Does anyone know how to fix a phone when it only charges at a certain angle of the wire?

Is that it just being _on the way out_? :(

I've had it around 3 years,and use it similarly to how I use my limbs, so I feel like it must be kinda on that way anyway unfortunately.

It's annoying because I really really like the type of phone I have - it's a sony xperia so it's like waterproof and has a touchbutton on the side.

I might just get another of the same type. I don't want to upgrade if I can't have it waterproof and solid and stuff :(

@eden doubt it's repairable without fucking up the waterproofing but it's generally worth trying one of those sketchy repair shops before you write a phone off; remember they'll attempt to skim your nudes and stuff tho lol

@gracie ...nudes are fine, there's enough of them online anyway (;

authenticator, bank app, and passwords ohmygod no thank you

@eden lol yep. I've repaired older phones myself in the past, mileage varies; you might find a yt walkthrough

@gracie I'll look! Thanks, I was going to poke around the connector to remove any fluff and then give up :)

@eden you could try a wee puff from an air duster, solvents have magickal properties
