Thanks, I have a oneplus 7T and I have been cleaning it. It's just very loose now. Been scraping the harder to clean parts with a toothpick, and the rest with a toothbrush. It just isn't working for me. Might have to try a needle now.

If the 7T is constructed anything like the 5T then replacing the USB port is an inexpensive and relatively easy weekend project. You just undo a couple of T5 screws, pop off the back, undo a couple more screws and replace the assembly. The hard part is not losing the screws.

Considering software support period is over I don't think it's worth the hassle of getting the back off. The oneplus security update period is also abysmal.

I looked up how to get the back off.

Also a reason I'm contemplating the fairphone 5. Just pull off the back and a few screws later it's pretty much done. I don't want to mess with a heat gun to open up my phone.
