PMIC Repair Business? (Galaxy S8+)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8+ that does not charge properly.  I believe I have determined it to be a motherboard issue related to the PMIC.  I am looking for a company that is willing to replace this piece as I do not have the equipment nor the skill to do it.

Hi Scott,

How did you purchase the phone? If you got it with a carrier plan, then here in Australia we can send phones supplied with plans back to the our carriers for repair. Other than that, all I could suggest is to send the unit to a Samsung service center.

Are you sure it is not the usb port?  I have had a lot of issues with mine.  The solution that worked for me was to switch to a wireless charger. I tried the disc charger by Samsung and hated it because it can slip off. I went with one of the stand  up that can lean or go flat.  You can find them on amazon from $40 to $100.  For me, it was the usb connector that is not working.

Given that information, then there is clearly a fault with the phone and it would need to be returned for service. There could be no other solution to my mind?
