Introduction

This process should be done very carefully because the charging port is attached to other parts of the device. So, before removing the DC port there will be several wires that will need to be disconnected. If these steps are followed carefully and correctly the DC charging port should be replaced easily with no complications.

I thought it was going to be a little bit more difficult than it was . I got it done in about 15-20 minutes. Thanks to this.

Do you guys sell these replacement DC Ports or know where to find them? (I work for a school, but the students keep breaking things! I need, like, 25 of these… yep, it’s that bad. Even found a literal nest of cockroaches inside one of them. I still have the picture/video of it for the morbidly curious lol.)
