Charging port pins damaged?

Bekahoot.

We need to establish where exactly the problem is in the power supply chain?

If you follow @craiglloyd Motorola Moto E5 Play Screen Replacement guide from steps 4 as far as step 11.

• The problem is either going to be the in the USB charge connector OR with the motherboard flex to the so called “daughter board”

• The intermittent / Slow charge could be an intermittent connection (increased contact resistance) on the motherboard flex. Sometimes carefully opening and closing the connection may have a positive result.

• The daughter board can be removed from step 11 to step 12 where it can be inspected visually.

• Bear in mind the USB port is an electro/mechanical component subject to repeated use, stresses and strains and can and will wear out eventually.
• If its questionable it seems like a servicable part I’d replace it

I am as we speak messing with my lovely port ,this ain't my first rodeo guys and gals,its my second. Thankfully it don't seem as bad as the first time I can say though it is not hard to fix. My sons gf changed mine out with another one in like 5 minutes I was amazed(thought that might give someone some hope out there). Seems this time its just the lil tiny pins, if I knew how the pesky lil sh*ts looked normal I might be able to do a quick fix hope I helped keep hope alive
