At what point do you bother to replace your faulty ’phone charger?

[Redway]

Do you keep trying it in the most awkward positions until it really-and-truly packs up or do you replace it as soon as it starts charging slower than normal?

Straight away...don’t want to die prematurely :worry:

We’ve got so many phones and gadgets between the four of us there are usb-c and apple lightning cables coming out of our ears so it’s never really an issue. I find they don’t break as often these days anyway - MicroUSB from a couple of generations back was an absolute nightmare though. Practically had new cables coming from Amazon on monthly subscription.

I'm a wrap it round, angle it and prop it up kind of girl.....wouldn't mind but I have loads dotted about the house but the one in the kitchen (which I use the most) is useless....it takes ages to find the sweet spot where it charges but I insist on having the daily battle :laugh:

As soon as they start to fail or fray I chuck them out .

That said we get replacements from one of the pound shops - they last a few months at least .

I use wireless now but my old chargers did not break because I am super careful inserting and using them - end of.

Always have spares anyhow.

When it is faulty

[Josy]

I've never had a faulty charger and up until last year had never had a scratched or smashed phone etc but I dropped my old phone and it damaged the screen slightly I was raging [emoji23]

You were raging your phone was ringing this rap over

I've broken every smartphone I've ever had :fist: I'm currently using an iPhone XS with a big crack across the screen.

I've had one that I didn't break actually, my Galaxy S7, but it ended up with horrendous screen burn. My daughter's S9 went the same way. I reckon it's a Samsung problem.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i genuinely could not use a phone unless it was undamaged in every way

the thought of using a cracked one...D:

I just replaced the screen on my Samsung. Not too difficult a repair, now it's good as new.

When it stops charging I replace the cable rather than the charger and that usually fixes it.
