Tried all your tips! The wood toothpick did the trick. What a difference, the cable went in much further and had the little tick. I could feel some softness in the port, probably sawdust. Saved me from sending it in for repair. Thank you so much.

[@tjablaj]

My god! I have had my phone for like 2 years now. For about 1 year i have struggle with the charging thinking it was poor quality cable that made it charge so bad and made the c connector laggy. 10 new chargingcables and this clip appear random when i was looking on yt and now all my cargingcables work perfectly and no laggy c connector anymore... Just a quick roting with a toothpick and it was like new. Jesus christ! Thank you so much!❤

On the point of giving up with my Lenovo laptop, which has a USB C type power charger port. We thought for sure that we were going to need an expensive repair, after getting the back off the laptop and seeing that the port was soldered to the board. Tried with a plastic toothpick as a last resort - wish I'd done this first. I didn't even see any fluff or anything come out, but it clearly cleaned enough to allow contact again. Thanks so much for your video.

[@samdamti851]

Thanks for the tips! Worked really well. Another video I watched recommended using a needle but I think your way is less likely to damage the phone. I didn't have the cleaner so I used 70% rubbing alcohol. Also had these plastic toothpicks called Doctor's Brushpick that were amazing for this. The wood ones splinter too quickly. I turned my phone off so instead of turning it on every time to test, I kept working on it until the usb cable fit well without a wobble. It took like 30 minutes for me. Guess I really packed that dirt in, so don't give up people if it doesn't work right away!

[@mikesunboxing]

Glad it helped - and yes, that dirt gets very compacted inside there sometimes!

[@leroymentor9932]

I'm so glad I found this video 👏👍 one thing I would say is though to just be careful when cleaning on the middle of the type-c port not to move the connectors especially on the ends of the middle part. I was so sad when my 40W charging stopped working, I almost reluctantly got a new phone

[@mikesunboxing]

Great point! And thanks for watching :-)

[@felicial7628]

This video helped me fix my port! Mine was getting very hard to charge. And, I was looking at maybe trading it in or maybe cracking it open. But, I just did not want to do either of those. And, I had not thought about cleaning it. My problem is my iPad with a USB C port. It turns out, it did not have lint in it. So then I got a green Gum brand interdental brush (tight fit) and some alcohol. I poured alcohol on the cover for the Interdental brush and covered the tip with my thumb to keep the alcohol from draining out. Then, I dipped the brush in the alcohol and cleaned the port. The brush was small enough to fit in and it has a little joint on it to help it move freely. And, it pulled out a lot of dirt or oxidized metal. And, now it charges. Who knew?! House hold quick fixes could save so much time, effort, money, and stress!
