Did you know it’s possible to perform a chip transplant on your Samsung S7 Edge onto another motherboard? This little-known operation is highly effective for preserving the condition of your phone’s chips. Even better, it’s less risky than the uncertain repair of the motherboard and can be done in just a few steps. We’ll tell you more in this complete guide.

Why perform a chip transplant on a Samsung S7 Edge (model SM-G935F)?

Like RAM and storage memory, the motherboard is one of the components most exposed to failure in a Samsung S7 Edge. When it becomes defective, it comes with several symptoms such as:

  • Sudden, unexplained shutdowns of the phone
  • Changes in the color of the home screen or wallpaper
  • Connection drops and automatic reconnections
  • Dropped calls, and automatic data transmissions

These malfunctions quickly impair the operation of your Samsung S7 Edge, and put it out of commission. Many people often attempt to repair the motherboard, but this has proven to be a futile action. Indeed, effectively repairing a motherboard, whether it was damaged by oxidation or any other cause, is not realistic. Many repair technicians will try to prove otherwise, but experience has shown that there is no certainty of success for such an operation. However, the chips that govern its overall operation can still be recovered, and their transplant onto a different motherboard is possible.

The transplant performed onto a new motherboard is intended to preserve the functional characteristics of your Samsung S7 Edge. Also known as chipsets, these components ensure proper communication between the various parts of your smartphone. They are therefore essential elements for your device to function properly. At Chronodisk, your data recovery expert, you’ll receive quality service that guarantees your phone is restored to like-new condition. Unlike motherboard repair, which is fraught with uncertainty, the transplant has a success rate of 80%.

How is chip transplantation performed on a Samsung S7 Edge?

Performing this type of chip transplant onto a new motherboard is an operation carefully carried out by a professional. It involves removing the chip and other components such as the processor and Nand memory from the defective or dead motherboard, then placing them onto a motherboard in good condition. During this operation, one must be extremely meticulous and attentive to the smallest detail, in order to avoid damaging any of these components.

To perform the chip transplant on your Samsung S7 Edge, a number of steps must be followed:

  • Step 1: Protect them from high temperatures with suitable adhesive tape. Be careful, however, not to damage the Nand memory, which is sensitive to high temperatures;
  • Step 2: Apply flux around them to make the rest of the operation easier;
  • Step 3: Remove them by heating with a hot air gun at a high temperature (340°C to 350°C);
  • Step 4: Replace the existing solder with low-temperature solder using a hot air gun (340°C to 350°C) and a soldering iron;
  • Step 5: Clean the solder using a soldering iron or desoldering braid. Then finish cleaning it with PCB Cleaner;
  • Step 6: Here, you need to reball the chips using a stencil. It’s best to dry the paste beforehand before carrying out this step;
  • Step 7: This involves applying flux to the mount, then aligning it in the correct position. The whole assembly can then be heated with a hot air gun.

There are other equally effective transplant methods, but this one is fast and inexpensive. It also delivers very satisfactory results.

What role do the motherboard chips play in a Samsung S7 Edge?

They play a decisive role in any electronic device (phone, computer, etc.). Housed on the motherboard, they ensure proper communication between the smartphone’s main components, including:

  • The processor, whose role is to process data;
  • The RAM, which provides temporary data storage;
  • The internal memory, for permanent data storage.

In a Samsung S7 Edge, as in any other smartphone (Galaxy, Tecno, etc.), they manage the flow of data between these various components. They also ensure smooth exchanges between them. This shows just how closely a Samsung S7 Edge’s performance is tied to its operating condition. It sometimes happens that the manufacturer of this device is different from that of the motherboard. But what matters most in a transplant is that their components be compatible.
