USB connector broken. Help please!? :)

USB connector broken. Help please!? :slight_smile:

Hi everyone,

my USB connector on the S4 has broken. The inner plastic casing that housed the metal pins has broken off. I’ll take a photograph and post it also, in a minute.

Has this happened to anyone? And is it easy enough to fix?

cheers,

John

yeah, this is the little bit of plastic that broke off from inside the USB wire hole on the S4…

This happens a lot with the s4 and s2. Sadly it can’t be fixed it must be replaced. i pray that you still have warranty on it

Yep the whole connector will need to be replaced. It is a simple job for anyone handy with electronics. The part is a standard 4 pin USB type B PCB component. The part costs about $2 and the labour should only be $50-$80. Find your local electrical repairer and give them a call.

Or check out post 6 in this thread S4 connector trouble!!!!

A piece of cardboard could just become your best friend!! :wink:

That would be a good temp fix but not going to last long

Please use search… This has been covered a few times. Ninja solution can be found here:
