If you find that your charging port isn’t working very well and your phone isn’t charging as usual, there is a chance that the internal components are dirty or dusty, or they’re blocking the connection of the charging cable with the phone. In this case, you can try the following steps and see if the problem gets solved:
- Use a can of compressed air to remove debris from inside the port. However, if you suspect that the erratic connection is due to a dirt or dust issue, further and deeper cleaning of the components might be required in a service station
- If you have a removable battery inside your smartphone, you can use rubbing alcohol to clean inside the port very carefully. Make sure to use a lint-free cloth so that you don’t contribute to the dust inside the port
- While charging issues usually arise from a charging port malfunction, there is also sometimes a chance that you’re using the wrong charger. It is always better to use the charger that came with the device and avoid third-party products. This is because third-party cables and plugs might not always fulfil the requirements of your device even though they technically fit the charging port
