Repair/Replace USB Charging Port

Repair/Replace USB Charging Port

I (and many others) would like to have a repair guide for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active G870A for AT&T. There are no teardowns that I can find anywhere. I need to replace the USB Charging Port for this device and I don't believe the process is the same for the other model Galaxy S5 G900A. Your help and consideration would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hey Robert, you can try to search some Galaxy S4 Active teardowns for reference. The internal design won't change much since it's the succeeder to Galaxy S4 Active. Good luck!

robert, did this help you? I am having the problem with my s5 active but can't find any s5 active exclusive instructions on how to replace this item. I purchased the part from EBAY, but NO WHERE do I find any instructions on how to replace this particular part. S4 active is different than S5 I would think so I am worried about following that route.

I just finished a complete tear down on an S5 active and you have to go through !&&* to get to the charging. In the process of repairing a phone that I come to find out was refurbished already the digitizer just crumbled to pieces since heat had been applied to it once already. However as soon as you get to the part in the teardown her on this site where the main board comes out. You have to separate the edge piece that goes all around the main assembly that the main board was attacked to. The one I was working on the edge of the main assembly was green and the trim around it was black. You also separate these two to replace the cover for the charging dock. Once you separate those two pieces you will see two more screw that have to come out. After you remove the screws you have to lift up on a cover that is sealed around the edges with two sided tape. If you don't destroy the two sided tape you can reuse it. If not you will need to find some or cut some to match. After you lift that cover there is another cover that is held by nothing. lift this up to expose the charging dock which also has your buttons for home, back, etc. on the other side. It is a little hard to get the charging dock out but really easy to put the new in. To put it back together just follow the steps in reverse.

The USB closure door on my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone broke off. How do I repair it?
