Hello,
Up until recently my phone has been working fine, charging normally and my usb stick worked in it (it has usb one end and mini-usb the other, it used to work perfectly for transferring data from computer to phone etc) without issue. Recently the usb stick stopped showing up when I put it in, and so I thought maybe there was a build up of lint in the charging port, I tried to clean it out but all I could find to do it was a little pin (metal). Since then whenever I charge my phone nothing happens (I’ve tried various working chargers and cables) until I turn my phone off and then later back on its obvious its charged. I’ve looked a fair bit online and I think I have to replace the charging port, I just wanted to check with you guys before I try and open my phone, something I’m quite a beginner at.
It's worth noting that my girlfriend has a samsung too, and my usb stick, and all the chargers and cables work in her phone.
Thanks in advance!
