Hello. I am currently leaving this comment via my Moto Power g7. My phone is several years old, and I have been having difficulties charging it for awhile. It finally pretty much died a recently. No amount of cleaning or jiggling the cords helped this time. It died because I was unable to charge it. Saw this video, ordered a new charging port from an ebay dealer, put on some disposable gloves and a headlamp, and went to work. It's now charging again! A new lease on life for my phone. Thank you so much for this helpful video. I appreciate it! 🤗💓👍🙌👊

Thanks so much for showing us how to disassemble it to that point! My phone stopped charging, and after being quoted $1-200 from various places, I decided to go and do it myself. Turns out my port just needed a little cleaning and it cost me absolutely nothing

Just want to say a very big thank you to your tutorial in this video. I brought the PCB , tape and didn't have a T4 torx driver so brought that, and thanks to your video I followed you step by step and installed the new PCB now my phone charges correctly. Many many thanks for taking the time to video this 👍👍 my local phone shop wanted £35 to fix, cost me £11 for PCB torx driver and tape 👍 You was right mine was an international version, the PCB was slightly different only one cable on the right the other was a wider cable and located in the centre coming from the battery but was easy enough to work out. Again a big big thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍺

pocket lint is a dangerous entity to cell phone ports

there should be additional info that the top plastic piece over the charge connector is the ariel. Any slight misalignment and the phone reception goes.. very frustrating to deal with and figure out after just having fixed the charge problem. Also the ebay replacements didnt work and in the end i had to take a blade and scrape the metal contacts on original charge port so it would make better contact with charger.

Great video on replacement of the charging port circuit board on the moto g7! The charging port on the moto g7 phones is basically flimsy junk, in my experience, & I've had to replace the charging port circuit board on my phone 4 TIMES in 2022, because the charging ports all developed a bad connection with the charging cable terminal, preventing consistent battery charging. The design of the charging port is very poor, in my opinion, & I believe the older charging port designs were much better.

CAUTION: do not slide a cutting tool in the region of the down-volume and power buttons (like I did). You will slice through the fingerprint scanner cable (like I did). EZ-Fixit is careful not to do this, but doesn't draw attention to this delicate part. You can see the fingerprint scanner connection is being detached at 6:38. I replaced the board after charging was almost impossible despite copious jiggling. My repaired phone now TurboPower charges instantly. Very happy. Thanks.

Have same iusse mine doesn't charge or charges slowly. To get it to charge I have to tilt the phone at an angle. The charging port pin is super loose. Seen the part on eBay, going to order it and fix my self. Think I have all the tools I see you using, and looks a simple repair. The whole port and PCB board is 6.50 off eBay.

Hi! I guess the most important thing is the Pry tool which at home can be a sharp knife or Poker cards, a hair drier would work to warm up the battery cover which is a soft and flexible plastic that will not break easily. This phone uses TORX Screws T4 and T6 but a set of Torx screwdrivers would be great I found one at Amazon for $10 Before you order it’s recommended to open the phone and take a picture to compare the one you are purchasing as there are the US version and the International version, so this way you order the right part, this the US version XT-1955 Extreme caution when getting the upper part of the phone in this video after Minute 5 as there is the Finger Sensor Cable, sticking the prying tool deeper than 1/4 of inch might damage the cable

Also the use of plastic tools like a spudger or a pick would prevent such damages to the frame, glass or other soft plastics of the device.
