a few weeks ago, the charging port on my phone stopped working. luckily, i have a phone from a company that has put repairability as a high priority, so i was able to order a new usb board for 10 bucks and install it myself using their tutorial. i feel very accomplished, i have never repaired an electronic like that before. :)
Mine stop working all the time. Turns out I have lots of lint in my pocket.
I changed the screen on my phone by myself once, then a month later I dropped the phone and had to do it again.
have you considered using a dust plug, or one of those magnetic chargers that you keep the charging tab in the socket at all times? i certainly have haha
I did get the magnetic thing, it worked well for a while, but it turns out that some of the lint in my pockets is magnetic. So slowly the magnet got clogged up and wouldn’t connect anymore.
I also scrape the lint out of someone’s charging port every now and then. Good quality of life improvement when the plug snaps in properly again.
