Problem description

The main microphone and earspeaker are completely non-functional.

This issue typically arises after severe physical damage, such as heavy drops or bending near the shield area.

Note: You may have already attempted replacing components like the screen, dock, or earpiece, but the issue persists.

Symptoms

  • Unable to hear or speak during phone calls
  • Voice memos either cannot be recorded or are recorded without sound
  • Earspeaker fails the earpiece test in the Samsung service menu
  • Diode readings on the Main FPC Connector and earpiece output are within normal range

Solution


Diagnostic Steps

  • Visible impact damage or dents on the shield near the affected area
Damage near shield












  • Ground pad under the shield is either damaged or torn off with the shield
  • Carefully scrape off the first (ground) layer where shown.
    • If you observe bubbling, lifted fibers, or signs of delamination, proceed with the repair steps
Delamination of 2nd layer












Repair Steps

  • Remove the first (ground) layer in the affected area
  • Access the second layer and carefully remove the damaged and show the traces
Traces exposed of second layer










  • Pretin the traces to make jumpers
  • Mentioned the traces that go to power ic from cpu for sound functions
traces to pmic











  • Use 0.007mm silver jumper wire to reconstruct the connections
  • Clean the area thoroughly
  • Apply UV-curable solder mask to insulate the repair
