I have a friend that went through 3 remarkables due to failures, I didnt dig into the root cause but I suspect you might be right on the USB-C port since they all "stopped charging".

They also have the USB C charging quirk/cheap-out that if they're completely drained they will only charge with a low powered trickle charger until the device gets to some minimal level of charge, and then you can use a higher power source.

It is TERRIBLE IDIOTIC INANE design: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eu4P8fnaNtV9vhMo7

the video in there, via microscope, you can see how the contacts peeled off. Larger photos show the PCB and how the connector is "affixed". Final photo is after it was fixed, but before the epoxy

		Hilarious. Especially compared to the USB-C connector on an iPhone, which is secured by 6 (!!!) screws to the frame.
