Hi! I wanted to share how to fix a charging port that is not working properly.
Its not guarateed to work in all cases but it did work for me.
The phone didn't charge at all when plugged into the charger and nor did it connect to the computer, so what I did was to dissaseble it and put aceton on the sodering points from the charging port, i rubbed them with a piece of paper soaked in aceton, put the phone together again and then it worked again!!
Or you could just order a new charging port/bord for around 5$ on ebay, but sometimes you don't have to!!

Hello there,
I was charging my Qtek normally with it's original charger. My sister umplugged it a couple of times to charge up her notebook.
My Qtek won't charge anymore. It's working fine. It turns on, I can use it normally. But It won't charge.
My guess is that something happend to the mini usb plug or circuit, because it won't charge with it's charger, neither with USB cable plugged in the computer. And it can't communicate with the computer trought the cable too. Bluettoh works fine with Actve sync.
Someone have any clue about what happened?
Same thing happens to me today...
I'll show in the Qtek...
But I think that "usb plug" is "unplugged" from motherboard...
Visualy no problem with my usb plug... Welds are well...
So, the problem is IN the USB PLUG ????
I have found some on Ebay :
____://cgi.ebay.fr/5X-USB-Charge-Port-Plug-HTC-Pilot-Universal-Wizard-/400125580417?cmd=ViewItem&hash=item5d2957d481#ht_2473wt_1137
Is there some doc about ?
Thanks,
I Haven't opened it yet. I'm travelling, and I don't have the proper tools. But tomorrow I'll be back home and I can say if something physical happened.
So rocksull ? USB Plug is dead ?
I bought the connector and and external charger too (5$) with a battery (6$) on EBAY...
But usb plug is sent from USA, so I'll receive it in two weeks...
Bye,
Well.
I opened up my Qtek. The welds were messed up (Cold Solder). I'm just waiting a friend that has a soldering station to see if we can re-solder the plug. I'll post results soon.
Hello Rocksull,
So, It's good for you ?
I tried soldering USB plug, but welds are too small...
So actually I'm using an external battery charger... ((((((
Bye,
I was able to solder the plug back, because I work with that.
It charged again, but the battery didn't last 1 minute. I opened again and saw that the circuit is also messed up. There's one or two transistors burnt, a little capacitor.
Anyway... I gave up. I was about to buy a new cell phone anyway, and I can use the other componentes (LCD screen, camera, etc) to build some projects. =D.
I was able to solder woth a hot air soldering station (I don't know of that's the name) and some liquid weld. We have this stuff because we work with SMD components.
hey guys, need some help here
so my phone is not charging, i tried the USB to PC, does not work neither does the wall charger, I do not get a orange led notification either. The phone would boot up for a second then turn off.

lucky for you, its the ebay battery for me its my oem battery. going to try to swap out another oem battery/charger and see if its my battery.
had the same issue, i noticed on mine that the battery pins on the phone tend to bend easily to prevent a good connection from the battery. phone would power on but wouldn't charge either.
is it the pins? i need some pictures or a video tutorial on this fix lol i have no idea what everyone is talking about, the pins look fine to me. im pretty sure that its my cable now since it didnt charge a blackberry phone either...
Damn how can this phone be so hi tech but made with th most CHEAPEST materials!
i bought a new micro usb cable, and its charging now...

I bought one off of amazon and it would totally freak my phone out....no joke...it was just a wall charger no usb...now I only use the usb like the one that came with the phone and that is i.t
When you get a new phone, you should always condition the battery by letting it run completely down a few times in the beginning. When I was doing this with my phone when I first got it, after a complete drain it wouldn't charge. All i had to do was pull the battery and put it back in. Then it started charging fine. Not sure if this helps...
Also I wouldn't say these phone use cheap materials because people are not careful and bend the pins. I've removed my battery several times and the pins are perfect... If the pins aren't flexible, you wouldn't be able to get the battery in. In order to be flexible, they have to be soft. Pay attention when you are removing and replacing your battery.
You ended up figuring it out but I figured it would be good to point out that sometimes the connections on the battery/phone get dirty or pretty much any battery where it connects to the electronic.
What I usually do first when I have problems with any of my electronics turning on/charging is I take a cotton swab and dip it in rubbing alcohol. Shake it off cuz there will be alot of alcohol on there just so its not dripping and rub the connections then flip the cotton swap around then rub them again with the dry side. This doesnt work all the time but works enough for me to mention it. Static electricity will attract dirt and grime. Used to happen semi often on my touch pro since I used to have it in my pocket when I worked on a golf course.
Anyways just my 2 cents.
Hi,
My XOOM has fallen to the floor (with charger inserted) and now it won't charge anymore.
So I wonder if is possible to charge it by 2 pins which are located next to regular charge port? (I think to connect wires from charger directly to them)
If it is possible, does anyone maybe know which of these port are + and which are - (the same question apply and on charger jack too)
thank you very much!
hey, I have the same problem, my dog pulled the lead and the socket came loose...won't charge, so I dug out a transformer and created a two pin plug...works fine...I'm only using it till I can get my hands on a dock though....the left pin is + 12v DC though I wouldn't recommend leaving it alone for too long, I have left mine over night with no problems.
as for the charger itself, normally the center is +
hope this is of help.
The charge port of my son's 6P stop charging. Since it was so "wiggly" that the USB-C charge cord would barely stay connected (suggesting to me that my son had been too rough in plugging-in and unplugging his charge cord until he broke the charge port), I decided to replace the daughterboard which has the charge port on it.
I ordered a new daughterboard, opened the phone and replaced the existing daughterboard with a brand new one. Now the charge cord fits snuggly. But it still doesn't charge.
The wide ribbon cable which runs down from the top of the battery area to the daughterboard is reconnected. The antenna lead is reconnected. All connections are snug. Still no charge.
Q. - What are the most likely failures that would explain this?
I wouldn't expect multiple components (like charge port and battery) to fail simultaneously. The original charge port was definitely worn out. What am I missing?
Hi All,
I'm using Oneplus 8 pro. Suddenly while charging my phone I can clearly see that Warp charge is not working. It is taking time to charge my phone. Earlier warp charge was working fine. Can anyone help me on resolving this issue?
Regards,

turn off optimized charging.
i do that bro but same problem
Try different cables and charge blocks. Maybe one of yours is worn out.
Clean your USB Port -
Charging problems may be caused by dust blocking the connections in the charging port. Dirt, dust, and lint can get between the metal pins of the charging cable and charging port, preventing electricity from flowing. Clean your connection port with a toothpick to remove dust.
