Why Do Samsung S3 Mini Charging Ports Fail?

Common reasons for an S3 Mini charge port failure:

• If you use the phone while it is plugged in.  Small stresses placed on the port over time, it bending to the right and left, while you are using it, eventually causing the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini Charging Port to come loose, fail.  The solder may give, removing the solid connection.
• If you use an incorrect charging cable that is slightly too wide or too tall, has to be forced in ..... is sometimes the cause.

This Part is soldered in, is not a simple cable swap!  This is not a recommended 1st time, Do-It-Yourself type repair.  You will fail!  Most self repairs render the phone useless. You must leave this repair to a professional.   Even if you do not order from me, order from a professional shop.  Even if you think you have "some" soldering experience, this is a beast of a replacement process, requiring specific 1st hand knowledge as to how this is soldered in and how it should be removed.
