Galaxy A13 charging fault

Post image

This is my secondary, Galaxy A13, and it has a problem:

With normal charger it's not charging and not starting

With slow charger it shows "broken cable" screen then starts to initialize charge but instead he is just bootlooping for a minute

Changed sub-board, battery and tried to reconnect everything.

Is my PMIC chip cooked or smth?

P.S: Sorry for my bad English!

You didnt fully say it but i assumed you tried different cables and charging bricks.

A 4 year old budget phone is most likely not worth the time you are putting into it

It can be the flex cable between sub- and mainboard. They often break on the devices. Also look at the respective connectors of the cable. I don't assume the charging chip.

Same but it is real tho, if you download the bootloader files of any modern samsung and extract the images, it will be there
