Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide shows how to replace the Nook HD+ charging port in 8 easy to understand steps. The tools needed to replace this piece of the Nook HD+ are the plastic opening tool, a T5 screwdriver, tweezers, and a soldering iron. A guide explaining how to solder and desolder connections is here to help replace the charging port.
Make sure to treat the motherboard gently throughout the entire process to minimize damages, and be mindful of where and how hard the soldering iron is placed on connections. Being too forceful with the iron may harm the motherboard to the point of it being unfixable and in need of a replacement.
