The Most In-Demand Charging Port Repair

USB Type-C has become the universal charging standard for Android phones, tablets, laptops, and even game consoles. With billions of Type-C devices in use, charging port damage is one of the most common repairs customers need. This module teaches you how to replace Type-C charging ports using professional micro-soldering techniques.

Type-C ports have many small pins that must be precisely aligned and soldered to the board. You will learn the complete process: safely removing the damaged port with hot air, cleaning and preparing the pads, aligning the new port, and soldering it in place using a combination of hot air and soldering iron techniques. We cover the common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Our custom practice boards include Type-C port pad layouts that match real-world devices, so you can practice removal and installation repeatedly until the process becomes second nature. We also cover how to test the repair to ensure both charging and data transfer work correctly.

Type-C charging port replacement is a high-volume, high-margin repair. Customers pay $60 to $100 or more for this service, while the replacement port costs just a few dollars. This is the kind of everyday repair that keeps a shop busy and profitable.
