Critical Fitment — Confirm Your Model First
This part fits the original Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 released in September 2020. The model number is printed on the back of the tablet, near the bottom edge. It must read either SM-T500 (Wi-Fi only) or SM-T505 (Wi-Fi + LTE / 4G).
If your tablet is a Tab A7 Lite (SM-T220 or SM-T225, 8.7-inch screen, 2021), a Tab A8 10.5 (SM-X200 or SM-X205, 2022), or a Tab A 10.1 (SM-T510 or SM-T515, 2019), this part will not fit. Each of those tablets uses a different chassis and a different charging port board layout.
Not sure? Send a photo of the back-cover sticker with your order notes. We will verify the model before dispatch and swap to the correct part if needed.
Is The Charging Port Actually The Problem?
Before you order, run the three-step swap-test. The fault is often the cable, the charger, or the battery, not the port itself.
1. Swap the cable
Try a known-good USB-C cable. Frayed or worn cables are the most common cause of "won't charge" on the Tab A7. If a fresh cable charges fine, your port is healthy.
2. Swap the charger
Try a different wall adapter, ideally a 15W or higher Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging brick. A weak or aged charger can mimic a port fault.
3. Inspect the port
Shine a torch into the USB-C port. Look for lint, bent pins, or corrosion. Lint blockage is extremely common on tablets carried in bags. A wooden toothpick clears most of it.
4. Still failing?
If the cable, charger and lint check all rule out, the charging port board itself is worn or damaged. That is exactly what this AMPLUS part replaces.
Symptoms This Charging Port Board Fixes
Tab A7 will not charge at all
Charger plugged in, no charging icon, battery level static. Classic dead-port symptom once cable and brick are ruled out.
Charges but very slowly
Tab A7 takes 8-12 hours to fill instead of the normal 3-4 hours. Worn USB-C contacts can drop the charge rate down to trickle.
Charger keeps disconnecting
Constant ding-dong notification as the charger drops in and out. Internal port pins are no longer making firm contact.
Cable falls out / loose port
USB-C plug wobbles when seated, or falls out at the slightest knock. The metal latch tabs inside the port have worn out.
Need to wiggle to charge
Charges only at one specific cable angle. Indicates worn data and power pins inside the USB-C connector.
Microphone not working
Voice calls, video calls or recordings pick up no audio. The primary mic sits on this same charging port board, so a damaged board often kills both at once.
Bent USB-C pins / physical damage
A cable yanked sideways, side-loaded, or stepped on has crushed the centre tongue inside the port. Pins visibly bent, missing or sitting at an angle.
Liquid damage / corrosion
Green or white residue inside the port from a spill or sweat. Corroded pins cannot pass clean current and need full board replacement.
Charger detected, no actual charge
Lightning-bolt icon shows briefly then drops away, or sits there but battery percentage never rises. Bad data-line handshake on the port.
PC will not detect tablet
USB data transfer to a laptop fails even though the cable is fine. The port can pass power but no longer pass data.
Why AMPLUS Aftermarket Plus Beats Cheap Aftermarket
AMPLUS stands for Aftermarket Plus — a higher-tier aftermarket grade built to OEM dimensions with proper bench-test sign-off. Plenty of mystery-vendor charging port boards exist on bulk listings for a few dollars. They cost less for a reason. Here is what AMPLUS Aftermarket Plus gives you that the cheap option does not.
Genuine A-grade material
AMPLUS is a recognised A-grade aftermarket brand. Each board uses spec-correct copper traces, gold-flash USB-C contacts and a properly seated mic module. Cheap clones cut corners on every layer.
Bench-tested before dispatch
Every AMPLUS board is multimeter-tested for USB-C continuity and the mic module is signal-checked. We catch DOA units before they ever reach you.
Includes the primary mic
Some bargain listings ship the bare PCB with the mic module missing or de-soldered. AMPLUS ships the complete board with the mic seated, soldered and tested.
12-month warranty backed locally
AMPLUS carries a full 12-month manufacturer warranty, handled locally from Forest Lake. Mystery-vendor parts give you no recourse and no return path.

Install Overview — Intermediate Skill Level
The Tab A7 charging port board sits behind the rear cover, near the bottom edge. The job typically takes 30 to 60 minutes for a confident DIY repairer. No soldering is required.
Tools needed
Heat source (hairdryer or repair mat), plastic opening picks, plastic spudger, PH00 Phillips screwdriver, ESD wrist strap and replacement rear-cover adhesive.
Heat the rear cover
Warm the perimeter of the rear cover. This softens the factory adhesive so the cover lifts cleanly without cracking.
Pry from a corner
Slide a plastic pick into a top corner. Work slowly along each edge. Do not pry near the screen flex on the long side.
Disconnect the battery
Always lift the battery FPC connector first using a plastic spudger. This isolates the board before any other work.
Remove the old port board
Lift the FPC clip on the old charging port board, unclip the ribbon cable and remove the small mounting screws. Lift the board out.
Fit the AMPLUS board
Seat the new board in the same recess. Re-clip the FPC ribbon, screw down. Reconnect the battery and bench-test before resealing.
If you are not confident opening tablets, book the install with our Forest Lake repair bench instead. Highly recommended for professional installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm my Tab A7 is the SM-T500 or SM-T505? +
Flip the tablet over. Look at the small print on the back cover near the bottom edge. The model number is printed there. SM-T500 is the Wi-Fi model. SM-T505 is the Wi-Fi + LTE / 4G model.
You can also check inside Settings. Open Settings, About tablet, Model number. If your model number starts with anything other than SM-T500 or SM-T505, this part will not fit.
Will this fit a Tab A7 Lite (SM-T220 / SM-T225)? +
No. The Tab A7 Lite is a smaller 8.7-inch tablet released in 2021. It uses a different chassis and a different charging port board layout.
Order the SM-T220 or SM-T225 charging port board instead. Send us a message if you are unsure and we will steer you to the right part.
Will this fit a Tab A8 10.5 (SM-X200 / SM-X205)? +
No. The Tab A8 10.5 is a 2022 release with a different chassis. The charging port board sits in a different recess and the FPC connector is not the same.
For the Tab A8 10.5 you need an SM-X200 or SM-X205 charging port board. Ask us for the matching AMPLUS part for that model.
Does this part include the microphone? +
Yes. The primary microphone module is pre-soldered onto the board. If your Tab A7 has lost mic audio in calls or recordings, this part fixes that fault at the same time as the charging issue.
Many bargain listings ship the bare PCB with the mic missing. AMPLUS ships the complete assembly so the install is single-pass.
Is AMPLUS a genuine Samsung service pack? +
No. AMPLUS is an A-grade aftermarket repair-parts brand, not an official Samsung GH-series service pack. The board is a spec-correct aftermarket replacement, manufactured to OEM dimensions and tolerances.
Honest labelling matters. AMPLUS A-grade is the right choice for repair shops and DIY repairs that need a reliable part at a sensible price. If you specifically need a Samsung service pack, ask us first — pricing and lead-time differ.
Can I install this myself or do I need a repair shop? +
It is intermediate skill level. No soldering is required. The job takes a confident DIY repairer 30 to 60 minutes. The hardest part is heating and lifting the rear cover without cracking it.
If you have not opened a Samsung tablet before, professional installation is highly recommended. Our Forest Lake bench can fit it for you while you wait.
What tools do I need for the install? +
A heat source (hairdryer or repair mat) to soften the rear-cover adhesive, a set of plastic opening picks, a plastic spudger, a PH00 Phillips screwdriver, an ESD wrist strap, and replacement rear-cover adhesive strips.
No soldering iron, no programmer and no specialist gear. We stock the tablet repair toolkit separately if you need to add one to your order.
My Tab A7 charges fine but the mic is dead — will this fix it? +
Yes — in most cases. The primary microphone sits on this same charging port board. A common failure is the mic going silent while the USB-C port still charges normally.
Replacing the AMPLUS charging port board restores the mic at the same time. If the issue persists after replacement, the fault sits deeper on the motherboard audio chain — bring it in for diagnosis.
What does the 12-month warranty cover? +
AMPLUS covers manufacturing defects and early-life failure for 12 months from the date of purchase. Each board is bench-verified before dispatch, so DOA failures are rare.
The warranty does not cover physical damage caused by drop, liquid spill, mis-installation, or attempts to re-use the board across multiple tablets. Australian Consumer Law protections apply on top of the manufacturer warranty.
Where does this ship from and how fast can I have it in Brisbane? +
All AMPLUS Tab A7 charging port boards ship from Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078. Standard dispatch is 2-4 business days nationwide.
Brisbane Metro buyers typically see delivery within 1-2 business days of dispatch. Local pickup is available from the Forest Lake counter during normal trading hours — select the pickup option at checkout.
