Which USB port did you damage?The Micro USB connector of your Charger or the Micro USB port of your phone?If its that of your charger you can easily buy a new one and its cheap too.But if its of your phone that you damaged then contact a technician or take the phone to Sony Service Centers.

i don't think its possible

IT IS possible. Services is doing this without changing motherboard.

The manual repair is possible (approx. 5-10 minutes) but need a good soldering station (this is much more expensive than a new x8).
With correct equipment any technician can repair it, the usb connector is cheap, 1-2€ in any electric shop.

[Q] A trip to the warranty store

Just had my phone sent to the LG service center last week because it bootloops everytime it is removed from usb port. Started awhile back with random restarts then suddenly phone turns off everytime someone calls and finally only usable if connected to usb.
had it repaired and the service center replaced the motherboard + battery. They told me it was a result of either flactuating or overcharging, but I havent one of those. Could it be because of my different usb cord? I use a nokia mini usb cord because the original LG cord got lost.
Now i'm afraid to use it until I buy a new usb cord.

Im using the one that came with my optimus and I have the same issues. Its rated 150W ( Speaking from memory ) but when charging it through Computer USB ( 75W ) its fine.
As your battery doesn't get to hot I can't see how it can affect your phone. I'm not a a guru on this so I might be wrong.

I have the same issues too! When I charge my OB the touch goes crazy :| and when I try to write a SMS for example, it writes letters by itself for a couple of minutes. Why it is happening this? Why is the phone acting weird? :|
I am using the stock charger that came in the box with it and the cable is the original one.

You're sooo rich, XD
Anywaays, i figured it won't happen again so i bought a new usb cord, Hytac USB 2.0 to be exact... i'm not sure if it really works, but so far so good. It says in the box that it supports data transfer AND charge soooo. it's okay then?
The head office of LG also told the service center said that it could have been the result of charging while the phone has a case on (i usually had a rubberized case on it)

May be a contaminated usb port. Check for dust particles and clean it gently. If that does not work may be port is fault. Get it checked if you have warranty

Check if the screen can be off when your phone is connected to the usb cable. If this is the case then just get a tight usb connector and connect to your phone and disconnect it a couple of times to clean out the port.

Good to know is solved

Not changing

My Xperia Z doesn't charge as soon as I connect the charging cable?? I have to move the cable for a while before I get the suitable position for the charging! At first I thought the problem was at the cable but it wasn't due to the fact that it charges my brothers Galaxy S3 normally.! Does anybody else having this problem? My Xperia Z is not rooted.. Anybody know something?

You destroy your micro USB in phone.
sounds like an issue with the actual usb port on the phone might be damaged
Richy99, why you repeat what I said? You don't must repeat and refresh solved threads
Firstly Thank you for your answer. But I don't understand How can I destroy my usb port without doing anything?

The pins inside micro usb bent a bit so if u have the tools and knowledge u can fix that yourself otherwise go to.service. Its 5min job. If they want to.send it for.repairs you will wait
[email protected]
@ kcannonball before you send it off for repair try a different cable from another phone as sony's cable tend to have a bit of play in them, and if the other cable doesn't work then you will definitely know its the usb port at fault, i had problems on my old xperia x10 with the usb port/cable and using a different cable sorted it out.
Edit...after reading your post again it definitely sounds like the cable to me as I had the exact same problems on my old x10 the usb port has got a slight bit of play in it and a different cable will sort it out even though your cable will work on a different phone if you check with your friends phone you'll notice the usb cable is a tight fit and doesn't wobble about as they use a slightly smaller usb port that what sony use on there phone's.

I dont have enough knowledge so I am thinking of asking the sony center about it. However, today it started charging as soon as I connected it with the same cable. I couldnt understand whats going on??
I will check with another cable soon let me see if it works..
I have another question also: there is a white point near the usb port, what is that??
The little white strip is for sony to tell if water has got in as once it gets any water on it it will turn a pinkish red colour

Mine is pinkish red colour but I haven't used my phone in water at all. Does that turns to pinkish in every kind of water?

[HELP]USB port/Charging port is not functioning?

Anybody out there knows how to solve my problem, my phone's usb port or charging port is not funtioning, I try to charge with my moto charger but no response, but when I try my charger to charge other devices, there's no problem, it do charging, what should I do? Does my usb port/charging port is brick/damage??

Have you tried other cables with your phone? For a while I had charging issues with my original cable... I had to position the cable at almost an angle to get the contacts to connect. Then I decided I was tired of having a phone that didn't always charge at night so I got a new Staples brand cable and had no issues since. So point is try a different cable to see if the problem is your phone's hardware or the cable's.

Thank you for the suggestion but I already try other usb cable, but still no response. Maybe I'll go to a technician to see if what happens to it.

Chances are the soldered contacts broke. Hope it didn't pull up any of the PCB board then theres no fix short of replacing the board. Good luck. FYI if your not a repair tech I wouldn't attempt the fix myself.

Serious Micro USB problem

Hi everybody,
The Micro USB of my Galaxy Note is broken, I can therefore no more use it to charge the battery and no more connect it to the computer. Thankfully I can charge the battery using an external charger. The problem is that I have no operating system loaded in the device and I can no more boot to the custom recovery (CWM). The device is rooted, I can only start the bootloader of the device.
So, my question is: Is there a way to flash a custom recovery or anyway to flash a ROM from bootloader without connecting to the PC? Is there a way to use SDCARD to repair the device? Anyway to resolve the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Your only choice is to replace the usb port. Without recovery you can't install custom roms from the micro sd and without pc connection, you can't install stock roms or connect via adb.

Thank you for your answer. Do you think I can link the 4 cables that are inside the USB cable to the Micro USB port pins of the device ? I mean to do it temporarily to connect the device to the PC. May it work that way?

I guess theoretically it's possible, but I'd get advice from someone who's done a change of use port.

This the is usb port. It has few thin pins coming out of the port. If you are a good solderer then you may try but not sure which pins are what.

Here is a cut and paste of my post from another thread. it will be useful to you.
take a look at your original usb port and put it next to the imitation cheap board from ebay. you will see that it looks exactly the same at first glance but at close inspection you will notice different labeling. I have bought 6 boards from ebay from different sources and all were bad. some with no sound, one wont charge, one will turn off the phone when I connect the charger.
Now I have established what a real usb port looks like with the conductive tape covering the back antenna. I have ordered 2 parts from 2 sources who have confirmed all the original marking and labels on their parts. they claim its original and OEM. so give me time so I can receive the item, install and test it. then I will give my review.
meanwhile you can look at these 2 different sellers. I think they have original parts.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271148163771...84.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261224231849...84.m1497.l2649
parts4repair.com has working ones for sure. Lot of ebay sold are found faulty, if you search the threads.
Also make sure you get the proper revision
yeah... make sure no get a low quality Charger port flex cable. THe low quality one really troublesome i just waste and replacet 2 useless port in half year due to purchase low quality one....
NOw hoping the third one dont fail me in short time.
