I know the sibling suggested a toothpick, but everything besides a needle has been too large and too week in my experience. There's nothing important at the bottom of the port so just jam it in there and scrape around until you can get a bunch of lint out. You will be surprised what you find.
- kibwen 4y agoI use a safety pin. The amount of lint I get out is unbelievable. And I have to scrape hard to get it all out, it's extremely compacted. Don't stop until you hear the sound of metal on plastic.
- jprd 4y agoWhittle the toothpick a smidgen with a razor blade or similar. Metal scraping flimsy metal contacts that are nigh-unrepairable is a hard lesson. Unfortunately it is also one that I seem to need to re-learn on a consistent basis.
- tim333 4y agoI think going gently with a metal needle might be safer? The metal contacts are springy and need a certain amount of force to bend.
