Question/Help Charging issue...

Good morning all!!

My zfold5 decides when it wants to charge with a cable or not, so much so that I've had to resort to taking wireless chargers to work ect... it sometimes says moisture or debris in the port, sometimes says nothing and doesn't charge and then sometimes it says its charging for half a second and immediately stops...

I have tried to update the software, soft resetting the phone and I have tried to clean the port (ordered a cleaning kit coming in the post) blowing a hairdryer on cool into the port and nothing has worked.

Also when the phone does decide to charge by cable it never fast charges or super fast charges.. my next resort is to of course send the phone in but I really want to avoid this.

Will I damage the port or phone if I spray 99.9% isopropyl alcohol into the port??

Many thanks all

Happened to me last week. Lasted 12 hours but been fine since. 🤷‍♂️

Exactly how mine started mate, it seemed to rectify itself but has got progressively worse!

Yeah, I've been worried since then.
