hardware reset lines (PON_RESET_N), and awaits PS_HOLD (1.8V) from the application processor.
* Connects to the CPU and modem via the high-speed SPMI serial communication bus for dynamic power gating.

* Sony: Sony Xperia 10 IV.
3. COMMON MOTHERBOARD FAULT SYMPTOMS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Completely Dead Phone (0.00A Current Draw on DC Power Supply):
* Handset shows zero current draw when pressing the power key. Caused by micro-fractures under PM6375
BGA solder balls from physical shock, missing 1.8V PWR_KEY voltage, or defective 38.4MHz crystal.
- Fixed Low-Current Stuck / Freezing (0.04A – 0.08A Draw):
* When the power key is pressed, current jumps to ~50mA–75mA on the DC power supply and locks up
permanently without boot progression (indicates a missing core rail, bad clock, or broken PS_HOLD).
- Automatic Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Port:
* Handset remains on a black screen and connects directly to PC in emergency download mode (EDL 9008)
due to missing or unstable UFS 2.2 storage power lines (VREG_L14 / VREG_L19).
- No 5G Network / Baseband Unknown:
* Phone boots normally into Android, but baseband version shows "Unknown" or the phone has no cellular
connectivity due to missing power rails to the RF transceiver or modem block.
- Primary VPH_PWR Short Circuit:
* Internal breakdown of PM6375's high-side buck MOSFET pulls the main 4.0V VPH_PWR line to 0V ground,
causing the bench power supply to short-circuit immediately.
4. STEP-BY-STEP DIAGNOSTIC & TROUBLESHOOTING:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Cold Testing (Multimeter Diode Mode Check):
1. Disconnect battery and Type-C cable completely.
2. Select Diode Mode on digital multimeter. Connect RED probe to motherboard GND shield:
- Main VPH_PWR Input Capacitors: Normal reading is 360mV – 480mV.
- VDD_APC0 / APC1 Buck Coils (CPU Cores): Normal reading 60mV – 120mV (naturally low impedance).
- VDD_MEM Buck Coil (LPDDR4X Memory): Normal reading 260mV – 380mV.
- VDD_MODEM / CORE Buck Coil: Normal reading 180mV – 280mV.
- 1.8V VIO System Logic Bypass Caps: Normal reading 380mV – 520mV.
3. Diagnostic Rule: A reading of 0.000V indicates a dead short. If found on APC or MEM rails, isolate
whether the short is inside PM6375 or the SM6375 CPU using low-voltage DC injection (0.9V – 1.0V)
and thermal imaging or rosin vapor.
B. Hot Testing (Live Operating Voltage Verification):
1. Connect stabilized bench DC power supply at 4.0V to battery terminals.
2. Measure VPH_PWR on filter capacitors surrounding PM6375: Must measure solid 4.0V DC.
3. Check Power Key contact: Must read steady 1.8V DC.
4. Press Power Key and measure voltage on all surrounding buck inductors:
- CPU Core coils must output 0.75V – 0.90V.
- Memory rail (VDD_MEM) must output 1.125V.
- Modem core must output 0.80V.
5. Verify PS_HOLD test point: Must rise from 0V to 1.8V and stay locked high. If PS_HOLD drops back
to 0V after 1–2 seconds, inspect the CPU/RAM combo and UFS storage chip.
5. REWORK, REBALLING & INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Thermal Shielding & Precautions:
* Protect the adjacent Snapdragon 695 CPU, UFS storage chip, and RF front-end components with polyimide
(Kapton) tape and thick aluminum thermal foil to prevent heat damage or solder ball bridging.
- Chip Desoldering (Removal):
* Apply premium non-corrosive tacky BGA flux around PM6375.
* Set hot air station to 320°C with 45% airflow.
* Move nozzle in smooth concentric circles. As soon as all solder balls liquefy, lift the IC vertically
with precision micro-tweezers. Never force or pry the chip to avoid lifting delicate PCB pads.
- PCB Pad Dressing & Cleaning:
* Flatten solder pads using copper desoldering wick and a chisel-tip soldering iron set to 300°C.
* Clean thoroughly with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and verify under microscope for missing or bridged pads.
- Reballing & Installation:
* Mount PM6375 into a 0.12mm dedicated stencil and apply 183°C leaded solder paste.
* Heat gently at 290°C – 300°C until perfect, uniform solder spheres form.
* Apply a microscope-thin film of flux to motherboard pads, align Pin 1 corner indicator dot with the
silkscreen indicator, and reflow at 310°C until the IC self-aligns. Allow the board to cool naturally.
