    Step 1: get wooden toothpick

    Step 2: sharpen toothpick (unless smoll enough)

    Step 3: patiently remove all the wool/dust/fiber in the charge hole. It looks like belly button lint.

    Step 4: your usb works again, and you didn’t need to change your 1000$ phone ffs

      Step 3 is actually break off the toothpick in the port.

      Step 4 is find that tiny sewing needle someone got you in a little sewing kit as a gift as if your not some kind of goblin.

      Step 5 wow this needle works great why did I think putting a literal splinter into my phone’s charge port was a good idea?

        Metal bad for gold, wood breaks but does not scratch metal. Plastic works too but ive had more success with wood since i can shape it

        Holy smokes, this actually worked! Still like my wireless charger but dang it’ll be nice to charge at places without one again
