    • Place the iFixit opening tool underneath the board in between the micro USB port and the microphone.

    • Push forward and lift gently until the board lifts up.

    • Remove the charging port board from the device.

    This is great info, but one thing is missing. Where do I get a new “charging port board” to replace the bad one?

    EDIT: OK. Found what I think is the correct part, but it would be great to be able to order it from you along with the tools not just the tools.
