Can a USB charging port be replaced?

I have a Samsung charge. If I plug in the USB charger, the phone goes blank and freezes. This occurs even if the charger is not connected to power, so I suspect there is a loose connection or unseated port. If I remove the battery and replace, letting it reboot, with charger plugged in, it will show the battery status bar as not charging. I carry 2 extra batteries with me, checked the other 2. Sames issue, so I doubt it is the battery.

If the phone is still under warranty, you should check into the possibility of a warranty replacement. If it's no longer under warranty, it might be worth contacting a cell phone repair shop to see if replacing the charging port is possible. If they can replace it for a reasonable cost, it could solve your problem. Of course, be sure it's a reputable shop.

  • Curve 8330 usb/charging port issues.

    My 8330 just started to have problems with its usb/charge port. I plugged it in last night before bed like I always do, but when I woke up it hadn't charged a bit and wasn't even recognizing that it had been plugged in. I tried my USB data cable as well, and that didn't register either unless I wiggled the cord around and held it still once it did register. I eventually did get the phone to register that I had plugged it in, but I had to wiggle the cord just so and leave the charger half-way plugged in once I found the sweet spot.
    It is a few years old and pre-owned, but this problem literally just cropped up. I haven't dropped it recently, and I only plug it in once a day. It has no problem holding a charge, but getting it to register the cord is a battle. Do I need to just replace it or is there a way to fix this? There are no other problems, just the port acting up. Thanks!

    You can try contacting Sprint for repair options for your device.

  • Mac Book Pro Power Adapter with USB charge ports?

    Does anyone make a MBP power adapter with 2 USB charge ports? It seems logical to have one power adapter that charge your MBP, iPhone and iPad all at the same time while minimizing the things one would have to carry on travel.

    Hopefully!
    I said to them "you dont even need to put the ports on the brick itself, put it on that little wall plug adapter thingy... that way if you only want to charge your iOS devices you can leave the brick in the bag!... Fingers crossed and thanks again for the help tjk!
    Best,

  • Will You Repair My Cricket Usb Charging Port?

    Alright, here's the gist of it all. My ZTE X500 by Cricket's usb charger port is BROKEN. I have a very difficult time trying to charge my phone, if it'll even try! It's broken at no fault of my own, and I need it fixed ASAP. Should I try to buy a universal charging pad, or can you guys fix it? If you can fix it, how much would that cost and how long would it take? My Cricket is barely a month old. Please HELP! Thanks!
    Solved!

    Bring it to the store to see your options. If they deem the port problem not due to accidental damage, the store might be able to exchange it under manufacturer warranty.

  • Can a charging port be replaced

    My 9 year old son recieved an IPOD Touch 4th generation for his birthday in January 2013.  It will no longer charge, it looks like the pins in the charging port are bent.  Is their a way they can be fixed or replaced?

    However, it is very likely that the damage was causes by misuse like forcing the dock connector in reversed. That is not covered by the warranty.
    In that case
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for the 64 GB one and $99 for the others They do not fix yours.

  • Micro USB/Charging Port...

    Is it possible to use the charging port on the side of my Q10 as an extra data port? Can I use a micro usb drive as an external media storage device and access it through the port when I insert the stick, or is it just a charging port?

    I highly recommend every Playbook owner have a rapid charger. It is far superior to the USB charger and prevents the problem you have already encountered. Alternatively, I prefer the charging dock. It uses the same charging port as the rapid charger. I just bought one a few days ago for $13. Here is a link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Rapid-Charging-Stand-Playbook/dp/B004XDTXZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=...
    It comes with everything you need to charge it. Both chargers do the same thing. I just prefer the dock.

  • Combo built-in power outlet with USB charging ports...

    Are iPhones only fully functional while charging on an OEM plug?  We just installed a combination USB charger into our wall and now the touch screen will not work while it is charging?  Anyone else have this particular situation?  We are using a Legrand Pass & Seymour P/N 340982 Combination USB Charger.

    Seems the charger is the issue... I have never personally had an issue with using my device while charging via any accessory/cable/charger.

  • Melted USB charging port on 920

    I picked my phone up off the desk this morning and tried to remove the USB charging cable from the phone but it wouldn't budge. On close inspection the cable and phones plastic were both melted. Incidentally the other end of the charging cable had been removed from the charger the night before.
    the phone works but the charger cable and phone are fused together. Has anyone else seen such a case? Off to Nokia care to get them to take a look.

    This should not be the cause of the issue.. but instructions on Pg. 8 of the User Guide states exactly the opposite ...

  • My car charger got stuck in my iPod nano's usb/charge port.

    One side releases, but the other feels jammed. I would try ripping it out, but that would risk breaking it to the point where the port is just completely broken. Can Apple fix this problem in anyway? Possibly replacing the iPod or repairing the specific part? I bought this about 2 years ago, it's the nano with the video camera at the bottom.

    Ehh.. nevermind. I just ripped it out and it's fine, but if anyone knows the Apple coverage and can answer the question that'd be chill too.

  • USB charging port broken

    I have to move my chord a specific place or push it in a different way each time to get the connection to charge my playbook. i've been informed it most likely needs to be sent in to be soldered to be fixed... i don't know where to contact anywhere to send it in or anything! help!!!

    Just for future reference, and sanity invest in a rapid charger to prevent this problem. Since the rapid charger uses the magnetic contacts.

  • My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

    my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

    Apple does not repair devices at all.
    As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
    Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
    Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.

  • N97 charger port broken

    I am in desperate need of help.... just broke the USB charging port on my phone and need a replacement. I called Nokia and since the phone is out of warranty they will not repair it even if I was willing to pay. I have tried to search online for replacement parts but unsure what part is the correcet replacement as some company doesnt list any picture of the product or if its pictured its not the same as my phone....
    Appreciate any help provided.....
    thanks
    Tony

    @danspy: I would call or form a complaint to Nokia uk explaining the situation. Writing an objective letter/mail or call them might help you out.
    I've experienced my self that a Nokia care point has done similar to my N95 8gb I had in the past. A quick call with a decent tone, made them recall the device and fix it again with no further questions.
    I actually experienced once that there where sesame seeds in under the lince protective glass on it from one of the repair guys' lunch!
    Mostly I've only had pleasant experience with Nokia care points.
    Make a call or form a objective complaint. You might try to use the contact us button on the top of this page too. My suggestion is that you wait with any rant before you've got the first response.
    Cheers!

  • Charger port came out

    I PURCHASED A BLACKBERRY CURVE ABOUT 45 DAYS AGO AND WAS CHARGING IT, AS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO AND UPON REMOVING THE CHARGER FROM PORT, THE PORT CAME PARTIALLY OUT OF TELEPHONE.. I HAVE COMPLAINED AND TRIED TO GET A REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR FROM BLACKBERRY, AT&T AND WALMART(where phone was purchased), BUT AFTER 3 HOURS ON THE PHONE ALL THEY COULD SAY IS THAT IT WAS PHYSICAL DAMAGE AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT OR REPAIR IT.. I REALLY CANT AFFORD TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW AND ACTUALLY DONT SEE WHY I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT IT MY EYES IS FAULTY MANUFACTURING... IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA HOW I CAN FIX THIS PHONE OR RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW...

    You contacted RIM for warranty replacement?  Outside of that I have two options.  1) if you are still able to purchase insurance I would do so. Not sure if you can push the charger port in so they don't notice it or not.  2) buy another BlackBerry, activate it on your account (and try to return the old one, but that may be tricky)

  • No USB 2 port in my G4, how can I charge and connect iPod 30GB?

    I dont have a USB 2 port in my G4, how can I charge and connect my brand new iPod 30GB. My G4 only has USB 1 ports. The quick start guide says Can I buy an adapter or something? I'm running OS 10.4.4

    You can use the USB 1.1 port to sync and charge your iPod. It will just be slower than USB 2.0.
    As far as an adapter... what model computer do you have?
    There are USB 2.0 adapters for many Macs... but not all of them.
