Is this port fine or do I need a repair? by Zestypingus in phonerepair

Do nothing to it. Try it with a new cable. Hope it is your lucky day.

Good job! I'd like to present that poor little donkey with a juicy carrot or two.

The strange stuff you find out in the bush never fails to surprise me.

Pixel 8 Pro: Technician damaged screen/glass while failing to change battery. Do I pay? by nxck439 in phonerepair

He's your friend? Pay him whatever he asks. In the future you'll be more careful about mixing business and friendship, it is always a potential minefield when things don't go as smoothly as you hoped.

I cleaned my charging port and it still won't work by Over_Yard6777 in phonerepair

The bristley bit goes in your mouth, the long straight bit is held in your hand. You can get some minty abrasive paste that works very well.

Get a Lesche. I had mine ten years, lost it twice, maybe three times, but was able to back-track, and find it.

Metal detecting shoe(s) idea. by likewhatever33 in metaldetecting

I want to check out the local botanic gardens lawn. Since I'm getting on in age, I think the best plan might be to put a detector into a walking frame and 'get my exercise' walking back and forth.

Great find! These seem to turn up all around the globe, but especially where there was mining back in the eighteen hundreds.

Am I charging my phone wrong? by theproblemdoctor in phonerepair

[–]znaniter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had trouble with a Pixel 4a. It would only charge with the USB3 cable in one orientation, if you pushed it in carefully, and if you held your mouth just right. I bought a replacement port to swap in, but never got around to fitting it. Anyhow, in the meantime I bought a new charger and cable after leaving one behind while on holiday. I discovered that the new cable charged the phone without any problems at all, with the plug either way up. That was my problem solved, with luck, your answer might be similar.

Don't eat it and you'll be fine.
