Everything on my Lenovo tab A2 10 works except the charging port. When I plug in any charger it won’t charge the tablet. When my tablet lost its final charge I couldn’t use it anymore. I know its not the battery because it worked just fine its just charging the tablet was getting progressively harder and I had to angle my chargers in different ways so it could start charging the tablet.
Is this a good question?

@sal10 sounds like a bad charging port. It is soldered to the motherboard. Use this guide Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70 Motherboard Replacement to get there. Then you need to remove the old port and solder a new one in. This video has some pretty good directions. The ports are available at places like this
Was this answer helpful?
Not helpful, since the motherboard costs more than the tablet did brand new. It would be helpful if you included instructions on how to replace just the usb socket.
@steveclose72539 nobody said to replace the motherboard. The links referring to a how-to video as well as the replacement part. So, not a very helpful comment.
@oldturkey03 The instructions show how to remove and replace the motherboard. That doesn't tell me how to fix the broken charge port, which is what the OP asked for.
@steveclose72539 did you check the other links? The iguide shows how to remove the board "to get there. Then you need to remove the old port and solder a new one in" as show in the video. Now you can reinstall the board according to the guide.
Well neither here nor there. I am so sorry my answer did not meet your expectation. I'll try to be more explicit the next time.

Where did you buy replacement charging port ? I saw some generic ones on Ebay.
