Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Samsung Galaxy S8 USB-C charging port needs repair?
Typical signs include loose cable fit, charging only at an angle, repeated connect and disconnect behaviour, slow charging or the device not being recognised by a computer.
Should I try a different cable first?
Yes. A faulty cable or adapter can look like a port fault. If the issue happens with multiple known-good cables, the port may need repair.
How long does this repair take?
The part is normally sourced to order with a 1 working day pre-order lead time. Once available, the repair and testing are usually completed the same day.
Will data be affected?
No. Charging port replacement is a hardware repair and does not normally affect the data stored on your phone.
What warranty is included?
This repair includes a 12-month warranty covering the fitted charging port part and our workmanship.
