When an A52 stops charging reliably, the USB-C port is the usual suspect. Pins bend, contacts wear, and pocket lint packs in at the bottom of the socket until the plug never quite seats.

Samsung builds the A52's port on a separate sub-board, which is what we replace, using an original part. That gives you a factory fresh port rather than a resoldered socket. Fitting is included in the price shown.

Common questions

My A52 charges, but slowly. Is that the port?

It can be. Worn port contacts increase resistance, which makes the phone fall back to slow charging or drop the connection under load. Test with a known good cable and adapter first. If slow charging persists across accessories, the port sub-board is the likely fault.

Will I lose anything on the phone during a port repair?

No. The repair swaps a hardware board and does not involve your storage. Your apps, photos and messages stay untouched. As with any repair we suggest a backup beforehand, purely as good practice, especially if the phone has been struggling to hold charge.

The phone shows charging but the percentage does not go up. Port or battery?

It can be either, which is why we test rather than guess. A worn port can pass enough current to show the icon but not enough to charge, while a worn battery may not accept charge properly. We diagnose it and quote the repair that is actually needed.
