Struggling to Charge? Here’s What Might Be Wrong
Is your phone refusing to charge? Whether you use an iPhone, Samsung, or MacBook, a faulty charging port could be the issue. In this guide, we’ll cover the most common charging problems and how to fix them.
Common Reasons Your Phone Won’t Charge
1. Debris in the Charging Port
Over time, lint, dust, and dirt can block the charging port, preventing a proper connection.
Fix:
- Use a toothpick, compressed air, or a soft brush to clean the port carefully.

A frayed or broken cable is a common reason why your phone won’t charge.
Fix:
- Try using a different USB cable and adapter.
- Opt for original or certified accessories for reliable performance.
3. Loose or Broken Charging Port
If the charging cable feels loose in the port, it may be damaged or worn out.
Fix:
- Gently adjust the cable to see if it connects.
