Hey
i spilt water on my phone, a samsung galaxy nexus i9250 and i did the mistake of charging my phone after a few hours.
Now the phone doesn't charge at all. But everything else works perfectly without any problems. i have to remove the battery and charge it using a wall charger and put it back to use the phone.
i opened up the phone and found out that the IC socket on the main board which is used to connect the Charging Port Flex Ribbon and the connector of the ribbon is burnt.
i ordered the charging module off ebay, but its of no use if the socket on the motherboard itself is burnt. (6 pins of the socket soldered on the motherboard)
I just wanted to know if its fixable and if it can be fixed, can someone tell me where i can get the part.
I live in india where the phone wasnt released.
Thanks in advance
PS : I have been a silent member all this while and i would like thank all the members for their continuous effort in helping out other members.

Hello all.
I dropped my phone pretty hard the other day. I dropped it many times before so I didn't think there would be any damage besides that the battery popped out.
Once I got home and wanted to charge my Artemis I noticed that my USB connector is gone!
Well, I found myself a spare one on eBay, but as I looked at the connections on the circuit board of my Artemis I started to doubt the possibility to put another USB connector in there.
Some pins seem to be damaged real bad but not all of them, and then again I only want to be able to charge my phone and will not use the USB connector for syncing or using a headphone.
Can someone take a look at the picture I took and see if its still possible to attach a new USB connector to my Artemis and if it will at least be able to charge the battery?

Many thanks!
Repair of the USB mini port
Hey,
Could you send a picture with more sharpness, because i can't see it that well.
I already see that you have been soldering on top (close to your serial number).
Kind Regards

As long as you have got the correct connector then the way you do it is to remove the solder that is on the pads on the board and apply solder PASTE to the pins of the connector, then with a very COOL soldering iron gently touch the pins just long enough to flow the solder on.
My phone won't charge - the cable wobbles in the port now, and looking into the port I can see a copper pin bent flat against the back of the port. I tried fishing that pin out with a staple, no dice.
My question is, how hard would it be to replace the micro usb port using a $6 replacement from ebay? I'm sure I can disassemble and reassemble the thing without a problem, but I'm worried about soldering and desoldering - how intensive is it?
I've got like 50% battery left. I know I can buy battery chargers and keep swapping out the battery, but I'd rather not do that - this phone is my primary alarm clock Maybe it's time to say goodbye and upgrade to a higher end phone.
Hi all,
I'd like to know that if your Note 8 charging port is too weak to be broken? Mine is changed for the second time and it's broken now. So the third time it will be replaced soon. It is so annoyed. I use it with extremely care, but I don't know if the charging port is too delicate.
Thanks for your reply anyway.
No it is not weak I have gone through 2 samsung oem cables and 2 aftermarket cables and 1 of 3 Sony Ericsson cables. The Sony cables are *****'n and I won't use anything else.
You can replace the usb daughter board easily. I thought my usb was killing cables and had removed my daughter board and noticed that the usb frame had been stressed by how the cable tugs on it. I press the top and bottom with my fingers to narrow the opening back to original. As the replacement was to gauge any physical differences.
I suggest not to use the tablet when it is pluged in to the usb charger. It will keep the plug and connector from failing.
I just bought my daughter, 12, her first phone, a LG G4 F500k. The problem is that the phone keeps destroying USB cables. She charges it on my Tronsmart quick-charge 2.0 charger, the one with three ports. I've used that charger for more than a year now with the supplied Tronsmart USB cable on a G Flex 2 and a Samsung 7 Edge and the charger and cable have always performed as expected.
Now, ever since she started using it, first the Tronsmart cable went bust. Wouldn't work on the G4 or my phones, with the fast charger or other chargers. Today, the third USB cable went bust. A definite pattern is emerging here with each new USB cable lasting a week max.
One thing is that the busted cables still charge smaller devices like my mp3 player or bluetooth headset.
Another thing is that the G4 does show the fast charge notification while the USB cable is working and charges fast as well getting just, I guess, regular warm.
Could it be that my daughter messed up the G4's charge port while inserting/pulling out the cable?
I would really appreciate any help/ suggestions with this issue because I have finally run out of spare cables.
C'mon, guys... Anyone else experience this?
It happened to me too, I still don't understand how can a G4 charge port damage a USB cable? It happened to me 2 times.
In frustration ( I shouldn't have done this) I connected the USB cable to the G4 charge port and furiously bend the end metal by almost to 30* degrees because the USB cable was loose inside the G4 charge port , then I got another USB cable, the putting into G4 charge port felt tight and proper. Luckily my beloved G4 is fine.
Alright an update...
I tried a lot of the tricks I'd read about wonky micro-USB cables. I tried bending and lifting out the tabs at top (narrow) end which are present on some of the cables. I tried pressing with a needle and lifting out the tabs at the wider end... these tabs are on every cable... The cables would, sometime, start working again for a charge or two but died again.
On the 25th of Nov, 2016, I took the phone to a professional repairs guy. Upon a cursory examination, he declared that the G4's charging port was perfectly fine. I insisted that the damn thing was eating all my cables. Luckily, I had brought along one of the recent dead cables.
The repair guy looked at the charge port under some pro-microscope thingie and said there was carbon damage. Then, he stripped apart the USB cable I'd taken with me and checked that one of the terminals was shorted out.
After extensive examination, he concluded and confirmed that it indeed was the charging port that was effing up the cables because there was carbon corrosion on it that transferred to the wire... something to that effect. Interestingly, he didn't find any evidence of water damage on the inside of the phone... motherboard etc. Just the charging port.
He didn't have an original G4 replacement charging port at the moment so he applied some dielectric grease on the port and told me to use only one cable with the G4.
I can confirm that like all my other phones, the G4 was not exposed to water or about as much exposed to, I guess, ambient humidity as my other phones.
.........
Well, these are my findings after my personal debugging and pro consultation. Flagship, my ass.
-------------------------
Today, it has been 14 days since the visit to the technician. The present USB cable has lasted for 14 days now (and still working great) which is 10 days past the previous record...
My recommendation is to try and take off any oxidation/rust from the phone's charging contact (the technician just used a flat long, thin metal object to scratch off the buildup), then applying a dab of dielectric grease. It would be a good idea to turn the phone off and take out the battery before attempting this.
From what I've heard, silicon spray (WD40 brand etc.) can be used as well by spraying some first on a cotton bud and then coating the contact with it.
Try this before anything else if you are experiencing symptoms similar to what I stated in the original post.
Hi
I have A705FN some time not charge and when i go to support office it's charge !
I notice now when it's not charge if i remove SD - not restart - it's charge !
if i retern SD after 5-6 days it's back not charge again
I have this with mange charger and when not charge i test many chargers and cables
Hello, i have a similar issue. After test all kind of things, my conclusion is a false contact, so with the charge cable plugged, touch the flex between charge pcb and main board and voilá! Efectively, over the main board side have a false contact. I haven't the correct tools to fix it, so I put a small wood piece between the disipator and flex socket in the way to make some pressure in the connector and the charge problem was solved.
Hope helps!
