Will us cellular fix my broken charging port?

[Anonymous]

I got a galaxy s21 fe 5g about a year, and a half ago. A few months ago, my phone stopped working with wired chargers. I've cleaned out the port with toothpick, and it still won't charge. I have to use. Wireless charger, and it's super slow. I was gonna take it to us cellular tommarow, and tell them what's going on. Do you think they could fix it?

It's possible that U. S. Cellular could fix your charging port, but there's no guarantee. Here are a few things to consider:

- Since it's been over a year since you got the phone, it's out of warranty. U. S. Cellular isn't obligated to fix it for free. They'll likely charge you for the repair.

- Charging port replacements can be tricky depending on the phone model. Some are easier than others. Samsung phones are usually pretty involved to take apart.

- U. S. Cellular repair shops may not do the work themselves. They may send it out to a service center, which could take longer.

- Parts availability could be an issue too if the phone is no longer a popular model.

I'd call ahead to U. S. Cellular and get a price quote for the charging port replacement before taking it in. Make sure you backup your data first in case anything goes wrong. They may also try to sell you a new phone instead of fixing it. As long as you're prepared to pay if needed, they should at least take a look at it. Fingers crossed they can get it working again! Let me know how it goes.

Probably depends on whats broken.

Replacing the whole charging port unit, will probably cost you more than a new phone.

But maybe its just dirt blocking the electrical currents and they can clean it properly.

Or maybe the phone is fine, but its the cables thats broken. Have you tried a different cable?

Yeah I forgot to mention that I've tried several different chargers.

If they won't fix it get a wireless fast charger and it's just as fast as a fast charger cord. Don't use Anker, they don't honor their warranty.
