Android Central Question
Hi, I need help fixing my phone. So recently, it stopped being able to charge. I did some research and I figured the issue was the charging port.
The video I followed said to make sure I get the right chip which I figured was between the GT-i9500 and the GT-i9505. I even opened up the phone and cross referenced the design with the shop, just to make sure it was the right piece.
Out of my own foolishness, I had not realized that the chip name was written on the chip.
Long story short, I bought the chip that looked identical to my previous one but my phone still didn't work.
Then I came across a video that mentioned the chip names and it's location. So I double checked. My previous one was "Rev 0.8" and the one I had bought was "Rev 0.7". The wording above is also different. My original chip had gt-i9500mda while the new one only had gt-i9500.
All the cables and bits were identical though - like the gold plates on the chips I counted them all before buying.
Did I make a mistake, and do I need to buy the Rev 0.8 instead or is the issue something else?
I hope I can get an answer here but if I can't could you point me in the right direction where I can online? Maybe a discord or another site.
Thank you.
