Wiko View2 Charging Port Repair Vienna
Do you now have to hold the charging cable at a certain angle on the View2, or press it in with your finger, before any power flows at all? Does the charge indicator jump back off after every tiny wobble, or stay off completely? On this 2018 Wiko model the micro-USB port is almost always worn out, because the slim connector can only take being plugged in and out thousands of times for so long. Reparo replaces the charging port of your View2 in Vienna for a fixed price of 49 EUR – we collect it in the city or you send it in from all of Austria, with a 6-month warranty.

These symptoms reveal a faulty charging port on the View2
The micro-USB port of the Wiko View2 dates back to 2018 and has gone through plenty of plug cycles over its lifetime. The delicate contacts and the slim socket wear down in the process. You notice it when the cable sits loose in the port and interrupts charging at the slightest touch, when only one single cable still grips at all, or when the View2 shows no reaction even with the adapter plugged in. A plug that jams when you pull it out, or that comes loose only with resistance, also points to a worn socket.
Clean or swap – we find the real cause
Before we reach for the soldering iron, we check whether a swap is needed at all. On the View2, pocket lint and dust like to settle deep in the micro-USB channel and hold the plug away from the contacts. In a case like that a proper cleaning is enough and the port grips again. If there is mechanical wear instead, we replace the socket for 49 EUR. We tell you in advance what is really required – you are only charged for the work actually done.
How we renew the charging port on the View2
- Charging test with several micro-USB cables and adapters to rule out a pure accessory fault.
- Opening the View2 and visually inspecting the socket and the solder joints on the main board.
- Desoldering the worn socket and fitting a precise-fit micro-USB replacement port.
- Final charging and data transfer test until the connection sits stably for good.
If the View2 also has a cracked or flickering screen after a fall, the Wiko View2 screen replacement will help. Every other fault is listed on the Wiko View2 overview page.
Repair the charging port instead of replacing the View2
A faulty charging port makes the whole View2 unusable, even though the display, camera and battery still run perfectly. For 49 EUR the device is ready to use again – far cheaper than a new budget smartphone plus setting everything up afresh. Especially because Wiko is rare in Austria and you will barely find a direct successor in the shops, swapping the charging port is the more sensible choice. You will find an overview of more models in the Wiko repair hub.
One thing to bear in mind: the View2 has no IP certification against water. If moisture got into the micro-USB channel – through rain, sweat or a damp bag – the contacts can corrode. In that case do not keep charging the device and let us know in advance, so we can inspect the socket and the surrounding board thoroughly before fitting.
Frequently asked questions about Wiko View2 charging port repair
How much does the charging port swap on the Wiko View2 cost?
Replacing the micro-USB charging port on the Wiko View2 costs a flat 49 EUR. This fixed price includes the spare part, the fitting, the charging test and a 6-month warranty. There are no surcharges or hidden items.
Is everything really included in the 49 EUR price?
Yes, the 49 EUR fully covers the replacement port, the work and the function test. If the diagnosis shows that only a cleaning is needed, it works out cheaper from 29 EUR – we charge only for the work your View2 actually needs.
Does the Wiko View2 have micro-USB or USB-C as its port?
The View2 from 2018 charges via a micro-USB port; USB-C did not exist yet on this model. We fit exactly the matching micro-USB socket, so you do not have to worry about the connector type.
My View2 only charges when I twist the cable – what is going on?
If you have to push the cable into a certain position, the contacts in the micro-USB socket no longer sit firmly. That is classic wear on the View2. The swap for 49 EUR makes the plug click in firmly and straight again.
Could the problem be the charging cable rather than the port?
Quite possibly, which is why we first test the View2 with various micro-USB cables and adapters. If the fault is in the accessory, you save yourself the repair. Only when the socket itself is faulty do we swap it for 49 EUR.
How long do you need for the charging port change on the View2?
In the workshop the swap including a charging test is usually done in 1 to 2 hours. With pickup in Vienna or send-in, the transport time is added – we go through the exact schedule with you when you book.
Do my photos and contacts stay intact during the charging port swap?
Yes, swapping the micro-USB port does not touch the View2's storage. Your photos, contacts and apps stay completely intact. We only recommend a backup as a precaution if moisture was involved as well.
Can I drop the View2 off with you in person for the repair?
No, dropping it off in person is not possible, as we do not run an open shop with a counter. In Vienna we collect the View2 with the pickup service, and from the rest of Austria it comes to us by post.
How exactly does the View2 pickup in Vienna work?
After booking we agree a collection slot together. A courier picks the View2 up from you, we renew the charging port in the workshop and then deliver the fully charged device back to you.
Can I send the View2 in from Salzburg or Linz?
Yes, the send-in service applies to all of Austria. Pack the View2 well padded and send it to Dr.-Natterer-Gasse 4a/Top 57, 1020 Vienna. After the swap it goes back to you insured.
What warranty do you give on the new charging port?
You get a 6-month warranty on the swapped micro-USB port and the fitting. Should the port cause problems again within this period without any external impact, we repair it at no charge.
Do you fit an original or an aftermarket charging port?
We fit precise-fit, tested quality charging ports for the View2 that match the original in contact strength and charging power. There is no separate original/aftermarket choice for this part – the fixed price stays 49 EUR.
What does the diagnosis cost before you swap the socket?
The diagnosis costs 25 EUR and is credited in full on a repair order, so it effectively drops away. This way we make sure whether the socket itself, dirt or another component is causing the charging problem.
The charging port was wet and the View2 no longer charges – what now?
As the View2 has no water protection, moisture can cause corrosion at the contacts. Do not keep charging the device and have it checked by us. We clean the contacts and swap the socket if it is already affected.
Is the charging port repair worth it on the View2 or better a new phone?
The repair is almost always worth it. For 49 EUR the View2 runs fully again, while an equivalent new device is more expensive and means the tedious setup of data and accounts. As long as only the charging port is weakening, there is no reason for a replacement device.
