My son's Galaxy S3 won't charge, does anyone know of a good cell phone repair shop in NOVA or the Valley?

the charging port fails on the S3. there isnt really a way to fix it without buying a new phone or main board. what i did was buy one of the QI wireless chargers. samsung makes a back cover that has it built in or you can buy a little pad that goes under the battery cover and then buy the matching QI charging pad. thing i had $30 or so in my setup. check ebay and amazon for them, just search galaxy S3 wireless charging and you should get plenty of hits.

Great solution.  



I'm having this problem w/ my S3 and I'm not due for upgrade w/ VZW yet.  Only 1 charging cable will work at this point and it has to be positioned perfectly.  Just going to be a good consumer sucka and pay up for a new S5 soon.
