Is it really the port? Try this first

  1. Try another cable and another charger.

    Cables fail more often than ports.

  2. Look in the port with a light.

    Pocket lint packs in hard and blocks the cable. Don't poke it with metal.

  3. Still nothing? Bring it in.

    We check the port, the cable and the battery for free.

Good to know

A phone that won't charge is usually one of four things. A bad cable or charger, lint in the port, a worn port, or a tired battery. We check all four for free.

A cleaning is quick. A new port takes longer, because we open the device. Often same day. We tell you the wait with your free quote.

Got a "liquid detected" message? Don't charge it. Read about water damage first.

Charging port questions

Why won't my phone charge?

It is usually one of four things. A bad cable or charger, lint packed in the port, a worn port, or a tired battery. We check all four for free.

Can you just clean my charging port?

Often, yes. Pocket lint packs in hard and blocks the cable. We clean it out and test it. If that fixes it, you do not need a new port.

Is it the port or the battery?

A loose cable points to the port. A phone that charges but dies fast points to the battery. We test both and tell you which one it is.

Do you fix Switch and controller charging ports?

Yes. We work on Nintendo Switch and game controller ports too. Bring the dock or charger so we can test it.

My charger works on other phones. Is it still the cable?

Maybe not. A cable can work on one phone and not on yours. Still, a port full of lint acts the same way. We test both, so you know which one to replace.

Can I use wireless charging until the port is fixed?

Yes, if your phone has it. Wireless charging skips the port, so it keeps the phone alive until you come in. It is slower, and it does not fix the port.
