    HTC EVO charging port ripped out

    I have this HTC EVO phone and appears to me that charging port is ripped out with traces. I have image of how it looks, so if someone has an idea how to solder back to make it work I would really appreciate it. Thank you

    Ouch... I thought only the Nokia N900 was the only phone that suffers this fate.
    Usually there's not much can be done because the ripped out tracks are gone from the board and the only hope is that the track can be tapped from elsewhere.

      I would buy a new port and solder it back on to existing pads and then bridge it to the nearest circuit that each trace goes to. Then throw some conductive glue like J-B weld, to harden up the port, so it doesn't get rip out again.

      Plus it's only 5v RX TX Ground and 5th for shielding.

      It's not hard to retap it somewhere just got to find the point of entry on the circuit.

          ohm it out with a DMM, but be careful of where you tap, make sure it's where the circuit begins for that trace.

            If you see any trace left, you could scrape away the the PCB with a screwdriver to reveal the copper underneath. But I don't see anything on the surface on that photo.
