ID: 157867

Description: This repair is for if your S6 Edge does not...

Steps:

1. Remove the two 2.5mm Phillips #00 screws.

2. Using the pointed end of spudger, pry up the small section of daughterboard secured with a light adhesive.

3. Lift the daughterboard up and away from the body of the phone to remove it.

4. First step: Protect the mother board with Kapton tape, and start scraping the epoxy using a sharp soldering iron otherwise we cannot desolder. ​

5. Second step: bring the hot air soldering station close at a temperature of approximately 350 °C and 20% airflow, then pull gently with the tweezers. It might have been more than 350 °C: if it doesn't come off immediately (3 seconds), remove the iron, increase by 10 degrees, and try again. You must not stay too long.

6. Step 3 clean: Pass the braid to desolder, do not hesitate to add fresh tin to facilitate absorption, and add flux, before cleaning with a cotton swab. Finally also scrape off any epoxy residue

7. Install the connector. You can check the pinout against the photo and trim the legs that might interfere with placement, depending on the connector model you have on hand. Add solder paste to each connection. Finally, solder at the appropriate temperature for your solder.

8. Final step: using a cable with a stripped male plug, you can check that each wire has continuity and, most importantly, that there are no solder bridges (short circuit).
