Power IC
The chip that manages power across your entire Samsung
The Power IC (Integrated Circuit) is a chip on the Samsung logic board that manages power distribution to all components. It controls charging from the USB-C port, manages voltage delivery to the CPU and display, and monitors the battery. A faulty Power IC causes no charging, no power-on, or abnormal battery drain — even with a new battery and clean charging port.
Why It Matters For Your Repair
Power IC failure is a board-level fault requiring microsoldering — not a simple battery or port replacement. A skilled technician can replace just the Power IC chip under a microscope, saving significant cost versus replacing the entire logic board. Always get a chip-level diagnosis before agreeing to a board replacement.
