HTC One m8 USB port only works when the cable is at a certain angle

Hello

I've had my HTC one m8 for over 2 years now and recently the micro USB port has been acting up. It only works , i.e can charge and transmit data, when the cable plugged in is at a certain angle, usually it has to be bent downwards (with the screen facing up), but not too far down. Sometimes it needs to be bent to the right or left as well. I've tried moving the connector around in the port with a flat head screwdriver, but it doesn't change anything. Since my warranty ended in November, is there anything in can do?

Careful sticking a screwdriver into the port. It seems like the port itself is dying. My old Galaxy S4 did that, and I had to replace the port. Luckily it was only a few dollars and about thirty minutes for a local shop to fix it for me.

Your USB port is dying. Take it to a local phone shop or do it yourself if you can. You can gets parts cheap on ebay
