galaxy s7 Galaxy S7 won't charge. Help!

[AntonChigurh]

The title says it all. As of recent, my Galaxy s7 stopped charging via USB cable. I can still charge it wirelessly using a charging pad. I have tried everything. Hard resetting the phone, blowing dust out of the USB port, straightening the contact point inside the port, checking the pins in the cable, nothing has worked so far. I have ascertained that the fault lies in the phone's USB port solely, as all of my cables work fine on every other device I own. However, here's the kicker, and the thing that's been driving me crazy for the past few days trying to figure out. It will charge using a USB cable, but only one specific one I own (an Anker 6ft micro USB cable, if it means anything). It will only charge using a wireless pad or that specific cable, nothing else. I've been pulling my hair out trying to fix it, as I don't want to spend $80-$110 to get it fixed (seeing as I'm flat broke). If anyone could provide a cause for this seemingly arbitrary breakdown and perhaps a solution I would be forever in your debt.

 

TL;DR: OP's phone stopped charging via USB cable (except, oddly, with one specific cable) and I need a solution

$80!!?? not even close

usually the charging ports just have bad contacts, if brushing & cleaning wont work, better replace it for cheap, it will sure void water resistance

Yes well $80 is what my local phone repair place quoted me for the fix. They also said there was a good chance the screen could break in the replacement process, in which case they'd charge me for the cost of replacing the screen ($110)
