Does a dead motherboard impact charging and battery health?
Newby repairer question here:
My friend recently gave me his Galaxy A13 that according to him just stopped working one day. With about 50% battery the screen simply went black and it hasn't powered on since.
I connected a charger and could see that it was drawing and holding charge, I suspect this is probably due to a dead motherboard. But it got my wondering, whilst I'm aware they're totally separate components, would a dead motherboard have any impact on a phone drawing or holding charge?
UPDATE @oldturkey03 These are the best I could do. Everything looks fine to my untrained eye. Hoping you can shed some light on the situation. Also apologies for the delay have been on holiday
Is this a good question?
