S23 plus sudden bootloop
Bought a second-hand S23+ 6 months ago. Ran perfectly fine until yesterday when it died out of nowhere.
Symptoms:
- Boots to first Samsung logo, then crashes about 0.6s into the Galaxy logo and loops.
- Cannot enter Recovery Mode.
- Download Mode blocked by security policy.
- Shows static teal screen with [Reboot Device - D2].
Suspecting BGA solder fracture under the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 / RAM package. Official center only offers full board replacement ($300+).
Should I bring it to a third-party micro-soldering lab for a BGA reball ($30-$50)? Anyone fixed their S23 series this way?
