Book this repair
Leave your name and number and we will phone you back to arrange it.
If your A03 only charges when the cable sits at a certain angle, the port is on its way out. Lint packs into the connector over time, and the pins wear or bend from daily plugging in.
On this model the port sits on its own sub-board, so we replace that complete original Samsung board rather than patching the connector. The price shown covers the part and the fitting.
Signs you need this repair
- Cable has to be held at an angle before it charges
- Charges with one specific cable and nothing else
- Plug feels loose in the port
- No charging response at all when plugged in

Common questions
Could it just be my cable or charger?
Sometimes, and that is the first thing we check. Test another cable and wall plug that you know works before booking. If the phone still needs the connector wiggled or held at an angle, the fault sits in the port itself and the sub-board needs replacing.
Can you just clean the port instead of replacing it?
If the only problem is compacted lint, a proper clean can sort it, and we will tell you if that is all it needs. If the pins are bent or worn, cleaning does not help and the sub-board has to be replaced. We check before doing the bigger job.
My A03 charges very slowly. Is that the port?
It can be. A worn port makes poor contact, which drops the charging speed before it stops charging altogether. A tired battery or a cheap cable can cause the same thing, so we test all three. You only pay for the repair the phone actually needs.
