My LG KP199 Charging Connection

One of my phones which I use for office calls is LG KP199 which I had taken due to very long battery life was for quite some time showing problem charging with the USB cable and is now also showing problem charing with AC power adaptor. It only makes charging contact if I hold the cable in specific position. The charger connector is the phone is loose probably due to bad soldering in the assembly of the connector. Over period of time now I can even see the connector move slightly inside the phone connector cutout/groove. I should have got it fixed in warranty period which I suspect is now expired. Will be opening the phone and fixing soldering if possible.

Last year I had fixed similar broken connector problem on an HTC Windows Mobile phone for a colleague of mine and hopefully will be able to fix my phone too.

My other phone the dual sided Samsung F300 Ultra Music is doing good but lacks speaker phone feature for calls (but has a good speaker for music).

Rest Later.
