Samsung Galaxy A53 5G but its firmware version isn't the firmware it should have; it seems to be for device testing purposes. The phone runs the android and OneUI versions the A53 initially came out with and functions properly for the most part. There are apps technicians use such as "memlogger controller" "sdmhidden-menu" and "smart epdg test" that I can't uninstall, updates aren't supported with this firmware version and command lines appear on the screen during startup and shutdown. How can I fix this? How can I reinstall the original firmware so this phone is like a normal Galaxy A53 5G? The attachments show the apps and the firmware versions and some of the command threads.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G: What is wrong with my phone? Processor issues? Virus? Dead Screen?

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 16:10:13 -0700

I have a Samsung galaxy A53 phone. SM-s536DL(GP)
Last week, randomly (didn't drop it or get it wet), my phone starts getting stuck and freezing every once in a while. I clean up the storage and ram, and restart it. It works again for a while. Then, it starts happening again, slowly getting worse. Occasionally, it freezes so bad, it displays a rainbow screen, like it's stuck between loading the new information.

This weekend, I manage to backup most of my data to the Samsung smartswitch thing, however there wasn't enough room to back up the app data, and a couple other smaller things. I was working to back up the rest to an empty SD card, when the phone froze again. I haven't been able to get anything to work on it since.

I don't think it's the screen.. but if you knew of someway I could check? Last week for example, even when it wasglitches, I could still boot up to the blue bootloader screen, and start up the phone in "safe mode" without any issues. The issues only came when I tried to leave safe mode. I was hoping to back everything up, and factor reset the phone to wipe any viruses.. but couldn't in time.

From what I can tell.. I think It might be the processor or cpu dying.. possibly some connection in the phone got fried.. or maybe I got a nasty virus or bug.

Do you have any suggestions for what to check to diagnose the problem? I don't think my phone has hdmi output to through the USB-C port unfortunately. I've tried connecting to it through the phone connection on windows, but I can't tell if the phone is even on, and I'd need to accept remote control on the phone. I can try to hookup a wired keyboard to try and unlock it, but might be difficult doing it blind.

Is there a way to use my computer to force a backup? And/or factory reset the phone?
Some things are working I think, this morning, my alarms went of a few times. The phone still vibrates when I hold down the "volume down key and power button" (forces a restart) and for a brief moment this morning, i could see the charging screen, but it was frozen and couldn't move to the unlock screen.

I've been trying to let the battery die, but without using it, that's difficult, and I can't see the battery percentage. (This morning it was around 83%) the last time I let the battery die, and let it sit for a while, I was able to char be it back up in the morning and backup the first half of the phone.

When I plug it in to my laptop, there's a connection sound notification, like it recognizes the phone.. but, it must be set in music transfer or something because the phone's directory doesn't pop up on the file explorer.

Sorry for the length, just trying to give you the full picture and everything I've tried already. The last time I asked someone, they just said it was a bad screen and quoted me $100+. It tends to not be worth it to replace the whole screen in my experience, so if there's anything to try before trying that, please let me know.

If it does come down to the screen, is this what I would need as a replacement?
