USB CHARGING PORT ISSUE
When searching on the internet regarding this issue, we noticed that this is a common problem for Nokia phone. Most issue are focused on the charging problem due to the non-fitted size of usb port. This issue will cause some excessive play on the usb cable when connecting to USB port, which might lead to damage the USB on the usb pin connector.
Once the damage happened to the usb port connector, it cannot be reversed anymore and replacement boards are required. This is what happened to our Nokia 5.4.
If your Nokia phone still working, still able to charge, then please take extra careful measures to prevent this issue to happen to your phone. Please find the temporary solution on the internet.
