qtasun1 elypsis 8 tablet charging port is sloppy and won't maintain a

Hi Larry,

As it turns out, you're in luck with regard to replacing the charging port on your tablet. In this case, there's a small daughter card that can be replaced easily in order to swap out the charging port for a new one. On many other tablets the port is mounted directly on the motherboard, meaning you either have to replace the entire motherboard or else have the soldering skills to dismount the broken port and solder in a new one.

If you have the skills and equipment to do the soldering, you can buy the port just by itself right off of Amazon. As far as USB port replacements go, this one is pretty standard for a micro USB port.

By far the easier route is to buy the entire daughter card and just swap that out. I know nothing about this vendor, but this is the part you're looking for. I did note that it's also available on eBay, but I don't like posting eBay listings as they are not usually around long term, so you can search for it yourself if you're interested.

In either case, there is a teardown available here on iFixit that shows you how to get to and remove that daughter card, which you'll need to do either way you go with the repair.

Step 5 is the part you're interested in. You may be able to skip Step 4, as I don't think the battery actually needs to be removed to get to the daughter card, but you'll have to use your own best judgement on that. It is, however, always advisable to unplug the battery whenever you're working inside the case.

That should give you everything you need to know to get your charging port fixed; if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Best of luck with your repair and be sure to come on back and let us know how it all turns out!
