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.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

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,
David

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!

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.

Blackberry Torch Charger Port broken, battery drained?

My charging port is somewhat broken on my blackberry torch (I have to put the charger at a certain angle for it to charge and readjust every few minutes). I wa sjust wondering if there is anything I can buy that would let me charge just the battery and not have to go through the usb port.
Also, I was able to fully charge my phone, and I turned it off for the night, but when I turned it back on, the battery was almost completely drained! Is my battery discharged? (Ive had my phone for about a year)

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
RIM provides zero front line support to end users, including warranty...all support starts with the carriers, authorized resellers, and authorized service centers, all who can escalate cases into RIM at no charge to the end user...the specific place to seek warranty support varies by region, but you should have received documentation, when you originally obtained your BB, as to what your warranty level is and how to seek support.
If your original service provider was also your original place of purchase, then I'm pretty sure they should still service your warranty for the hardware itself...but I'm not quite positive on that point...it seems logical, but they told you they will not help you...maybe you need to escalate with them beyond their front line folks and to someone in management who can properly evaluate your situation.
There also might be some good reading here:

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.

MacBook pro 13" charger port broken any tips to repair?

Hey guys, I have a mid 2010 MacBook pro and the charger port has broken and won't take any charge at all. There's 5 little pins inside the port and pin 1 and pin 5 seem to have had the caps taken off them or something. I'm unsue what the cause was but can anyone tell me if this is repairable? And how much it's likely to cost?

If you have AppleCare the repairs will be covered under its warranty. However, if the repair techs consider the damage "accidental" you will be responsible for the cost of the repairs.
No one here can tell you how much it will cost. You will need to ask the repair shop about the cost and/or provide you with an estimate.
If you do not have AppleCare and want to DIY, do a Google search, research YouTube's "How To" video tutorials and Do-It-Yourself Laptop Repair

MacBook Charger Port broken?

So recently I purchased a 13" MacBook pro. Unfortunately... my charger somehow crushed one of the pins of the charger port and now my MacBook won't charge.
At the top of my Mac, it says "Not Charging" and no matter what way you move the charger it won't charge because of that one crushed pin.
Can this be fixed? Or will I have to forever have this broken MacBook that I can't take anywhere because I can't use it unless it's plugged in....
Oh and I have the 3 year warrenty.

If you can't charge it then you need to take it to Apple and get the socket fixed, once your battery goes flat that's the end of any use so there's no point trying to struggle on this way.

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.

USB/Power Port broken

The USB/Power port on my 8830 is broken. Can I download my contact info to a MicroSD card? How would I do this? Any other thoughts? I don't have ithe phone backed up, but will get a replacement from Verizon. Thanks

No, moving contacts to a microSD card is not possible. The only way to get the info from the device would be via bluetooth to make a backup to Desktop Manager. In order for Desktop Manager to connect using bluetooth, you need to have the basic Windows drivers installed and not any 3rd party drivers like Widcomm or Toshiba, etc. When it works, it's quite simple. When it doesn't, it can get complicated.

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 ...

V5 572 Charger port broken

Hi All, UK owner here. I've had my V5-572 for a couple of months now, but this morning when I went to plug my laptop into charge, I noticed that the connection was physically very loose, it used to 'click' in but now it can easily just fall out. Also, I have to wiggle the charger around to get a good electrical connection and get the thing charging. By eye, it looks like it's the thin metal pin on the laptop inside the charging port that is off-centre and could be almost snapped off. Obviously this is not ideal, does anyone know if this is covered in my warrenty and if so, how long does the repair process take? Thanks a lot.
