Charging port repair

When you have to hold the cable at exactly the right angle, the port is worn or full of pocket lint. Both are fixable, and one of them is nearly free.

What this covers

  • Cable falls out or needs propping
  • Charges only in one orientation
  • Very slow charging
  • Not recognised by a computer
  • Bent or damaged pins
  • Lint and debris packed into the port

Check the free explanation first

A surprising number of dead charging ports are simply full of pocket lint, which behaves exactly like a broken port. We check and clear this first — if that is all it is, there is no repair to pay for.

When it is the port, and when it is the board

Worn contacts inside the port are a straightforward swap. The same symptoms can also come from the charging circuit on the logic board, often after a cheap car charger. We test to find out which one you have.

Questions people ask about this repair

Is it worth fixing the port if wireless charging still works?

Usually yes — without a working port you cannot do a wired data transfer or fast charge, and it is one of the cheaper repairs.

Can you clean the port without replacing it?

Often yes, and that is where we start.
