How to solder on a new lightning charging port.
A charger broke inside my charger port so I took the speaker apart and got a new charging port but I have no idea how to solder it on.
Any help?
Is this a good question?

Some form of magnification head magnifier, usb microscope, magnifier lamp
soldering iron or hot air station (really steady hand if using soldering iron)
rosin flux (recommend over and above what is in rosin core solder)
solder braid for removing any solder bridges
Recommend watching Youtube charger port replacement tutorials using soldering equipment
Practice soldering technique on junk electronic circuit boards before actually attempting repair on your speaker unit.

The thing with this charger port is that the it's tucked in a really tight space and I don't really see a way to get to it with the soldering iron.
I tried looking on youtube but all I could find were replacement of the whole board. Mind you, this is a lightning port.
Maybe if you post a clear photo of the location in question someone might be able to suggest something. If no access via soldering iron then probably hot air rework station or reflow oven might be in order.
