marcicatMy phone's been sort of iffy about the charge cord for a while, but in the last week or so it stopped working entirely. BUT! Yesterday I was one of the day's lucky 10,000! starandrea revealed to me the secrets of using a toothpick to clean the phone charge port!
NOTE 1: the internet is Conflicted about whether this is a good idea or not, but my feeling is 'the phone didn't work before and now it does,' so I'm in favor
NOTE 2: it wasn't a big deal to only be able to use the wireless charger, except that the case I put on for this month doesn't work with it, and adding the extra step of 'take case off' every time I wanted to charge my phone definitely tipped the scale against it
NOTE 3: it probably says something that I genuinely just thought the charge port would just stop working after a couple years, and that was a normal thing to expect
