Currently the reason I have a wireless charger.
The alternative was buying a new phone.
Have you tried cleaning out your charging port? Fixed my broken USB-C port.
I have had to carefully scoop out dust etc from my phones usbc port. (I did it with the sim tray ejector)
Just be careful not to scratch the connector in the center
live local phone repair shop reaction:
(unless whatever anti repair bs your phone manufacturer pulled off made the cost of repair higher than buying a new phone, in which case shame on the phone manufacturer)
Anti repair bs is exactly why. By policy the store would have to replace the screen and case as well.
The charging port itself was completely shot and needed to be replaced, I figured a $20 charger was the better choice.
Some phones have the port on a daughterboard for relatively cheap replacement, but some have it straight on the mainboard.
