Hello /diy/,
My phone is dead..
I assembled Samsung Galaxy S5 from two broken ones, one of which was water damaged, but screen worked fine. The other one had a fully working phone except the OLED display. The first time I assembled this phone, I didn't fasten the screws thight enough and the camera didn't work. I didn't really care and I used it for half a year in daily use. Recently, I reassembled it, replaced front camera and the back camera from water damaged one. I tested the two before and these did work fine, but after this recent reassembly, my phone literally died. At first, it displayed greenish Samsung logo and it slowly faded away. I thought, that it was a display connection issue, so I made sure, it's properly connected. Then I held the power button down for a minute (Sometimes, it fixes hardware issues) and then inserted the battery again and switched it on. It seemed normal at first, but as soon as the yellow text "warranty bit void" apoeared, it quickly switched off. I was scared and I quickly removed the battery and I've tried reassembling again and then powering on but with no luck.
Is it static electricity damage?

No one will be able to tell you because no one is able inspect the fucking thing over the internet. It could be a million different things.

What should I try? How to diagnose it?

Try another battery and see if it is battery
If it is not then meter all the connections and check for broken ribbon cables
if it the cables or battery is good then there could be broken solder in the board, put into oven to reflow
if that doesn't fix it, then it is dead

Uhh... Put the old camera back in. If you NEED the camera, update the firmware and try again. Manufacturers change shit all the time, did you check for manufacturing dates and hardware changes?

The phone will turn on without camera. Green fading simptom is usualy faulty display power supply chip on mainboard. If message is "warranty bit void 0x00" then the phone is OK , if it is "warranty bit void 0x01" then the phone is rooted or memory coruption in (try uploading new software/firmware).

There may be no point in adding new firmware as it worked before. Although if it really is a memory corruption and the bootloader is fine then I could easily fix it.
A few days ago I reassembled this phone, tried turning it on again and it had the same greenish display issue again.
And will this phone work without the charging port board?
>>
I was going to do the same
Open it and get a new charing port on my s5
But I decided to leave it charging over night a couple nights and it started to work fine without issue
Weird circumstance
>>
There is another option
When u open the battery cover on your s5
There's a slot for a attachment that goes inside and cover almost the whole back of u r phone you put back the cover and you can charge your phone wireless
I've looked into too but mehhh.
