I need to replace the charging port on my daughters Tab 2 7.0 I have proved that this is defective by getting the TAB to charge by applying pressure to the charging connector to force the contacts together. The charging cable is good because it works perfectly on my TAB.

So - I have disassembled the tab quite easily, and I have purchased a new connector. I am looking for any advice on how to remove the old connector from the circuit board, and then install the new one. For example, is it 100% solder connectors or is there some glue between the connector and the circuit board that I need to melt with a heat gun.

Thanks
