For way too long now I have had to plug it in and not let a breeze pass it lest it stops charging. I went at it and it quickly got a lot better where I didn’t have to wiggle it around to the right position to start charging.
But I kept going, dug out a lot more stuff than I expected, and when I tried it again, get this, it actually went in. It doesn’t just slightly penetrate to establish contact. It proper locks in.
Charging while on the go has been impossible for a long time, but I think it should now be easy as ever.
USB-C btw
How did you clean it out? With a toothpick? I have the same issue and it’s been a while since I cleaned out the port.
@t_berium@lemmy.world It’s not like i looked up how one should do it so don’t just listen to me… I tried a toothpick but it was too thick and prone to leaving itself behind. Then I moved on to an Exacto Knife that already had a bit of the tip broken off, and I used the dull edge to push the scraped out stuff up and out. I had to do these scoop maneuvers around the middle bit to make good progress. I assume you could easily damage something or even shock yourself if you just dick around in there, so maybe don’t.
