Introduction
Use this guide to replace the USB-C port and charging board in your Samsung Galaxy S22+.
Before you begin, refer to the Samsung Self-Repair document for safety information.
Before disassembling your device, completely discharge the battery. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Note: Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
