Don't you have to replace the device if it's USB C because the compliant mechanism is in the port, not the cable?
My steam deck just started doing this....
Can a steam deck be charged wirelessly? I got a wireless charge pad for my Galaxy S-10e when the charge port started being wonky and it's worked for a few years now.
If not, order a new charge port, it shouldn't be more than $15, and remember to remove your sim card before trying to disassemble the case.
For my old phone I would put a drop of super-glue on the face of the USB-C cable, and let it dry.
worst case scenario, the usb port is replaceable on most phones without soldering
I tried this on my previous phone, Samsung S9, it made everything worse. I bought and replaced a daughterboard with usb, microphone, antenna, and some other stuff. I was very careful, know my way around electronics, found a perfect iFixit video instruction, but afterwards my antenna didn't work anymore. My partner told me to just take it to a repair shop and let a professional handle it. I tried two and they both said "we don't do dat repair because it's too difficult. It can't be done without breaking something else in the phone". So there it is
i applied that fix multiple times on multiple phones, never an issue.
maybe you got unlucky? and those are some shitty professionals that cant replace a dumb daughterboard.
