It is located right off 466a, hang a left two blocks down on left. Address 106 main st. He said port gets dirty from those like me who keep their phones in your pants pocket and then jam charger into port.
Amazon sells a pkg of port ‘plugs’ in various sizes & you check for lint before inserting the port plug. Similar to blocking outlets from children. You must remove the tiny port plug to use a charger other than the disk charger. Good luck.
