What this fixes
What a charging port repair actually fixes.
- Only charges held at an angleThe classic worn or dirty port. The pins are not making contact until you push the plug where it should not need to go.
- Stops and starts while plugged inThe connection is intermittent. Often lint compacted at the bottom of the port holding the plug a millimetre short.
- The cable feels looseA plug that no longer clicks in is telling you the port has worn or something is packed into it.
- Charges but will not connect to a computer or CarPlayPower and data run on different pins, so a port can pass one and fail the other.
- The cable falls out on its ownLint packed behind the contacts, or a port whose retention clips have worn. The first is a clean and the second is a replacement.
- It got hot around the port while chargingStop using that cable. A hot port is worth looking at before it takes the board with it.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the charging port?
This is the repair most often quoted when it is not needed, so it is worth going through properly.
IfIt stopped charging suddenly with no drop
Try another cable and another plug first. Cables fail far more often than ports and it costs nothing to rule out.
IfIt charges from the wall but not from a computer
Power and data are different pins. That narrows it to the port rather than the battery or the board, which is useful to know before we open anything.
IfTwo different cables both fail
Now it is the phone. One cable failing is a cable; two is a port.
IfIt charges fine but slowly
Try another plug first. Slow charging is very often the charger rather than the phone.
IfIt has never charged properly since a repair elsewhere
The port sits close to a lot of other flexes. Worth having it opened and checked rather than replaced blind.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Samsung service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
The words genuine and Samsung certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
- USB-C on every current Galaxy. The port is on its own daughterboard on most models, which makes it a cleaner replacement than a port soldered to the mainboard.
What the €80 includes
- The port inspected and cleaned before anything is replaced
- A replacement charging assembly where cleaning is not enough
- Charging and data transfer both tested
- 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship
Nothing extra gets done and charged for without you saying yes to it. Where the diagnostic turns up a second fault, the work stops there and you hear the price before it goes any further.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
Choose the part
Two tiers, named before you agree.
A charging port is a flex assembly rather than a tuned component, so the tier matters less here than almost anywhere else.
Value Edition
Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
Made to the original specification and, on a port, genuinely hard to fault. Fast charging negotiates the same, data works the same, and it costs less.
€80The €80 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
This is one of the repairs where we will tell you to take the cheaper tier and put the difference towards a case. The part is not where a port repair goes wrong; the fitting is.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Tell us what it is doing
Book online in about two minutes, or walk in without an appointment. Describe the symptom rather than the repair, it is more useful to us.
Free diagnostic
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
You approve the price
You get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.
The repair is carried out
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Bench testing
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Back in your hands
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Plug retention
The cable should click and hold with no angle needed. If it does not, the job is not finished.
Microphone and speaker
Both sit on or beside the charging assembly on most phones and both get disturbed during the repair.
Cable retention
A cable that will not stay in is not a repair we call finished.
Fast charge negotiation
Checked with a charger that supports it, because a port can charge slowly and look fine.
What happens to what is on it?
This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.
We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.
Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
Will it still survive a splash?
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

Galaxy S23 Ultra screen questions.
€80, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
Carefully, with the phone off and something non-metallic like a wooden toothpick. Do not use a pin, a paperclip or compressed air. The pins bend and once they are bent the clean becomes a replacement.
Most of it is pocket lint. Emptying the port every few months with a toothpick keeps it from packing down, and a case with a covered port helps if you carry the phone loose.
Yes. Wireless charging does not use the port at all, which is also a useful way to keep a phone going until you can get the port sorted.
Very often, and it is the first thing we check. Pocket lint compacts at the bottom of the port a little further with every cable insertion until the plug can no longer reach the pins. Where a clean fixes it, that is what you pay for.
It will charge at the speed the phone was designed for, which is faster than a worn port manages. It will not make the phone charge faster than it did when it was new.

As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra.
