3. TYPICAL BOARD-LEVEL FAULT SYMPTOMS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- No Charging / 0.00A Current Draw on USB Ammeter:
* Phone is plugged into charger, but draws 0.00A or stops at 5V 0.05A. Internal VBUS switching FET
failure or burned input OVP stage inside PM8350BHS.
- Fake Charging (Charging Animation Present but Battery Drains):
* Display indicates charging lightning bolt icon, but battery percentage stays fixed or decreases.
Current sense resistor lines (CSN/CSP) open or buck switching inductor solder failure.
- Completely Dead Phone Due to VPH_PWR Main Line Short:
* Internal high-side MOSFET breakdown shorts VPH_PWR directly to ground. Motherboard draws full short-circuit
current (e.g. 2.0A - 3.5A) upon connecting DC power supply, causing PM8350BHS to heat up severely.
- Camera Flash Failure or Instant Restart on Shutter:
* Flashlight cannot be turned on; opening the camera and taking a photo with flash causes immediate brownout
shutdown or system freeze.
- Battery Temperature Error Warning:
* Phone displays "Charging paused: Battery temperature too high / too low" even with a known-good battery,
caused by damaged analog-to-digital converter (ADC) monitoring channels inside the PMIC.
4. STEP-BY-STEP MULTIMETER TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Cold Testing (Diode Mode Check - Board Powered Off, Battery Disconnected):
1. Place multimeter in Diode Mode. Connect RED probe to motherboard Ground shield (GND):
- USB VBUS Input Filter Capacitors: Normal ~480mV – 650mV.
- VPH_PWR / VSYS Main Inductor & Bypass Caps: Normal ~320mV – 460mV (must NOT read 0.000V).
- Battery Positive Terminal (VBAT): Normal ~420mV – 540mV.
- Flash LED Anode / Boost Inductor: Normal ~450mV – 580mV.
- SPMI Serial Data & Clock Lines: Normal ~450mV – 530mV (matched within 15mV).
- Battery Thermistor Sense Line (BATT_THERM): Normal ~600mV – 750mV.
2. Short-Circuit Isolation:
- If VPH_PWR reads 0.000V (dead short), inject 3.7V DC (limited to 2.0A) onto the VPH_PWR coil.
Observe board with thermal camera or rosin smoke: if PM8350BHS instantly glows hot, remove the IC.
B. Live Operating Voltage Check (Hot Testing):
1. Connect 5V USB charger into Type-C port:
- Check VBUS input capacitors adjacent to PM8350BHS: Must measure steady 5.0V – 5.2V DC.
- Check VPH_PWR switching inductor: Must immediately output stable 3.7V – 4.2V DC.
2. Measure VBAT connector pins:
- With battery disconnected, voltage at battery terminals must pulse between 3.6V and 4.2V as the
charger searches for battery detection.
3. Trigger phone power button:
- VPH_PWR must remain rock-solid above 3.6V without sagging. If VPH_PWR drops below 3.0V on boot attempt,
PM8350BHS internal switching regulation has degraded.
5. SOLDERING, REBALLING & REWORK SPECIFICATIONS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Adjacent Component Thermal Protection:
* PM8350BHS sits in close proximity to the Qualcomm SM8350 CPU/UFS stack and companion PM8350 PMIC.
* Always shield surrounding silicon with multi-layer Kapton heat tape and thick copper coins to absorb heat.
- IC Removal:
* Dispense high-purity, non-corrosive RMA tacky BGA flux around the chip perimeter.
* Hot air rework station settings: 320°C – 330°C with 40% – 50% airflow (medium-wide nozzle).
* Apply gentle circular motion. When solder joints liquefy completely, lift the IC vertically using fine tweezers.
- Pad Preparation & Cleaning:
* Apply leaded solder to pads to lower the melting point.
* Clean pads level using fine copper solder wick and a flat chisel soldering tip set to 290°C – 300°C.
* Thoroughly remove flux residues using 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA); inspect pads under microscope.
- Reballing Procedure:
* Use a 0.12mm high-precision middle-layer stencil compatible with Qualcomm PM8350B / PM8350BHS series.
* Squeegee 183°C (Sn63/Pb37) leaded solder paste smoothly into stencil apertures.
* Heat uniformly at 285°C – 295°C with low airflow (20%) until shiny, perfect solder spheres are formed.
- Alignment & Installation:
* Coat motherboard PCB footprint with an ultra-thin, uniform layer of liquid BGA flux.
* Align Pin 1 orientation marker accurately with the motherboard silk-screen corner marking.
* Reflow at 310°C – 320°C with 35% airflow. Tap the top of the chip gently with tweezers; it must rebound
freely due to solder surface tension (self-centering action).
* Allow logic board to cool naturally to room temperature before reconnecting battery or USB power.
