S560 Power IC

If an S9 or S9 Plus comes into your shop completely dead — no logo, no vibration, no charging response — check the S560 before you start swapping other components. This chip handles power distribution and regulation on the Galaxy S9 motherboard, and it's a known failure point on both the G960F and G965F variants. A cracked board, a liquid damage case, or even a rough flash session can take it out.Replacing the S560 isn't a job you hand to a beginner. You're desoldering a BGA chip off a densely packed board, cleaning the pads, and reballing a new IC in its exact position without lifting a trace or cooking a neighboring component. Get the temperature profile wrong on your hot air station and you risk turning a power IC repair into a full board replacement job. This is precision rework — the kind of task that separates a board-level technician from someone who just swaps screens and batteries.On the diagnostic side, a dead-after-drop or dead-after-flash S9 doesn't automatically mean the S560 is bad. Run your usual checks first — short circuit test with a DC power supply, current draw reading, thermal camera pass if you have one — before committing to a chip swap. If the board pulls abnormal current or heats up at the power IC location under a bench supply, that's your confirmation. Skipping this step and reballing blind wastes both your time and the customer's money if the actual fault sits elsewhere on the board.Stocking genuine S560 chips matters more than it seems. A counterfeit or mismarked IC might get the phone to power on in your test, then fail again within days — and that comes back to your shop as a redo, not a paid job. For a shop running steady Samsung traffic, keeping verified S560 stock on the bench cuts your turnaround time significantly instead of waiting on a supplier mid-repair.This chip fits into the broader S9 motherboard repair workflow — after power IC replacement, you'll typically want to re-test the board on a test fixture or jig before reassembly, confirm charging behavior, and check the phone holds a charge under load. If your workshop also handles CPU reballing or NAND/eMMC work on Samsung boards, the S560 swap uses the same hot air and BGA rework skill set, so it's a natural extension of that service line rather than a separate specialty.Buy this if you're running a repair shop or service center that regularly sees Samsung Galaxy S9 dead-phone cases and you want a genuine, tested power IC on hand rather than sourcing one after diagnosis.
