I know this may be obvious to most in this community, but it saved me $1,000+ and wanted to let everyone know that it is in fact worth your time, effort, and hassle ordering the tools, watching or reading a quick tutorial or 2 and spending the time to clean you phone-s charging port.

Some people are just absurdly lazy.

Also what kind of kit does op have? A sim card ejector, a metal brush, a q tip thing, half a zip tie, and some adhesive things? Any thin plastic shim will work perfectly, and sometimes even a stiff plastic bristle brush works well.

    Not all are lazy, some just don't know.

    My in-laws didn't clean the dust out of their PC for almost a decade because when they purchased it, no one told them to clean the filter on the front.

    I don’t think plate manufacturers have to tell you to do the dishes. Everything needs cleaning, how do people not know this?

    Well yeah because the plate looks dirty and its because you purposefully put food on it.

    No one is purposefully throwing dust at their PC, and if someone doesn't know that their PC is pulling in air, they wouldn't know it needs any cleaning besides dusting off like other furniture.

    I wouldn’t put anything conductive in there.

    Wood toothpicks worked great on lightning ports, usbc is a little trickier and more fragile so I use a plastic spudger from an old screen replacement kit.
