How to fix USB port cover on LEDs
Hi guys, I bought a two pack of battery powered camping LEDs that are self contained. My 8 yo opened the charge port cover then pulled it out. 😑 I’ve tried using a straightened paper clip, tweezers, and other pokey things. I’ve tried to push and twist it back into place and just can’t quite get it back into place.
Any suggestions? TIA!
UPDATE: I fixed it! I put it in the freezer to see if it would firm up but it didn’t in any useful way. But that reminded me that I have a can of “topical cold spray”. So using needle nose pliers I froze the end and jammed and twisted it into the hole. It only partially made it in so I used a paper clip to gently push the rest of it in. And it’s back to its mostly original condition. Thanks Reddit!
