Does anyone know if this will fix the charging port defect of solder getting too hot on this phone and not charging (I assume it’s something w/ the solder)? I bought this phone new on ebay and about 3 - 4 months later, the phone started having charging issues. Now it only charges if I use a large, strategically positioned binder clip and a piece of cardboard.
For about 3 months, we couldn’t even turn on or charge the phone; I eventually hacked around this with a large, strategically placed binder clip, two note cards, and a 5v 3amp motorola usb charger, but it’s naturally not an ideal solution. Not all USB chargers seemed to work; one of the original charger’s prongs came off in the outlet the first week of ownership!
My wife ended up getting a different phone since charging seems to be a basic function of a phone. Oddly, I can’t even select this phone model (does not appear to exist) on Sony’s site to request warranty support.
