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. :)
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.
