Hello!
I want to tell all the owners of the wonderful Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphones about the sudden death syndrome.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 turned off. It seemed like the battery had gone down, but after various attempts
Turn on the phone, found out by the method of googling that the phone is dead.

Deaths from Sudden Death Syndrome (aka Sudden Death Syndrome, aka SDS) are susceptible to devices:
a) having 16 GB of memory on board,
b) having an eMMC chip VTU00M
c) having a firmware version of the chip 0xF1
g) having installed OS Android 4.1.1.
To find out if your device is at risk of this, download this
application .
It will require root rights, but they are needed for the test. Everything you need will seem without root rights.
If your smartphone has a buggy chip that calls SDS, then the screen will look something like this:
This happened a couple of weeks ago with my friend’s smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3, although he didn’t install any custom firmware or even root-rights. And I was constantly on the official firmware from Samsung, upgraded from the ICS version to Jelly Bean. Samsung does not officially recognize that there is a problem, but after contacting the service center, we witnessed that we were not the first with such a problem, and there are a lot of such calls to the Samsung call center lately.
It turns out that for no reason the motherboard in Galaxy S3 and Note 2 dies.
Samsung should change them for free, but the Official Service Center refers to non-warranty repair and they want to replace the board at about 8000r.
Replacing the board from a friend was on the board again the old sample, but because the smartphone may die again after a few months, or even earlier.
Samsung service centers
refuse to free repair the device, although the factory defect is evident .
Be careful and check your pet for SDS exposure.
If you encounter the same problem and decide to rearrange the board yourself from the donor phone, then the detailed instructions have already been written by the user.
