My old Nokia 3310 finally gave up the ghost yesterday after 18 years
I had it sitting in my glovebox as a backup phone, and when my daily phone died tuesday, I went to charge the Nokia and the battery port just cracked apart. The whole plastic casing is brittle and the charger barely makes contact anymore. Anyone know a decent repair shop in the Portland area that still works on these bricks?

Wait, you kept a phone from high school as a backup? That's wild honestly. I used to think people hanging onto old phones were just being stubborn about new tech, but my parents still have their old flip phones in the junk drawer and now I kinda get it. I dropped my smartphone yesterday and the screen cracked so bad I can't even type, and now I'm wishing I had something like that Nokia just sitting around. The fact that yours lasted 18 years is insane though, most phones can't even make it through an 18 month contract anymore.
