Galaxy S5 Charging Port Replacement 

PLEASE WATCH THE NEW VERSION HERE ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SIr7zsj42aA.html

Patience, patience, patience. If you don't have it, don't try it. I was nervous about removing the screen. I took my time in removing it. The important thing is not to pry it up. I kept moving the picks around the screen and reheating as needed. It took me over 30minutes to do it. Success in the end and the phone now charges again.

Thank you! My charging port had water damage to it, so I bought a replacement port on eBay for £3.50, and replaced it myself using this brilliant tutorial. Thanks for the great work fella!

Worked great for me. I've never done any cell phone repair, but the port fizzled out after only a year, so I thought it was worth a try. THANK YOU!!!

Followed all your steps and I watched your video on how to remove the screen. Everything went perfectly! The only issue I had was trying to remove a stripped screw (my phone was previously opened and I assume the guy stripped a screw). It took some time and a lot of patience but I managed to do this within 3 hours (first time messing with this stuff ever). For those intimidated by the task, just take your time, don't get pissed off, work at it slowly and you can do it!

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Instead of a hair dryer or hot plate, I used a heat gun which quickly brought the frame up to glue-release temperature, being mindful of the 850°F minimum coming out of it and not melting anything. Ripped the foil in the back slightly but carefully put it back in place. The Home button stayed stuck to the AMOLED, so I left it there during the teardown and reassembly. I left the antennas (I had two - Verizon phone) connected to the other board as I removed them from the charge/USB sub board, so I only had to make two reconnections. Everything works like a charm and it's your video that was instrumental in my success. Thanks again!

My Galaxy is back from the dead. Thank You 'Go Cell Phone Repair', an excellent walkthrough.

I've followed the instructions on this video and had absolutely no issues changing the charging port. I made sure I've applied enough heat and nothing got broken (had to use a hair dryer as I do not have a heat gun). Thank you very much for this tutorial. Saved my wallet some good bucks.

Very good! I just changed the charge port on my S5 and couldn't have done it w/o your help. To anyone attempting.. You must go slow. the screen removal was more difficult than I expected, but the tips here and the linked video are invaluable. I used heat gun and credit cards. once the screen is off the rest of the process is easy aside from getting the mid frame apart. Mine was snapped in pretty well. All back together, screen works, and I'm charging again. Thanks again!

Dude you are the bomb. This repair started out as the one of the hardest I have attempted and when I found and watched your video it made it one of the easiest. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I just changed the charging port! I watched the new 2016 version first because my screen was never taken off before. It took almost 3 hours to do everything since I use a blow dryer instead of a heat gun but that glue is super attached. It was very hard to take out the screen and I keep on reheating and nudging with playing cards and the triangle over and over again till I feel little to no resistance. Everything works fine and I saved so much money!

Perfectly detailed video. It is tricky but can be done - just take your time. Followed along with the video including the UPDATED screen removal video. Took 30 min to remove the screen with repeated heatings. About 1.5 hours total time. Still works and it CHARGES.

Followed each step verbatim. Took us a few hours bbut we got it completely fixed. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for posting this video! Glad I didn't read the comments below before I attempted this, because I probably wouldn't have, not having worked on a cell phone before. But my phone is back together and working fine now! Two minor issues I ran into were that my home button has sunk and is slightly askew compared to before, though it still works fine. The other is that since I didn't watch this all the way through before beginning, I didn't have extra adhesive in advance - there was still some on my phone, but kind of messed up. I smoothed it out as best I could and stuck it back together anyway, but it'd be better to have new adhesive.

This tutorial is gold. followed every step and every "be careful" in there. Thanks so much.

Thanks mate! I got the part for $3 and fixed an otherwise perfect phone that would've ended up in the recycling bin. Was a little tricky getting the glass off being the first time but actually went better than expected and stuck back together just fine. Cheers!

Thanks for this video. I repaired mine in 2020-09. I got the message that the charger or cord was not the original and that the one I was using was incompatible with my phone. Sometimes it would charge for a couple of minutes then it stops and I get this message. I've been charging with different cords and different chargers for years and never had a problem. I looked for apps to diagnose and/or fix it to no avail. The phone is getting old so I'm sure techs have more interesting things to do. I also got the port sharing message saying I should get the app for it. It wasn't available at Samsung. The app I found was on Playstore and showed one page that doesn't move until you attach the phone to another device. I finally just sent for a new charge port and installed it. I haven't had a problem since. It was not an easy job. If you're not good at fixing electronic gadgets don't attempt it. Getting the glass off the front without breaking it was kind of "hair raising". Keep the heat on it. I kept jamming many pieces of plastic (bottle caps) in every place I could get at. This is the video that I used. I've had cords go bad on me in the past. It's frustration when they work if you bend them one way and not the other. If you keep getting these messages, don't kid yourself it's a bad charging port. I had another phone like this with a port that had a metal piece work loose inside the port. When I plugged it in, it shorted the wires. I wedged it back into position with a needle using a microscope. It didn't do lasting damage. The computer that I had it plugged into kinda went berserk for a minute. It shut down the usb port temporarily.

GM Service Tech, Your video repair on the Galaxy S5 phone was amazing!! I am not technically savvy, so I will have my phone professionally repaired!! Thank you, Denise Dunn Columbia, Maryland

Mate!!!! I just did it. Wireless Cables too easy!! Take the screen off from the phone, That's the big deal!!. Thank you so much for sharing this video, you just saved me 250 dollars.

I broke the screen, digitizer, and fingerpring/home button. Im usually good at repairing phones as i have repaired other parts in other phones; but this is a tricky one. So i agree with what the others said about you're better off with a battery charger and extra battery.

Wow. I bought the parts and tools on eBay, I followed this video step by step. It took me almost 2 hours but I got it done!!! Awesome video!!!

I am glad I watched this video first. I was debating fixing my charging port but after watching this, I have decided to stick with using 2 batteries. Great tutorial.

Awesome, worked like a charm, thank you very much. the screen replace was tricky an myself like most don't have a heat gun so i did it a little different. I'm not going to recommend it, I'll just say that it worked for me. I took a frying pan and heated it up on LOW heat, i then took a full piece of paper towel and folded it twice making it 1/4 the size, placed that in frying pan and placed cellphone with BATTERY, sim and memory card REMOVED on top of it screen down. this gave it good indirect heat. after maybe 3 minutes and constantly checking it for temperature the screen came off relatively easily and heat distributed evenly to all edges. I'd do it again, but use you're own judgement. best of luck, and thanks again for the post.

I started with a wreck of a phone, and it looked even worse when I'd finished. But the tutorial was good, and got the job done! All now functional!

Great vid - thank you. Replaced the faulty charging port on my brothers S5 using your video to help.

This is Really amazing, I fallowed your instructions and fixed my phone. You are the BEST Thank you So much

Just fixed my phone thanks to this video! Can't thank you enough!!!

You did the right thing by adding the caution notice to the video. Well done. I admire you for that.

thank you for making this video. I was able to fix my phone using the instructions from this video and the other one about removing the screen.

Great video, shows every single step. I am pretty confident in doing my own repairs but after watching this, when it finally dies all the way I am paying someone else to do it. :)

Thank you very much for this video. It is exactly what I was looking for to fix my charging problem on my Samsung Galaxy S5. Now, I just have to track down the part. Any resources would help from you. 10 star review.

Very nice video, phone wouldn't charge just gave the bad charger display. No other chargers or removing battery would fix it. So i fixed my phone with this tutorial, but i used 3 credit cards as dividers for splitting the glue and screen. Keeping a card under a side once it was separated then moving on to other. Didn't have a heat gun, just a hair dryer not much different just doesn't get as hot, might be a good thing so it didn't overheat. Once the glue was loose from sides, the screen has a sticky back side on the copper strips. Its easier to see once you split the sides and get light under it.

thank you so much It took time and patience to do this, and I fowllled the directions step by step;your so helpful. 😊

As I told you yesterday that I tried to remove the screen I broke the LCD a tiny bit in the corner but I still had my charge port to go in and that's now in so thanks very much for your help. I have a new screen coming in a few days with the LCD and just incase I bought a new home button as mines lost its tape. But ive tried charging it and it works so just need those 2 items and I should be good. It only cost all together 28 pounds. For the home button and LCD screen. Can't wait lol

thank you so much for this video. My phone was rejecting all chargers, and the local fix-it guys wouldn't touch it because of having to remove the screen to reach it (didn't want to be responsible for a cracked screen or amoled). This video saved me from having to buy a whole new phone!

Holy cow! Very well done video sir. Just enough detail to keep me glued to the screen throughout...and possibly steer me towards paying the insurance cost to replace the broken USB port on my phone. Your patience is much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your abilities. One question: How do you learn the specifics of what to do in order to disassemble a particular unit in order to swap out the parts?

Very Good Thorough Video. Thank You for taking the time to do this.

Wow - We did it! Thanks for the calm and detailed instructions. The phone still works and now charges :)

this is the best video ive found on this S5 Repair, thank you for posting.

I just changed my mother in law's charging port and thanks to this video I was able to successfully do it I want to thank u very much I'm really happy that I was able to Make her happy thank u very much keep on making good videos like this one Cheers!!

Fixed ma phone perfectly using this video! Thanks so much buddy!! :) have a great day.

Thank you I saved my phone by watching this steps over and over again. 💓

This process is a very hard! I figured since I am a very patient and pay close attention to detail that this would be and easy fix, well I was wrong. I shattered that amoled and ripped up the Golden foil. I definitely recommend a guitar pick like he uses.

Wish I'd read the comments here first. Same as others, I got the pick between the glass and AMOLED, ruined the display. Now I'm looking at a $150 part, all because this video didn't call out to be careful to get UNDER the copper foil. I applaud you for creating a nice video for this and I understood the risks, but might be good to edit it to make sure people know how deep the pick needs to go. Being cautious cost me big $$$.

Great video and mission success when I followed this! thank you!!

Great, detailed video man, really helped alot. Thanks for sharing.

So glad I was able to change the battery port successfully [my phone was not charging but now it is! :)] but when I try and turn on the phone the power button isn't turning the phone on. I opened the phone back up and made sure all the connections were in place. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

dude, amazing. helping me out with a spare phone in 2019

Thanks for the video, I successfully replaced the port with you procedure

Never had much luck with that regardless how patient I am. Getting another used phone instead. This one served me well for 7 years (and it was already well-used before I bought it)

great video! I had to replace my screen a couple of weeks ago. Now my S5 doesn't charge at all. should I open the phone to see if I have loosened a cable or is it safe to say the USB port is broken and I can go ahead and order the replacement part?

thank you for the instructional video... very helpful...

Excellent repair instruction video!!

Incredibly helpful video, thank you so much.

Excellent tutorial, thanks for sharing

VERY good tutorial. Took me an hour and a half but went all smooth. Thanks and keep up the good work! ;)

Nice Video .... but unfortunately - a little bit (2x2mm) of the black color next to the menu touch key gone off as the adhesive was too strong - the microphone is ok now but the return and the menu button are not reacting anymore Has this to do with the display or with the USB board which I replaced?

thank you I manage it to fix it but I need a screen replacement and the divider between the screen and the body

Extremely helpful! Many, many thanks.

thank you for the video, I just did this last night and my future wife is very happy now, though I'll admit it wasn't as easy for me as the video made it look!

Thank you, I'm completely surprised that this worked, but it did!!!

Thanks for the video, help me out tremendously.

excellent video ....very informative ...

Thank you for post this video... It seems to be very fun to open this phone.. Ill do myself ... Even when its not mine

Thanks, I wish I'd seen this before buying a new connector - I thought the device was assembled with screws... ;-) Note: I think this is fairly difficult under all circumstances. But be especially careful if the screen is chipped. I got around three sides without problems - but when I reached a ​small chip in the edge near the top corner the screen literally exploded...

Very good DIY Thank you!!!!!

Help! The covers (as seen dangling there at minute 9:35) for the soft keys on my charging port replacement (which matches my phone, G900P) have the white tabbed adhesive covers but then also have a white "panel" on one side under one of the white adhesive protectors. Is this an additional sticker? I don't see how it is going to work with my phone.

Mann! Thanks a lot! You really help me out with this! Greetings From Panama

Too bad for me I broke the screen, I was trying to bring this good phone back to live because my Note 8 just died so I got a new battery and the charging port, but made a mess with the screen, I guess I'll try to find another one. Great video! Thanks.

Hey i just replace my charging flex just like what you did and it turns great. However i did notice something new to my phone. First, when i charge my phone back button is not working but when remove the charger back button is working fine although you need to put more pressure to make it function not like before just a simple tap and back button is working. 2nd, when im going to a dial/call it is very delay to response to make a call. What do u think is the problem?

Got mine back together.. it turned on and seemed to work ok. Made phone calls and actually charged. BUT said "can't connect to voice mail" and would not send or receive texts on the screen.. just the status bar at the top. So I went to take it back apart.. screen broke.. now nothing works. A used S5 on craigslist is less than a new screen.. guess what route I'm going

Good video sir, what I found out was that I'm gonna have to take my wife's s5 to a place here in Bartlett Tn to get it repaired. I've worked on electronics in the past but this one is gonna be too difficult for my old hands. Nevertheless this is a great video!

Very good tutorial.

Before you go through all this trouble try blowing the port out with compressed air after spraying a shot of QD electronic cleaner. Use a tiny flathead screwdriver to gently and carefully move thin cotton fabric or paper shop towel over the contacts, or use a clean toothbrush. I did all of the above and my old charging port works again.

Many thanks, followed your video, seemed to work a treat and shows that it is charging on the screen, but it won't turn on. I have taken it apart again and the back together but still no joy, any ideas?

The lcd glass display was removed easily using a heat gun, with patience. Unfortunately I cute a piece corner of the conductive tap of the lcd and the lcd does't display when I power on. I used a plastic card to slide under. Can this be repaired or the full glass lcd? You might want to warn people about not sliding too far under at the top section of display. At 3min you caution about the top right corner nad the guitar pick seems to go far insde as you slide om the right at the same time. I wished I had know about this risk when sliding in mu card along the top. Thanks

Thanks for all your help. I must have damaged the digitizer, I'll order a new one. I know the charging ports are specific to each model of the S5, G900F for US Cellular vs. G900V and others for different companies. Are screens universal or are they specific to each model? Thanks again!

Daaaayyummm!! That wasn't easy but I did it following this video. Bits of black coating came off da screen, must have got it too hot. Looks as hairy arsed as the rest of my stuff now, so it fits right in! Big Mahalo, no more need da Coconut Wireless.

i have replaced many Samsung galaxy s5 screens but my question is why do they not ever stay attached the adhesive sticky back and the screen pops out? do you recommend a specific adhesive tape boarder brand in particular?

Thank God for you. Saved me bro

I was able to successfully change the charging port however my touch screen did not work when I booted the phone back up. I did tear part of the foil behind the screen when taking it off. Is that the issue? Thank you!

@sabina wiggins Unfortunately you'll probably have to open it up again and check for a bad connection or defective part.

Video said the adhesive was primarily around the edges. This was not the case with my phone. The screen was stuck very firmly to the frame behind it in the middle by two lines of tape on the foil, and I ended up cracking the LCD as I tried to pry it up from the frame. The glass came off the screen much easier than the screen came off the frame. Even after I gave up on gentleness once the screen was obviously broken, it took a lot of force to get the remains of the screen off the frame. Also, I don't see how the home button comes off the screen. Even with the glass off the now broken screen, I can't see how to peacefully pull the home button off the glass. Atleast it was just a kids toy at this point, so I'm not out anything besides the cost of the replacement port.

Ok I got a quick question, when doing the antenna I have a blue one but also a white one? My charger port looks like yours and there is no slot for it

Later versions of S5 have the home button attached to the amoled. It's a plastic cover to the module below it. So don't try to detach it from the amoled. It comes out with the amoled. In some versions of port replacemen, like this one, it shows a detachment tool being run over the button. Don't do it, if that's that case.

attempting a repair Galaxy S5 charging port. After seperating logic board from frame I noticed a small white plastic cap, and can't figure out where it goes. is it important? Do I need it? Help!!

Thanks, my old S5 works again!

Thnx for this video, I replaced the dock connector with succes!

I tore a small portion of my LCD ribbon removing the screen and now my digitizer does not work. I just ordered a replacement for $115. Great video but be careful working along the top of the screen. These ribbons are fragile and they will rip if you push on them with the guitar pick type tool used to pry the glass.

yeah you gusy maked this look really easy because you've already taken the screen off multiple times. I ended up damaging the amoled because you never mentioned the fact that it can seperate from the glass on the front of the screen.

Thank you, this helped me out a lot, the scary part was that my phone was really stubborn and i had to use a dimond drill bit to get some of my screws out, but i did it. Lol

thankyou for you video. excelent

can i reaplace galaxy s5 sm-g900w8 usb charger port wih another seria number part cause I cant fine mine?

the best video thanks a lot bro

so i repaired my charging port, soft keys, part of the motherboard by simply replacing the old with the new G900A part but when my new part is connected it nullifies the imei, baseband, basically removing the "phone" function of the phone. how do i repair this part and get my imei and everything to stay valid as it is with the original part

hy i changed it perfectly after watching this video everything is fantastic , charging is working now but touch keys are not working even i have changed the port twice and its the same version as the orignal ones but still touch keys are not working at all any idea why?

i replaed charger port but ripped the orange foil just a bit the phone turns on and lights work as normal but i cant unlock the phone or anwser incoming phone calls. what should i do to fix this issue?

The amoled is FRAGILE! This is stressed in the video but I need to stress this again. It's better to just take it to someone than risk cracking it. I was extremely careful, heat gun, took my time and still the amoled cracked, $140 bucks down the drain. Also the camera was stuck on the body and the ribbon tore a bit, needed to be replaced. The guy at the phone store said it took him a while to learn how to take these screens off. He takes a hot plate and sets the phone on it, loosens it up followed by a heat gun. Then he uses waterproof playing cards and alcohol to detach the amoled. No way does it just pop off using picks unless it's been removed before. My amoled was glued solid to the frame. Just my 2 cents but if I could do it over again I would attempt this type of repair without more experience.

I replaced the Charging Port Assembly but I have to press the Back and Home Buttons really hard for them to work. They light up, but I have to press them hard. How do I fix that???

Thank you for the great tutorial! I replaced the port, it's charging now. However the bottom part of the touch screen is non-responsive now. Only the very top would respond to touch. I didn't rip or break anything. Any tips on how to fix this?
