I've had my Edge 30 Pro for a couple of years now without (major, anyway) issues, but just in the last few days or so, I've noticed it acting strange with charging. Having previously had iPhones long ago (and so, having to do the old "magic angle" trick with many a Lighting cable) it feels like a positioning problem, but it's very slight.

What happens when I plug it in is this. About half the time, it connects and charges normally. The other half, it connects for a second (it buzzes, I see the on-screen animation, and the battery indicator displays charging) but disconnects almost immediately. Occasionally, it will do this a second time, after which, no amount of wiggling gets it to reconnect.

At home I have three chargers around my desk; the original 30 Pro's charger, a 45W charger for general use, and a laptop 65W charger. The 45W and 65W repeatedly showed the above behaviour. I got more luck out of the 30 Pro's original 30W charger, so filled it up with that before I continued testing. From there, I started to notice that I could get it to charge in almost any angle, but, if I wiggled it slightly directly upwards (bending cable in the direction of the screen) it would drop in/out of charging, but mostly continue to charge (rather than refuse to charge at all at any position.)

So as I said - it reads like a dodgy cable, but with 3 chargers doing different versions of the same things, I assume it's the port.

So! Anyone else had issues like this? And does anyone know if it's fairly easy to get parts to replace the charging board, should it be that? I haven't done a repair on a live device before, only old phones I've switched away from, so this is a bit more worrisome as I'd need to ensure I don't break the screen and do re-seal it sufficiently enough to restore (at least, most of) it's waterproofing. I assume it's screen off > cables out > daughter board replacement.

Thanks in advance everyone!
