Introduction: Fix a Loose USB-C That Won't Charge

By

Tired of having to buy a new smartphone because the old one cannot charge anymore despite being perfectly fine beside its USB-C port? No more!

After reading online how the USB-C connector delivers power you can realise that if your smartphone won't charge only because of incorrect fitting tolerance, you can fix it with a simple piece of paper!

Supplies

1 Piece of paper

1 piece of thin tape

Step 1:

Cut a slice of paper

Fold it over itself once to double its thickness.

Tape it around to make it stronger (careful not to make it too thick)

Step 2:

Insert this paper between the phone casing and the USB-C bus (the "thing in the middle" of your usb port)

Now when you plug the phone the male USB-C will press against the paper, making it fit tighter to the connector.


Note: in the picture I meant black and not "back"

Step 3:

Tape it to the back of the smartphone, now it won't budge and you won't loose it.

Step 4:

Voila!
