* Moto G8, G8 Power, Moto G Fast (Snapdragon 665)
*(Technician Note: In Redmi Note 8 & Redmi 8, 902-00 is the OEM factory standard. Replacing with 502/602
can cause backlight control failure, charging stoppage at 1%, or boot hangs at the Redmi splash logo)*
3. TYPICAL BOARD-LEVEL FAULT SYMPTOMS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Completely Dead Phone (0.00A or 0.02A–0.05A Stuck Current on DC Power Supply):
* Blown internal buck circuit halts VPH_PWR generation. Main PMIC (PM6125) and CPU receive 0V.
- Fake Charging / 0.00A–0.15A Current on USB Charger Doctor:
* Battery charging lightning bolt appears on LCD, but current draw is negligible; battery drains
while plugged in due to damaged high-side charger FET or shorted bootstrap capacitor.
- Complete Backlight Failure (Black Screen, Board Alive):
* Handset vibrates, receives calls, and displays faint graphics under torchlight, but display remains
dark (burned boost diode, boost inductor, or damaged internal backlight switching FET inside PMI632).
- VPH_PWR Short to Ground (0.000V in Diode Mode):
* Punctured high-side buck MOSFET shorts VPH_PWR rail directly to GND, causing bench DC power supply
to instantly beep and trip overcurrent protection on battery connector hookup.
- "Battery Temperature Error / Device Will Shut Down in 30 Seconds" Alert:
* Internal thermistor ADC sensing circuit damaged by voltage spikes on the USB VBUS line.
4. STEP-BY-STEP MULTIMETER TESTING & DIAGNOSTICS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Cold Testing (Diode Mode Check - Board Powered Off, Battery Disconnected):
1. Connect Multimeter RED probe to Motherboard Ground (GND shield), probe points with BLACK probe:
- VBUS Input Filter Capacitor (adjacent to charging IC): Normal ~450mV – 560mV.
- Battery Connector Positive Terminal (VBAT): Normal ~400mV – 480mV.
- VPH_PWR Inductor (large coil directly beside PMI632): Normal ~350mV – 450mV (0.000V = dead short).
- Backlight Boost Inductor / Anode Diode Cathode: Normal ~420mV – 520mV.
- Boot Capacitor (BST): Check across both ends of the capacitor; must show high impedance (no short).
2. Short-Circuit Isolation:
- If VPH_PWR reads 0.000V in diode mode, inject 3.8V DC (limited to 2.0A) directly into the coil.
Observe under thermal camera: if PMI632 illuminates bright white instantly, desolder the chip.
B. Live Operating Voltage Check (Hot Testing):
1. Connect 5V USB charger cable to the phone:
- VBUS Input Capacitor: Must measure steady 5.0V – 5.2V DC.
- VPH_PWR Inductor: Must output steady 3.7V – 4.2V DC (even with battery disconnected).
- Battery Terminal Pins: Must measure pulsed 3.7V – 4.35V DC charging voltage.
2. Power the phone on:
- Backlight Anode Line: Must measure 3.7V in standby, jumping to 18V – 25V DC once the screen
turns on. If it stays at battery voltage (3.7V), PMI632 boost driver or boost diode is defective.
5. SOLDERING, REBALLING & REWORK SPECIFICATIONS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Thermal Protection & Surrounding Components:
* PMI632 is located beneath a soldered metal RF shield near the PM6125/CPU and eMMC/UFS memory.
* Always shield neighboring processor and memory chips with Kapton thermal tape and copper coins.
- IC Removal:
* Apply high-grade RMA BGA tacky flux around the perimeter of PMI632.
* Hot air rework station settings: 320°C – 335°C, airflow 35% – 45% (medium precision nozzle).
* Circle nozzle uniformly for 30–40 seconds. Once all 72 solder joints melt, lift chip vertically.
- PCB Pad Cleanup:
* Apply 183°C (Sn63/Pb37) leaded solder to logic board footprint to lower the eutectic melting point.
* Flatten pad matrix using copper desoldering braid with soldering iron set to 290°C – 300°C.
* Clean thoroughly with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA); inspect pads under microscope for any lifted pads.
- Reballing Procedure:
* Use a dedicated 0.12mm BGA stencil matching the 72-pin PMI632 footprint.
* Spread 183°C leaded solder paste smoothly across all apertures with a flexible scraper.
* Reflow gently at 280°C with 20% airflow until uniform solder spheres form.
- Placement & Alignment:
* Spread a thin, transparent layer of tacky BGA flux onto PCB pads.
* Align Pin 1 dot on the PMI632 chip with silkscreen corner indicator.
* Reflow at 310°C – 320°C with 35% airflow; observe the chip pull into place by solder surface tension.
* Allow motherboard to cool naturally for 3–5 minutes before connecting DC power or battery.
