Charging IC Repair in Kampala
When a phone won't charge, or charges erratically, even with a new cable and a clean port, the fault is often in the charging circuit on the board. We test it properly and replace the failed charging component under the microscope.
Signs of this fault
- No charging with known-good chargers
- 'Accessory not supported' or charging error messages
- Charging stops and starts
- Phone not detected by a computer
- Battery percentage stuck
How we diagnose it
- Inspect and test the port and charging flex
- Test with a known-good battery
- Measure charging current with a USB meter
- Check charging-line resistance on the board
- Inspect the charging IC area under the microscope
What usually causes it
Failed charging IC
The chip that controls charging can fail after cheap chargers, power surges or liquid.
Damaged port or flex
Ruled out first, because it's the simpler repair.
Battery fault
A failed battery can look like a charging fault.
Corrosion near the charging circuit
Moisture entering through the port.
How we repair it
We replace the failed charging component on the board with a hot-air station, then test charging speed, data connection and battery behaviour.
Limits
If the main processor or a damaged board layer is involved, charging repair may not be possible; we tell you before any work.
No fix, no fee. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay. Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis. If we can’t repair the fault you booked for, there is no charge for the diagnosis or the repair attempt.
Common questions
Which phones need charging IC repairs?
We see them on iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, and many Tecno and Infinix models, often after using poor-quality or high-power chargers.
Will I lose my data?
Board-level charging repairs normally keep your data, though we always recommend a backup if the phone still works.
