I recently changed the USB port of my Fairphone 4 and it was just unscrewing and screwing.

why are you changing a USB port on a phone?



At some point, only charging worked (and for one usb-c cable only on one side, which is weird given connecter is symmetrical), data and usb-audio stopped working. With my previous Samsung phone contact became very unreliable after 3 years. A new connector costs only a few euros, but I cannot do the soldering by myself and it cost me around 40€.
