Phone Not Charging? Properly Clean Your iPhone or Samsung Charge Port

[@JohnLee-pt5jz]

Like the dude said if you not comfortable take it to your provider, that's what I would do, as I would screw it up.Iam hopeless with this sort of stuff, I need someone next to me to show me how to do it, after that I would be okay.

[@finisher3x]

It's 3 am in the damn morning. I'm a grown man. And I'm doing this because my phone has absolutely quit charging with none of my cords staying in. And sure enough, it seems like I got an inch worth of dirt in that port. Plug the cord back in, and it's tight as ever. God bless all of you who make these very easy troubleshooting videos for the world's simplest issues.

[@Chaching632]

Wow this worked perfectly. I went from taking 6 hours for a full charge to immediately going back to 1.5 hours for a full charge. Thank you!

[@Tay_Tay966]

Absolute lifesaver- the charger was going in but it wouldn’t charge and I figured it was broken but after cleaning it with some stuff I could find- works like brand new

[@stephanieshelton986]

Thank you! I would normally be scared to mess with my phone, but realized I have the same tweezers and following your steps did the trick! I really apricate how slow and calmly you explained everything.

[@oxymoron296]

Another tip; If you want to avoid getting the ports dirty or damaged from every day wear and tear, invest in dust plugs for the charging port and for your headphones jack if your phone has one.

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Ty!

[@williambelford9661]

I wonder why manufacturers stopped fitting those plugs as standard on phones.

[@missdorsie]

They also have phone cases with charging port and/or headphone protection plug attachments.

[@sunsparkle8443]

Thanks I''ll get some. Have a great day.

[@vegansonlyeatcarrots]

My phone stopped charging this morning and I have been trying to get it to work since then. I was ready to give up. I was heading to the store in the morning. Thought to look up videos and found yours. This was a saver. Thank you so much!!!

@Bentley Ward lol bruh if your charging port is full of gunk your cable will not make a connection there for it will not charge so resetting the phone will not work if your charging port is gunked up

Just tried this. Didn’t have any solution so just tried it without and out popped a piece of lint. Charger’s working fine now. Thank you so much. Saved me a visit to the phone shop 👏👏👏

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Awesome! You are very welcome

[@edwinsuperable1048]

I was looking for a video on how to replace a charging pin when I came across yours...thanks man, you saved me a lot of trouble and money....works like a charm, now charges like new.

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Awesome!

[@justinbruh1646]

Thank you. I was having issues with my daughters phone. I tried this and it worked!! Keep being awesome.

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Glad it helped!

[@Vj11293]

Mr Phone Doctor thanks for having this video made. I walked into a phone repair shop and told the guy I just wanted the port cleaned and he was talking about $35 at first to open my phone up and check for dust inside and the port. Then I asked so what about just the port and he said same fee. Glad I was not eager to have it done as you said most places would do it free of charge. I ended up following your steps but with Safety Pin and I have my port back. Thanks a lot!

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Yay!

[@Pet026]

I used interdental brush as it clean out in narrow locations. I used contact spray CRC 2-26. A contact spray praised by old timers. And compressed air. It worked nicely.

[@kevinparra8743]

Thnx for the video bro! just cleaned my oneplus 7 and its back on charging!

[@datuwallykamsa6750]

Hey bro thankyou so much for your tips im happy because my cable are already fit on may port❤

[@FlorentGodin]

First I was thinking "No, it will not work on my phone, I don't see much dust in my USB-C port". Then I saw the demo where you showed that your cable does not go fully inside the port, which was my case. So I tried to remove it with a toothpick in plastic, again and again and...it worked perfectly! Hidden dust removed and the cable can now go fully inside the USB-C port. A big thank you, you're a life saver!

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Awesome! Yw

[@pleasantgrove1280]

Happy AND Bummed out!!! I learned ALOT in this short video and since you got such an honest vibe i checked out your locations HOPINGGG you had a location in or around dallas but not just yet .. But THANK YOU i atleast got my sons charging port cleaned and phone charging on 3%! One prob down one to go, his screen needs to be replaced but i just dnt know where i should chance taking it ,any suggestions(or warnings LOL) in dallas?

Thanks! Watched a couple vids but yours with the alcohol finally did the trick

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Hey! Ty so much. Glad you got back up and running

[@barrycourtney951]

Thanks!!!! I was ready to trash my phone. Basically, the cable kept coming lose: Headphones, cable in car for navigation, charging. The headphones and navigation was exceptionally frustrating. Now it works great. I used a pin from a bulletin board, didn't use the alcohol, and sucked out the fuzz with a vacuum cleaner.

[@itslusion3488]

Great tutorial, tried this with my S9 today, I was thinking my charging port has gone bad. After trying ur fix, it's perfect now. Thanks a Lot

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

You're very welcome

[@disasterartiest671]

Thank you so much dude! You just got a new sub! You're a lifesaver! Surprisingly enough, there aren't many tutorials WITHOUT compressed air can and I was terrified of experimenting with something I have no knowledge of. My phone wasn't charging at full speed. It was only charging under 800Amp with low being 10Amp and highest being 720Amp. Now it has gone up to 3000Amp and beyond, like it used to. I used a toothpick (sliced half/thin) gently, along with a common pin and a toothbrush. For anyone who's going through the same; I also cleaned out my Type-C charging cable, which had surprisingly more debris than the port on my phone. I also cleaned the USB front of the cable and the adapter as well.

[@akshitgupta3061]

Fantastically awesome. I was thinking of getting the charging jack changed for oneplus. And this thing worked wonders. Mr. Doctor, you are awesome. ❤️ Though not that professional but used a slim pin to pull off the dirt from a type C port. Thank you very much, Kudos to you. Long way to go Doc.

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

Awesome yes anything tiny enought to fit should work with ease. Glad you got it working

[@FWild-eb1rd]

Awesome thanks for sharing. Can I use methylated spirit?

[@matthewmorales8798]

Big thanks man the Indian repair store in the mall wanted $150 to repair and replace the charging port so you saved me a bunch!

[@MrPhoneDoctor]

You are very welcome. They should have cleaned that out for you at no cost. Glad you waited.

[@squirrelattackspidy]

Used a small, flat jewelers screwdriver to scoop the lint out. Didn't need the alcohol. Charging just fine now. Thanks dude.

[@TheKazzarry]

Cheers mate this was a life saver, had done iso wipes and cleaned the usb c port with a tooth pick but using some pointy tweezers i was able to get the stuff suck on the side, now im back to fast charging and no more wired cable jiggling to get it charging.

Man you have to love the internet and people like you. For a week my battery charger been acting up. It wasn't connecting well and I thought I needed to replace it (it's a turbo charge). So I tried using an old one until then but I was having the same problem. I freaked out thinking it was an issue with my phone. But I decided to look up KZbin for possible solutions and this video came up first. And yep just ended up being a piece of lint. Works perfectly again. 😂 Thank you!

[@gordonnicol9542]

I have the same tweezers but the points were too thick to get in and scrape out the crud. Found another video where a toothpick was used to scrape out the fuzz. But, I found that even a toothpick too thick. So, used a sharp knife to cut slivers off the toothpick and make it really pointed sharp and that did it. Got all the grubby stuff outof the port and now have a nice snug fit.
