One thing you can really love about a phone is a phone internal design with simple construction. Take for instance the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone. The Galaxy Note 2 has a nifty charging port design with its own little circuit board that you can replace very easily should your charging port start to malfunction.

Replacing the charging port on a Galaxy Note 2 phone is a simple fix anyone can do, and it's inexpensive too!
All you need is to get a replacement for the charger port micro USB connector flex cable ribbon for your Galaxy Note 2 (in my case, a Note 2 GT-N7105), as well as a tiny screwdriver and plastic trim tool.

Be sure to get the right charging flex cable for your Galaxy Note 2 model as they are all not the same.
