My S7 Edge's charging port is broken, it doesn't charge anymore.

With nothing to lose I tried this and couldn't believe how well it worked. After a year of frustration with my charging port your toothpick suggestion worked wonders. Thanks!

I was asleep, phone was charging (Galaxy S7 Edge) I knocked my pillow off the bed and it knocked over a full pint of water that went all over my charging phone. I cleared up but left my phone charging. Was woken later by a strange alarm noise from my phone & a burning smell!

My charging port was fried! I tried using a fast usb charger and it got fried, totally ruining the cable. My only option for charging now is a wireless Qi type charger where you just lay the phone on the unit and it charges as if by magic! The downside of this is charging in the car & how do I trasfer photos, music etc to and from my laptop without using a usb cable?

I did just try cleaning out the port and saw the little bit of metal in the middle that goes into the slot in the small end of the usb plug was off centre and squashed up towards the top of the port. I gently bent this back down and tried yet another usb cable and hey presto, it started charging, no burning smell either so hopefully problem is now solved for me!!

Like Jim's experience, I also was amazed and pleased to see how well this simple technique worked. Thank you Dennis.
