1. General 
 
This process describes special repair guidelines which must be observed during the repair 
procedure. 
 
2. Repair 

Guidelines 

 

2.1 

Mobile phone software update 

 

 

 

Do not carry out a software update before repairing a unit! 

 

If a software update is executed before a technician examines a defective phone, 
it is virtually impossible to find out whether a phone with an NDF diagnosis (No 
Defect Found) is correctly labelled NDF, or whether the original defect was 
eliminated with the software update. 

 
 

 

Incoming 

defective phone 

 
Software  
update 

 

Do not carry out a software update before 

repairing a unit! 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

A software update can be carried out 

 

during or after repair of a unit.

2.2 

Replacing uBGA components 

 

 

 

 New uBGA components must be re-glued with the BGA adhesive recommended 
by Samsung after soldering the component. 

 
 

 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Loctite 5313  

 

  

 

 

The same uBGA component can be replaced only once; for this reason,  the 
exchanged uBGA component must be market with a cross (Picture 1). A 
maximum of two µBGA’s per PCB to be changed.

For this purpose, a high-tech marker from EDDING, type XXX, colour XXX, must 
be used. 

 

2.3 

Latest software tools and firmware 

 

 

 

The latest version of any software tools and of the phone firmware must be used 
when repairing mobile phones. 

 
 

It can be downloaded from the following website: 

 
 

http://www.anysvcmobile.com
