I was able to follow these directions to replace the daughter-board on my Galaxy s6. I have *NO* technical experience. The real difficulty was with the products from iFixit - the gel pad didn’t melt the adhesive (I used a heat gun instead), the “guitar pics” were too flimsy & the screwdriver was RIDICULOUSLY small…I bought a mini Craftsman set that made ALL the difference.
My Samsung charging cable was melted, and after this I could not charge phone using micro usb. I’ve replaced Charging Port Daughterboard, but after this there is no Fast Charge. This option turned On in setup, but phone charging +4h.
Charger replaced, usb cable with 5 pins.
Any issue?
this for me was easy
