Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3: Broken solder pad for usb port

Tue, 17 Sep 2019 16:19:37 -0700

Hello everyone!

I found a samsung galaxy xcover 3 in the trash that would start but not charge when the power cable was plugged in. I decided to try to fix it because I really could use a “new” phone. To my disappointment I found out that the phones usb port is soldered directly to the mainboard. I thought I’d just give it a shot (eventhough I never soldered smd before) and bought a replacement port. Teardown was succsessful and I got digitizer and lcd off without damaging them. But desoldering the port was very messy. To my surprise the phone still turned on and seem to function normally after I finally managed to get the port off, I could have sworn I already bricked it. The desoldering must’ve taken like an hour lol. After cleaning up the flux-solder mess I saw that one solder pad was missing. Does anyone know what that contact was for and if there’s any change of fixing it? what would happen if that one contact just isn’t connected? Here’s a foto of the contacts:

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3: Xcover 4 (Both) Camera's not working

Mon, 28 May 2018 14:59:16 -0700

Short story is, phone got dropped, screen replaced and neither camera is working, assuming the cause was the impact as the screen was completely broken.

Have tried all the usual fixes, turn it off, take the cards out, re-set the device, replace the cameras etc.... and nothing has worked.

From what I can tell it is the logic board, is there anyone out there that can point me in the direction of a common cause for this or a schematic for the Xcover 4.

Thanks

Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3: no backlight after connecting screen

Fri, 09 Feb 2018 17:36:20 -0700

Hello guys, I want to fix something and really found any hint or solutions or schematics.

I struggle finding the part I broke. I have not been very careful and connected the screen while the phone was powered on. This destroyed something in the backlight circuit. Since I am bad figuring out what I destroyed there I would like to ask you. Also this should be a fast to find answer for others when I fixed it successfully
