Charging problems on the A03 Core usually start small. First one cable stops working, then the plug needs to be held just so, then nothing. That is the connector wearing out, often helped along by pocket lint packed into the port.

We replace the complete charging sub-board with an original Samsung part rather than bending pins back into place. The fitting is done here in Umhlanga and is included in the price shown.

Common questions

My phone shows charging but the percentage never climbs. Why?

Poor contact at a worn port can deliver a trickle that shows the charging icon but never actually fills the battery, especially while the screen is on. A tired battery can look much the same, so we test both and tell you which repair the phone really needs.

Is the charging port on the A03 Core soldered to the main board?

No, it sits on a separate sub-board, which is good news for the repair. We replace that whole board with an original Samsung part instead of attempting solder work on the main board, so the job is clean and the rest of the phone is left alone.

The phone will not charge after it got wet. Can you help?

Bring it in as soon as you can and do not keep trying to charge it. Moisture in the port corrodes the pins and can spread further into the phone. We will assess the damage first, then tell you whether the sub-board replacement is all it needs.
