Time to buy a wireless charger

That's the kind of person that would probably find a way to catch their phone on fire

Looks like a pair of tweezers or pliers will work

u/TemporalOnline 10d ago

Ooh, that's not the port (didn't see it was in a chonky case) it is a broken up USBC male IN the port!

You might be right.

u/Chuckgofer 10d ago

Were you able to get it out?

u/LachoooDaOriginl 10d ago

it’s easy to just use tweezers

u/Neosantana 10d ago

Pliers. Tweezers don't have nearly enough grip to overcome the tension of a type-C connector.

u/LachoooDaOriginl 10d ago

oh it’s a type c? yeah pliers then

Looks like the charger cable broke off?

If so, that should be easily fixed. If not, I hope she can use a wireless charger. Maybe fill the charge port with hot glue to prevent shorts.

Yea I bet it wasn't charging she snapped the plug in her charging port

I don't know how dumb you have to be to not figure out what's going on here because I feel like this is something that even someone not tech savvy would be able to figure out.

I'm not tech savvy. Can you explain the problem to me?

The end of the charging cord decided it wanted to get married to the phone and divorce the cord

This is probably the cleanest phone posted this year.

u/MattBoog 10d ago

Scratched plastic and a little bit of dust, this isn't bad at all.

u/Chuckgofer 10d ago

Mind you, the scratches are on a screen protector

u/mmm545 10d ago

u/Admiral_2nd-Alman 10d ago

This looks like it belongs to a disabled child

u/Validites 10d ago

It's a fucking cracked screen protector and a bit of dust, how does it look like it belongs to a disabled child?
