LG G2 Charging Port Replacement
The LG G2, excluding F320 Korean variants, features a replaceable charging port. To access this port, you'll need to remove the Sub board/Daughterboard. This guide is also essential for simpler repairs like battery and screen replacements, as these components are located underneath the Sub board.
Step 1 | Removing the rear cover
Be cautious when prying the back cover — risk of damage or injury.
- Remove the SIM Card tray.
- Pry the back cover with your nails, then use a guitar pick to assist removal.
Step 2 | Remove the screws
Choose either the top speaker or bottom speaker to remove.
- Ensure the screws have been removed from the chosen speaker part.
Step 3 | Disconnect the connections
Disconnect the battery first to prevent short circuits and accidents.
- Remove the top digitizer connector.
- Disconnect the sub board/Daugtherboard connections.
- Disconnect the screen connection.
- Remove the bottom digitizer connector.
- Disconnect all antennas.
When removing Daughterboard connectors, use tweezers to remove the EMI Shield along with the connectors. However, be cautious when using this method.
Step 4 | Freeing up the daughterboard
Make sure the EMI shield is removed, exposing the eMMC chip.
- Use tweezers to carefully remove the daughterboard.
Do not insert any tool too far into the headphone jack as it may be damaged.
You can use a screwdriver or tweezers for this task.
Step 5 | Congrats
Remove the daughterboard to access the charging port.
This procedure is applicable for all LG G2 variants, except Korean models.
- This guide can be used for basic repairs such as battery replacement or screen repair.
- Motherboard repairs also require this step to be completed.
Be patient and careful when removing the sub-board, as adhesives may cause difficulties.
