How well would this work for repairing the charging port on a smart phone? Will this take the place of the preheat station I was advised to also buy?

Not sure, I use this for larger soldering projects. I have loaned my station out for people to use for the type of work you want to use it for, they have been more than happy with its performance. I have replaces 3 Micro controllers with the station with no problem.

I used it for replacing an hdmi port on an Xbox. With the charging/dock port Idk. It would just really depend on how close together the solder points are and how close they are to other components. Plus, I would be worried about the heat component. Having to head the paste to get it to adhere might try other components. Of you do use it I would recommend kapton tape on everything around the area where you are working to help dissipate the heat.

I should mention. Ihad to re solder the electrical on the phone end. It wasn't a big deal since I was familiar with soldering. I wouldn't let that stop you though. This is a fast, great charger. If you have an issue, any phone repair shop should fix it permanently for probably relatively cheap.

When you open the charger port cover in your phone there are two parts to the port. The right side of the port is a standard micro USB port. It fits there. If I could upload a picture I would show you.

If ur charging port is malfunctioning, u absolutely have to correct that issue b4 this item will b of service to you. I had the same issue, & found this tem comes with a case for ur phone that locks into ur charging port. I'd save ur $ until it's fixed

It won't damage it. But the charger won't last very long. Mine didn't last more than 3 months and I barely used it.

I have had no problem. If the installation is proper, it should align properly and cover the charging port.

yes port hole for turning on/off & charging ports did not line up.modify the cover I had to buy a different cover and it 100% better this was a loss of money

you might have to do what my son did which was cut the cover over the charger port (that's where those plug in correct?). You may not even have to do that, the rubber is more flexible in my opinion as compared to the the orginial defender series. Hope that helps.

The case plugs into the power port on the phone, so if that it's messed up I doubt it will work.

I have never had the phone overheat. I have had it on for quite some time. That only issue I have is the charging port and how some chargers do not fit in there properly. In that case, you may have to remove the case.

Yes. This is simply a replacement for the current charge port you have. There are videos online for this repair as well. Good luck!!!!

You will need to provide a 110 volt USB charger like the one used to charge smart phones.

Not sure about docks. But keep in mind, the port hole for this case has a small mouth opening and the material is thick. It could potentially impede the power connector from being fully seated in the charging port.

It will work, but dont recommend it ...charger gets really hot and takes a while to charge

Yes it will. You need to attach a USB charging cord. It is a good product but it gets really hot when devices are charging.

Your port is on the bottom and middle, it'll do great.. There is right and left movement of the charge connection so even if the port is off center it would still rest nicely on the rubber rest. The older phone models that have charge ports on the upper area are the ones that wont have propper support.
