$65 written diagnostic, applied to your repair 11 years board-level Arlington, VA + mail-in from 50 states
A device that won't charge, charges only at a certain angle, or throws a "moisture detected" warning doesn't always need a new port, and a new port doesn't always fix it.
Read the rest
We test what's actually failing first. Walk in at our Arlington, VA lab, or mail your device in from anywhere in the US.
Not always. A device that won't charge can be a worn port, a dirty port, a bad cable, a tired battery, or a charging IC on the board, and they aren't fixed the same way. We test where the fault actually is before quoting. When the port itself is bad, it's usually soldered to the logic board, so replacing it is microsoldering, which is our specialty.
"It won't charge" can mean a worn-out port, a dirty one, a bad cable, a failing battery, or a charging IC on the board that's quietly gone bad, and they don't get fixed the same way.
More detail
So before we quote a port, we test where the fault really is. When the port itself is the problem, the honest part most shops skip is this: on most modern phones, tablets, Steam Decks and Switches, the charging port is soldered directly to the logic board. It's not a clip-in part, replacing it is microsoldering, which is our core specialty.
Why your device won't charge
| Actual fault | The real fix |
|---|---|
| Dirty / packed port | Cleaned, no part needed |
| Worn cable or brick | Swap the accessory |
| Tired battery | Battery replacement |
| Soldered port | Microsolder a new port |
| Charging IC on board | Board-level repair |
We test which one yours is first, so you don't pay for a port when a cleaning or cable was the fix.

Why a charging repair is worth doing right
We're an independent board-level lab, so we're not paid to default to "replace the whole board." Most shops only swap the part they can clip in; when a port is soldered to the logic board, that's where they stop, or they guess.
More on that
We diagnose whether the fault is the port, the charging IC, the battery or just debris, and when it is the port, we do the microsoldering in-house. We'll also tell you honestly when a device isn't worth the repair.
