HTC6800 Charging Port Repair - Need options

Silverado347 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-27-2009, 03:30 PM

Hello all, been here a while - learned alot and have even unlocked and flashed a couple of roms on my Alltel HTC6800. But as alot of you know about the problems with the mini usb charging port, mine has broken.

I would attempt repair myself, but I'm not set up to do micro soldering. And as it seems, neither are any repair shops around my area / state. I am looking for some website info for companies that can do this repair for me. I have found PPCTechs.com but I am looking for a second / third option.

Sounds like it's time for an insurance claim.

Insurance is great...if you have it. I purchased my phone used from ebay. If (by chance) your phone is older and / or you don't have insurance, I gotta think that the cost to ship the phone (insured with sig required, etc) and to have it worked on may justify the purchase of new (but used) unit from ebay. They are going for about $100 to $150.
