Introduction
If your OnePlus 6 isn't charging when plugged into a charging cable, the charging port may be broken and will need to be replaced. The charger port transmits power to the battery and without a reliable charger port, the phone will not have any power to run.
Always test the phone using cables that you know work to ensure that the charging cable itself isn’t the issue. Also, consider that the battery may be faulty. Poor charging can be caused by many things so be sure to check out the OnePlus 6 Troubleshooting page before completing this replacement guide.
The first step in this guide requires the removal of the back panel of the phone, which is usually made of glass so be careful not to shatter it.
Before completing this guide make sure that the phone is powered off and that there are no power sources connected to it.

Helpful guide! However, there are some steps missing. Between step 7 and 9, the daughter board needs to be lifted up to make room to remove the charging port. It doesn't have to be fully removed, and it is held in place with some adhesive. Also, the charging port connects to the main-board, and that is held down by a plastic shield. Some screws will need to be removed. Once the plastic shield is removed, the charging port can be unplugged from the main-board and fully removed.
