The PlayStation 4 Pro arrived in 2016, with the AMD Jaguar eight core with a Polaris GPU chip. Round the back it has HDMI 2.0, three USB, optical audio and Ethernet. Three layers rather than two, and a matt top. The Pro is noticeably thicker than a standard PS4 and it is the one that most often needs a fan clean. Ireland gets the CUH-7xxx.

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.
- The cable feels looseA plug that no longer clicks in is telling you the port has worn or something is packed into it.
- It charges only when you hold the cable at an angleWorn contacts or a port that has been pulled sideways. Holding it is the last stage before it stops entirely.
- It charges from a plug but the computer will not see itData pins rather than power pins. Same port, and it tells us which side of it has failed.
- 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.
- It stopped charging after a soakingDo not plug it in. Charging through a corroded port is what turns a repairable phone into a board job.
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.
IfIt got wet and then stopped charging
This is a liquid damage assessment first. Corrosion spreads, and fitting a new port onto a corroding board wastes the part.
IfTwo different cables both fail
Now it is the phone. One cable failing is a cable; two is a port.
IfYou can see grey fluff when you shine a light in
That is the fault. A careful clean is often the whole repair and it costs a fraction of a port replacement.
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?
We source against the part number the console itself carries. That is the only way to be sure of a fit, and it is why we sometimes need the machine in front of us before quoting. Every part carries the 360-day warranty.
If the manufacturer still sells the part, that option goes on the table with its price beside the aftermarket one. We do not call something original when it is not.
What the Free diagnostic 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
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
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.
Priced at the counterThe price for this repair is confirmed after a free diagnostic. 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
Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.
Free diagnostic
We confirm what has actually failed before anything is ordered or opened. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
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
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
Bench testing
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
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.
Charging from the wall
With the phone drawing real current, not just showing the lightning bolt.
Data over the cable
Because power and data run on separate pins and a port can pass one and fail the other.
Charge and data on the same port
Both, because a port can carry power and have lost its data pins.
Accessories through the port
Headphones or a dongle where your device uses them, since they run through the same connector.
Is anything on the device at risk?
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
What about the water resistance?
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
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.
Another model
Charging port repair for other Game Console models.
Asked all the time
PlayStation 4 Pro screen questions.
We quote it after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it 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.
No, and this is the repair most often replaced when it did not need to be. A very large share of phones that will not charge have compacted pocket lint holding the plug a fraction short of the pins. We clean and test first, and where that fixes it, that is what you pay for.
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.
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 is a workaround, not a fix. It is slower, it makes more heat, and you still cannot move files or use wired accessories.
Almost always lint and sideways force. Charging with the phone in a pocket, or lying on a bed with the cable under tension, pushes against a connector that was designed to take the plug straight in and nothing else.
