- koyote 5y agoThis might be a long shot, but I once thought my USB-C port was broken but it turned out that all that happened was that fluff and dust/dirt was lodged inside and the cable no longer went in all the way. The fix was to slowly scrape all the fluff out with a needle (I am sure there are better ways). This is of course assuming your issue isn't anything electronic.
- astronautjones 5y agodon't use metal to do that! use compressed air
- zibzab 5y agoJust use a toothpick
- xdavidliu 5y agoeven paperclips are way too large for usb-c slots; toothpicks are even bigger than that, even if you consider their conical shaped tips, so there's absolutely no chance a toothpick will work. The only thing that worked for me was a bent staple.
- LegitShady 5y agoI've done it carefully a few times using the sim card slot tool that comes with the phone. When it gets crusted in there not sure compressed air will do it.
- xdavidliu 5y agoi have a pixel 3 and exact same thing happened to me. a bent staple worked perfectly for me in scraping out the dust. paperclips are way too large.
- pkulak 5y agoThank you! I had been using a paperclip, but I guess it was too large. Staple worked a treat. I may never buy a new phone again! :D
