Troubleshooting

Charging Port Not Working? 9 Fixes Before Replacing

Updated 2025 • ~3–4 min read • iPhone, Samsung, Pixel

Quick Checks You Can Try

  • Test with a known-good cable & brick (look for frays/bends).
  • Power off and remove lint with a plastic pick or interdental brush—be gentle.
  • Try wireless charging if available; if it works, the issue is likely the port/sub-board.
  • Reboot the phone and check for software updates.
  • Inspect for moisture warning prompts; let it dry thoroughly before charging.

Avoid metal tools. Scraping can damage contacts or short pins. If the port shows corrosion, stop and schedule service.

Signs It’s Time for Repair

  • Only charges at an angle or with pressure on the plug.
  • Frequent disconnects, slow charging, or “Accessory not supported.”
  • Visible corrosion or bent pins inside the port.

What We Do On-Site

  • Diagnosis: Rule out cable/brick and battery health.
  • Deep clean: Remove compacted lint/debris; test charge rates.
  • Port/sub-board replacement: Many models (iPhone/Android) can be done on-site the same visit.
  • Final testing: Verify charging, data, mic/speaker if on same flex.

Prevention Tips

  • Avoid charging in pockets/bags where lint packs in.
  • Use quality cables; retire any with exposed metal or kink damage.
  • Consider wireless pads at desks/nightstands to reduce port wear.
