Charging port repairs in Derry

Signs your charging port needs attention

• You have to hold or prop the cable at an angle for the phone to charge at all.
• Charging drops in and out when the phone moves, or stops the moment you pick it up.
• Nothing happens with any cable or charger — you have already tried a different lead and plug.
• The cable no longer clicks in, feels loose, or something rattles inside the port.
• The phone only charges slowly, or will not fast-charge when it used to.
• The computer will not recognise the phone over a cable, even when charging works.
• Heat or a hot smell around the port while charging, or visible corrosion, green residue or bent pins inside the opening.

What the repair involves

1. First we check the simple causes Pocket lint, fluff and compacted dust are a very common reason for a “dead” charging port. If it can be cleaned out safely, that can solve the problem without the cost of a new part — and we will tell you when that is the case.
2. Then we test the port properly A known-good cable and charger, slow versus fast charging, and whether data transfer works as well as charging. That tells us whether the fault is the port, the cable, the battery or the charging circuit.
3. You get the price, the part and the timeframe If the port itself is worn, bent or corroded, the usual fix is to replace the charging port flex or the small board it sits on. We will confirm the cost, whether the part is in stock or needs ordered in, and how long we need the phone.
4. The repair is carried out The handset is opened, the old port assembly is removed, the new one is fitted, and the phone is reassembled with fresh adhesive where the model requires it.
5. Testing before you collect Charging, fast charging where supported, wireless charging if your model has it, and a data connection check so you know the port is fully working — not just lighting up.

Asking about price, parts and turnaround

Because the answer might be “the port just needed cleaned” rather than “the port needs replaced”, the cost varies from handset to handset. Ring +44 7955 584114 with the make and model, plus a note of whether the phone charges at all, whether data works, and whether it has been in water or been opened before.

Worth asking us directly: what a charging port repair costs, whether the part is in stock here or needs ordered in, and how long you would be without the phone. Any estimate is confirmed with you before work begins, and we do not promise same-day turnaround — it depends on the fault and on part availability.
