MT6360RP Power IC

When a Redmi Note 8 Pro or an Oppo Reno2 / Reno3 comes in dead after flash, or charging fine one day and completely unresponsive the next, the MT6360RP power IC is one of the first components you check on the board. This is a MediaTek power management IC (PMIC), and its job is to control how power moves from the charging port and battery into the rest of the motherboard. When it fails, the phone doesn't just lose charging — it can go completely dead, hang on logo, or show random reboots because the CPU and other components aren't getting stable voltage.You'll usually land on this IC after basic checks already ruled out the charger, cable, and battery. If the phone draws no current at all on your power supply, or draws current but never boots past the logo, and the charging port and battery test fine, the power IC becomes the primary suspect. A short on this chip can also pull down the whole power rail, which is why some of these boards show 0V or a dead short on the battery connector before repair.Replacing the MT6360RP is a BGA-level job, not a plug-and-play swap. You're working with a fine-pitch chip, so you need a hot air station with accurate temperature control, proper flux, and a stencil or paste-based reballing setup if you're not soldering it dead-bump. Preheating the board evenly before you go anywhere near the IC matters more than the removal itself — uneven heat is what cracks nearby components or lifts pads on these tightly packed boards. After removal, clean the pad thoroughly before reballing and reflow, since leftover flux residue or misaligned balls are the most common reason a "correct" IC change still doesn't bring the phone back to life.Buy this from a source that actually tests the part before it ships, because a dead-on-arrival replacement IC wastes your bench time and reflow cycles for nothing. This listing is sold as a single tested piece, so you're not opening a bulk tray hoping for a good one.On the workshop side, this IC comes up constantly in Redmi Note 8 Pro repair because of how common board-level charging faults are on that model, and the same part number shows up in aftermarket listings for Oppo Reno2 and Reno3 boards as well. If you run a service center or repair shop that takes in a steady flow of these models, it's worth keeping a few of these in stock rather than ordering one at a time whenever a board comes in — dead phone and charging issue cases on these models are frequent enough that a single unit rarely covers a week's workload.Before you commit to changing the IC, always confirm with a multimeter or power supply that the fault actually traces back to this chip and not a cracked solder joint elsewhere on the power rail, a shorted filter capacitor, or a damaged charging connector. Swapping the IC on a board where the real fault sits somewhere else just costs you time and a good part for nothing.
