So i replaced the charging port in my iPhone XS today. This was my first attempt at fixing a phone so i was nervous but i actually pulled it off. However, after the install my phone would keep restarting every 3 minutes. I went through the phone 3 times looking for something that i didn’t hook up quite right or left out only to find nothing. So i put the original charging port back in and boom no restart phone works like normal.. after doing a little research i found out I’m not the only one this has happened to. I’m guessing Apple has some sort of lock on all they’re parts so that you have to send the phone to them for an expensive repair? Is there any way around this or am i just out a bunch of time and money?
You need to use an OEM charge port assembly on the X series and newer as they’re very picky when it comes to aftermarket ones. Where did you purchase the replacement from and why did you have to replace it?
@hootonberg is 100% right. This is not a part you want to cheap out on. I’ve learned my lesson on AM charging ports on the X series. I repaired an XS Max port 2 days ago, and I burned through 3 AM ports before realizing the phone just won’t stop rebooting with them! Thankfully, that was all it was - it was not damage to a flex ribbon, or the MB. Just get an OEM pulled part, or one that has been pre-tested. I had to get some premium ports overnight expressed to me from MobileSentrix and these seem fine!
How can they sell these garbage parts?
