Help Repairing charger port

[threepea63]

I need help someone please. I would like to know how to open my ZTE-Z730 Concord II to get access to the circuit board. I just need to know what the safest, easiest way to get to the other side of the charger port. My problem is that my charger is very loose, will not keeping charging unless I'm basically holding it in place. It just recently started doing this. I've seen every stinking video (no offense) on youtube for this issue but not specific enough! No video directed at my specific problem or my exact model. Many Many others though. Any and all knowledge good knowledge will be greatly appreciated. Oh FYI going to a repair store or tech is not an option right now...SERIOUSLY FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED!!!

Welcome to our AndroidForums, threepea63.

Hmm, I probably would have suggested what you've already tried .

Barring any specific videos or instructions, perhaps you could glean/use/infer what the other videos are doing and apply that to your specific case? I.e., carefully open the case, keep track (perhaps record with another phone) of what you do and where things came from/went, find the loose connection and go from there (i.e., possible soldering, etc.)...

I've little (good) experience with a soldering iron, so I can't give you any specific pointers there.

Hopefully others might have some suggestions for you, too!

Best of luck!
