ThinkPhone: Is it possible to repair the usb-c port?

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 05:09:19 -0700

Hello,

I recently splashed a bit of ocean water on my phone while on vacation. it didn't seem like much at the time, but I may have caused some damage to the usb-c port.

After drying it off, I received the "moisture detected" notification when attempting to charge it. When I got home, I left in some rice overnight, and it will now charge, but only when plugged into a computer or lower wattage charger.

It's been about a week, and it still won't fast-charge, nor do my audio adapters work anymore (especially annoying, since this phone lacks a headphone jack).

I have cleaned the port using a compressed air and a small swab with a bit of isopropyl alcohol.

The phone is operating normally otherwise.

So am I screwed? Or, is it possible to repair the port?

ThinkPhone: Problems keeping a network connection for a few months.

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 16:01:26 -0700

I had my thinkphone for 13 months with absolutely no problems I love the phone. Unfortunately I dropped it too hard one night and from then on had problems staying connected to the network. It was every so often at first and after a few months it became constant. So I just opened it up and doing a visual inspection I noticed the black coax cable was disconnected from the main board. Thinking that would be an easy fix I unfortunately noticed that it wasn't disconnected but the entire connector was broken off of the main board. Does anyone know if the black coax cable has anything to do with network connection and wasn't the cable held in place when the cover was attached before I removed it. Obviously now I think the whole phone is trash because the connector is broken off of the main board so I'm super bummed.
