Samsung Galaxy S23: Port and Speaker for S23?

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 10:22:22 -0700

I have an S23. Not Plus or Ultra.

My charging port was screwed up. I shot De-ox-it into it to clean it. Now the port is screwed up, and the speaker is screwed up.

I can't find parts for this model here. Do any of the S23+ or S23 Ultra parts fit this phone?

Thanks.

Samsung Galaxy S23: Loud rattling noise in the top right corner (looked at from screen)

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 18:58:01 -0700

I know that the cameras of the S23 can rattle due to the stabilisation system, though very slightly and not that loud. Also, the rattling doesn't appear when rattling from left to right, just back and fort (like laying it down but stopping right before you do).

Does some have had the same issue? Maybe there's something loose inside? Do you guys have any idea which part it could be and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Samsung Galaxy S23: Wifi won't turn on

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 06:55:41 -0700

My wifi won't turn on and I already tried restarting/resetting my wifi-settings and clearing the cache from the reboot menu.

I did use my phone in salt water, but the problem appeared only 6 days later after going through airport security x-ray machine.

Do I need to replace a hardware part like antenna?

Could I do this myself?

Samsung Galaxy S23: Can I replace a sm-911b with a sm-911u motherboard?

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 13:37:24 -0700

I want to replace the motherboard for my s23 sm-911b. To get the sm-911b (Europe) motherboard it is a lot more expensive than the sm-911u (USA) motherboard. I was wondering if it would work to use the sm-911u motherboard and if I will have any other issues with the phone with changing the motherboard in general. Are there specific phone parts that are paired to motherboard because for iPhones you have to buy a front camera that is paired with the motherboard. Thank you. I would appreciate if you can help me with this.

Has anyone here done this with success on the S23? I'm worried about having issues with the controller. I want to try to upgrade a 128 Gb internal memory to either a 256 Gb or 512 Gb. But I suspect a 512 won't work due to size and form factor

Samsung Galaxy S23: Lighter battery replacement for S23

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 03:57:30 -0700

Hi,

I would like to ask if there is a possibility to change the battery of the galaxy S23 to a lighter one from any other samsung mobiles that can fit.

I can live with a battery that has less capacity than the existing one in the S23 as long as the overall weight of the S23 is decreased by apx 20gr to 30gr

Regards,

Fares
