Comment on YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

Solid tools to have in any case. I wouldn’t buy a kit as I already have all that from other projects.

Just now got the USB port covers! Have a crappy light on my little .22, lost the cover immediately. Put on of those on and have hiked for miles, banged in around, wiped it off during general cleaning several times, still perfectly stuck. Little finicky getting it seated, well worth it for the perfect seal. $.86/ea. on eBay.

100% did the same thing on the charging port for my infrared scope after the rubber connecting it to the scope, snapped. $1,300 scope saved by a tiny rubber plug you prolly cant even buy one at a time anymore now that the penny is gone lol (not that you ever could just saying they could be more than a penny each to make.)

  I’m surprised the glue has held this long for such a cheapo product!
  
  So, what’s the scope? I got a couple of cheapies off Amazon and eBay, thought my cheapness was the problem. Posted on lemmy asking about options and it seems no matter the price, the FOV is going to suck, even for the $50,000 military models.
  
  Got some 9V-battery powered infrared strobes for cheap, to be used as trail markers. Super neat and super cheap! But I have to point directly at them to pick them up. All I want is a monocular I can walk around with.
