Nokia 2780 Flip Charging Port Replacement

Introduction

Follow this guide to replace the charging port of your Nokia 2780 Flip.

The charging port is part of the Nokia 2780 Flip where the charging cable connects to provide power to the battery. Over time, dust, debris, or physical damage can cause the port to stop working properly. If the phone charges slowly or does not charge at all, the charging port may need to be replaced.

If the charging port is completely broken, you can use a universal Lithium-ion external battery charger to charge the battery directly.

Caution: This is a more advanced repair because the charging port is soldered to the motherboard. You may replace only the charging port by desoldering it from the board, but if you are not comfortable with soldering, replacing the entire board may be a better option.

If you plan to replace only the jack, review the How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide for information on safely using a soldering iron.

Before you begin the repair, power off the phone and disconnect the charger.

    • Place a spudger or an opening tool under the edge of the press connector and pry straight up to disconnect it.

    • Make sure to pry under the edge of the connector itself, and not under the socket on the board. Otherwise, you risk permanently damaging the socket.

    • To reconnect, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first on one of the short sides, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.

    • Use a soldering iron to desolder the solder joints on the back of the charging port.

    • Be very careful when using a soldering iron. It is extremely hot and can easily burn and even melt the board if handled improperly.

    • Although the photos show desoldering from the top of the board, the solder joints are more easily accessed from the back side of the board.
