How to clean Charging Port on iPad and iPhone Correctly

[@spacedoutbabyy]

i never comment or like videos on youtube. and high key thought all these comments were bulls**t but holy thank jesus mother mary and god because you saved my life!!!! my ipad is old as hell and so much of my info (pictures specifically) i thought i would lose! IT WORKED. IT ACTUALLY DID! i might clean it once more tomorrow but literally was crying all night thinking i lost everything. saved me from replacing it, going to see apple support or geek squad and saved my tear ducts. im so thankful i found this video!!!! anyone reading comments, this is the real deal. so easy… maybe not so quick depending on how dirty the port and charger is… but oh my god it worked! thank you thank you thank yooooouuuuu!!!!!

[@DarkRoastRecording]

thanks! that makes me feel good inside. 😁 I am very glad that you were able to save it. Take care!

[@saltykremes8857]

Thanks for the tutorial mate, I struggled with charging my iPad and I woke up yesterday because of the fact that it kept disconnecting in a short period of time. Now it’s fixed!

[@BOB-id5qz]

[@andystark8023]

Ahhhh thank you this helped so much I’ve been struggling with charging my Ipad for weeks I thought the charging port was broken glad it wasn’t 😭😭

[@c.ovenant]

mine still dont work :(

[@thegreyladm8547]

@@c.ovenant I know I’m late but there’s most likely still dust. It took me several cleans before everything was snug in the port and charging. If you haven’t bought a new one yet take it to the Apple Store and they’ll clean it very well for you

Thank you ❤ It’s taking a while, but I really do think this is working. Every time I check, it’s a lot easier to charge! I think I’m only gonna have to clean lightly one more time and it’s gonna be fixed ❤ I really thought it was broken and I was gonna have to buy another iPad. This is the only video I can really say works! Thank you!

I got some salt and pepper in my iPad Pro 2018 charging place on the iPad I tried using a sewing needle but I still can’t charge it in the end? What should I do?

[@DarkRoastRecording]

You could try using a pipe cleaner, the bristles might dislodge the grains

[@larsonfamilyhouse]

Try holding a vacuum to it and maybe try duster too. You can use an anti-static brush or an unused brand new toothbrush

[@Laajawab_kitchen]

will try and let you know if it works

Hey thanks mate. Just bought myself a 2nd hand Bose sound and tried my old 30 pin iPod classic that hasn't worked or charged for years. Even to took the dock apart. Still nothing. Saw your vid, thinking if this doesn't work the full lot's getting binned. Hay presto got all my old tunes back with a nice sounds. Thanks again mate👍

[@officialWWM]

Thanks bro!

[@DarkRoastRecording]

[@LadenChannel]

In my case, a prong from a broken charging cable was still in jammed in the port. I dug it out with a tiny screwdriver and now we are up and running.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

thanks! that makes me feel good inside. 😁

[@katherinehoward1884]

I use a magnetic charger (the one that glows) and doesn't work, is there any way you can make a version of this except for people who use a magnetic charger like me?

[@katrinadoyle9635]

You’ve probably fixed it or gotten rid of it by now a month later LoL but just in case you’ve had no luck, try alcohol pads, like little square ones you can get in the pharmacy for cheap, use to wipe screen protector, greasy cases, and especially for the magnets, wipe smoothly once or twice both pieces where they connect, and also check the USB end of charger where it goes into wall use his tricks with the toothpick in the usb part where you put it in the box and also the box part and then plug it all in and see if that helps, worked on our school magnetic charger

[@apexhorizon4745]

I hope this well help because my iPad well only charge to 1 percent and when I looked in the charge port there’s a lot of brown and a little black

OMG IT WORKED 😯

[@DarkRoastRecording]

YES!!

[@DKKDOLLS]

Thank you. I was having to press anew cable to charge my IPad Air 3. The toothpick eliminated the problem. Now it again charges without pressure. The cable has not had time to get bad as it is new, but I bet the older one can be fixed, too.

[@zac.bolin01]

If your charger like goes vmmm vmmm vmmm and doesn't charge consistently... before you get a new charger clean out your charge port. I twist up 1 ply of a tissue and clean it out usually. And... yeah clean your charger too just kinda like lick the tissue and kinda like scrub the little charger thing.

[@zac.bolin01]

The reason for the tissue is that sometimes if you have your phone around while you're eating and Spill stuff on your phone it can get sticky.

[@knifeandtongue]

thank you

[@markkangas7774]

Wow! After talking to service people at Apple and another at Geek Squad, who stressed either just buy a new one or have it serviced, I used a .045" bass guitar string to clean my port. I got the battery logo now. It was totally unresponsive before. Update soon...

[@DarkRoastRecording]

careful with that bass string, the metal may scratch too much. I used a toothpick cause the wood wont easily damage the metal contacts inside the port.

[@ljader1]

I’ve got dirt in the cylinder I mean the place where you like put the charger in

[@andreakeown-dinsmore4809]

[@kallykat]

I had the tip of my lightning cord break off inside charging port how can I fix it or get it out so I can use it

[@DarkRoastRecording]

that may need a technicians hired to remove it. that way they are insured against damage

[@dianneallen583]

Can you blow the dust out gently?

[@AlqhemyA]

Would the lead from a mechanical pencil work in absence of a wooden toothpick?

[@valerievoigt]

No, it would deposit graphite on the contacts and make the problem worse.

[@DarkRoastRecording]

do not use a pencil tip to clean, use a toothpick. its sturdy enough to get deposits out, but soft enough not to damage the metal contacts. Only use the ERASER of the pencil, (or any other eraser) to clean the cable contacts, not the inside of the ipad/iphone

[@queenqueen7755]

you just gotta go to apple or go on the website and get a new charger dats wat i did the ones from walmart are a rip off

[@DarkRoastRecording]

I would contact Apple support for that as it should still be under warranty, if not, you may need to check out iPad troubleshooting videos, this isn't really that kind of channel. sorry :(

oh i say you have to stretch the cord and. put it on the tip of a computer or watch this vid to help
