Don't you have to replace the device if it's USB C because the compliant mechanism is in the port, not the cable?

Lint gets stuck in the base, so the cord will not properly seat. I've found that dental floss picks get in there great, and are non conductive.

It could just be build up in the port. Throwing some sticky tack in there a bunch of times to pull out all the debris has "fixed" multiple devices for me.
