i went to xiaomi service center they said they dont know why does it happen...i was lucky as it was on warranty....i was using phone normal...it was in my pocket when i felt heat...i took the battery out as soon as i felt heat...it vibrate and heats up like no limit...i guess there is nothing we can do
Thank for your notice sir. I only want to know what part that was broken and want try my best
Exact issue was faced by friend too.
He was using Redmi 2 (1GB)
He faced sudden heat in his pocket.
He tried to turn the light on.
But it wasn't turning on.
So he removed battery, tried with my phone's battery. But the issue wasn't fixed.
So he leaved the device for sometime.
After sometime.
There was some burning smell coming from phone.
And the place under camera was heating alot.
He went to service center. They demanded around ₹2000 saying that the device's motherboard is dead. (As the device wasn't in Warranty)
But he declined them.
After that, He got his device repaired from a shop outside.
Which costed him ₹700.
And till now, he's using his device, with No Issues.
--------------
• This issue was faced by many Redmi 2 (1GB) users.
• Earlier There were some reports also.
That in China, many users faced this issue.
So Xiaomi allowed them Free Service for their device in China.
• But in India and other Non-China places, there's no Free service. We gonna have to pay for it.
Same place where my phone got heat too.
Is your friend phone get a good motherboard? And the performance still same?
What is your friend say when he want go to outside shop? My phone is on a distributor warranty but the distributor is not good so i think i will try to repair it on outside shop but i scare it will take expensive cost

He didn't got his motherboard changed.
Only a part (called IC) was replaced.
AND yes, the performance was same.
No improvement/degradation.

Where do you live?
I guess, you live where Xiaomi don't sell it's products.. right?
As you purchased from a reseller.
I think.
Try it once at outside shop.
Ask them, the phone is not booting up.
Also, heating from back.
They will see it, and will tell you the charges and the part that will be replaced.
My friend asked the shopkeeper, that what they replaced?
The shopkeeper said, the main IC was burned up. So they have replaced it.
But bro, as you're repairing your phone from outside.
Please make sure that, the shop is trusted one.
As some of the shopkeeper in today's time, replace the original parts of our device with some old/duplicate parts.
So beware of that.
Yes you right, there is no xiaomi here i bought this from reseller, okay i will try to repair it in outside shop and tell the main ic is broken, thank u bro

I just plugged my Focus to my laptop and after a while when I was going to make a call I noticed it was dead. Tried pulling the battery out and then putting it back on and nothing, what happens is that it vibrates more than the usual when I try to turn the phone on, but it is still dead.
Then I took the battery out again, then put it back on, tried the 3 button hard reset and the screen showed a lot of blue lines in the center of the screen and you can see the SAMSUNG logo but not so clearly.
While I was trying everything to solve the issue, I noticed a strange smell coming from the battery and the pins where the charge goes through the phone. But just the smell, no liquid or something similar.
I am in Costa Rica, so I can't take it to an ATT store. Any suggestions? Someone with a similar problem?
I am one of the few other blessed individuals to have my Focus go haywire and stop working. Only difference is mine would do random hard resets, and then eventually it stopped loading into the phone and stuck on the Samsung logo with crazy vibrations going on. I just sent my phone to the Samsung repair center last week.
At this point, you may want to just call up Samsung directly and talk to them about it. More than likely it will be covered under the manufacturers warranty.
1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864)
Since you’re in Costa Rica I’m not sure how they would handle it, so I can’t help you there.
Thanks for the info. Yes my Focus was working great, I bought it like 6 months ago and not a single issue until yesterday.
I am not sure if I am covered by any warranty, because I bought it through eBay, so I think not even Samsung directly is covering me...
Well thanks for the help!

If the date of manufacture is less than a year then just call them up and try. I wouldnt mention ebay though.

I actually traded my Samsung Captivate with someone for their Focus on Craigslist. I just sent in my Focus last week to the repair center, and apparently it's already ready, and most importantly covered. I think the end of August marks the one year mark of the Manufacturer’s warranty just an FYI.
Just like jaraya13 said below... do not mention Ebay. Just say you received the phone as a gift. I told them my family member could not find the receipt since they purchased the phone 8 months ago

Woww this method sounds good! I am going to try something similar. Thanks a million!
My OnePlus 2 just 1 month old got damaged by water and service center is asking for 80% of the phone amount to get it fixed. As per them the motheboard needs to be replaced.
What I want to know from community:
Is there any way I can give it a try to make it fix as anyhow its dead so I am ready to perform any kind of experiment
Is there any one who wants to give it a try, I would be ready to pay if that works
Is there any one who wants to have this device for their research or R&D work in low cost?
Is there any one who just wants individual parts so I can have some amount to buy a new phone
Is it totally unresponsive?

Yes its not responding at all.
If you are in India, what I would suggest is to buy accidental protection coverage which you can buy for 1200 Rs from amazon and then taking it to service after a week or two... Please go through their terms and conditions before purchasing the service.
you could put the phone without the backcover in a box full of rice, the rice will than suck out all the moisture still in the phone (takes a couple of days).
then hook up the charger and see what happens.
it helped me once with a nokia phone.
Strange!, I had it completely drenched in rain but still no problem whatsoever. May be you can try keeping it under the sun for sometime and see if that helps.
UPDATE 1/14/2017
So after calling uncountable times from Uruguay to Google, Best Buy and Huawei. I finnaly made some progress. I call Huawei and they told me that if I was still on the warranty period they will help me with my device. So they asked me for some photos of the phone and a copy of the recipt of my purchase. After 3 days of waiting I recive a mail with a label from UPS to send my phone, I was really surprised because the payed for a shippment by plane of 130 dollars. I sent the phone and they told me that in a few days they will email me back telling me if my phone it's able for a repair or the will replace and upgrade my phone, (by adding extra memory). I'll keep up to date this post.
BTW thanks to all of you who tried to help me!
A week ago my phone just simply turn off and never boot up again. The ONLY thing that i notice its that the phone was making a electric sound near the top speaker, but the phone didn´t turn on the red light. So i take it to a third party phone repair service and they told me that the motherboard was dead and they couldn´t fix it because here (in URUGUAY) there are no parts for this phone. So im asking u what to do. Send the phone back tu USA to a repair service, buy a new motherboard and repair it by myself.
IMPORTANT: The phone has lees than a year but i buy it on a travel tu USA so the warranty here in Uruguay doesn´t do anything.
Sorry for my english!
Thank U

Work on EUR (ITA) only?
My phone just stopped functioning about a 3 months ago. It would just bootloop without access to bootloader or anything. I called Google (3times) and finally they gave me a new one. The first two wanted me to mail it to huawei for 4 weeks without a phone. The 3rd was american and shipped me one. Its probably a doable repair only that the back its a ***** to get off I think. I'd do it myself

Motherboard issue
Hey guys,
I'm from India and I got the Nexus 6P when it was launched. After I got the phone, around a month later I got the phone replaced as it had some battery problems. Now the present scenario is 4 days ago the phone was acting pretty weird. The camera app wasn't opening and it would close saying there's an error. The fingerprint sensor was very very slow. If there was an incoming call it would just vibrate and the screen would be still off. I took it to the Huawei service center and left it there. Now there are saying the motherboard is damaged and they are asking 20000 INR (approx 300 USD). Now the thing is there isn't a single scratch as I had used it in a very careful way and haven't done anything thing to it.The warranty is also expired. I literally feel scammed as paying so much for a phone and it's lifetime is just around 1 and half year. It sucks tbh. And paying so much for that motherboard is useless because even if I sell it the market price for second hand Nexus 6P is less.
Please help me out guys.
Thank you.

Having the same problem as yours bro. But they asked me 14000 INR. So I happened to give it to third party service center and they tried to solve the problem, in fact the phone booted up and now it's in bootloop and they suggested me to take it to authorized service center as they couldn't solve the bootloop issue and they say it's a software issue (they took 2200 INR). Hope it gets solved through the software. I'll update when they give an update. If this doesn't work, i'll just buy a pixel 2

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread.
Anyways, my phone lasted 1 year and 2 months, so basically the phones are clocked to fail after warranty.
I suggest you try the 4 core boot image fix if the phone is bootlooping. Have been running it for few months with this jugaad.
Nexus 6p- dead after 1 yr 9 months
Same problem has happened with me. The phone is now dead after using it for 1 year 9 months. Means 43000 for 1 year 9 months.
Please help me out as the huawei service centre is asking for 18k rs. Why i should pay for the problems that everyone is facing after i browsed the forums pages and lot of other websites.
I feel cheated after purchasing this phone. I was alot positive for nexus series. But they are waste.
Even the google support didnt gave a proper reply
Even i am facing the same issue . I also go to know from the service centre that they already had 30 such complaint. The phone was not physically damaged . This is not fare to pay 20,000 INR when we are not responsible for the issue .

Hello @kat19, the problem seems to be completely hardware and I should replace my botherboard in order for my phone to work. Since it costs too much for the replacement, I sat quiet and planning on buying a new Pixel 2 device. There is nothing I can do with the software for the device to work.

if you have a friend in the USA they can request a warranty repair for you if you can get it to them

Is your bootloader unlocked? Have you tried flashing the 4 core boot image?
Hi everybody, i need help about replace the motherboard of my galaxy note 4. I will do it because i think that the eMMC of my device is completely messed, i've tried everything in modding but nothing help, the device it's barely usable, it keep rebooting and it lag, only if i use the app to keep the cpu awake it's usable. Plus it doesn't read the sim card anymore. All started when one day, totaly random, it do a factory reset by itself and i lost EVERYTHING in the phone. So i see that on aliexpress they sell motherboard for my n910f, if i buy and replace the one i have now, it should all work without any problem? thanks for any advice
ps: sorry for my bad english, i'm italian

I can confirm that once you get the eMMC read failure messages there isn't any coming back from it unless you either A) Replace the eMMC itself or B) Replace the Motherboard. Since trying to micro-solder an eMMC chip would be way to difficult for most people out there (myself included, I cant solder for s***) the motherboard replacement would be the way to go.
I did try all the "fixes" here on XDA I could find, but none worked. Flashing the full recovery software in Odin took AGES (15 + minutes, it never took me that long, plus then 20 minutes to even boot)
Finding the part is one thing, installing it is another. I have never tried replacing a phone motherboard but my main concern would be if the board is unlocked, or atleast knowing the carrier it was locked to in order to get a valid unlock code somewhere online.
I was told by a few repair shops locally that its totally possible to replace the motherboard but there was a risk the screen would also break (So a replacement may be needed there as well). Honestly it might have been that they just didn't have very good luck with taking these Note 4's apart without damage or they just were inexperienced. But in the end for me when my first Note 4 hit the eMMC error, I sold it for parts (sPen, Screen, battery ect) and bought another Note 4 second hand
Theres a ton a speculation about this chip issue, be it heat killing them, consistant flashing or just a bad batch of chips used and now failing over time.

thanks for the reply! ok so, i must have to buy the motherboard. I've find one interesting on aliexpress, 55$ and full unlocked (at least they said that), replace it isn't very hard cause you don't have to take the screen off, just the rear parts of the phone (i've already did it when i change the headphone jack), so Tomorrow i order it and when it arrive i will tell you if it works i hope so at least

Best of luck with it and hopefully the swap goes well. I probably could have tried finding parts but the 910W8 model is different I guess.
I have replaced a mainboard with one from aliexpress, which generally worked fine, but for done reason my gps didn't work. Not sure if that was a problem with the board or just some connector not during properly?
Regarding the emmc error, I've actually managed to revive the old board after it had been sorry of bricked by the previous owner in a failed flashing attempt by putting it in the fridge while flashing the firmware with Odin (on xda someone suggested this, they actually say to put it in the freezer for a while, but I don't have a freezer and putting it in the fridge and taking it out for flashing want enough). It still has the error, but seemed to run relatively ok with a wakelock app preventing the CPU from falling asleep.
Though I get your idea, it feels safer to have a fully working mainboard.
The only problem buying a motherboard is from other sources other than Samsung you not sure if the MBA are brand new. I would say go to Samsung and pay for a new MBA and they will write your original serial number and IMEI to the new MB and you get a warranty..
Just replaced a mainboard...
Bought more than a year ago a faulty Note 4 thinking it was one with a faulty screen as the blue LED and vibrator would come on while pushing the start button and the phone was recognized by my PC. Turned out to be a faulty MB and while trying to replace the MB I damaged the screen.
So I ended putting all on the shelf. Meanwhile bought a note4 for my wife and figured that the spare MB could serve her phone in case it would go bad...Then recently stumbled upon a faulty note 4 where the owner claimed it was one with a faulty MB. The asking price was ok so I ended up buying it and fitting the spare MB. I was lucky in a way that the previous owner already swapped the display so it came apart very easy. I did put all in place using the OEM tape ordered specially for the Note 4. It is a fact that this MB is manufactured in Feb 2015 so it could be well that in the near future it fails although when checking the chip with the app it tells me I have a sane ship...

You should search for videos on replacing the MB in the Note 4; it seems to be fairly involved and you run the risk of causing additional damage to your phone.
Samsung in the US is replacing MBs for about $50 to $150. I got mine replaced (plus a bunch of other repairs) for $70 (which is about the same cost of a MB through AliExpress). Samsung paid the postage for me send my phone to Samsung Service in Plano, TX, they then diagnosed the problems and said they would fix it for $70 or they would return the phone without repairing it at no charge. My phone was over two years old and out of warranty. I had them repair the phone and it was returned in like new condition and it is still working great. The entire process took about 10 days.
You may want to contact Samsung Customer Service directly (in the US call 1-800-SAMSUNG) and see if they are willing to look at your phone and hopefully make any needed repairs.

Thanks for the info will try it, my note 4 will not even
finish booting anymore. It is alteady out of warranty hope they don't mind it is rooted.
There are plenty of video's on you tube on how to. Look at them, look at different video's to get as much info as needed. Don't mess around with you screen, just replace the mainboard and you will be ok! Mine still goes very strong, its GPS is working very well even indoors. I owed a few Note 4's and this is the first one where the GPS is usable. Putting both note's side by side...well one GPS gets a fix and the other one.......well is useless! Did the same with a Note 2 where I replaced a faulty mainboard and this thing has the fastest GPS I ever seen. This Note was due to be sold but I have decided to hang on to it a bit longer...
Hi I am Samsung Note 4 user I have a problem since yesterday it is not registering on 4G or Lte Network only 2G is working. I tried lot but could not fix this problem. I changed the setting LTE/WCDMA but still it is not registering. Can and body helps me to resolve this issue. even I format my phone also by the problem could not rectified. I visited Samsung Center they are saying there is problem in motherboard. for replacement it costs 280$ in India which is very huge.

Samsung paid the postage for me send my phone to Samsung Service in Plano, TX, they then diagnosed the problems and said they would fix it for $70 or they would return the phone without repairing it at no charge. My phone was over two years old and out of warranty. I had them repair the phone and it was returned in like new condition and it is still working great. The entire process took about 10 days.
You may want to contact Samsung Customer Service directly (in the US call 1-800-SAMSUNG) and see if they are willing to look at your phone and hopefully make any needed repairs.

$50 to $150 is a pretty big range considering whatever caused these issues is originally still on Samsung itself for cheaping out. I thought about going the AliExpress route but I've never bought from there before and their site isn't the easiest to navigate...seems every seller with reviews is selling used boards (questionable lifespan?) and the ones with no reviews appear to have brand new ones, but are these brand new with the same old issue, so we're buying boards with borrowed time or is there a chance they're ones that won't have this issue. One could only hope that the new ones via AliExpress AND the ones being installed through Samsung have been revised to not have this issue, but we may never know until it takes a dump in another 3-4 years like the original phones appear to last.
I bought my phone used via Craigslist, so I hope that isn't their justification for additional gouging.
Hi all,
Looks like this guy on YouTube was experiencing the EXACT same issue that we're all experiencing (random restarts, boot loops, bricked phone, etc.) as a result of motherboard. I'm thinking about ordering one of the N910T motherboards off Aliexpress and hope for the best. I can't even restart my phone anymore...and I know my phone batteries are fully charged.
Seems like it works...I'm just nervous about taking it apart!
Regards,
Jeff
HI
i had troubles with my Note 4 lately, blocking and restarting randomly,
baked the motherboard in an oven and it worked great again but only for a 1 whole day then it only shows blue notification light when trying to turn on,
tried the baking today again at a bit higher temperature 200c for 10 min,
and it is completely dead now,
i am looking to buy another 910F board but reading the feedback on aliexpress seems like they are all baked, people are not satisfied, it works for a very short time,
dont know what to do,
can i put some other version like 9100 dual, some other that has better chips(not heating so much) exynos instead snapdragon or something like that?
Anyone faced any problems with their Note FE? Mine will randomly crash and reboot. On average about 5 times an hour.
I tried to reset thinking it was a software problem or a 3rd party app problem. But even after reset it is the same. Only when I put my device into safe mood, the problem doesn't occur at all.
I sent it to Samsung for a diagnosis and they told me is motherboard problem. But a third party repair shop say they can locate the problematic chip and swap it out without changing the entire motherboard.
Wanna know your thoughts on it?
Is it advisable to go for the cheaper option from 3rd party repair shop?
Had anyone faced this issue and how did you solve the problem?
It's been 4 months and my device still rocking.
IMO for your case, it's covered by warranty isn't it? If that so, Samsung service is the right one. Otherwise you have to make sure that the third party repair shop is trustworthy.

It occurred 9 days after the 1 year warranty ended.... Nice
I say go and bug them anyway. If it's within one month after warranty ends you can argue that it's unfair you have to pay for something like this, especially since it's so soon after warranty, it's suspicious, like they planned it. Most times they will honour it.
Resurrecting this thread.... This happened to me just recently. I've had my phone for about 21 months. My FE started freezing then rebooting over the course of 3 days. Tried everything - clear cache partition, factory reset, etc. It happened over and over again. Sent it to Samsung and they said it was a motherboard problem. That there was high current when they tested it and it's causing a ground. I couldn't find any other shop (that I trusted) here where I live to repair it except for the service center. The only option is to replace the motherboard and lcd but it's too costly.... It's practically the price of a new mid range phone. So I just decided to buy a new phone.
I'm kinda relieved to hear that my situation is not a one-off. Maybe we got the lemons of the bunch? Remember, the FE is the refurbished Note 7 that they had to recall cause of battery issues. The guy at the service center told me that the ground in the motherboard could have been caused by draining the battery, overcharging or using power banks. Not sure if that's true though, but I can see a relation to the previous battery issue with the Note 7.
This is good info since I bought FE as a backup phone 5months ago.

mine facing the same problem. it keep restarting until the battery done.
anyone already find how to fix this issue?
Same motherboard problem after using for almost 2 years. Send to SC & all data is gone. 3rd time on Note motherboard problem, previously Note2 & Note4. It's time to say good to Samsung. Can't afford to lost all the data again.
I just saw this thread and it seams that struggling to find the reason of the crashes through software was to no avail. I started by posting a bug in FloydQ V6.0 ROM here, and after a lot of debugging it seams that I'll join you guys in this thread after years of usage.
I'll be sending it for repair tomorrow. For those who had it fixed by a third party service without motherboard replacement, what was the exact problem in the board? and how much did it cost compared to motherboard replacement?
I'm able to use the device lightly in maximum power saving mode, and the device is more likely to crash and restart when connected to a charger.
