Samsung Galaxy S20+ Charging Port Repair Vienna
The charging cable keeps slipping out of the USB-C 3.2 port on the Galaxy S20+ or only holds with pressure? After 2–3 years of daily use the pins inside the charging port wear out mechanically – cleaning won't save anything there. Reparo removes the old port on the Galaxy S20+ and fits a new USB-C 3.2 unit: €79 fixed price, 40–60 minutes of work, IP seal renewed, 6 months warranty. Pickup service across all of Vienna or send-in Austria-wide.

Typical charging port problems on the Galaxy S20+
- The charging cable keeps slipping out of the USB-C 3.2 port on the Galaxy S20+ – the pins no longer have a firm grip
- Your Galaxy S20+ doesn't recognise the charging cable – no charging symbol, no signal in the status bar
- Fast charging only works sporadically on the Galaxy S20+ – sometimes 25W, then nothing again
- Data transfer via USB cable no longer works on the Galaxy S20+ – the PC doesn't recognise the device
- Your Galaxy S20+ has visible oxidation marks in the USB-C 3.2 port – greenish or white deposits on the pins
- Your Galaxy S20+ reports 'liquid detected' although no water was on it – corrosion or a faulty sensor
- The Galaxy S20+ occasionally reports system restarts when plugging in after a short circuit in the port – the result of a faulty USB controller in the flex
The Galaxy S20+ launched in 2020 with a USB-C 3.2 charging port – 6 years later, with high usage figures, typical wear patterns appear: worn pins, oxidation on the data lines, loose solder joints on the flex. The USB-C 3.2 port carries data at up to 10 Gbit/s and charging power up to 25W – the 24 contacts are correspondingly sensitive. Reparo replaces the complete charging port unit, not just individual pins – that is significantly more durable. See also our Galaxy S20+ repair overview with all available services.
How does the Galaxy S20+ charging port swap work?
- Incoming check and pin analysis
Under the microscope we check the USB-C 3.2 port on the Galaxy S20+ for bent pins, foreign bodies, oxidation and wear marks. After water contact an additional pad check on the mainboard, so that we fix not just a symptom but the cause.
- Detach the back
On the Galaxy S20+ we release the bonded back with controlled heat (about 65 °C) and iFixit-compatible suction cups. The adhesive film on the frame is carefully peeled off so it can be replaced on reassembly.
- Disconnect the battery – safety first
Before anything happens to the charging circuit on the Galaxy S20+, the battery connector is disconnected from the mainboard. This prevents short circuits on the USB-C 3.2 controller and protects the flash storage from unexpected voltage spikes.
- Remove the old USB-C 3.2 flex in a controlled way
The charging port unit on the Galaxy S20+ is attached to the mainboard via screws and a zero-insertion-force connector (including microphone module). Release the flex, document the screw order, lift the old part out of the frame.
- Fit the new USB-C 3.2 charging port
The replacement flex (USB-C 3.2 charging port flex with micro pins) is fitted on the Galaxy S20+ in exactly the same position. Screws with defined torque, connector pressed down with controlled pressure. No bending, no pulling – incorrect load costs pin contact.
- Renew the seal and close the housing
The old IP68 adhesive film is fully removed on the Galaxy S20+, a new Samsung-compatible seal is inserted, the back bonded under defined pressure. After 20–30 minutes of curing time the sealing level is back to factory standard.
- Function test 25W charging + data pins
Final test with a calibrated power supply on the Galaxy S20+: the charging protocol starts at 25W, pin contacts are checked for wobble behaviour, data transfer via USB to a test PC. Only when everything runs stable does the device go back to you.
Reparo works without customer walk-in – your Galaxy S20+ is collected by courier in Vienna or sent in by post from the provinces.
Galaxy S20+ charging port replacement – price, process and service details in Vienna
The charging port on the Galaxy S20+ is the most mechanically stressed port of the device – every plug-in loads the USB-C 3.2 pins. After 2–3 years of daily use mechanical limits appear: pins wear out, data lines oxidise, solder joints on the flex break. Reparo replaces it in Vienna for €79 fixed price – certified replacement flex, new IP68 seal, 6 months warranty. Anyone who notices further problems on the device often benefits from a combined repair – see our separate S20+ battery replacement for details.
Certified replacement flex vs. Samsung original – what do you get?
For the Galaxy S20+ we fit charging ports that match the Samsung flex exactly: same USB-C 3.2 standard, same USB-PD certification, same form factor. Samsung service packs are only available through authorised Samsung service centres – our OEM-compatible parts last measurably as long and carry the identical pin assignment. You can find all further repair options on the Samsung repair overview.
Frequently asked questions about the Galaxy S20+ charging port swap
What does the charging port repair cost for the Galaxy S20+?
The charging port repair for the Galaxy S20+ costs €79 fixed price at Reparo in Vienna. Included: a new USB-C 3.2 charging port as a certified replacement flex, a fresh IP68 seal, calibration of the charge detection and 6 months warranty. The diagnostic check (25 EUR) is waived on a repair order.
How long does the charging port swap take on the Galaxy S20+?
40–60 minutes of work in the Reparo studio in Vienna. The pickup service in Vienna comes to you in the morning, the repair runs in the afternoon, return often the same day. With the send-in service from the provinces we reckon 2–4 working days in total including shipping.
Does the Galaxy S20+ charge again at 25W fast charging after the swap?
Yes. The 25W fast charging on the Galaxy S20+ runs through the USB-PD controller on the charging port flex – that exact part is replaced. Our replacement part has the identical USB-PD 3.0 certification as the original, so the full charging speed is available again. We test this after fitting with a measuring device.
Does Reparo fit original or replacement charging ports on the Galaxy S20+?
For the Galaxy S20+ we use certified Samsung-compatible charging ports – same USB-C 3.2 standard, same USB-PD power, same form factor. Original Samsung service pack parts are only available through authorised Samsung service centres. Our alternatives come from specialised OEM manufacturers who also supply Samsung.
Does the IP68 protection stay intact on the Galaxy S20+ after the charging port repair?
Yes. On the Galaxy S20+ we renew the IP68 seal around the mainboard as part of the repair – where the charging port is mounted. After professional fitting your device regains the original protection against splash water and dust. We generally don't recommend active diving after any housing intervention.
Is any data lost during the charging port swap on the Galaxy S20+?
No. Flash storage, Samsung account, SIM card and microSD (if present) are not disconnected during the charging port swap. Photos, WhatsApp chats, apps, Wi-Fi passwords – everything stays intact. We still recommend a Samsung Cloud backup before every repair as a standard precaution.
How does my Galaxy S20+ get to the repair – pickup or send-in?
You have two options for the Galaxy S20+: pickup service across all 23 Vienna districts (1010–1230) – the courier collects, delivers it back repaired, and is included in the €79 fixed price. Or send-in from all of Austria with insured shipping (Graz, Linz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt) – return shipping also included, processing 2–4 working days.
Can I drop my Galaxy S20+ off at Reparo?
Reparo has no walk-in counter at the studio. The only options for the Galaxy S20+ are pickup service in Vienna (we come to you) or send-in by post from the provinces. That saves you the trip and often delivers your device back the same day.
How long is the warranty on the new charging port on the Galaxy S20+?
Six months on the charging port and the fitting. If a contact problem, loose contact or fast-charge failure occurs again in that time, we replace it free of charge. Not covered: new mechanical damage from force or foreign bodies such as keys or coins in the port.
Do I lose the Samsung warranty through the charging port swap on the Galaxy S20+?
The original Samsung warranty lapses with any third-party intervention. On the Galaxy S20+ (built 2020) the manufacturer warranty has usually expired anyway. The Reparo warranty on the new charging port flex runs 6 months in parallel and is valid throughout Austria.
Can I clean the charging port on the Galaxy S20+ myself first before doing the swap?
Yes, for dust or lint, careful blowing out with compressed air or a dry wooden toothpick helps. Not recommended: needles, metal tools or damp cotton swabs – they bend pins or cause short circuits. If cleaning doesn't help or the cable still wobbles afterwards, the port is mechanically worn out – then a swap is the only solution.
My Galaxy S20+ had water contact and no longer charges – is that a pure charging port case?
Sometimes yes, sometimes not. With water contact moisture often settles first on the USB-C 3.2 pins and corrodes there. If only the charging port is affected, a swap for €79 is enough. With corrosion on the mainboard an additional ultrasonic bath is needed – we check that in the diagnosis (25 EUR, waived on repair) on the Galaxy S20+.
How do I tell whether the charging port is really faulty on the Galaxy S20+ or just the cable?
Test at least two other original cables and power supplies on the Galaxy S20+. If it charges cleanly with none of them, the fault is at the USB-C 3.2 port. Additional hint: if wobbling the cable changes the charge, it is almost certainly the port. When in doubt we check it in the diagnosis for a fee (25 EUR, waived on repair) – safer than buying the wrong cable permanently.
Is the charging port swap on the Galaxy S20+ still worth it in 2026?
The Galaxy S20+ from 2020 is currently still supplied by Samsung with security updates – check the update status on samsung.com directly. Charging port repair €79 vs. a comparable used device from around €300, plus setup, new 2FA, data migration. The repair is the economically better choice in almost all cases.
What does the diagnosis cost on the Galaxy S20+ if I want it checked first?
The diagnosis costs 25 EUR and is fully waived with a repair order. On the Galaxy S20+ we check loose contact, pin geometry, the USB controller chip and the behaviour during fast charging (25W). Afterwards you get a fixed-price quote and can decide freely. No obligation to repair.
