Overtime, dust and other dirt particles can accumulate in the USB port. When the USB port is dirty, your phone may not be able to charge. If you’ve cleaned the USB port and your phone still does not charge, you may need to replace the USB port.

Since you need to open up the screen in order to access the USB port, please follow our screen replacement guide before taking further steps.

Hey, I can only find those USB connector boards online where all the chips on it are missing. Does anyone know where I can find a proper replacement board?

Hnas Krack -

Same problem for me. I just bought a "1:1 replacement" board, which has missing chips and does not allow data transfer. Charging was possible (only very slow). However, after I changed to the old board back again to return the new faulty one, Charging was now not a problem anymore. Maybe I tightened one screw, which has been loose before?
