    I did it myself with my note 9, which I would guess is about the same difficulty level. It was honestly not so bad, you just wanna really take your time and especially have a lot of patience with the screen. The other possibility though is that you have some compressed fluff deep inside the port. The only thing I’ve ever gotten deep enough to fish that stuff out is a sowing needle.

      Is it safe to do that with a needle? I’d imagine I’d want to avoid putting metal in there.

      I also wonder if Samsung will fix it for free, but I imagine that’s unlikely.

      Edit: Another user had a great suggestion of using a wooden toothpick and that worked like a charm!
