   I listen to documentaries every night with the phone plugged in, but I   
   slept on it and now it only charges from a USB-A brick & not a USB-C one.   
      
   Apparently the center tongue inside the USB-C port bends or cracks.   
   But USB-C relies on a dense set of pins on that little internal paddle.   
      
   USB-C -> USB-C cables need all the pins to line up, because they negotiate   
   power and data.   
      
   USB-A -> USB-C cables only use a simpler subset of pins, so they can still   
   make contact even when the port is partially damaged.   
      
   On my phone, the charging port is on a separate inexpensive daughterboard.   
   Which I just ordered from Amazon Vine for free.  '   
      
   It should arrive in a few days.   
      
   It's not soldered to the main motherboard. It's just a clip in.   
   Apparently that's how most (all?) of the Galaxy A-series phones are made.   
      
   However, getting the phone apart and back together is the real issue.   
   Wireless charging might be a good idea for my next phone though... :)
