Is this part just the connection between the port and phone? My port is loose and does not always allow charging. I thought I might need a new port.

Yes if ur port is loose that's the part its easy to replace but pay attention to what u do record how u take apart

My port doesn't work any more . It like all cell connection ports is made cheaply. It lasted about a year. I now bought an extra battery with a battery charger from radio shack and charge my batteries this way.

If you put it straight into the port and push a little bit it may "lock" it. It is not consistent with all of those tablets that my family has. It appears to be normal for it to be loose but you may have one that this trick works on. If you send it back you will get one exactly like it. :)

I'm not sure I can help you, my charger is working fine. I might make suggestion to be sure the micro usb is pushed all the way in, other than that I can't really help you. I love mine and am thinking of buying another.

hi, when I bought it this article and fix ok, but when installed in the phone the flex cable for the tactile touch screen connector was very very short, when I tried to connect it to the logic board it broke because it was to smaller than the original, so I think this is a defective part, I can't send it.

Yes it has the micro usb port and the only tools you need are the ones you have to take the phone apart with let me know if u have any more questions this fixed my charging problem

I have the same problem. Installed this part. The charging ports works but the mic does not. The only way to make a call is on speaker phone because the apparently does not use the mic on the new board. There must be another mic on the phone. The bottom line is that these parts are not fully functional.

Probably; as the current draw increases the port's voltage will drop and the charging device will stop increasing its current draw. I got it primarily for one phone I had that would only charge on a few chargers leaving me stranded frequently - it seems the phone expected a voltage on the data pins to indicate a charger rather than a port; this corrects that problem. I also got a couple of USB volt- / am-meters to keep an eye on things and sort out chargers by power capability.

You probably need a new board if the pin inside the charger is not loose. The problem I found with the board is that the connector breaks where it is soldierd to the power board and to have to apply pressure till it can no longer make a connection.

It may only be the charger. The charger is pretty common on a lot of models. If you know a friend or someone, get them to plug their's into your tablet. If it falls out then it probably the insert where you plug it in gone bad. I had two of these models and one completely locked up. The other one is doing fine. If another charger plug in falls out then yes it is the tablet. Not sure if it would be worth fixing because of the cost.

have you tried a new charging cable? could be the jack in the phone too, but try new cable or cord first

I have the S4 and it didn't recognize as a dock connection. It was very loose and I was afraid it was going to damage the charging port. Did love the style of the dock but no longer using it.

Not from what I encountered cause I lost my charger port cover and this one didn't close it completely

I just checked out the picture of your case on-line, and don't believe it will allow the connector to 'connect' without taking off the case. I ended up with a very slim hard case that leaves the top and bottom free of coverage - this is the only one I don't have to take off before charging.Hope this helps!

You have to take it apart and rotate the connector. If you're not comfortable don't buy it because it does void warranty/return policy. I also ended up hot gluing connector slide in place to make docking phone easier since it still slides side to side and if not exactly centered, can prevent connection for charging.

When you open the charger port cover in your phone there are two parts to the port. The right side of the port is a standard micro USB port. It fits there. If I could upload a picture I would show you.

It depends on your battery. This is, however, what I am using since my USB port gave out. It's a less expensive option than buying a new phone or getting the port repaired.

Its either that the charging cable is messed up or the charging connector of the case itself is damage/tampered-some. Im not too sure upon how to fix it.
