I wanted to share an unexpected issue I faced with my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, in case it helps others stay aware.
On 16th August 2025, my phone suddenly became completely unresponsive while in hand. I tried all the usual recovery options (power button, power + volume, safe mode, reset attempts), but nothing worked.
I submitted it to the Authorised Samsung Service Center – S V Communication, Santosh Nagar, Hyderabad.
Job Sheet Number: 4419834430
The team diagnosed it as a motherboard failure.
Estimated repair/replacement cost: ~₹40,000.
This was surprising because:
There was no physical damage or mishandling.
The issue occurred shortly after a recent software update.
I’m sharing this so that other members are aware in case they face sudden shutdowns or unresponsiveness after an update.
Key Takeaways for Members:
If your phone suddenly becomes unresponsive, try the power + volume combinations before rushing to service.
Keep track of job sheet numbers when submitting your phone to service centers.
If a motherboard issue is reported, be aware of the potential high repair costs (~₹40K).
I hope this helps anyone facing similar issues. If other members have had the same experience, would be great to hear how it was resolved.
