    I just changed the USB port of my Motorola because it was broken AF. I always had to tweak around for 5 minutes to get the cable stable enough for loading, it sucked. I bought the spare part for 17,90€ on eBay. It was a struggle removing the back cover, but now I have a mobile for another 2 years!

      I had to change the USB port from my Oneplus 7, after 4 years of use. I changed the USB port, the battery and the back cover (seriously using glass for that…). Oneplus didn’t sell spare parts for it anymore, I had to buy them from aliexpress.

      One year later, the USB port died again, the back cover too, without dropping the phone…

      I bought a fairphone after that. No more struggle to find spare parts, or with the back cover, I hope I’m fine for a looong time.
