Introduction

In this short guide I will walk through the process of replacing the charge port on a Motorola G32 ( Model number: XT2235-2 )

Motorola charge port part number: 5P68C21161

this specific repair was a liquid damaged device from a customer.

Start by heating the device for about 5-10 minutes at approximately 50-70 degrees celsius
Use a suction cup on the rear panel of the device to create an initial gap to slide a guitar pick in and separate the rear panel from the device
Remove the sim tray from the device

Remove all visable screws on the mid frame of the device and store safely using a PH000 screwdriver

Wedge a pick between the coloured frame and the black plastic screen edge and slide it down each edge of the device to unclip the midframe
Once the entire midframe has been removed open to the left side carefully as there is a cable plugged into the main board that is short and easy to damage.

Disconnect the battery connector to isolate power to the device to prevent damage during repair
Disconnect the ribbon cable for the fingerprint scanner from the motherboard, at this point you can place the midframe aside.
Disconnect the antenna connection and the charge port connection

Remove the loudspeaker and then chargeport board and swap with the new component. Ensuring the water and dust resistant gaskets over the aux port and Type C port are transferred to the new port

Repeat all previous steps in reverse ensuring the battery is plugged in last to prevent damage
Re seal the back panel onto the device with a new adhesive gasket, In my case i have cut TESA as close to the original template as possible which for this device will be more than sufficient
