Charging ports take more abuse than any other part of a phone. Pocket lint packs into the USB-C socket, pins bend, and the connector wears loose from thousands of insertions.

On the A71 the port sits on its own sub-board, so we replace that complete board with an original Samsung part rather than soldering the socket. It is a clean, reliable repair. Part and fitting are included in the price shown.

Common questions

Could it just be dirt in the port instead of a broken part?

Sometimes, yes. Compacted lint is a common cause and we check for it first. If a clean sorts it, that is what we tell you. If the pins are worn or bent, the sub-board needs replacing, and we will show you what we found.

Why do you replace a whole board instead of just the USB socket?

Samsung builds the A71 charging port onto a small sub-board along with the microphone and other components. Replacing the complete original board is the way Samsung designed the repair, and it is more reliable than soldering a loose socket onto an old board.

My A71 charges slowly all of a sudden. Is that the port?

It can be. A worn port makes poor contact, and the phone drops to a slower, safer charging speed. A tired battery or a damaged cable can cause the same thing, so we test all three before replacing anything.

Working out what is wrong

A phone that will not charge is not always the port.
