Couldn't move a muscle.

I walked into the nest of this Elektronik boa constrictor looking for a working charger.

Yeah, I'd accumulated that many.

Over time, I'd buy one.

It break, I get another.

Now All I can do is regret every poor choice I've made and wonder what I could have done Better.

Look, there I am ripping the charger out of the phone instead of holding it by the plug and carefully taking it out of the court.

And there it goes, all crumbled up into my pocket.

And it's the when I keep my keys in.

Perfect.

They're just gonna rub up on the cord and wear it down.

That's not even the worst thing I did, but more on that later, Before I get into anything, I know what you're thinking.

Just charge wirelessly.

But you know, you can't use that all the time.

Plus, they could make your phone hot.

Okay.

Where was I?

Yes, by just one cable.

You don't need a vast collection anymore, but consider getting a cable protector with it.

They come in all shapes and sizes.

Fancy things attached to the joint near the plug.

This is the most delicate part of the cable.

The simplest form of protector looks like a spiral going around the wire.

And, yes, it seems familiar.

Just like a spring, and you can make a basic cable protecting yourself.

Just take the spring out of a clicking pan and wrap it around the cable near the plug.

This will prevent the court from bending in this most vulnerable part Now if a spring isn't your style, use a shoe lace and weave it around the ends of your charger.

It may look kind of bulky, but it works.

You can also wrap the ends of the cable with simple electric tape.

If you don't care about looks too much.

Otherwise, you can go full craft mode and wrap the whole wire with embroidery flaws.

This will emulate the type of store bought cable that's more protected and reinforced.

They're covered in synthetic material and usually sturdier than D I Y Y.

But they're not is customizable and cool looking.

If you want a cheap, nice looking and easy to use method, try heat shrinking tubes.

Their name says it all.

Put the cable inside a tube of your favorite color.

Give it a blast of hot air from a blow dryer and watch it shrink.

It'll tightly seal all the wire and making much sturdier and brighter.

Now remember how I was always yanking my cord out of the phone?

You can prevent that by, well, not doing that in the first place.

Or get yourself a magnet adapter these air little nozzles for your cable.

Just plug it in the magnet adapter and then plug the adapter into the Charger port on your device.

It will also help maintain a more stable connection.

If your charger cable is already fraying, you can use electrical tape to fix it.

But it's not the only solution.

Try a special adhesive putty.

It's like a Plato used in electron ICS Onley.

It sets itself after being shaped.

Stick it in the thorn part of the cable, wrap it around, shape it nice and smooth and wait for it to heart.

Another handy remedy is liquid.

Tape is an adhesive fluid that turns into a rubber like consistency after drying.

It'll still be quite flexible after that, so consider using some of the other methods of cable reinforcement.

I told you about.

For example, you can place a spring on a broken part of the court and then apply liquid.

It'll help hold the spring in place and double up that protection.

But if you're like me, you've had cable.

Stop working and have no idea why they're not broken.

Afraid they just don't charge your phone.

The problem may be in the port itself.

Get yourself a can of compressed air like the winds.

They make the clean keyboards and blow the air into the Charger port to get rid of any dust or debris that may be preventing a proper connection.

And whatever you do, don't stick anything metal into the pork.

I tried to clean mind with a fork, and it short circuited my phone, turning in into nothing more than an overpriced Breck.

And it still wasn't my biggest mistake, though, or it could be your smartphone software to blame.

It's what controls the whole charging process and can malfunction from time to time.

Try a hard reset on your phone by holding the screen blocking button on the side for a while, or the home button and a side button.

If you use older models, it could help with faulty charging software.

Now, how about that waterfall of courts hanging from your desk and getting all tangled with each other when you have several devices charging once get it organized.

You can use binder clips toe hold each cable in place on the edge of your desk.

There you go there all in one place, easily accessible at all times and won't get worn down by twisting and turning.

Okay, that's for when you're chilling at home.

What about when you're on the go?

Well, don't shove your charger into your pocket or throw it nonchalantly into your bag, looping around in circles and carefully put the plugs inside the spiral again.

The idea is to prevent bending, and the worst thing you could do is exposure.

Cable to the coal chargers often break in the winter because low temperatures make the cable harder and less flexible.

One wrong bend and snap your out yet another chord.

Now all that being said, I think you can help me out of this thing.

My leg fell asleep.
