SM5713 Small Power IC Samsung S10 S10+ A50 A60 Replacement

When a Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, A40, A50, or A60 comes into your workshop with a charging issue, dead phone symptom, or unstable power rail, the SM5713 small power IC is one of the first components worth checking. This chip sits in the device's power management circuit and handles part of the charging and power distribution path on the motherboard. A damaged SM5713 commonly shows up as a phone that won't charge, a board that stays dead after a flash attempt, or inconsistent power delivery to other ICs on the same rail. You'll usually land on this chip after eliminating the charging port, battery connector, and flex cable as the cause. Once you confirm the fault sits on the power IC itself, swapping in a new SM5713 restores the charging path without needing to replace the entire motherboard. This keeps repair costs down for your customer and turns what looks like a dead board into a straightforward IC change. The SM5713 comes in a BGA (Ball Grid Array) package, so installation calls for a proper reballing setup — a hot air station with accurate temperature control, BGA stencil, flux, and a steady hand under the microscope. Rushing the reflow or using inconsistent heat is the most common reason a "new" IC still doesn't fix the board, so keep your preheat and reflow temperatures dialed in for this chip size. This part ships as a genuine replacement chip and drops onto the original footprint without any board-level modification. Since it's designed for the same power circuit position as the original SM5713, you get a direct swap rather than a workaround fix. That matters for boards where customers expect their phone to work exactly as it did before, especially in Samsung's mid-range and flagship S-series and A-series lines that share this power architecture. Before you commit to changing this IC, run a proper diagnosis. Check the board for short circuits, confirm voltage readings on the power rail with a multimeter, and rule out a software-related boot loop or hang-on-logo issue before jumping to a hardware fix. A board that's simply stuck in software won't be fixed by an IC change, and swapping a chip on a board that didn't need it wastes both time and stock. Once you've confirmed the SM5713 is genuinely faulty — through cold solder joints, physical damage, or a short traced back to this chip — the replacement becomes a clean, predictable repair. For repair shops handling volume Samsung work, keeping a few SM5713 units in stock avoids downtime waiting on parts when this specific fault comes in. It's a small investment against a repair that otherwise risks becoming a "phone chala do" callback if the wrong component gets blamed for a charging fault.
Handle the chip with anti-static precautions during storage and installation, since ESD damage before it's even soldered is a common reason a fresh IC fails on first power-up. Store it in its original packaging until you're ready to reball, and inspect the balls under a microscope before placement to catch any shipping damage early.
