New charging port won't charge
I just replaced the charging port on an iPhone 7+ going step by step through the ifixit repair guide. The phone will not charge still.
Is this a good question?

It is possible you have a defective replacement part. Small parts, such as charge ports have high defect rates compared to replacement screens. Ideally you need to try a known-good replacement part.
However, if you're original problem was charging, then you may have a logic board issue, specifically the charge circuit. That requires a different skill-set to troubleshoot and repair. Consider having a micro-solderer look at your phone.

The original problem was that the charging port was worn out and chargers wouldn’t hardly charge unless hald just right. Once the repair was done, I plugged it in and the battery icon came up, I unplugged it and the image change telling me to insert the charger. An hour later it doesn’t even do that.
Double check the connector to see if there is any damage. Beyond that, it sounds like a bad part. Have you tried the original flex to see if it works partially as before?
The original actually completely quit working hence why I went ahead and replaced it tonight. I double checked everything and all connections look fine.
