My Problem

Charger connection wasn't working well, then finally got to a point where I couldn't even plug it in.

My Fix

Because I used the Youtube instructions, the repair was fairly easy. It was about the same level of effort as replacing the battery. I took my time and made sure everything went back in as it was supposed to and the phone has worked flawlessly since.

My Advice

Do NOT follow the instructions on the iFixit website. Search for the Youtube video "How to fix the iPhone 5 Charging Port in 5 Minutes". It's much simpler. If you get stuck, or have questions you can refer back to the iFixit instructions, but the iFixit instructions have you do WAY more than is necessary.
