Introduction
In this short guide I will walk through the process of replacing the charge port on a Motorola G32 ( Model number: XT2235-2 )
Motorola charge port part number: 5P68C21161
this specific repair was a liquid damaged device from a customer.
-
-
Start by heating the device for about 5-10 minutes at approximately 50-70 degrees celsius
-
Use a suction cup on the rear panel of the device to create an initial gap to slide a guitar pick in and separate the rear panel from the device
-
Remove the sim tray from the device
-
-
-
Remove all visable screws on the mid frame of the device and store safely using a PH000 screwdriver
-
-
-
Wedge a pick between the coloured frame and the black plastic screen edge and slide it down each edge of the device to unclip the midframe
-
Once the entire midframe has been removed open to the left side carefully as there is a cable plugged into the main board that is short and easy to damage.
-
-
-
Disconnect the battery connector to isolate power to the device to prevent damage during repair
-
Disconnect the ribbon cable for the fingerprint scanner from the motherboard, at this point you can place the midframe aside.
-
Disconnect the antenna connection and the charge port connection
-
-
-
Remove the loudspeaker and then chargeport board and swap with the new component. Ensuring the water and dust resistant gaskets over the aux port and Type C port are transferred to the new port
-
-
-
Repeat all previous steps in reverse ensuring the battery is plugged in last to prevent damage
-
Re seal the back panel onto the device with a new adhesive gasket, In my case i have cut TESA as close to the original template as possible which for this device will be more than sufficient
-
Hopefully by this point you should have a working device.
