my bet is the new charging port isn't making proper connection with the antenna. try adjusting the antenna contact.

its weird, cause i have the new one istalled with the screws and the old one hanging out the side of the phone with it being plugged it, and i get a carrier
sounds like the new part has a bad antenna
Make sure the u.fl connector is connected properly. They are VERY tiny.
i bought yet another replacement for the lightining connector, same thing still happens, it gets really hot kills the battery and doesn't get a service, so i put the old one back and it works, is it like the home button that is registered for each phone individually?

Today I had that same issue after replacing the dock connector, I no longer had reception. Long story short I believed the dock connector may be bad so I replaced it for another and also replaced the loud speaker assembly. Maybe that didnt need to be replaced but I wanted to replace both antenna parts to be sure.
You can try just replacing just the dock connector part first if you want, I just wanted to save time becasue I wasnt sure which was the culprit. It worked for me in the end.
