I’ve never thought of myself as a tech savvy person so I was very excited when I was able to fix my phone myself.

When I got divorced I joined some divorce groups on Facebook and a common theme that came up was that women were nervous to mow their own lawns, because their husbands had always done it. I didn’t have that problem. The equivalent for me was that my ex wife was the one who generally dealt with technology.

But a few weeks ago I set up my own printer! It was mostly straightforward but took some trouble shooting.

And then a couple days ago I fixed my phone! Also took some trouble shooting, but luckily ended up being a simple fix.

Here’s the youtube that eventually solved my problem:

It would charge a little bit sometimes, but I would have to figure out the exact right position to put the charge cord. Sometimes it would only charge if I was holding the cord in place which was obnoxious.
