SUNSHINE SS-905H SE Android Phone Series Power Cable

Current draw is the most useful number on an Android board repair, and the SUNSHINE SS-905H SE is designed around it. Besides powering the phone without a battery, it has an ammeter interface for connecting an external meter.

The SS-905H SE is a power cable from SUNSHINE for Android phones, naming Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, Samsung, Honor and HTC among others. It has built-in identification technology so the phone accepts the power source, overvoltage and reverse-connection protection and a flexible anti-bend FPC cable.

When the SS-905H SE is worth using

• No power or boot failure on an Android phone.

• A short that shows up as abnormal current.

• Boards that won't boot on a basic cable because they can't see a battery.

• Refurbishment testing without fitting batteries.

Reading the current

Connect a meter through the ammeter interface and watch startup closely. The listing recommends combining it with a multimeter, thermal camera and microscope for advanced fault finding, which is sound advice: current tells you there's a problem, and heat shows you where.

Use a proper DC supply set to the correct voltage, and avoid sharp bends or pulling on the FPC.
