I believe the latch re-seats once you are done yanking, you gotta do a reach-around and pull the charger cord out while you're yanking the release.....

My life experience has also taught me that when in doubt, a reach around followed by a good yank is often the most effective course of action.

That's why I mentioned it. Your experience, that is.

Most people still growing up in their late teens. Then they start growing down.

My adapter got stuck the 1st time I tried using it. I remember on some forum, they suggested pushing in, then pulling out. I tried that and it worked.

I may or may not have a 13 year old humor....

I didn't want to be the first to say it, but THIS! Manual releases, yanking, tight fits, wiggling it out, and reach-arounds

I lost it at "The port has loosened up with more use"

they suggested pushing in, then pulling out. I tried that and it worked.

This has also worked for me in life so far.

Is that a NACS adaptor in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

You gotta have the right timing between pulling it out and the latch release though.

The pull-out method is risky behavior

If you have a pencil laying around, you could try scribbling on the outer rim of the charge cable. It will act like lube for the port hole for future use.

In the male brain, the sense of humor stops developing at age 14. Therefore, whatever was funny at 14 will remain funny for the rest of your life.

How big should the pencil be?

How big should the pencil be?

Big enough to satisfy the needs as to not get stuck. Mechanical pencils and comically large pencils need not apply.
