can anyone tell me how to go about changing my mini usb charging port on my t959v, maybe a link to a video. looks like there is soldering involved, dont want to mess it up thanks

thank u but this does not show how to remove charging port
it would be easy enough to remove, but I think you want to replace the mini-usb port with one that works. If the phone is really not charging you should try replacing the charger first.
To remove it, you basically need a soldering iron and braided wick to suck up the solder, but soldering a new one looks like surface mount stuff to me. they do that with solder paste and a skinny iron or a hot air device. Search for tutorials on surface mount soldering. You might find that one of the contacts in the photo is broken and can be bridged and then you might not need to remove it.

Have a service do it for you
You might try that guy who is advertising that unbrickable mod for $40, after checking to make sure the problem is not with the charger or the USB cable.

I have just bought an imate 9502 with a broken charger port (usb plug) inside someone has tried to fix it by linking the pins from the usb port to the pcb but have failed so bad that they have completely f*ct where the pins soilder to the pcb, i was hoping someone with a 9502 would be willing enough to open theres and take some macro photos of the usb port so that i can attempt to trace back where the tracks go and fix my phone.
Any help would be great thx.
P.s in the meantime does aybody know where i can get an external battery charger?
I ended up fixing it by removing the old usb plug and replacing it with a new one and than tracing back the power wires on the pcb than i bit of trial nd error but in the end found them, soildered some tiny copper wires back to the new plug and it now charges perfect
Only downside is that the usb still doesen't work so no sync with the pc at all
which usb plug did you need and where did you get it from?
it would help alot as i am also thinking of doing this to mine
I'm trying to root my daughters phone. Problem is... her USB port is broke. Is this possible? I've tried gingerbreak with no luck, and am having trouble finding anything on this.
Thanks in advance!
You're going to want to be buying a new USB cable. There is no other way to root other than doing it on a computer.
Never mind, I realized you said port and not cable. I don't think there is anything you can do. Sorry.
How broken is the port? It's pretty easy for anyone who's handy with a soldering iron to replace.
The solder points are just sooo close together. I don't think I could do it.
I've done them myself. Know anyone who solders a lot? Maybe you can get them to replace it for you if you order the part.

This should be a compatible part.
If you are brave enough to do it... just pour solder over all the pins, then use your iron plus solder-wick to suck up all the solder in between the pins. ...and remember to use your multimeter to check for shorts before powering up. Make sure there is a lot of solder on the retention tabs too so it doesn't break again.
You're forgetting one key point. BUY LIQUID FLUX. A dry joint will be impossible to work with. But if you add some extra flux, the solder will flow nicely and tend to hug the pins instead of bridging.
Hi
I have major problem with my tablet and usb socket has been pried from board have taken a quick look at damage and a replacement or solder of new one is out of question and metal contacts on pcb has been damaged also.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way of bypassing so I can still charge.
Can I bypass the small circuit board where USB connector is and hard wire battery connections directly onto USB itself.
This tablet has always served me so well dont want to give up on it just yet as cant afford a new one.
Fairly confident with soldering etc just curious as to whether it will work and best way to wire it up
So recently I've come into possession of a nexus 5 which the usb port has been melted to the charger. The daughterboard is in perfect condition other than the melted port. The damage appears to have been caused dust and other stuff shorting the board port and melting the plastic, so I'm confident that I can safely use the board with a replaced port.
Seeing as I'm planning on replacing the port I figured I might as well try put a usb-c port in. I've been doing research the past couple of days about this, it seems like it would be easy to implement as just a UFP or peripheral port(charging, connecting to pc) but I'm having trouble finding a way to get DRP(dual-role port, so I can use otg) to work.
I have found the TUSB320 and TUSB321, which look like they would do exactly what I want. However I don't fully understand how and where to connect them or even which one would be better/easier to use.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated
If worst comes to worst my plan is just to buy a new daughterboard.
No you can't do that, Nexus 5 has microusb not usb-c.
Ok, I have a realme 1 that is dying, I have posted on the new phone thread but I do not expect to get a phone that meets my needs better in all aspects.

The issue is that the micro USB connector is getting worn down and the battery discharges in a few hours. Even new I used to have days on which my battery 3950mAH would be exhausted by the end of the day.
I want to do the following thing
Replace the micro USB port with a USB C port. physically my phone is a plastic fantastic and I plan to carve/shave out the few mm with a knife/scalpel and fill any voids with a combination of expoy putty and expoxy glue. My problem is how to do the internal wiring. I have done some soldering but nothing on a PCB. The most fine work I have done is patch speaker wires. Every repair person i have talked to says that it is absolutely impossible to do. I would appreciate it if someone could walk me through it.
Realme has now released phones with a 6000 mAH battery, So I propose to separate the back cover, carve any obstructions, create any posts needed with epoxy putty, and fix the battery with hot glue. Again the problem is the connections. I realize that the thickness of the phone will increase due to this and plan to fill the gap with epoxy and hot glue.
Yes, I realize that my phone is going to be a Frankenstein's monster. As long it works well I don't care.
I would appreciate it if someone could guide me

You know you can get a USB C chip for really cheap (compatible with the processor)? All youd have to do then is attach the ribbon cables, enlarge the port hole and test to see if power passes through with a cable. Make sure not to use too much glue, however, because when the phone heats up the glue may melt and run over the motherboard, resulting in a ruined phone.

I was already prepared to enlarge the opening, please tell me about this chip. where Can i find more information on that?

There is actually a YouTuber that I conveniently forgot the name of... But he does DIY projects like this, like adding a headphone jack to iPhone 7s and stuff. Call if modding. But his parts come from Chinese marketplaces. I would suggest you research a USB C component chip. Not sure how old your phone is but they are basically universal depending on the OS supported hardware (like Android 9+ supporting QC3.0).
Thank you again for replying. I do not need quick charge. It came with 2A 10 W chip, and that's enough. Cannot I connect the USB C port to the input on my phone. Most USB C implementations are USB 2.0, SO that SHOULD be 4 pins and 5v at max 2 A.
Problem is that that the repair centers are assuring me that is not the case.
