1. Safe Inspection
We use microscopes to check for bent gold pins or compacted pocket lint that might block connections.
Is your charging cable falling out or only charging at certain angles? We clean and replace ports same day.
A loose or unresponsive charging port is a highly frustrating issue. In many cases, it doesn't even need a full replacement — compact pocket lint just needs to be professionally cleaned out. At Smart Mobiles in Muthupet, we diagnose whether you need a quick safe cleaning or a port replacement, using genuine components.
We use microscopes to check for bent gold pins or compacted pocket lint that might block connections.
If cleaning isn't enough, we carefully desolder the faulty charging port from the sub-board using temperature-controlled soldering rigs.
We solder a fresh premium USB-C, micro-USB, or Lightning port onto the sub-board and test structural connections and charging speeds.
We fix charging ports for all phone brands: Samsung, iPhone, Xiaomi, Redmi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, Nokia, OnePlus, and others.
We offer professional port cleaning and charging port assembly replacements at honest, competitive rates. The service takes **30 to 60 minutes**. We use genuine parts and provide a service warranty.
We will test both when you bring it in. A faulty charging port usually means the phone charges only when the cable is wiggled or held at a certain angle, whereas a bad battery will show charging behavior but drain rapidly or shut off randomly. Our diagnostics are completely free.
We can do both. Sometimes a thorough professional cleaning to remove compacted pocket lint resolves the issue completely. If the internal pins are damaged or broken, we desolder the old port and replace it with a new, high-quality OEM charging port assembly same day.
Most charging port repairs or cleaning are completed in 30 to 60 minutes. It is a quick same-day service, and we carry replacement ports for almost all Android and iPhone models in stock at both our Koyyah Bazaar shops on PKT Road.
Over time, pocket lint and dust get compacted inside the charging port every time you plug in the cable. This prevents the cable from clicking in securely. We can clean this safely without damaging the delicate pins inside. Do not insert safety pins at home, as this will permanent short-circuit the board.
