Overview
How we handle charging port replacement.
Your charging port handles power, data, and sometimes audio, and it collects lint, debris, and oxidation (corrosion from moisture) over time. Before replacing anything, we plug in a USB ammeter to measure how much current the phone actually draws, which tells us whether the port, the cable, or a deeper board-level fault is to blame. Depending on your model, the port sits on a replaceable charging flex or daughterboard, or is soldered directly to the logic board, where we use micro-soldering to replace it. Every repair is tested for USB Power Delivery (PD) fast charging and data sync.
What's included
- USB ammeter current-draw diagnostic
- Deep cleaning of lint, debris, and oxidation
- Bent-pin repair and re-alignment
- Charging flex or daughterboard replacement
- Micro-soldering for board-mounted ports
- Fast-charge (USB-PD) and data-sync testing
- 30-day parts & labor warranty
Process
How the repair works.
No appointment needed. Here is what happens after you walk in.
- 1
Current-draw test
A USB ammeter shows whether the phone is pulling normal charging power, pinpointing the real fault.
- 2
Cleaning or teardown
We clear compacted lint and oxidation, or open the device to access the charging assembly.
- 3
Repair / replacement
The port flex is swapped, or a board-mounted port is micro-soldered with precision tools.
- 4
Charge & sync testing
We verify fast-charge wattage, wired data transfer, and microphone function before return.
When to visit
Signs you need a charging port repair.
- Charges only at a certain angle
- Cable feels loose or falls out
- Fast charging stopped working
- 'Accessory not supported' or moisture warnings
- Computer won't detect the phone when plugged in
Terms
What our technicians mean.
- USB ammeter
- A small meter that shows how much power your phone draws while charging. It helps us find the real problem before replacing parts.
- Charging flex / daughterboard
- The separate part the charging port is mounted on. On many phones it can be swapped without touching the main board.
- Micro-soldering
- Precision soldering under a microscope, used when the port is attached directly to the phone's main circuit board.
- USB Power Delivery (PD)
- The fast-charging standard used by USB-C phones. A worn port can fall back to slow charging, even with a fast charger.
Questions
Charging Port Repair questions.
Still unsure? Call your nearest store and a technician will help.
Often, yes. Many 'dead' ports simply have compacted lint or light oxidation. We always test and clean first, which costs far less than a replacement.
Yes, we service Lightning, USB-C, and micro-USB ports across all major phone and tablet brands.
Samsung and other devices block charging when the port senses liquid or corrosion. If the warning stays after drying, the port likely needs cleaning or replacement.
