Charger port not working? This tip could help!



How to fix a charger port which won’t connect using a simple cleaning method.

If you are having issues with your lightning, micro-USB or USB-C charger port where it won’t charge, or it keeps connecting and disconnecting, then cleaning the lint and dirt out with a toothpick might help you fix this problem.

In this video, I fix my iPhone 6S by clearing out a surprising amount of dirt and dust from the charger port.

Note – take care when using this or any other cleaning method. Do not use liquid or anything metallic.

  1. Yesterday night I watched your video after my iPhone 11 charging place frustrated me for several months! Before I watched your video, I went to a nearby phone repairing shop and the owner told me that I need to pay 99€ to fix the problem! But I refused and came back home and watched your video suddenly! Then in the morning, I told my wife about it. Initially she didn’t believe me but then we cleaned the port with a needle gently! The amount of sponge type trash that was removed from the port was shocking! I wish if I could attach the picture here! After we cleaned everything and removed all the trashes, we charged my dying phone! Everything works perfectly and I am super happy now! My wife is still in disbelief! Thank you sir for saving us from another disaster of paying to repair the phone or buying a new one 😅😅😅

  2. This worked for a set of airpod pro that I had given up on and replaced two years ago. Used the toothpick and there was what looks like a wood chip in the port. We were clearing our land around that time so that makes sense. Now I have two working sets. Thank you!

  3. I hate the lightning charger, it sucks! I’ve never had issues with anything else, hundreds of items. I used toothpicks and dental picks and contact cleaner and it’s still jacked up! Pisses me off, I’m glad iPhone has now gone usb, unfortunately I only by used iPhones so won’t see one of those for a few years. People are crazy to spend 1,500, that’s the cost of a cheap car!
