IPhone 4s battery connector.

Hi, I have an iPhone 4s and I was changing the battery in it and the battery connector socket has come off the motherboard. Does anybody know of a phone shop etc who could put me a new socket on or solder the old one back on. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael.

It all depends if there is any damage to the board - as it could have ripped some of the track up - or one of the solder pads..

Thanks for your reply Ghozer, I will pop in and have a word with them.

Luckily the dock connector isn't connected directly to the logic board, it's connected by a snap on ribbon cable. It is a fairly easy replacement for anyone who likes tinkering with that kind of thing. There are guide videos on YouTube and the parts are relatively cheap.

Edit: Sorry completely misread your opening post. Thought you meant the charger port. Ignore my comment.

Hi again. Ghozer the link you gave me was invaluable as FoneFunShop repaired the iPhone in a matter of hours and it is now fully working again! Thanks again.
