Android Repair
An Android user from Hooksett, NH visited Cellular Freedom Repairs after their phone began experiencing multiple issues: intermittent charging, random power failures, and excessive heat around the charging port area. With the device being essential for work and communication, they needed a fast, affordable solution that didn’t require replacing the phone.
Initial Symptoms
Phone would only charge at certain angles
Device shutting off randomly throughout the day
Overheating near the charging port
Battery percentage jumping or freezing
Slow data transfer and unreliable connection to a computer
These symptoms typically point to charging port damage, board-level failures, or early-stage corrosion inside the device.
Diagnosis & Findings
At Cellular Freedom Repairs, our technicians performed a full diagnostic using professional board-level testing equipment. We discovered:
A physically worn and loose USB-C charging port
Corrosion beginning to form on the charging IC pads
Intermittent power delivery to the battery
A weakened data line affecting charge speed and stability
Because the issue extended past the port itself, micro soldering was required to restore full functionality.
Repair Process
Full device disassembly
Motherboard inspection under the microscope
Corrosion removal and board cleaning
Rebuild of weakened charging circuit connections
Installation of a new OEM-quality USB-C port
Ultrasonic board cleaning and drying cycle

All repairs were completed same day, allowing the customer to avoid downtime.
Results
The Android phone powered on reliably, charged at full speed, and no longer overheated. Data transfer and battery accuracy returned to normal. The customer received our lifetime warranty for added peace of mind — something big-box stores and franchise repair shops don’t offer.
