Nexus 5 Replacements Parts - DIY Repair

[Christian Jacob]

My nexus 5 took a dip recently into a puddle during some pretty heavy rains here in Chicago over the weekend. The charging port isn't working anymore and actually after drying it off for a while I plugged in the charger that night it got really hot and now the port will not charge at all. Anyone know a good US source of replacement parts? Replacing the charging port seems fairly simple but I don't know where to find the part from a reputable source. I checked out ETrade Supply but of course being in Hong Kong shipping is almost as much for the part itself! Thanks in advanced.

Parts4Repair came thru. Thanks for the recommendation Ed! I got my replacement USB port and took about a week or so to arrive from California and followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-jDvZtpEJ8 took about 20 mins or so but its good as new! Looks like I can hold out till the Nexus 6!
