I've been using a wireless charger for almost a year because I thought my charging port was toast. Ordered a new phone and realized I need to backup the 200+ GB of photos etc from my "broken" phone. I somehow stumbled upon your video and my broken phone is now fixed. All my photos are being backed up as we speak. Cant thank you enough, so simple, but worked perfectly.
Just cancelled my $600+ order on a new phone because I thought mine was at the end of its life... Thank you so much! I started picking at the port with toothpicks before watching this video as a last ditch effort to see if it world work but felt like I was just grasping at straws. But then I watched this and it gave me the motivation to keep at it for a few more minutes and after a while it worked! The port even makes the nice little *click* noise when plugged in which I haven't heard in months. Again thank you sooo much!
I almost took my phone to the repair store because I thought my charger port was broken. Then I found this video! You saved me money, time, and a lot of energy. Thank you so much!
Thanks a ton for this dude. I've been sitting with this problem for years and it never occurred to me, that it could have been a bit of dirt that needed to be simply cleaned out. I honestly thought they were designed to intentionally break or become faulty after a set period of time, - regardless of how well you take care of your phone - so that it forces you to buy a new one. I could have saved so much in the past if I knew this beforehand.
Hahaha, this really works! I spent the entire day worrying about why my lightning port wasn't connecting as it used to. I began to wonder if my charging port might be damaged, or if it was simply the fact that I've been using this iPhone for three years, and its components might be showing signs of wear and tear. So, off to the supermarket I went, where I purchased a rather pricey wireless charger. To my dismay, the Chinese wireless charger, despite being touted as "fast," only managed to charge my iPhone up to 59% in four hours. Later that night, curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to seek guidance from online tutorials on how to clean the charging port. Lo and behold, I Came across this video which held the solution. Following the instructions, I replicated what was suggested, and now, my charging port is back to its former glory. The culprit? A tiny piece of my jeans had somehow managed to find its way inside the charging port, causing all the fuss.😂📱👖
Thank you so much! You saved my life, because my mother was probably gonna beat my ass because this iPhone was gifted to me by my stepsister, because she got a newer one. I thought it was almost broken at first, but I remembered that I went to the beach, dropped my phone a couple times and more things, so I cleaned out the port. It worked! I'm so relieved, because I was battling this charger for HOURS! Youre a life saver man! Thanks so much!!
not to be an asshole or anything but yt doesn't work like that but it reccomends vds depending on popular vids or related to the content ur watching so if you keep watching vids like this it gets reccomended
@@dogeraid5937 Yeah, the algorithm & everything, we know. But, when they do have to throw some random ones in due to new accts. or few videos ever watched, etc. they'll throw in nothing useful, that I've ever known of . . .
Thanks! I tried this on my phone which recently started doing exactly what you described. After using one toothpick to get a bunch of little lint bits out my charger cable connects securely and works!
You have just saved me from having to get go to a repair shop or get a new phone, so simple but worked a treat, my phone is 6 years old and still going strong thanks to your fix, awesome. Thankyou
Omg thank you so much!!!! I changed like 5 chargers and nothing was working . I thought my charger pot is broken and i literally started CRYING because my parents cant afford me a new one . Now all the chargers are working thank you thank youuuuu
This does actually work! No visible debris came out of my phone but I brushed along metal connectors and phone has started charging again. I didn't have a toothpick so improvised with a wooden skewer and it seems to have worked. up to 18%, fingers crossed this sorts it! Thank you Pete!
This is amazing! I was about to bring my phone to a repair shop, then found this video. I couldn’t charge my phone/put in head phones without it buzzing on and off. Grabbed a dental stick and pulled out a massive lint ball. I’m am writing the review while charging my phone with no issues. Thank you !!
100% worked for me. Thank you! I used both a plastic toothpick that has a 45 degree end and a wood toothpick. The plastic pick got further in and cleaned better. The wooden pick grabbed material better for removal.
My iPhoneXR took an unfortunate bath in the washing machine my mistake. Fortunately the phone is water proof and I was thrilled it was working after the washing ordeal. Next morning tried to use the lightening charger.....and it would slide in all the way and would not charge...took a needle just to feel around....nothing....blew with compressed air and then a hair dryer..no luck....my thinking was off to the Apple store for an all day ordeal....OH KNOW!...then saw your UA-cam post....I got out the toothpicks...moved them as directed in the portal...low and behold....it worked....now it can charge....thank you so much for posting this simple fix to avoid the long time consuming and expensive Apple store line...thanks again...
Yep, I thought my phone was broken. I've had many iphones and have cleaned my share of lint but for some reason did not think of this. The toothpick got some out but I ended up using a needle/hat pin and got a lot more out. At first, with the toothpick, I thought "that's not enough to have made a difference." But when I used the needle and started pulling out bigger clumps I knew that my problem was fixed before I even tested it. Thanks Pete!
I just discovered this channel today, I totally thought I had to have my charging port replaced, low and behold, my phone is charging just fine. This video was informative and saved me time and money. Thank you.
Thank you soooooo much. My phone wasn’t charging at all. I tried my cousin’s charger and it didn’t work and then I tried my friend’s charger and I had to twist it for it to work. I was just about to bring it in for repair tmr and then that’s when God made me see this video. I used the tooth pick and couldn’t believe the amount of stuff that came out. Well I have had this phone for like 2 plus years so there was ALOT of build up in their. My phone has been having shortages for the past year and it just got worse and worse until it stopped charging but after doing this my phone is charging like it’s new. My charging port was really slack but now it is as tight as a new phone’s charging port. I recommend trying this if you are thinking about buying a new charging port.
Brother, you're a lifesaver, I was ready to buy a new phone. Who knows how many of my old phones just needed a good cleaning? Thank you so much. This was absolutely helpful.
Phone wasn’t charging anymore. Decided to try this out before buying a new phone. And man I had sooo much cotton jammed in the charging port. Phone charges without wiggling the charger!! Appreciate you man!! 🤝
Thanks for sharing! My sons phone hasn’t charged for months. We used the kind you lay your phone on to get it to charge. His friend told him about trying a toothpick so we searched UA-cam and found your video. This trick worked great!
I’m an automotive technician so my phone tends to get dirty, lol occasionally I’ll clean my port out with compressed air and a pic, never got good results until now, a simple tooth pic go figure. Thanks! Saved me lots of time from having to go to the Apple store.
This tip "did" help! Thank you so much for this. I bought a wireless charger and finally decided I needed to go to the apple store for a repair. I saw this and in the morning at my local coffee shop I grabbed a toothpick and cleaned while I sipped coffee. came home plugged in the charger, SUCCESS. thank you sir.
Perfect!! I almost took my phone to a repair shop, as it will NOT charge via the charger port. However, after cleaning the port, now it can work perfectly. Thank you!!
So my phone does charges slow, I mean 4hrs only 12% what could be an issue! am tired and this is bad timing to start looking for a new phone the economy isn't doing for me
Very useful method at last. I was struggling for 30 minutes because of the charger not connecting to my phone properly, and than this video came up. thanks!
Such an absolute life saviour! My charger has been loosing every day & I always had to tilt it to the right to actually get it to work which was stressful, I was gonna ask my dad for a new charging port as my birthdays coming up but I just thought I’d do some research. Thank you so much! Literally feels brand new.
Thanks so much!!!!! My phone battery was down to 1% , wouldn't charge up..... I was willing to go out and spend a lot of money to fix it, except that it's after midnight, and tomorrow is Sunday.... Really didn't expect this to work, but it did. Very grateful to you. One thing I'd add - at the end, I gave the phone a few hard taps with the port end pointing downwards, and a bit more stuff came out. Oh - and watch out for some toothpicks having splintery ends. The ones I had to hand are obviously poor quality compared to the ones you're using.
Super helpful. I couldn’t believe how much lint was in there. It was driving me crazy because my headphones plug in through the usb-C port and they kept cutting out every time I even slightly bumped the phone in my pocket. It wasn’t until I noticed issues with the chargers too that I realized the problem might be the port. Not the headphones.
I REALLY sincerely want to thank you so so very much🖤My phone is old,cracked BUT I neither can afford the extra expense or want to get a new one..I have so much on here! I didn't have a toothpick( but I removed my battery first)and used a tack and it FIXED IT.. Thank you for putting this out there, I simply thought it was shot and I was very upset. I'm used to keeping even my shoes years..and years Lol now I have a bit more time 😊AWESOME EDUCATIONAL VIDEO❤❤
Thank you, this fixed my problem. I did move to an outlet that was switched off after cleaning, which lead to some fear and frustration, but it was working again as soon as it was active. Great solution!
You have literally save me headaches, money and time!!!!! Thank you for your informative video!! My phone charging port no longer accepted the charger cable. I keep my phone in my pocket while at work and didn't realize lint can get into the port. I followed your demonstration video and the amount of lint that I got out of the port was shocking to my eyes. Now, thanks to you, everything works great. You are wonderful!!!
Highly recommend this guy, I did what he did because my charger was not working, with in 3 minutes my charger is now charging my phone! Thank you @Pete Johns
Most Useful UA-cam video in my entire life(till now). There was only 1% charge, started watching this video, just saw nearly 1minute:4 second, before my my phone went to sleep..but that one minute portion helped me to put a comment in this video after charging.Thank You So Much.
Your video is much appreciated! Omg. I was planning on paying 70 bucks to replace my charger port. Came across this video but didn't have a toothpick at the time.. but still resorted to my 3 year old nephew stripping the port trying to plug it in the charger. A few days later I visted my best friend and she had some toothpicks laying around and gave this a try with an air duster as well - and it fixed the problem. I made sure I came back and found your video again to send my many thanks to you for posting this. Much appreciated! Thank you for sharing 💛‼️
Thank you so much!! This was so helpful. My charger port wasn’t working right and it wouldn’t take my charger or headphones. After I cleaned my charger port for about 5 minutes my headphones and charger responded correctly to my phone!!
Yesterday night I watched your video after my iPhone 11 charging place frustrated me for several months! Before I watched your video, I went to a nearby phone repairing shop and the owner told me that I need to pay 99€ to fix the problem! But I refused and came back home and watched your video suddenly! Then in the morning, I told my wife about it. Initially she didn’t believe me but then we cleaned the port with a needle gently! The amount of sponge type trash that was removed from the port was shocking! I wish if I could attach the picture here! After we cleaned everything and removed all the trashes, we charged my dying phone! Everything works perfectly and I am super happy now! My wife is still in disbelief! Thank you sir for saving us from another disaster of paying to repair the phone or buying a new one 😅😅😅
I had tried this before, but I was afraid to damage the port, but this video showed me that I am allowed to use a softer thing like a toothpick along with a little more force to clean. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thought I was going to have to pay for repair or buy a new phone. But I tried this and it totally worked. Couldn't believe the amount of lint in there. Thanks so much.
You really are a life saver. My charger isn't working and was about to go to the repairs, while waiting for my cousin i just google it with my mom's phone and this video really save my time and money. Thank you. 😍😍
OMG this video is a life saver. My 6 yr old son had my phone playing games and then it wouldn't charge anymore. I even went and bought a charging pad {which didn't work}. So i decided to see if i could fix myself and came across this video and now my phone is back to charging. Never would have thought of just cleaning the charge port. Thank you!!
I didn’t know what to do with my iPhone 12 charger port. It wasn’t working. Cleaned out the port like he said and now it is working! Did not have to pay any money to fix. Thanks for the advice. Deeply appreciate it. Thank you so much! 😀
Not gonna lie, I was initially a little pissed off when I saw an almost insultingly simple fix for this charging issue, but I wound up digging a MASSIVE amount of dirt and lint out of my phone's charging port. Like, it dwarfed the pile of stuff in this video. My phone is charging instantly now whenever I hook it up! This is seriously such a relief. I would spend so long trying to hook my phone up each night, constantly plugging and unplugging, and trying to find that one position where my phone would take a charge. No more of that!
Great feedback. And I hear you about the video being borderline insulting. I nearly didn’t make it for that reason, but kept talking to people who were having these issues and it became clear that very few folks realised it was likely just crud in the socket.
My iphone X was dead since 9,10 month so I was really sad and bought new iphone 8 plus and after watching your video I tried it for 5 mins, And you know what it worked😊 Thanks a lot❤😊
Your advice was so clear and simple and guess what - it worked! I was considering replacing the iPhone, that is no longer necessary. Many, many thanks!
"Just grab, 1 toothpick. We shouldn't need more than 2 to get this done." Uses 4 of them lol Also, thanks it was useful and it's charging faster than i expected
My phone’s power cord would go off if I touched it. Concerned, I checked UA-cam and caught this video. I didn’t think that this work. I thought that perhaps the connection got bent. But i tried it anyway. I didn’t have a toothpick, but i did have a plastic dental pick. I followed instructions, but did not think that I grabbed anything. At least, anything I could see with the naked eye. Well, . . . IT WORKED! , L O L I can’t believe it, but now the cord can be pushed and pulled, but it still charges. 🙏🏼 thank you!
Awesome sauce! So glad it was able to help. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
You saved my day!! My 6 year old 5s is having the same problem. I was thinking of upgrading it and then tried your hack before giving up. It’s working now 😄😄Thanks a lot 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you! Thought my phone was knackered, bought some toothpicks after watching this video and I was amazed at the amount of gunk that came out… and now it charges again!
Dude you are a Life Saver My Phone was Charging But Instead of Increasing it was decreasing and it was buzzing too and I checked the port and it was very dirty and I tried your technique and now it's doesn't decrease
Pete makes hundreds of insightful GarageBand videos, teaching & helping many. Same Pete gets over a million views teaching people to wield a toothpick. Go figure… 😄. Fair play to ya!
I guess folks only look for this sort of repair in times of desperation. I did, and was I glad I found it. I hoiked out gobs of lint and other stuff that was clearly (in hindsight) stopping my charging lead from entering the port. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
My charger wouldn't go all the way in. I figured some part of my charger would be stuck in the port. However it wasn't broken. I was skeptical this would work. I was already searching for a new phone! But I gave this a shot and I'm happy it worked. Thank you so much!
This did help my phone to charge better, I used a little alcohol on the tip of the toothpick and cleaned both the port and charger pins (try at your own risk). I still have to hold the connection still though or it will lose contact. Thanks
This worked for a set of airpod pro that I had given up on and replaced two years ago. Used the toothpick and there was what looks like a wood chip in the port. We were clearing our land around that time so that makes sense. Now I have two working sets. Thank you!
Guys full tip and a lesson: never play with your phone while charging... and make sure your cord is straight and not bend while u charge it (and put airplane mode for fast charging)
Have to say been having this problem for about a month now . Don’t know why I haven’t decided to look it up but this actually works. Thank you so much my dude appreciate the vid!!!!

Such an absolute life saviour! My charger has been loosing every day & I always had to tilt it to the right to actually get it to work which was stressful, I was gonna ask my dad for a new charging port as my birthdays coming up but I just thought I’d do some research. Thank you so much! Literally feels brand new.

Dude I love you so much
Thanks so much!!!!! My phone battery was down to 1% , wouldn't charge up..... I was willing to go out and spend a lot of money to fix it, except that it's after midnight, and tomorrow is Sunday.... Really didn't expect this to work, but it did. Very grateful to you. One thing I'd add - at the end, I gave the phone a few hard taps with the port end pointing downwards, and a bit more stuff came out. Oh - and watch out for some toothpicks having splintery ends. The ones I had to hand are obviously poor quality compared to the ones you're using.
👍😎
Super helpful. I couldn’t believe how much lint was in there. It was driving me crazy because my headphones plug in through the usb-C port and they kept cutting out every time I even slightly bumped the phone in my pocket. It wasn’t until I noticed issues with the chargers too that I realized the problem might be the port. Not the headphones.
😎🤘
I REALLY sincerely want to thank you so so very much🖤My phone is old,cracked BUT I neither can afford the extra expense or want to get a new one..I have so much on here! I didn't have a toothpick( but I removed my battery first)and used a tack and it FIXED IT.. Thank you for putting this out there, I simply thought it was shot and I was very upset. I'm used to keeping even my shoes years..and years Lol now I have a bit more time 😊AWESOME EDUCATIONAL VIDEO❤❤
👍🤘🙏
Thank you, this fixed my problem. I did move to an outlet that was switched off after cleaning, which lead to some fear and frustration, but it was working again as soon as it was active. Great solution!

You have literally save me headaches, money and time!!!!! Thank you for your informative video!! My phone charging port no longer accepted the charger cable. I keep my phone in my pocket while at work and didn't realize lint can get into the port. I followed your demonstration video and the amount of lint that I got out of the port was shocking to my eyes. Now, thanks to you, everything works great. You are wonderful!!!
Thanks for the kind word and very glad it helped.
Highly recommend this guy, I did what he did because my charger was not working, with in 3 minutes my charger is now charging my phone! Thank you @Pete Johns
Nice one! Very glad to hear it.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
My phone was stuck at 13% and it was at 1AM and this trick literally saved me!!!! Thanks!!!

Most Useful UA-cam video in my entire life(till now). There was only 1% charge, started watching this video, just saw nearly 1minute:4 second, before my my phone went to sleep..but that one minute portion helped me to put a comment in this video after charging.Thank You So Much.
Awesome!! So glad it helped. And I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Awesome! I cleaned out my charger port, and a lot of stuff came out. Your solution worked perfectly! Thanks!

Your video is much appreciated! Omg. I was planning on paying 70 bucks to replace my charger port. Came across this video but didn't have a toothpick at the time.. but still resorted to my 3 year old nephew stripping the port trying to plug it in the charger. A few days later I visted my best friend and she had some toothpicks laying around and gave this a try with an air duster as well - and it fixed the problem. I made sure I came back and found your video again to send my many thanks to you for posting this. Much appreciated! Thank you for sharing 💛‼️

Thank you so much!! This was so helpful. My charger port wasn’t working right and it wouldn’t take my charger or headphones. After I cleaned my charger port for about 5 minutes my headphones and charger responded correctly to my phone!!
😎🤘
Yesterday night I watched your video after my iPhone 11 charging place frustrated me for several months! Before I watched your video, I went to a nearby phone repairing shop and the owner told me that I need to pay 99€ to fix the problem! But I refused and came back home and watched your video suddenly! Then in the morning, I told my wife about it. Initially she didn’t believe me but then we cleaned the port with a needle gently! The amount of sponge type trash that was removed from the port was shocking! I wish if I could attach the picture here! After we cleaned everything and removed all the trashes, we charged my dying phone! Everything works perfectly and I am super happy now! My wife is still in disbelief! Thank you sir for saving us from another disaster of paying to repair the phone or buying a new one 😅😅😅
Very welcome.
I had tried this before, but I was afraid to damage the port, but this video showed me that I am allowed to use a softer thing like a toothpick along with a little more force to clean. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
You’re very welcome my friend. Glad to hear it worked for you.
I should’ve cleaned mine out sooner but i’m so glad I decided to watch this
Well glad it helped ! 🤘😎
Pete, if you read this I want you to know I’m thanking you right now because you saved my phone from dying at 1 percent
Awesome sauce! Thanks for the kind words.
Thought I was going to have to pay for repair or buy a new phone. But I tried this and it totally worked. Couldn't believe the amount of lint in there. Thanks so much.

What a man you are. Still you like and replying everybody. You are legend. Love you broo. From India.❤️❤️
🤘😎
I literally pulled out 5x more than you did. I was about to get a new phone. That was some solid advice
Great stuff. Glad to hear it helped.
I looked this up before I found out my charger wasn’t in the wall
Oops!
💀😂😂
You really are a life saver. My charger isn't working and was about to go to the repairs, while waiting for my cousin i just google it with my mom's phone and this video really save my time and money. Thank you. 😍😍

OMG this video is a life saver. My 6 yr old son had my phone playing games and then it wouldn't charge anymore. I even went and bought a charging pad {which didn't work}. So i decided to see if i could fix myself and came across this video and now my phone is back to charging. Never would have thought of just cleaning the charge port. Thank you!!
Awesome! Glad to help. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Ok mine isn’t about my phone I used my dads charger and it works it’s just my charger which sucks :/
Bummer! Might need a new charger.
Pete Johns yeah I just noticed that apple makes the chargers last at least 6 months so we can buy a new one they’re really getting money .. 🤧
@@PeteJohnsMusic yeah same for me
Same my new charger isn’t working and there isn’t any damage and it’s like a week old
I use android xD and my original charger works just fine its been a year but it almost broke but good thing it got fixed
I didn’t know what to do with my iPhone 12 charger port. It wasn’t working. Cleaned out the port like he said and now it is working! Did not have to pay any money to fix. Thanks for the advice. Deeply appreciate it. Thank you so much! 😀
Awesome. Very glad to hear my friend.
Not gonna lie, I was initially a little pissed off when I saw an almost insultingly simple fix for this charging issue, but I wound up digging a MASSIVE amount of dirt and lint out of my phone's charging port. Like, it dwarfed the pile of stuff in this video.
My phone is charging instantly now whenever I hook it up! This is seriously such a relief. I would spend so long trying to hook my phone up each night, constantly plugging and unplugging, and trying to find that one position where my phone would take a charge. No more of that!
Great feedback. And I hear you about the video being borderline insulting. I nearly didn’t make it for that reason, but kept talking to people who were having these issues and it became clear that very few folks realised it was likely just crud in the socket.
My iphone X was dead since 9,10 month so I was really sad and bought new iphone 8 plus and after watching your video I tried it for 5 mins, And you know what it worked😊 Thanks a lot❤😊
Nice one! Glad it helped.
This is basically what happens to me
Phone: 1h 26m until fully charged
Me: Walks away
Phone:hehe that human really thought only 1h 26m??? 23H 51M
Evil devices!!
😂😂
Loki
No my would say like check your charger connection then it says 24 hours till fully charged 😑
😭😭😭💀
Your advice was so clear and simple and guess what - it worked! I was considering replacing the iPhone, that is no longer necessary. Many, many thanks!
Awesome. Very glad to hear. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
"Just grab, 1 toothpick. We shouldn't need more than 2 to get this done."
Uses 4 of them lol
Also, thanks it was useful and it's charging faster than i expected
Nice!! 🙏
Pete Johns what it is doesn’t work and you plug ur phone in and it doesn’t charge until you wiggle it and doesn’t go up one % I till like 2 hrs? :(
My phone’s power cord would go off if I touched it.
Concerned, I checked UA-cam and caught this video.
I didn’t think that this work.
I thought that perhaps the connection got bent.
But i tried it anyway.
I didn’t have a toothpick, but i did have a plastic dental pick. I followed instructions, but did not think that I grabbed anything. At least, anything I could see with the naked eye.
Well, . . . IT WORKED! , L O L I can’t believe it, but now the cord can be pushed and pulled, but it still charges.
🙏🏼 thank you!
Awesome sauce! So glad it was able to help. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
I typically don’t give videos likes, but this ones well deserved and probably the most underrated video on the interney
Thanks my friend. Glad to hear it.
Interney
Thank you, bro! It works. I almost went to the repair store, but thanks to you, I won't be going. 😊
Awesome. So glad to hear it helped.
I was going to buy a new phone, tried this and it works perfectly now. You sir, are a fine example that not all heroes wear capes!
Haha! Thanks my friend. Appreciate it.
Pov: your iPhone is quickly dying and your charger port isn’t working
Good luck
1% !!!
You saved my day!! My 6 year old 5s is having the same problem. I was thinking of upgrading it and then tried your hack before giving up. It’s working now 😄😄Thanks a lot 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Awesome! Always happy to hear.
Thank you! Thought my phone was knackered, bought some toothpicks after watching this video and I was amazed at the amount of gunk that came out… and now it charges again!
Nice! Glad it helped.
When it’s 1am and your phone is slowly dyinggg
Bugger!
me rn but my phone is dead im on my laptop lol\
my phone's at 7% rn
Dude you are a Life Saver My Phone was Charging But Instead of Increasing it was decreasing and it was buzzing too and I checked the port and it was very dirty and I tried your technique and now it's doesn't decrease

Pete makes hundreds of insightful GarageBand videos, teaching & helping many. Same Pete gets over a million views teaching people to wield a toothpick. Go figure… 😄. Fair play to ya!
Hahah! Right? I don’t know whether to be ashamed or proud that this is my most watched video? 🤦🏻♂️😄
My God. Thought I was going to have to fork out for a new phone. The toothpick thing actually worked first time. This man is a hero. Thank you!
Glad it helped my friend.
Thank you so much dude! You could have chosen to keep this secret to yourself but you chose to help others with it, so thank you for that
100%. I’ve seen too many folks ripped off by shady phone repair places that will charge you $200 and just go out the back and do this.
Ahhh u legend this is why I love Australians because there actually don’t waste peoples time thank u man watching from uk
Thanks my friend. Glad to hear it worked for you.
This man is still hearting an replying. What a legend!
Thanks! Gives me something to do and keeps me off the streets.
Thank you so much! I’ve been having this problem for like a month now and it feels so good to finally have a healthy phone! Thank you for everything!
Awesome! I did this for my daughter’s phone just today.
Facing charging issue for several months, this method worked for me. Thanks a lot, brother. I came back to comment and like your video.
Awesome!! Very glad to hear. I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
I guess folks only look for this sort of repair in times of desperation. I did, and was I glad I found it. I hoiked out gobs of lint and other stuff that was clearly (in hindsight) stopping my charging lead from entering the port. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Who else went to the comments to see if would work? Me! 😂
Hopefully the number of likes and positive responses told you it works for a lot of folksz
Everybody in the comments.....
Me
Yep
Heaven S mee
You absolute legend i thought id have to get my port fixed or something but 5 minutes of cleaning and its charging perfectly thank you soooo much
Awesome!! 🙌. So glad it helped.
My charger wouldn't go all the way in. I figured some part of my charger would be stuck in the port. However it wasn't broken. I was skeptical this would work. I was already searching for a new phone! But I gave this a shot and I'm happy it worked. Thank you so much!
Nice one! I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
This did help my phone to charge better, I used a little alcohol on the tip of the toothpick and cleaned both the port and charger pins (try at your own risk). I still have to hold the connection still though or it will lose contact. Thanks
Nice one. Glad it helped.
OMG IM CRYING AFTER 2 YEARS OF SUFFERING U SAVED MY LIFE ❤️ HEAVEN HAS A ROOM FOR YOU ❤️
Nice one! I hope you get value from the other videos on the channel and consider subscribing if you haven’t already. 👍
Damn 2 years..
I’m
This worked for a set of airpod pro that I had given up on and replaced two years ago. Used the toothpick and there was what looks like a wood chip in the port. We were clearing our land around that time so that makes sense. Now I have two working sets. Thank you!
Yeah right! It can indeed be easy to get stuff caught in those ports! Glad it helped.
Wow thank you so much... This trick was so effective that my andriod turned in to i phpne
Haha! Love it.
:)
So, it got degraded?
😂😂😂
Number 2 of fixing your phone from not charging. Of your charger doesn't work check the system of it if doesn't work get a new
I found this video and it worked! I thought my phone needed to be replaced! Thank you, problem solved.
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Guys full tip and a lesson: never play with your phone while charging... and make sure your cord is straight and not bend while u charge it (and put airplane mode for fast charging)
👍
Omg when į charge a lot į play
And my phone iš mot charging anymore
ah no wonder
But I have to bend my charger in order for it to charge.
Have to say been having this problem for about a month now . Don’t know why I haven’t decided to look it up but this actually works. Thank you so much my dude appreciate the vid!!!!
You’re very welcome my friend. I hope you get value from the other videos here on the channel and consider subscribing. 👍
Great tip, Pete! I’m gonna share this video with a friend of mine who have some trouble with this issue. Many thanks 🙏
Awesome! Hope it helps my friend.
I used metal before hearing “don’t use anything metallic” ive messed up
Should be okay. Just best to avoid metallic objects if you can.
Pete Johns oh ok
I used medal and I think I messed it up omggggg
I used a metal fork and like jabbed it on there and I think I broke it...
Assumed my phone was broken, nearly bought a new one, watched this vid, problem solved. We don’t deserve heroes like this man ❤️
Sweet! Always great to hear.
