Pixel 5a 5G Charging Port Repair Vienna
If the Pixel 5a 5G does not start charging despite a plugged-in cable, or the USB-C connector feels loose, the charging port is the problem. For 59€ we replace the faulty USB-C board – wired charging and data transfer work reliably again afterwards, with a 6-month warranty included.
Symptoms of a faulty charging port on the Pixel 5a 5G
Charging port problems often develop gradually until charging eventually fails completely:
- The device only charges when the cable is plugged in at a certain angle
- Charging does not start or keeps stopping
- The USB-C plug sits noticeably loose or can easily fall out
- File transfer over USB no longer works
- The port is damaged by dirt that got in or by mechanical damage

Frequently asked questions about the Pixel 5a 5G charging port repair
What does the Pixel 5a 5G charging port repair cost?
The charging port repair costs 59€ – a fixed price including fitting and charge test. With a repair order the 25 € diagnostic fee is waived.
How long does the charging port replacement take on the Pixel 5a 5G?
Usually 45 to 60 minutes. Since the USB-C board is deeply installed, we need a little more time than for surface repairs.
How do I tell whether the charging port or the cable is faulty?
Test the device with various USB-C cables and power adapters. If none of them charge reliably, the problem is most likely the port itself.
Is data lost during the charging port replacement?
No. Swapping the USB-C board deletes no user data. A Google One backup beforehand is still recommended.
Is the repair on the Pixel 5a 5G worth it?
The Pixel 5a 5G had a launch price of 449 €. For 59€ the charging function is fully restored – without data loss and without setting it up again.
Does 18 W fast charging work again after the repair?
Yes. We replace the USB-C board completely, so that 18 W fast charging and USB-C data transfer work normally again after the repair.

Dropping by in person is not possible. In Vienna we pick the device up. From all of Austria it can be sent in by post.
Can I send the device in if I do not live in Vienna?
Yes. We accept shipments from all of Austria and send the device back insured.
Is there a walk-in option without an appointment?
No – all repairs run exclusively via the pickup service or send-in service. Call us to coordinate everything.
How long does the warranty on the repair last?
6 months from the repair date on the fitted charging port. Charging faults that go back to the repair are fixed free of charge within this period.
Is an original USB-C module fitted?
We use USB-C boards matched to the Pixel 5a 5G. Original Google parts are barely available in the aftermarket – we explain transparently in advance what is fitted.
What does the diagnostic cost if I decide not to repair?
The diagnostic check costs 25 EUR, waived on repair. If you decide on the repair, this amount is waived in full.
Can moisture damage the charging port on the Pixel 5a 5G?
The Pixel 5a 5G is IPX8 certified, but persistent moisture can cause corrosion on the charging port. If water damage is suspected, we check whether a pure port swap is enough.
Can I charge the device wirelessly during the waiting time?
The Pixel 5a 5G does not support wireless Qi charging – unlike the Pixel 5. So you depend on wired charging until the port is repaired.
