Know before you pay
Most charging failures come down to one of these six problems — all of which we fix same day.
Pocket lint is the #1 cause of charging problems. It packs into the port and stops the cable from making contact. A professional cleaning usually solves it in minutes.
If your cable wobbles or only charges at an angle, the port connector has worn down or bent. Port replacement restores a firm, reliable connection.
Water corrodes the port's metal pins. If your phone got wet and stopped charging, bring it in immediately. See our water damage repair page.
Plugging in at an angle or using too much force bends the connector pins inside the port. Bent pins cause intermittent charging and eventually a complete failure.
In rare cases a software glitch or a failing power management chip is the root cause. Our diagnostics can tell the difference between a port problem and a board-level issue.
Sometimes what looks like a charging port issue is actually a dead battery that refuses to accept a charge. We can test both and only replace what's actually broken.
Catch it early — a loose port that goes ignored can damage your cable, battery, and eventually the phone's board.
Cable keeps falling out or won't click in firmly
Phone only charges when held at a certain angle
Charging stops and starts randomly

Port looks visibly dirty, bent, or corroded
Multiple cables have failed to charge the phone
Try a different certified cable to rule out a bad cable
Shine a flashlight into the port and look for lint buildup
Try a soft reboot — rarely fixes hardware but rules out software
Do NOT stick toothpicks or sharp objects inside the port
Do NOT blow air forcefully into the port
Do NOT charge a water-damaged phone — it can short the board

Yes. We handle ports damaged by water or liquid exposure. Bring it in immediately — do not try to charge a wet phone. The sooner we inspect it, the better the outcome.
