Galaxy S3 Charging Port Repair

[@lloydmorrison2321]

You are a VERY detailed technician! I really enjoyed your video and your skill with attention to perfection.

[@billygoat2911]

Great video. I like the videos where the person talks. Some of the other videos have stupid music playing through the whole thing. This one was very good. THANKS !!!!

[@sakreindl]

You're a stud, bro, although, I have a headache from watching the video. Not from the content but your cinematography. Constructive criticism!

[@pankey71]

Thank you so much for the video. I have watched several and this was the first that I was able to get such a good view on the pins.I appreciate the share since that was the only thing I was still unsure of. Great job!

[@timr617]

great! so your saying i need to buy $1000 worth of equipment to fix my $2 charging port on my samsung phone thats worth about $100. your fuckin awesome man really thanks for this incredibly helpful video...

[@AbduCola]

+timr617 I think this more for people who are in the repair business, not scrubs who still own GS3s and and are too cheap to upgrade when their charge port breaks

[@keekwai2]

So you're an idiot ... deal with it.

[@MHawkeye]

camera man needs to be fired.

[@ph54kah]

Great video all the other video's I've watched didn't have any close ups. Thanks :)

[@phillipmckenzie6144]

so that $2 includes the battery port, microscope, heat gun, and soldering soldering right?

[@cutiepiezapzap4369]

My thoughts exactly

[@AbduCola]

+Phillip Mckenzie Maybe a soldering iron, but idk about a soldering soldering iron. Thats super fancy

[@Zinexeon]

Thanks for this. Very helpful.

[@billygoat2911]

I just bought everything I need to do this for less than $64.00 off Ebay. Slightly less than $1000 that someone else mentioned. I will practice on some old circuit boards first.

[@Mister.Psychology]

So? Was it worth the hassle? I am thinking about buying a Moto G4 Play instead of doing all this work.

[@bmxscape]

u can get charging ports fixed on phones like this for $30 sometimes less

[@islndaze]

I think i'll just have a professional fix it XD

[@lorainemagana3155]

Are you located in Stockton CA

[@jehminjung89]

Where did you get that hot air blowing tip

[@javanpohl3036]

I went with a hot swap instead, wait I guess I actually did a cold swap, which is fine because it has guidance pins to lead it back into place. 1200 watt heat gun about 3-4" from the part on high. Only took maybe 10-15 seconds before the solder melted. Take part off. Turn heat off. Put more solder in places where it's looking bare. Grab new part and place in old spot, line it up as best as possible (it doesn't really sink in until it gets hot again). Turn heat back on, and tap lightly until it's heated, once the solder is soft again, gently tap it back down into place. Boom. Note of caution: I initially tried with a lower power heat gun like he used in the video, however, the plastic that holds in the pins in place on the port itself kept melting and the part was unuseable. Luckily I had plenty of spares.

[@SolderingGeek]

Try the method using a soldering stencil. This procedure "dumbs down" the replacement and makes it twice as fast . Search Samsung Galaxy III Charging Port Repair Part 3 . Our professional instructor guides you through the process. BTW the shielding material is "Kapton(TM)" tape.

[@Czapokx]

thanks

[@shahrasool1821]

[@mccoco2280]

I have one question if you solder the conector back can you use to pins only solder of how do you do that exatly

[@deanpennington2961]

Do you do this as a service to people lacking your expensive tool set? What is the charge?

[@YungBuscemi]

Nice, thanks for posting. How much do you charge to replace a charging port and speaker on a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 motherboard. I have replacement parts already.

[@jjenson2006]

Here is how I do them: 1) I don't use a heat shield; it's totally unnecessary. 2) I put the board on a PCB pre-heater and heat it to around 150C. 3) Using the hot air rework station, I heat up the part until it effortlessly lifts off the board. 4) I clean up the board area and apply flux liberally. 5) I place the new part onto the board and heat it with hot air. 6) I put light pressure on the part using a toothpick while I continue to heat. 7) As the residual solder heats up and melts, the part eventually drops into the small holes in the board. 8) I then solder the four corners of the part. 9) I apply more flux over the pins. 10) I solder the pins using a screwdriver tip iron. 11) I then apply more flux and remove excess solder using the iron until all bridges are gone.

[@Sgtcanadian]

Award for the blurriest youtube video goes to you! Congrats!

[@Ohverture]

Is there any reason you don't use wick to clean the pads after removal, or flux before you remove it?

[@wesleyaustin1562]

whats the air pressure number you used on the heat gun

[@Mister.Psychology]

Just a little advice. If you put the camera on the opposite side of you your fingers won't block the view every second second. It can just lie on the table and you can work and film at the same time.

[@garrygibbons2989]

Could you drag solder this?

[@B44M4N]

Thanks! just did it myself, otherwise i never would fix it ^^

[@FoREvErYoUrS8207]

How much do you charge to fix my S3?!

[@jeromepetty8536]

Was wondering if you could fix my phone.

[@mccoco2280]

What tape do you use ?

[@patto2k]

mc coco 22 It's Kapton tape, not to be confused with krypton.

[@polkadot1963]

Will this work on a tablet?

[@TylerJosephSmith]

Do you repair phones through the mail?

[@lorainemagana3155]

What is your eBay website

[@bjdobs]

Great video and thanks for it. However, the amount of work and specialized equipment to fix such a badly designed usb port is insane! The real problem here is that the micro-usb connector is very small and weak, prone to breaking and wearing out easily. So why don't manufacturers, in the very least, make them much easier to replace? I've broken 3 such connectors on my Samsung phones and each time it cost $70 to fix. Now, I've switched to wireless charging.

[@-Graham]

lol "krypton tape" - It's Kapton Tape, as used on space suits.

[@KevWebsz]

but Krypton sounds cooler

[@-Graham]

Being wrong sounds cooler? Yeah, that's the problem with the world today.

[@jonnlennz4058]

ColdTurkeyFlu You took that innocuous comment pretty harshly.

[@cxxkiem0nster428]

JonnLennz he took it up the butt

[@sakreindl]

ColdTurkeyFlu It's no good unless you can repel superman from doing these kinds of repairs. He'd put me under!

[@Eric-zi1oz]

Keep the krypton tape away from Superman. :-P

[@corellitube]

lol! Awesome!

[@Ty-qe1jb]

what happens if the jack is actually just completely wobbly in the inside blood the little thing inside the charger port is wobbly

[@jeromepetty8536]

How much do you charge?

[@WathanaPrak]

+Jerome Petty $65

[@brochess049]

are you mention your eBay store I would love to visit can you send me a link

[@theadmiralchallenger6265]

how do i get in contact with you to see if you can fix my phone?

[@WathanaPrak]

+TheAdmiralChallenger please call my store for instruction 804-918-0777

[@HoopesJohnC]

Have 2 S3's that need this kind of work. What is shipping and a ballpark charge for this kind of repair?

[@brittanybelford7332]

How much does this cost?

[@WathanaPrak]

+Brittany Belford 804-918-0777

[@iaguilera67]

why not clear the old solder? instead of going thru the hassle of heating and reheating.

[@CryptoBates]

the pins that connect from the motherboard to the usb port broke for me :( is there a way to fix it?

[@slipsby2704]

BadMadPlay you are basically fucked my bro totally fucked

[@anthony6006]

Why does this problem happen with S3?

[@billkingGRx]

nice equipment

[@VanyaYani]

Why are so many people are struggling with camera macro mode? The picture constantly goes out of focus and shaking. Microscope view, however, is awesome.

[@petergarcia378]

My phone not work can you fix it

[@Techno.Belgium]

Some copper connections came off. Does somebody know why this happens?

[@DTSVK]

MoviesAK Too much heat applied. Copper traces are kept on PCB with some kind of solid glue and bond has been lost due to excessive heat.

[@mrjt1081]

Milos Stasko so is it impossible for repair when the copper connections came off?

[@DTSVK]

Jackys Tran There is a way, but not for somebody who damaged PCB. You will need precise skills and good equipment. Simply said, replace loosen track with copper wire. Very thin one, something like used on winding of small electro motors. Just removing isolation from this wire and PCB line can be very tricky.

[@greencells9699]

Im trying to repair them, but im having trouble that when i connect the phone it takes like 20 seconds to start charging. Any tips????

[@TheIronSavior]

It's KAPTON not KRYPTON >.

[@motorcyclerefurbishment8162]

The tape is Kapton PCB Tape...........

[@javanpohl3036]

why not just hot swap?

[@thdgaming2000]

if i send you my can you do it for me?

[@Eric-zi1oz]

Yeah but not everyone has that equipment. Im a ham and i dont even have a heat gun.

[@hollowheresy]

Can I just send my phone to you to fix?

[@WathanaPrak]

Jeremy Ware yes please check our website for details: www.digitallifex.com

[@uawsux]

hey, why cant i just resolder where it is loose,

[@jeromepetty8536]

Can you fix mine

[@WathanaPrak]

+Jerome Petty yes we can please visit www.digitallifex.com for instructions on sending it over for repair

[@jeromepetty8536]

What's the charge?

[@WathanaPrak]

$65

+iRepairMD KZbin 804-918-0777

[@GRAHAM2109]

Still too complicated for me

[@DoktorGSM]

Why you doing it hard way? Removing connector using hot air is ok. Than using soldering machine and copper tape remove all solder from pads and holes. A line new connector, solder pads using soldering machine than turn over main board and solder from bottom side ground pads. To soldering i use flux RMA-7 Alpha Cookson Electronics.

[@MasterOfMadmen]

It's surface mount connections... you can't solder the USB leads from the other side.

[@jackfrost29]

Dude work on your camra skills. You seem like you know what your doing but your off camra or out of focus

[@copwatch1410]

cool

[@electricshockzgaming3986]

Guys you can replace a charging port on a galaxy s3 for less that £10 ($12.50)

[@GRAHAM2109]

Still to complicated for me

[@gamingcrazyness8278]

20

[@leesuschrist]

yeah, i'm pretty sure I could never do this for a living.

[@clumpft]

Why oh why, did I buy this piece of shit phone!!!!! Hope this tute helps

[@Bruno-lw2wh]

And everyone has access to this expensive equipment? What a joke

[@Kalvash]

+Bruno Cester What? The only thing remotely expensive would be the microscope, but that's not necessary at all. If you don't have $25 for a soldering kit then I don't know how you can even afford the phone.

[@Mister.Psychology]

Nearly no one has these micro screwdrivers. I have 100 screwdrivers but not a single one is that small.

[@Kalvash]

Jurij Fedorov Check out eyeglass repair kits. They have very tiny screwdrivers.
