Broken Charging Ports
When your device refuses to charge unless you twist the cable just right, it’s not a coincidence it’s a sign of a failing charging port. At Stop to Fix, we specialize in charging port repair for phones, tablets, and laptops, restoring charging power the same day.
How Charging Ports Get Damaged
Charging ports are one of the most used components in a device. Damage often comes from:
- Forcing the cable in the wrong angle
- Using cheap or oversized chargers
- Dust and lint buildup
- Wearing down metal pins
- Moisture exposure
- Dropping the device while plugged in
Because ports are small and fragile, DIY attempts often worsen the issue.
Stop to Fix Technician Process
1. Microscopic Port Inspection
The technician checks pin alignment, debris, corrosion, and solder joints.
2. Precision Cleaning
Using micro-tools, dust and lint are safely removed.
3. Port Reflow or Replacement
With micro-soldering, our specialists repair loose pins or replace the entire port.
4. Charging Flow Test
Voltage, current, and heat levels are measured.
5. Human Interaction Test
The technician physically plugs and unplugs cables multiple times to ensure durability.
Results After Repair
- Fast charging returns
- No more cable twisting
- Stable power flow

If your device charges only “sometimes,” it means the port is failing.
