How to Replace the Galaxy S5 Charging Port

[@shanejohannes3264]

I followed this step by step and it worked out perfectly. Right now, my phone is actually charging again! He mentioned that the phone he was working on was previously worked on, so taking off the screen was much easier for him. I used my wife's blow dryer to soften the adhesive and took my time knowing this. For anyone doing this for the first time, just have patience. Don't force the screen to separate, that's the hardest part. Just use a tool to move along and use a blow dryer to heat it up often every time it get harder to separate the screen.

[@markcloudchaser874]

I've just ordered a charger port and it comes with the tools. So a Hair Dryer will definitely do the job? As long as I just take it slowly starting from the top? Thanks.

[@dannihardy7874]

Thank you for your post, I need to try to do this, and I was leary of breaking my phone.

[@markcloudchaser874]

Yeah my glass wasn't even glued to the LCD and it broke the LCD. I put the new charge port in etc and bought a new LCD screen. But I bought the right red tape etc but it doesn't work properly and very poor colour. So I ended up buying a brand new S7.

[@unconsciouscreator3012]

I used a hair dryer and this repair was a great success!

[@DJHComputersLLC]

Heads Up! Great video. Just one note. When putting the antennae cables back on, both lay in the same groove so install the white one first and then the blue one will lay on top. Great job:

[@calamitto]

Thank you! I followed the instruction step by step and successfully repaired my old Galaxy S5! Never repaired smartphones before and still succeeded.

[@dbshipman7787]

I see a lot of negative comments about this video but 1. He clearly states that the phone he is using has been taken apart before and he also states how much more difficult it will be with a new phone. And 2. You should never attempt to do a repair of this difficulty without having some experience in how phones are put together. I did it and it works perfectly. This is just to show you the steps you must take to get the job done. Good video!! TY!! RockIT Tech!!

[@legendhell2]

Reading all the comments I decided to pay to the expert rather than doing it myself to do it as it may bring series of another problems for my phone. Thank god I read the comments firsthand....

[@Shadow77999]

Lol

[@Chris-go9ti]

has that screen fallen out from using the same old dirty adhesive that was already on it? The average persons is full of dirt or the dirt gets pushed to the sticky part when taking it apart.

[@belladavis2829]

usually before I do a repair (I do friend's screens and stuff) I take an alcohol swab and just thoroughly wipe down the area to avoid that. while yeah, dirt gets in the adhesive, it's usually not enough dirt to make it not reusable once. twice or more, I'd say go and use a new adhesive.

[@katherinemorgan2632]

Darn it! I have to clean that nasty dirt outta the way every time. What a drag huh? LMAO! Is it my imagination or is the comment made about too much dirt getting all over the adhesive (and logically speaking it must be all over the inside of some poor unsuspecting owners phone too) was that a male type individual? And the reply made about some small effort needed to wipe stuff down with alcohol swab...BEFORE you really dig in to it. Then it's a negligible amount of dirt getting in to crust up your tiny adhesive strips so you can reuse them several times. That was from a female type person? Figures...😝

[@Chris-go9ti]

Alcohol destroys adhesive.

[@johnson3446]

Before you go through all this trouble try blowing the port out with compressed air after spraying a shot of QD electronic cleaner. Use a tiny flathead screwdriver to gently and carefully move thin cotton fabric or paper shop towel over the contacts, or use a clean toothbrush. I did all of the above and my old charging port works again.

[@B1itZ3r]

Great runthrough dude. Took my time taking the screen off for the first time indefinitely. I was heat gunning for at least 20 minutes in about 30 second intervals before I even attempted to lift the corner of the screen out. I think the key is patience, just little by little by little, putting the isesamo tool underneath the screens edges and gently twisting it to ease the glue underneath. I found that I had to constantly go back to heat gunning the screen as I was working my way around lifting it up. Especially the bottom where the home button is. I gotta emphasize how much patience and gentle handedness is needed to take the screen off though. Took me a whole hour just to take the screen out. The minute you get impatient you WILL crack the glass. Hope that helps anyone else.

[@ojay3704]

what adhesive do you use in your screen when you put it back?

[@morganite1018]

what kind of tool is that double sided spudger? is it nylon or metal, and where can I find one?

[@LittleLarryJoe]

I did it! Scared the crap out of me pulling the screen off! It's definitely an easy fix but you sweat buckets till it turns on again! Thanks for posting this!

[@SireSquish]

Nice one!

[@AudioInklined]

They make you defeat three bosses, die once, come back to life by miracle and DISMANTLE THE WHOLE DAMN PHONE just to get to the charging port. That sucks. But the video was excellent.

[@Grey-Troll]

STILL better than crapple. :)

[@jeffreydeutsch7336]

Thanks for the video. I have a related question. My phone no longer warns me when the charge port cover is open. With the back off, I see nothing in the little pocket where the cover latches. Is detection on the charge port board? I am not quite in need of a new usb jack yet but wonder if replacement will fix both problems. Thanks for any advise.

[@ccdenice]

What determines if your port is bad? I'm going thru trying to eliminate the battery and charging cables but only some work intermittently and stop/start charging within seconds. Thinking about just taking it to the pros (?)

[@zachnichol3324]

[@brianheiden6623]

Having a hella of a time with those two different phones having issues with the munu buttons and lights not working? Any suggestions?Going to try one more time.

[@JD-hr1ct]

Can you use a 900T charging port in a 900V phone? Also, one of the pink double sided adhesive strips tore when I did this. The pink adhesive strips have a metal core. I can't think of any reason the broken strip would be a problem, but do you know if I should be concerned?

[@barbarasigona4760]

Thanks for the video. A little plastic cylinder, about 3mm across, popped out, and I don't know where it goes. My guess is that it has to do with a button, but I don't see how.

[@calamitto]

Same here, a little white thingy popped out lol. I have no idea where it comes from. I reassembled the phone without it and it doesn't seem like it's missing any details.

[@theoliotsakis]

After I was done putting the screen back on, I didn't see the back arrow and all the black glue stuff was gone. Anyway to replace this?

[@CecilDSouza]

You are really good at demonstrating this procedure. It seems like you have done it many times. But you must make people aware to be careful of the screws. Also, you did not wear antistatic band or gloves which is essential. Thank you for your help.

[@dramaking9377]

Very nice! Clear patient demo detailing the whole repair process!

[@moirawade6246]

Hi, I just had this repair done and now the GPS isn't working. Can you tell me if one of the wires you removed and replaced was the GPS antenna? Plz answer, I am leaving town and this guy has to fix this right. By looking at your video, I learned he did not replace the cover and 3 screws in the battery compartment.

[@gman3489]

had this work done on my phone, now I seem to lose network signal often. a problem I didn't have prior to replacing charging port. do u think the antenna wires might be loose?

[@burritohut]

[@robleingang]

Hey thanks for the great video! How much do you charge to replace the S5 charger port? Thanks again, your very skillful!

[@gewissenwissenschaft3250]

Hello Mate! I am having an issue with My S5 GH-900P which is not holding charge, even when shut-off, is drainning fully within minutes. THe battery was tested and is ok. I took it to a Samsung Dealer and they claimed there was an issue with the board, but did not specified if it is with the main one (mother) or the charging port board. Do you think this issue could be triggered by the USB charging board (cheaper and easier to change). Thanks a lot for the video!

[@rodoloforodriguez6156]

me do you know what are the requirement to star a business doing this. for example if i need license or permits.

[@davidme8623]

The first part is the toughest part and he breezes right thru it like its easy peasy. Find a different video to watch or you will break your screen using his method

[@wyatt8888]

I was looking for a disclaimer during the video. Totally agree, the screen never comes off this easily during an S5 repair. You need to ask yourself if you want to risk shattering the very fragile screen just to replace a charge port. Plus, upon reassembly you'll need to keep in mind that this phone will never be the same. It's practically impossible to find adhesive like the stuff from the factory. This repair is difficult and risky.

[@scottmadison6373]

i did ;(

[@kaetsuwu]

Wyatt Russell too late

[@DannyCD]

Same here, too late. Fuck modern smart phones, they're purposely made to be extremely difficult to fix so that you would buy a new one and/or so that you'll get expensive warranties.

[@Meekerextreme]

I just did this, screen wasn't an issue you just go slow but the black trim gets fucked up and the sticker doesn't come off as clean as any of the videos (oh wait he never shows the front afterwards). I just made a video, so yeah this is just buying you time is how I put it...I can spend the $500-$750 now but I rather not...if I get 6 months or a year good enough for me.

[@brandonjackson9315]

I'm not sure which replacement charging port to buy. When I google the it, the g900h, g900t, g900v and several others come up. How do I know which one is the correct port to buy?

[@sleepspacee]

Whatever model of your phone is. You can check by going into the setting and clicking phone info. It should say G900 and whatever letter is next to it is your phone model.

[@VsUK]

Good video, helped me replace my charger motherboard that broke. Unfortunately, I broke my LCD screen removing it. I have a 3D printer & left it on the hod bed for a good 30 minutes at 80c & still the middle of the screen refused to un stick. In the end, I lost my patience & forced it off. The glue is hard & this was a phone I had since getting it from my mobile phone service provider. Clearly the glue is intended to stop self fixing.

[@JakDac]

Samsung Galaxy S5 G900M USB Charging Port same replacement part as Samsung Galaxy S5 G900I ?

[@SavDavo]

I had a small silver piece fall out and cannot seem to locate where it came from. Perhaps a shield for the 2 wires connecting the charging port. Anyone ideas?

[@katherinemorgan2632]

i dont think anyone mentioned cleaning adhesive with alcohol, just everything in the work area and possibly outside of the phone to remove all that yucky debris you mentioned that sticks to and ruins the adhesive. (personally, i like the alcohol sterile wipes because they are dampened enough to clean but not dripping, drowning or destroying anything). the insides of an S5 that the owner hasnt attempted to take a look see inside for themselves are very clean. only debris ive seen in there is directly related to accidental part destruction by big, strong and much too aggressive hands. military might call it friendly fire, i would imagine the scenarios could be compared.

[@houstonsblast713]

Can you just replace the charging port and fix the charging issue?

[@realraven2000]

Should I by a special heat tool to fix it or chance my arm and give it to one of the Irish repair shops with a 50% chance of getting it back more broken than I handed it in? 80degrees Celsius sounds like a lot

[@hackster101]

The key to successfully removing the screen is heat carefully and uniformly applied. If force is applied to a cold screen, it will break. If a heat gun is not available, a hair dryer should work. 80 degrees Celsius = 176 degrees Fahrenheit. I use a digital infrared thermometer to monitor the phone temperature while heating. Once a proper uniform heat is achieved, the glue on the screen will turn loose.

[@colinmccauley6217]

Great video, but at the end, it looks like the screen is not water tight now and no new glue was added to the screen edge, i would think this is not the best plan.... this repair will fix the charging port, some issues with overheating when chargining if battery is good, and will make data transfer work good and faster, charging will be factory speed again fast, and comes with a new microphone if you have microphone issues. Excellent video 10/10

[@davidcarr8575]

Superb video. Was able to follow along easily and it worked out perfectly. New charge port for less than $8 CDN, and phone back in running order (ok, I am a novice and actually cooked the screen a little too much so some damage but all on me for that). Thank you so much. The only note to make was that on my phone the white cable ran in the channel underneath the blue cable.

Worked for me. Got a little lost when you went out of camera but worked it out.

[@ritpg77]

You should emphasize the possibility of the digitizer separating from the glass and sticking to the frame in which case it cracks and has to be replaced as an entire glass/digitizer unit at great cost. You never say there are 2 main parts: glass and digitizer and that the digitizer is the more fragile part. I wonder how many phones have been destroyed because of this video.

[@paulaakompong4861]

Mine has! For that very reason!

[@aaronstately]

If you have a damaged charge port, simply buy a S5 battery charge cradle and swap the batery over when empty. Even have 3 batteries in rotation... its easier than destroying your phone, and it will only cost you $20.

[@shadowdemon704]

I was gonna do this but I just ordered some stuff off Amazon I bought a QI Receiver Adapter to make it work with a wireless charge pad, hopefully it works. IF not I will try the cradle do u think the charge pad thing will work?

[@getphonefixservice7943]

[@karlnapf848]

The Samsung S5 is still usable today - but it's one of the most difficult phone to repair. How can you place the essential hardware pieces so unfortunate that you have to remove the strongly glued and expensive display unit if you only want to replace the charging port, which costs a few bucks? What a crap, the designer was probably on drugs. The danger of destroying the touchscreen unit and its fragile ribbon cable by disassembly is very high.

[@rickhowe5082]

I can tell you exactly why. They want you to buy a new phone, instead of repair. These were designed in such a way to discourage repair work, or at the very least force you to break the screen or digitizer which results in a more costly repair. Either way, big tech wins because you had to give them more money.

[@akilshaikh7633]

Excellent job sir good lessons for us Thanks

[@antoinettewillis-wheeler4113]

What happens if the screw can't come out

[@davidme8623]

You make this look so easy when yours pops right off when in reality the glue is extremely stuck to the phone and ribbons so it is extremely difficult to do it without breaking it. Totally misleading. and i had mine hot to the touch while trying to pry it up with the same tools you were using. It would have also helped to say that glue is towards the center of screen as well as edges. Not happy with your video.
