The Xbox Series X came out in 2020, with the custom AMD Zen 2 eight core with RDNA 2 graphics chip. Round the back it has HDMI 2.1, three USB-A, Ethernet and a storage expansion slot. The tall black tower with the vent on top. It has a disc drive; the Series S does not.

What this fixes
What a charging port repair actually fixes.
- Will not charge at allNothing when you plug in. Sometimes the port, sometimes the cable, occasionally the battery or the board, which is why we look first.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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 when you press the plug in hard
Very often compacted pocket lint rather than a failed port. We clean and test before quoting a replacement, and frequently the clean is the whole repair.
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.
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?
Parts are ordered against the number printed on the component, not the name on the box, because the same model name covers very different hardware. What we are fitting is confirmed to you first, and it carries 360 days of cover.
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
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the console is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
A collection and return across Dublin can be added when you book. The repair price and the warranty are the same either way.
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
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
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You approve the price
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
The repair is carried out
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
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.
Data over the cable
Because power and data run on separate pins and a port can pass one and fail the other.
Microphone and speaker
Both sit on or beside the charging assembly on most phones and both get disturbed during the repair.
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.
Will my data be safe?
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.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
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.

Asked all the time
Xbox Series X 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.
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.
It is a workaround, not a fix. It is slower, it makes more heat, and you still cannot move files or use wired accessories.
Usually same day. On many devices the port is a plug-in flex and it is quick; on others it is soldered to the board and that is bench work rather than counter work.
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.
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.
