Expert Advice & Tips
Common causes of charging issue:
- Worn charging port leads to loose connections and intermittent charging.
- Dirt, lint or debris in the port blocks power transfer.
- Faulty or frayed charging cable prevents a stable charge.
- Degraded battery cannot hold a charge effectively.
- Software glitch misreads battery status or stops charging.
- Water ingress or moisture damage disrupts power circuits.
Prevention tips:
- Keep the port free of debris with a soft brush; avoid using metal objects.
- Use the original or high‑quality third‑party charger and cable; replace damaged leads promptly.
- Protect the device from drops and exposure to water; store away from moisture.
- Regularly update software to fix charging bugs and manage battery health.
- Consider a case that reduces stress on the charging area to prevent wear.
When to repair vs replace:
Short intro: If the charging issue is caused by wear or a faulty port, repair is usually best; if the battery is swollen or the motherboard shows damage, replacement may be required.
- Repair if the port or cable is at fault and the main board is healthy; cost is typically lower and faster.
- Replace if the battery is swelling, charging is unsafe, or there are multiple board issues that affect safety or performance.
What to look for in a quality repair service:
- Transparent pricing and no hidden fees that surprise you later.
- Genuine or OEM‑grade parts with proper testing and warranty.
- Clear turnaround times and updates during the repair process.
- Certified technicians with Samsung Galaxy experience and safe handling practices.
Red flags to avoid:
- Vague quotes or pressure to proceed without diagnostics.
- Non‑standard parts or off‑brand components.
- Lack of a warranty or improper testing after repair.
- Delayed communication or unclear repair steps.
Maintenance guidance after repair:
- Keep software updated to maintain battery health and charging stability.
- Use a high‑quality charger and avoid cable tugs that stress the port.
- Periodically inspect the charging port for debris and clean gently if needed.
- Schedule annual checks if you rely on your phone heavily for work or study.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & Value
Q:
How much does this repair cost?
For the Galaxy A8 (2016) charging issue, the fixed price is £40. This price includes a diagnostic check, replacement of the charging port if required, a quality USB-C connector or compatible port, testing across multiple cables and chargers, and a 12-month warranty on the repair. We don’t charge extra for same-day service if you bring the device to our Marsh store, and there are no hidden fees. If additional parts are required beyond the standard port, we will discuss options and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Q:
Why cheaper than Apple?
We’re a local independent repair service with lower overhead than Apple Stores. Our operations are streamlined for rapid diagnostics and quick, accurate port replacements, so we can offer a competitive £40 price point for Galaxy A8 charging issues. Apple Stores often involve higher labour rates, diagnostic fees, and longer wait times, all of which add to the total cost. Our team focuses on efficiency, direct communication, and prioritising same-day service in Huddersfield and surrounding areas.
Q:
Any hidden costs?
No hidden costs. The price you’re quoted for a Galaxy A8 charging issue includes diagnosis, port replacement (if needed), testing, and a 12-month warranty on the repair. If we discover an unexpected fault that requires extra parts, we’ll explain options and seek your approval before proceeding. Our aim is full transparency, with clear pricing at Marsh and Town Centre locations in Huddersfield and nearby areas such as Brighouse and Almondbury.
Q:
Payment plans or discounts?
Standard repair is £40, with optional discounts for students or businesses with multiple devices. We offer loyalty discounts for families and multiple repairs across Marsh, Lindley, Moldgreen, and surrounding areas. Payment is simple: cash, most major cards, or contactless. For businesses, we can arrange invoicing for mobile service visits and provide receipts that clearly show the parts and labour breakdown.
Quality & Process
Q:
Parts quality?
We use OEM-grade or Samsung-approved parts for Galaxy A8 (2016) charging ports. Our technicians assess port wear, pins, and contact integrity, ensuring replacements restore reliable charging while preserving device safety. All parts meet high standards to maintain original performance, including compatibility with the Galaxy A8’s USB-C specifications and power delivery rates. We test the port with multiple chargers to confirm compatibility and durability before returning the device to you.
Q:
How long does repair take?
Most Galaxy A8 charging port repairs take around 2 hours when you visit our Marsh store. If you opt for our mobile service, we aim to complete the repair during the visit, subject to travel time and access. In our Huddersfield network, same-day service is common, with a typical window of 30-60 minutes of diagnostic work plus the port replacement and post-repair testing.
Q:
Will features work after? (Face ID, etc.)
Galaxy A8 (2016) uses a fingerprint sensor and USB-C charging; replacing the charging port does not impact biometric features or the phone’s core functionality. After the repair, our technicians re-test charging, screen responsiveness, fingerprint unlocking, and basic apps to ensure all features operate as before. If a feature appears affected, we investigate promptly and rectify any interaction issues at no extra cost within the warranty period.
Q:
Success rate?
We have a high success rate for charging issues, typically around 98% for Galaxy A8 (2016) charging port repairs. Our quality control includes a multi-point post-repair test: charging port contact, power delivery, cable compatibility, and device boot/no fault testing. In the unlikely event of a repeat fault within 12 months, we offer a free recheck and, if needed, a port replacement again at no additional labour charge.
Service Options
Q:
Walk-in, mobile, or mail-in?
We offer three convenient options for Huddersfield customers. Walk-in at iRepair Guys Marsh on 142 Westbourne Rd allows you to drop in and start a same-day repair, typically within 2 hours. Mobile repair visits bring our technicians to your business or home within Marsh, Town Centre, or surrounding areas like Almondbury and Lindley. Mail-in is available if you’re outside the area; we provide insured postage and return once the repair is completed. All options come with our standard £40 price and 12-month warranty.
Q:
How does mobile repair work?
Our mobile repair service visits your location in Huddersfield (Marsh, Town Centre, Brighouse, Almondbury, etc.). You book a time, and a trained technician arrives with the required parts. They diagnose, replace the charging port if needed, perform post-repair testing, and hand the device back with a printed receipt. We minimise downtime by aiming for the repair to be completed during the visit, often within 1-2 hours.
Q:
Need appointment?
Walk-ins are welcome at Marsh, but we recommend booking to secure same-day service, especially during peak times in Marsh and Lindley. For mobile repairs, appointments give you a guaranteed time window and help us coordinate with on-site requirements at your business or home. Our team is flexible across the Town Centre and surrounding areas, including Brighouse, Almondbury, and Moldgreen.
Q:

Yes. Our mobile service is designed for businesses and home users who prefer on-site repairs.

Warranty
Q:
What warranty?
All Galaxy A8 (2016) charging port repairs come with a 12-month warranty on parts and labour. If the same fault recurs due to the initial issue within the warranty period, we will recheck and repair again at no additional labour charge. The warranty covers the repaired charging port and associated testing; it does not extend to damage caused by misuse or unauthorised third-party repairs.
Q:
If something goes wrong?
If you experience any charging issues after repair, contact us within the warranty period. We’ll re-inspect the device, identify the root cause, and correct it promptly. Most issues are resolved during a follow-up visit or a quick diagnostic email/phone discussion. We’re proud of high customer satisfaction in Marsh, Lindley, and surrounding areas, and we’ll make it right.
Q:
Affect manufacturer warranty?
Our work does not void your Samsung manufacturer warranty. Replacements and repairs performed by our trained technicians with approved parts operate independently of the device’s original warranty terms. If your device is under manufacturer warranty, we’ll still complete the repair to the same standard, and the manufacturer’s warranty remains intact for unrelated components.
Technical
Q:
Device-specific technical question
Galaxy A8 (2016) uses a USB-C charging port. When the port shows signs of wear or dust, charging can be intermittent or fail entirely. Our technician visually inspects the port, tests continuity, and checks the power delivery from multiple chargers. If the port pins are damaged or dirty, we replace the port and re-test with compatible cables. The goal is to restore reliable charging without affecting other components.
Q:
What causes this issue?
Common causes include dust and lint build-up in the USB-C port, wear from frequent charging with non-optimal cables, and physical stress from plugging/unplugging. Age-related degeneration of the port and cheap third-party chargers can also contribute. Regular use with proper chargers and occasional cleaning reduce recurrence, and our technician guidance helps customers extend port life.
Q:
Repair or replace device?
For charging port issues on Galaxy A8 (2016), port replacement is usually the most cost-effective solution and restores full charging capability. If there’s additional motherboard or power-management damage, we’ll advise. In most cases, replacing the port is sufficient and far cheaper than replacing the entire device. Our team tests the device after repair to ensure long-term reliability before returning it.
Q:
Fix multiple issues?
Yes. If your Galaxy A8 has multiple issues (charging port plus battery health or screen sensitivity), we can quote a bundled service. Our discounts for multiple repairs apply across devices, which is particularly useful for families or businesses with several Galaxy A8 units. We’ll assess all faults, prioritise critical fixes, and offer a combined price that reflects the work required and the value of keeping devices functioning in Marsh, Lindley, and surrounding areas.
