When charging ports go bad(throwback thursday)

As you all know last year I got the Galaxy Note one, a phone I love dearly(of course a few months after I got it the Galaxy note II dropped but that Motorola backflip was killing me), for work. The phone works great, everything I need to do for work I can do(granted when the Galaxy Note 3 comes out you will see a new hotness post) and have even shown my boss the beauty of doing more on the cloud using the phone(since he has one too). As an admission of jealousy Eikichi recently left the cult of Blackberry for a Galaxy Note 2 and he loves it so getting the three is a SLIGHT imperative since he can not have the faster phone. This is not to say that everything is hunky dory, most likely because of how I yank the thing off the charger, as well as beat up the cords the charging port is not working so well. I can get it to work but it requires a bit of ingenuity
