That’s right , at the very beginning it says that no parts are needed , what about the new charging port where can we get it?

John Wick - Feb 15, 2019

I am incredibly curious, and a little bit excited, to hear what it is that was going through your mind at the start of this in comparison to when you reached the end? The exact moment that the very title of this article says very clearly the word “replacement” and then to see the amazing luck of the mistaken omission which read “No Parts Required” only to then be let down again when you realized that a part was in fact required. After-all it is called “Charging Port Replacement” so I’m sure you probably healed up pretty quick from the heartbreak you suffered.

Very clear instructions, thanks.
