iPhone 15 Pro Charge Port Replacement
This is the hardest repair on the iPhone 15 Pro. Before you start, clean lint out of the port with a wooden toothpick and try another cable and charger; most charging problems aren’t the port.

The USB-C port is a separate part along the bottom of the frame. Disconnect its cable from the logic board and remove the screws and brackets holding the port and its cable. Keep each screw in order; they are different lengths.
Remove the port
Peel the port cable off the frame where it’s stuck down and lift the port assembly out.
Fit the new port
Plug a USB-C cable into the port from the outside (not connected to power) to line the new port up with the opening, press its cable onto the frame and reinstall the screws, keeping the driver low near the opening.
Rebuild and test
Fit a new battery, refit the Taptic Engine and speaker, reconnect the display and battery and close with fresh adhesive. Test charging, data, the bottom speaker, microphones and vibration.
Not charging? Let us look first.
Most iPhone 15 Pro charging problems are lint or a bad cable. We’ll test it free at our Tustin store and replace the port the same day if needed.
