Phone Charging Port Repair in Surulere, Lagos
If your cable only works at a certain angle, charges slowly, or the phone refuses to charge at all, the charging port or its flex is usually the culprit. We clean, re-solder or replace charging ports for iPhone, Samsung and all Android brands.

Symptoms we see
- Cable only charges when held at an angle
- Charging stops when the phone is moved
- Very slow charging with an otherwise good charger
- No charging at all, and no charging icon
- 'Accessory not supported' or liquid-detected alerts
- Port hot while charging, or visible corrosion inside
Common causes
- Lint, sand and dust compacted into the port from pockets and bags
- Bent or forced cables loosening the port pins
- Water or sweat entering the port and corroding the contacts
- Unstable voltage from generator or cheap chargers damaging the charging IC
- Physical drop shearing the charging flex
Our repair process
- 1
Free diagnostic
We test with a known-good cable and a current meter to separate port, cable, battery and charging-IC faults.
- 2
Deep clean first
Compacted lint and corrosion are removed under magnification — for many phones this is the entire fix, at no part cost.
- 3
Port replacement
Flex-mounted ports are swapped; board-mounted ports are micro-soldered by our board-level technician.
- 4
Charging IC repair
Where the charging chip or a power rail has failed, we repair at board level instead of writing the phone off.
- 5
Load test
We verify charge current, data transfer and temperature before handover.
How long it takes
Cleaning is immediate; a port replacement or soldering job is usually completed the same day, board-level IC work within 24–48 hours.
What you gain
- Reliable fast charging with any standard cable
- Data transfer and wired audio working again
- Cheaper than replacing the phone or living on wireless charging
- Honest diagnosis — you do not pay for a part you do not need
VICFIX Assurance
Written warranty on the replacement port and labour.
Charging faults we fix
Port cleaning, replacement or board repair?
We always start with a free diagnostic. Many phones brought in as "dead" simply have a compacted plug of pocket lint, which we remove at no part cost.
If the port itself is worn or corroded we replace it, and where the port is soldered directly to the logic board our technicians micro-solder a new one instead of telling you the board is gone.
