How do I replace my samsung captivate charge port?

Discussion Topic

I'm willing to send, my phone off for someone to fix my phone, or suggestions to businesses that know how. I took the phone completely apart, and then realized it was a soldering job. Please help!

This is possible to do, but tough

you will need your phone apart and a soldering iron that has good heat transfer and gets hotter then 400 degrees(410 is fine) to do this

You will want to use a desoldering braid and remove any old solder from the connector ONLY and replace the jack

get a female micro USB connector on eBay(note this is cheap, so i trust eBay for this)

note you cannot do it too long, you will mess up the contact pads if you do

Do you think I could send the port and mother board to you, and trust you to send it back?

captinhowdy94,

I do not do this level of soldering well enough to There are companies who tough but i am trying to go to technical school, i shhould have a better idea if i make it

I have the same problem, do you know where I can sent it?

LUQMAN BAKARE any chance you could do it yourself? Also, where are you located? It may cost more in postage than getting it repaired locally. The repair is usually around $60 while the part is available for around $5. It is a standard micro USB and really not that difficult.
