What Our Customers Say — Straight From Google

What's going on

Surface devices use either a proprietary Surface Connect port, a USB-C port, or both depending on the model, and both types are common failure points simply from years of daily plugging and unplugging. A port repair is usually a targeted fix — replacing the port assembly or resoldering a loose connection — rather than the wholesale logic board replacement it's sometimes assumed to require.

Common signs to look out for

  • Charging only works at a certain cable angle
  • Port feels loose or wobbly to the touch
  • Charging stops when the device is moved slightly
  • Visible bent pins or debris inside the port
  • Charging works with one cable but not another

What usually causes it

  • Worn port contacts from repeated daily use
  • A loose or cracked port solder joint
  • Debris or lint buildup inside the port
  • Cable-side wear rather than the port itself

How we diagnose this

01

Cable & adapter swap test

We rule out the cable itself first, since it's the cheaper and more common cause.

02

Port continuity test

We test whether the port is making a consistent electrical connection.

03

Physical port inspection

We check for debris, bent pins, or a cracked solder joint under magnification.

04

Port repair or replacement

The port assembly is resoldered or replaced, and charging is retested before handover.

Common questions

Surface charging port repair FAQs

Usually not. A charging port repair is typically a targeted fix — replacing the port assembly or resoldering a loose connection — rather than the full logic board replacement it's sometimes assumed to require.
We test with a known-good cable and adapter first, since a worn cable is a more common and cheaper cause than a damaged port. If the fault follows the device across multiple cables, it's the port.
Charging port repair ranges from RM 120 to RM 300+, depending on whether it's a resolder or a full port replacement. We confirm the exact price after inspection.
Same-day is common when the part is in stock and the fault is straightforward — the 1–3 days window mainly accounts for part availability for less common Surface models. We confirm your actual timeline after diagnosis, not just the general range.
No. This is a hardware-level fix that doesn't touch your storage or files — your Surface boots back into exactly the same software state it was in before, data untouched.
Every repair carries our Standard Component Warranty, terms and conditions applying to labour and the fix itself. If a replacement part carries its own separate manufacturer or supplier warranty — batteries and SSDs typically do — that can extend further depending on the specific part, and we tell you exactly what applies to your repair before any work begins.
No. Basic live-agent assessment is always free at Dotronix, whether you approve the repair afterward or not. You only pay if you say yes to the quote we send you.
Both work, shaped to each hub. Book ahead with Our Live Agent for a guided workshop visit in Kepong, or visit our Kuchai Lama branch — call/WhatsApp first to confirm availability. Either way you get the same diagnosis and pricing.
