Hi situ. Need some help for my friend. I suspect his s3 motherboard is faulty. His phone at the moment is unable to charge. Even with charger connected the battery will drop. Only way to charge is to switch off the phone but that also will increase a bit over night. Never full. I swapped cables for him still sane problem. Tested his battery on my s3 then charging seemed normal. What may be the problem? How much does it cost to replace motherboard? Btw he sent for warrant and they factory reset the phone and said charging is normal.

Must be a charging port problem, if send to Samsung, will need motherboard replacement to fix. Too risky to DIY fix the port (search on XDA). Try again and see if can claim warranty, Many months ago, I saw a woman at the Petaling Jaya Service Center complain she has come and send phone/cable for warranty 3 times already but still not fix slow charging (must not have replaced her motherboard, maybe just factory reset and change charger/cable); if she can do it, you can too biggrin.gif

Need to avoid getting sweat/water on the bottom of the phone... but should just try claim for warranty anyway until you get a rejection.

Thank for feedback. Problem is his warranty finished d. So wanna know how much they charge for mobo replacement?
Or better buy new phone?
