USB-C Charging Fault Repair UK
UK mail-in repair for USB-C laptop charging faults: damaged connectors, 5V-only charging, power delivery negotiation problems and board-level charging issues.
USB-C Fault Types
USB-C charging is more than a socket; power delivery negotiation and board condition matter.
5V-Only Charging
Faults where the charger gives basic voltage but does not negotiate the required laptop voltage.
Ripped Pads
Board pad and trace damage checked before confirming whether repair is practical.
Quote And Repair Process
The aim is to confirm the likely route before parts are ordered or specialist bench time is committed.
- Send the laptop model, charger type and whether it charges from any USB-C port.
- Photos of the damaged port help decide whether mail-in is suitable.
- Connector replacement and power delivery diagnosis are quoted separately where needed.

FAQs
Useful details before booking or posting a device.
What does 5V-only charging mean?
It means the charger may provide basic voltage but the laptop is not negotiating the higher voltage needed to charge properly.
Can a USB-C port be replaced?
Yes, many can, but the result depends on board condition, pad damage and availability of the correct connector.
What if pads are ripped?
Some ripped pads can be repaired with trace work, but severe damage may make the repair unreliable or uneconomical.
