Follow these steps carefully. Take photos at each stage for reference during reassembly.

1

Power off and heat the back

Turn off your Samsung Galaxy A54. Heat the back panel to soften the adhesive, then pry it open with a suction cup and plastic picks.

2

Disconnect the battery

Locate the battery flex cable on the mainboard and disconnect it using a plastic spudger. This prevents electrical damage during the repair.

Remove the charging board

Most Android phones have the charging port on a small daughter board connected via a ribbon cable to the main board. Remove the screws and disconnect the ribbon cable to free the board.

4

Install the replacement board

Seat the new charging daughter board, reconnect the ribbon cable, and secure the screws. Ensure the port aligns flush with the frame cutout.

5

Reassemble and test

Reconnect the battery, reseal the back panel with fresh adhesive, and test charging with multiple cables, USB data, and the bottom-firing microphone.
