How do I replace the charging port despite no prior experience?

Hi Barry,

The good news is if you're willing to do the work yourself, the port can be replaced for less than half of what the repair shop quoted. From what I've seen, the port it self can be had for around $5-10 USD, so if you invest another $10 or so in an adhesive sheet for the rear case and a couple of tools, you can save quite a bit over what the repair shop quoted.

Also fortunate is the fact that the repair on your phone is really pretty easy, especially compared to other phones. I wasn't able to find any step by step iFixit-style guides, but I did locate a YouTube video that looks like it is complete and accurate.

Here's one of the first examples of one that came up on an internet search. There are plenty more available; I usually start with Amazon, eBay and AliExpress myself.
