• Avoid inserting foreign objects into the port.
• Do not expose the port to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Always insert and remove charging cables gently and straight, avoiding excessive force or wiggling.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues after installation, consider the following:

• Device Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charging cable and power adapter are functional and compatible.
  • Verify that the flex cable is securely connected to the motherboard and the port is properly seated.
  • Check for any visible damage to the flex cable or port.
• Slow Charging:
  • Use an original or high-quality charging cable and power adapter.
  • Ensure the power adapter provides sufficient output (voltage and amperage) for fast charging.
• No Data Transfer:
  • Check the USB cable for damage and ensure it supports data transfer.
  • Verify computer drivers are up to date.
  • Ensure the flex cable is correctly installed and connected.
• Port Feels Loose or Damaged:
