HTC EVO Charging Port Problems.?

Okay, first thing is that I want to put clearly that I am here for help. I know how people are on here. I don't want negativity.

Serious answers only. :) Please read the whole thing! :)

I have purchased my HTC EVO 2 weeks ago from eBay. It was refurbished. There is a problem with most HTC EVOs having problems with loose charging ports. Mine worked perfectly fine until today, I noticed that it was very loose. So loose to the point that when I put my charger into it, it pushes the port all the way back. If I pull the charger out, it pulls the port back up. Many many people have issues with this exactly problem.

Here are the main questions I need help with.

Because it is an ongoing problem with HTC EVO, some people have gotten it replaced for cheap or free. Will I be able to get mine replaced? I don't have insurance on it. (Never had insurance on any of my 3 Sprint Phones I've ever had) But I've read forums where people got it replaced because it was a general problem with the certain phone.

Has anyone been in the situation where their EVO had this problem recently and had no insurance? What did you do? What did they do/say?

If I can't get it replaced or fixed through Sprint, does anyone know a place I can get it replaced or fixed for a reasonable price?

    Honestly I don't think they would fix it for free, but call sprint, add insurance on the phone and the next day take it to a service center. Hope it goes well. I'm going to see about getting my port fixed tomorrow on my EVO!

    Hi.I don't think you'll be able to get it repaired for free simply because most likely it does not have warranty on it.I would suggest checking with the seller (whom you bought it from).Ask if there was any warranty on it. If there is then you can do warranty exchange. Otherwise you'll have to pay out of pocket to fix it. You could always charge the battery in another phone.Just make sure the phone supports the same battery in all.
