My phone's charging port is on its last leg. I figured it would be easiest just to purchase a new motherboard. Would this mobo need to be a t999 mobo or can it be att/international

You dont have to replace the motherboard cause as I think its not all together just replace the charging port
Here's the part on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093FHMZE/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_SuC2sb1JNC4S9
[Should be an easy fix bro (;]

The s3 requires a rigorous soldering job to replace it unlike the s2
here is a picture of the mobo which you can see it's not just changing a section connected by a ribbon connector. http://www.chip.de/ii/1/5/5/9/3/6/3/5/PQinrlrkqrr1esWL.huge-21422e15d86d3627.jpg
I just ordered a wireless charging kit and will charge my phone using that and transferring data will have to be done wireless. If I absolutely need a chord I can hold it secure with a rubber band lol.
This is how you would take apart you galaxy SIII, the att and tmobile are identical inside so this would be the same process, in case you're not too sure on how to take apart your SIII

Probably a hopeless question but is there a way to get wireless charging with out voiding warranty with the sprint version?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
yes, make a case that plugs into the phone that can take wireless charging.
like a second back plate but making the phone taller because it would need to plug into the usb port

Fix it. How? Its soldered onto the mainboard

It only has six points of contact and would be fairly easy for someone skilled with a soldering iron. If it isn't your forte, you could probably find a local electronics shop that would do it for you for a reasonable fee.
Hey man..I read your post and I have my old nexus..it is missing the battery door and the back is scratched but screen is 10 out of 10.. I would post it to sell but I do not believe I am able to sell on here I would let it go for like 50 bucks or 40 even..

Dude, trust me Its very hard even for experienced technicians
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It is relatively hard if you don't know what you are doing. Need an disassembly guide. A hot air gun and a soldering station.
Oh and some flux.

yeahh I sent it in for repair and they said they could not repair it....then on top of that my note2 got stolen Friday. I'm using a old windows phone 7....its killing me
I had mine apart last night to do the USB port repair (replace the whole ribbon) and looked at the sim slot while it was apart. I am no expert, but I have replaced surface mount chips before that are much more difficult then what this repair would be. A fine tip temp control iron, some desolder braid (along with solder and flux), and it is pretty straight forward. Wouldn't need to take it apart any further then just removing the back.
If you end up wanting to get rid of it for savagehax offer, I would be interested in yours, that being it would be missing a battery back and have a defective sim slot.
Speaking of which, are you sure the sim slot is the defective piece? It'd be worth it to put a meter on there and measure continuity between the pins and solder points.
Good luck with whatever you end up doing.
I had a sim adapter in it and when I pulled it out I guess it rip some pins.....cell phone repair pros told me they could repair it they put in a new sim reader and all...

For whatever reason, my phone stopped recognizing that it is connected to a computer via USB (nothing in the notification pull down menu to start usb mode etc). I was on slim rom, I tried switching to an old wild by night rom and it still has the same problem. Clearly it's not the rom, so I'm pretty confused. Trying to mount in CWM doesn't work either, and odin mode is not recognized on the pc. Charging via usb works.
Either your wire is busted or the solder joints on your port are cracked. Both are easy to repair.

Hrmm.. gotta wait till I get home to test with a different wire. How does one tell if solder joints on the port are cracked?
Visually inspect them. Its also a dead giveaway if no wire will work and nothing else is wrong with the phone.

I did a little more forum digging and found this old thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344882
Sounds like exactly what happened with my phone (weird car mode that I've never seen before popping up; charges but doesnt connect to usb). Looks like you're right about the usb port. Gonna have to see if I can debride the area somehow...
If you are not experienced with or comfortable doing precision soldering, hit me up. Also shine a flashlight into the port and see if the pins are still in place. Bent pins can cause crazy issues.

Soldering is out of my cabilities, mostly because I don't own a soldering device. I do have access to dental equipment though, so I took a look using some 2.5x mag loupes with a light and I saw some some dust and white corrosion. I used a plastic periodontal probe to scrape out the corrosion, small brush to dust the port, and air syringe to blow it all out. Wamo bamo, it's working again.. hopefully it stays working.
Sweet deal man! Glad you got it all back to normal.

Bleh it was shortlived, or at the very least -- finicky. Seems like I may need to replace the port. Do you have instructions for doing that?

Not instructions, but it does require the ability to take the device apart and some fine soldering skills. Not really easy to make instructions for that. It takes a lot of skill to do it.

May I just advise caution to anyone thinking of doing this. The charger should be held in by the prongs locating properly. By bending the metal it stays in place by pushing against the middle pin which is usually made of plastic and could easily snap leaving you with a much more expensive repair than the cost of a new cable

Sounds like a failed charging port... Common issue. You'll want to take it up with warranty.

Yeah sucks but I only paid that cause I need my phone if It was going on and off I would orderd the part now cause its a 20 min fix . Part only cause 25 dollars to change charging port and mic board. Which is the easiest way to go.
