anyone a phone repair tech?

[daturbosix]

i believe something is up with my charge port on my Note 4. (wont fast charge, and take forever to charge anyway).

1 month ago i shattered my screen, and took it to the sprint service store on rt59. they replaced the screen and charge port. phone worked great.

just the other day, i kept getting warnings of system performance due to battery/charging. i call that sprint store, and they cant order charge ports anymore for my phone, so the only option is to replace the phone through insurance. thats a $200 deductible on a phone i just spent $108 on last month for the screen. ugh.

sooooo, the charge ports are like $5 on ebay for a OEM one.

anyone know someone that can do the repair? and im not talking about the electronic repair shops or phone stores, i dont want to spend another 100 on this damn thing.

and no, i dont want to buy a new phone. i refuse to pay 700 for one, or the whole 30 bucks a month for 24 months thing either.

have you tried using a new cord? my cords go out of wack all the time from either getting kinked, or bent the wrong way.

yes. several cords actually. and different "samsung fast charge" cubes too.

 

[boostedguy05]

do you have a removeable battery, or a built in battery?

do you have a removeable battery, or a built in battery?

i have 2 newer batteries that i swap between

 

[boostedguy05]

of you lay them flat on the table, do all 4 corners of the battery touch the table? the batteries only have a 4 or 6 month prime shelf life, and warp, when the warp is whey they start giving you issues.

basically you dont want to be able to do this.

So, did you try cleaning it out?

 

[daturbosix]

how?

Canned air

Give it a good suck and blow

 

[daturbosix]

think 160psi on my shop air is good enough?

 

[boostedguy05]

AS LONG AS ITS NOT WET AIR.

oops caps.

 

[SMKE EM]

blowing 160psi in a tiny hole that leads into an enclosed device sounds like a recipe for fun

[Knowklew]

can of compressed air, nothing else.

Also a toothpick to get the lint out.

Make sure the phone is powered off for all of this.
