Hardware replacement USB Charging Port Connector missing 2 pin, is normal?

[riccetto80]

hi people! i buy from china a replament connector, because one ps vita fat i own have a faulty usb port, then i was to a center for telephone reparation to ask they to replace it.

they told me is missing the new connector, 2 pin and they cannot do it, will not work.

i was sure is normal because in photo most of seller have connector missing 2 pins.

so my question is:

will work with 2 pin missing, or the new connector is really faulty?

someone with experience in this kind of repair can help me please?

Have you tried to find out what kind of pin is missing?
Maybe its just an unused one or GND or something like that...?

well i dont have any experience, i dont know to solder and to test it!

i was sure if i go to a service with a new connector they will do this for me!

anyway there are a lot of photo with this same 2 pin missing on chinese website, and good reviews, so i guess is probable this 2 pin dont really needed for the replacement usb port to work...

if your schematic list is read from left to right, both the missing pin are GND pin, i think.

i will try to go to a service specialized in console, this one was specialized in phones.

Maybe ask @Modificatorul about the soldering, as he does really good repairs, fine solderings...
and ofc he should be located in the same country as you...

Edit: Forget something.. I bet you're right and the missing pins are not needed at all.

Thanks for recomendation.

One pin is 100 % gnd and the second mising pin go to a via in the pinout picture probably another ground, i don't have a vita to compare.

So i will say usb data comunication, charghing and so on will work with the port you bought.

Edit both pins,16,19 are gnd .

thanks both of you!!!


So this explain why many pictures of replacement port from china have this 2 missing pin, too! but good reviews!

I will go to a service specialized in console, with re-balling too, so i hope the technician will have good experience...
