Thanks for this. Helped me fix my kid's tablet. After buying the part and tearing down the unit, I called a local repair place and asked what they'd charge just to do the soldering work: $60. For a little more than that, I bought my own rework station and did it myself and learned a new skill (except I already knew basic soldering).

Excellent video and nice work. Thanks for the link to the USB sockets too.

Had me a little dance party there in the middle of the video

Dude I had so much progress in my tablet and out of nowhere it didn’t want to charge and I was happy that I found a charging port and this video because I would have been so mad if I had to reset all of that progress.

Awesome video. If possible, quick request…can you add the temps settings of the solder iron, precision soldering iron, and heat gun/pen for the part removal…maybe in the description?

Time to get one of those digital microscope thingies from Amazon. Great video.

Awesome video! I envision the most unnecessary upgrade project for this one, larger speakers, usb-c and maybe solder qi receiver to usb pads? :)

Any idea if the boot hdd can be removed and replaced ?

[lexbc]

the piece with the capton tape (not sure if spelled correctly), is placed differently and is definitely not as easy as this to pull off, with any of the "ifixit" tools with the version I have. Also, the ribbon cable by the battery, when disconnecting, the lever that pulls up was stuck in place. Any tips on these issues for different models?

[JosephQPublic]

I wonder if you can change it out for usbc instead.

Thanks for the great video! What temperature is best for the air soldering tool?

[delilahgee]

How hot does the heat need to be from heat gun and solder?

Awesome video. Thank you very much for taking the time to put this together and share it with the interested audience. Very helpful. Thank you once again. God bless you and your family

Where's you get the plastic things you use to take connectors off please?

[cindylewis]

Will this work for the kids 8? Thank you

Hi, I don’t see link for replacement part anywhere. Do you mind pasting it again for me?

[jpnfan.seris]

your soldering work is fine and perfect! I want to do it myself but I am not so confident that I can do it myself. I will broke it myself. The most amateur have not enough tools and techniques to solder/unsolder it finely.
Is there another way to charge the battery without replacing USB jack?
Thanks! from interested amateur. Shigeru

Very informative!
The linked part looks different from your video.
