@@HowToWithLech I have scotch tape can I use that too?
@@brycetheelastigirlfan97 yeah that can work. try like 3 or 4 layers probably
I've been dealing with the same situation for over a week now and I just literally try this and boom... It's working perfectly and less annoying. Thank you🤘
Awesome. happy to help 👍👊
Having same issue and it's really annoying 💔😭, I'm gonna go try this out and see how it turns out .. 🤗
I am dealing with the same issue… hopefully this will take care of the issue. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Had tried the tape option and it’s working perfectly fine. I am so much relieved now. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
👊
Thanks for the video with tips. Did the tape inside the port and it works great. Tight fit now! Very happy I don’t need to pay to repair or get a new phone
nice. thanks
Top marks. Been frustrated with charging my iPad Pro 12.9. Early version. Tried lots of different cables etc. Stumbled across this video, got the tape and scissors out and did it straight away. SUCCESS. Thank you. And just subscribed to your channel.
glad it worked for you. thanks for feedback and your support.
I am having this issue with my ipad pro 12.9 too
Dude i haven’t used an actual plug charger in 6 months because of the charging problem and I never once thought to clean out the lint, I finally did and that shit was clogged with lint and now it works again. I was about to pay someone to replace it, you just saved me money 🙏🏼
glad you found this and it helped.
Saved me money
*_THIS MAN DESERVES AN AWARD_*
Fixed my charging+ loose Earphone issue
lol. thank you
👍👊
I truly appreciate your assistance. Thanks to you, my repair costs were avoided completely. A pin was used to clean the pin, and it is now completely clean. From India ❤❤❤
Nice. Cheers 👍
I thought you were about to just tape it in place lol.
haha ;)
LMAO
YES! 😆!! Same.
Same
hahaah
Ohmygosh! Thank you so much. I didn’t have any electrical tape and I was watching this at 2am. I did three layers of regular tape 😂 it worked!
Sweet!!
Thank you for the tip!! (three layers)
@@allie942 nice!
Jeez wow, This actually worked 😂 I accidentally broke my charging port didn't know what to do I kept taping my charger to the side.. and then I started looking up how to fix it and saw your video. at first I thought it was fake or something but no this actually works I really appreciate it!!!.
Glad was able to help. Thanks for the feedback!!
I can’t tank you enough I just ordered this I phone on eBay and it had this charger issue . I’ve been contacting the seller no show . I came across your technical idea and it works no more annoying charging hassle thx.
Glad to help 👊
This man deserves an award. Amazing video, thank you
Appreciate that !
My phone been having that issue for weeks now and I’m so glad I seen this video so I could just clean it myself
Sweet 👍
thanks mate worked like a charm. i do recomend changing the tame once a moth or when its starting to fault because of the tape wearing
down
Thanks. Yup agreed
Thank you. I tried a lot of different things myself and nothing else worked. Saved me money and time. Much appreciated 👍🏼.
Nice 👊
Thank you so much!!!! I thought my phone is broken and i literally started crying because i cant afford especially in a time like this!!
glad i could help...
Thanks you so much ! The trick worked nicely
But one thing is I can feel my tablet port and upper side of tape being heated up is that ok ? Plz can you answer me ? And is it OK if I keep it charging on for whole night? Would it burn the tape ?
You sure just that part is not warmer. Tape itself would not get hot. Electrical tape is what make la it safe. Maybee tape is too deep in. Should be fine
I see videos that say use the electric tape method on the side with the screen but can I put it on the charger it self? because I don't feel comfortable with putting it in the charging port it self.
It will be just fine, but if you don’t feel comfortable try that way. Will probably move after some use. Check my updated video I posted recently. , showed all this in more detail.
You are a genius! Thank you, I have been taping my cords and breaking them over and over because I don’t want to replace the port.
👍. Appreciate it.
Question does this affect the performance of the charger such as charging speeds?
no, your not changing the way it connects. your just make it a snugger fit.
There are two metal tangs inside the port - one on each side - that correspond to the divets on the side edges of the lightning connector. The tangs should stick out a bit into the port so that they grab onto the connector. That’s what ‘clicks’ when you plug it in - not the ‘bottom’ or whatever.
Over time, those metal tangs get bent inward until they can’t grab the connector anymore, so even though the port’s clean the connector won’t stay put and it’ll just fall out unless you have it lying flat & you’re not moving it around.
My guess is that to fix it you’d need a very small steel hook-shaped needle to slip under each sunken metal tang and carefully pull and ‘stretch’ them back out into the port so that they’ll grab on to the connector.
How the hell do you do that.
Correct, but I think they are spring loaded and the spring wears out. I had this same problem so I used some rubbing alcohol to clean out the port and toothpicks/small flathead screw driver to try and pry them out a bit. Didnt get them all the way out to where they should be, but enough that the plug stays in and charges.
@@user-pm8hs6xv5p I have the same problem too. How'd you fix it?
denees Rubbing alcohol and a qtip. Then use maybe a toothpick or something small and scrape out the inside the charging port. It gets lint/dirt built up inside and the plug doesnt go all the way into place and is lose and wont fully charge/charge at all.
you just gave me no hope
A guy in the mall was trying to charge me $150 and this worked perfectly fine for me 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
haha. crazy. glad you got it done.
This thing worked great with m,y dad’s old iPhone 7
I was about to go and spend 50 pounds to get a new charging slot!!!
God bless u !!😁
awesome!
Thx
Hi! Before I came to your video, I watched other videos how to fix charger port. Most I’ve seen are just needed to be clean inside, which I tried. But it didn’t work for me, it disappointed me. But when I saw ur video, I’ve decided to try it! VIOLA!!!! It totally worked!!! You have know idea how you saved me from it! 😂☺️ THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 🌹❤️
Awesome!! I’m glad it worked for you 👊
My iPhone 11 Pro Max was not charging... I followed your advice in 0.48s, i.e., lift the charger up. It worked like magic, for me! Thanks a lot!
Nice 👊
Thanks bro! Worked surprisingly well!!! 💯💯💯❤️🙏🏽. For anybody wondering, any tape will work fine. But preferably use clear scotch tape and keep using until your charger port fits nice and tight on your charger port. Then it should charge after a couple of pieces of tape. Like 5-7 should work fine. Thanks to this beautiful smart man I went from no charge at all on my phone to charging in seconds!
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
I just came back here to say thank you, the electric tape thing saved me, thank god my parents will never know
glad it worked for you. thanks
for me the tape won’t let it charge
They will never know👀
First time ever commenting on a UA-cam video and am glad it this one. Bro u saved me from being depressed because of charging issues😭😭😭 THANKS 🙏
Nice. Happy to help 👊👍
Yeah I was getting so depressed too and now I'm so happy because this was driving me crazy. This guy is amazing
appreciate you@@byronw3242
Thank you so much for this tip I cleaned out the charging dock like you spoke about and phone 📲 is all sorted Cheers 🍻
nice!
Same 👍🏿
I know this video is old but I just found it because I was having charging issues with my iPhone X. All I ended up needing to do was clean out the charging port with the paper clip and it’s charging consistently again. No more problems. THANK YOU!!
I keep my iPhones for a while (would still be on IPhone 6 but my wife surprised me with an iPhone X one year and no way I’m going to turn it down when it’s coming from her lol)
Nice. Glad to help. My wife still on her 7
No I’m gonna cry I was gonna take my phone in and omg my phone has been like this for so long THANKU SMMMMM
awesome. glad it worked for you...
:D:D:D
Cleaned my huge lint pile out. Works now. Thanks brother!!!
Nice 👊
I tried cleaning with a paper clip and it didn't work, but then a used a needle and also, inspired by your tape method, I used the paper clip to put some tape in there, removing a lot of dirty every time a took it out. The result was amazing, I had forgotten that the charger was supposed to click when plugged. Now it works like the first day, like there was nothing wrong it, thank you. 🙏🏽
Nice 👍
Thanks, Lech! I just got my phone to charge again with the strip of electrical tape. It's very satisfying to repair something so easily, with materials already on hand. You saved me a long, expensive trip to town.
I highly recommend this hack. I tried it after watching this and I can confirm it worked for me. Thanks a lot man
nice. thanks!
Thank you so much for this. Its gross how much lint came out, now the charger stays locked in after your fix.
It was so annoying when I drive and Apple Car Play keeps disconnecting all the time!
If we ever meet - drinks are on me.
Cheers!
Nice👍 sounds good, I will take you up on that
Thanks a lot! This was really helpful. Fixed my issue.
👍
It really works. Thank you. I got a iPhone not charging. Your video saved the phone. Now it's charging.
Awesome 👊
This is the exact problem I’m having with my iPhone 8 I’m going to give it a try thank you!!!
it should help. good luck.
Tried this on my iphone 6s plus and charging issue solved. Thanks for the video👍
Trust me. Its not loose. You just need to clean the port. Its just full of accumulated dusts and micro debris inside the port that the charger cannot be inserted deeper. Thats why you get the feeling of the chrger not snapping or not able to lock. Once you get rid of the dusts it will snap/lock back again like brand new. Search for “how to clean lightning port” here in youtube. Be careful not to accidentally remove the pins that connects to charger.
👍
👍
Been struggling for 3 weeks with this issue, u are a genius, iPhone XR finally charging 😀
Happy to help 👍👍👍
Thank you, I hope this helps my iPhone 7 I forgot to charge it so I’ve been messing with it plugging it in but he battery 🔋 thing stays red so going to try this
It should. Let me know
OMYGOD THANK YOU SO MUCH I JUST BREAK MY TABLET SCREEN AND NOW I THOUGHT I BREAKED MY PHONE AS WELL I DIDNT KNOW HOW DIRTY IT WAS😩💀
yeah. :)
I was skeptical with this until I tried it AND HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IT WORKS!
👊👍
I have the same problem. But I need to push reall hard and now have a heavy weight on my phone. And now it just stopped working. Will this still work??
i had the same issue. please give it a try. it should work. probably have lint in there if have to push hard, and might be loose thus the need for the tape. also if charger cabel is really old and worn out , maybe get a fresh one.
is it ok if i use a paper tape? mine is a 2019 ipad pro. mine is very loose when its plugged in.
I think electrical tape is best option. If don’t have on hand scotch couple layers should work. Paper too, just keep away from metal connectors inside. You should be fine.
This actually worked cause I had the exact same problem 💯… may the Lord bless you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice. Glad to help 👊👍
It works it was a quick fix and very easy!
Thanks man you helped me out!
Awesome. Glad to
Dude, you are a lifesaver! I literally just went through almost $50 worth of new chargers not realizing it was my fn iPhone! So far it’s working perfectly!!
Nice 👍👊
Wow thank you!! My phone was dead for hours and it wouldnt charge ive done so many things to try to fix it but your idea worked! Thank you so much
nice. thanks!
Lifesaver bro! I had my phone and cable contorted all kinds of weird ways to try and charge it, I used a very small piece of good old fashioned duct tape on the top screen side of the port and now it’s charging great! Thank you so much for the idea!
👊
Brother! You just saved my life. Thanks 🙏
nice. thanks
You saved my iPod. I tried cleaning out the ports, nothing worked.
Your tiny strip of electrical tape, saved the day! Thank you!!
Nice 👍👊
Hii even me too having same problem with my iPhone X
can I do the same?
Yes!
Thanks, works way better than before ! Thumbs up 👍
👊
Thanks bro my charging port decided to bonk out yesterday worked for me
Sweet
Can u do a video on how to fix the cable pin bc for me it's so wiggling and It's not charging the phone idk why :/
The pins inside the phone? If that , the port would have to be replaced
I found this it’s December 2021. My Charger Was Driving Me Insane Trying To Fold My Charger Cable Where It Charges My Phone. I Tried Old Chargers Original Charger Even Bought New Chargers & Dint Work, It Was The Port. I Cleaned The Lint Out Worked A Little Bit But Then It Wouldn’t Charge Again. So I Tried The Electrical Tape & Finally Some Peace It Works 100% Percent!! Thank You So Much For This Video You Have Saved Me! ❤️❤️❤️
sweet! glad it worked for you. thanks for the feedback.
yo tysm i wasent pushing my charger far enough in 😂
Haha crazy right! Thanks
Dude!! My phone battery was dead and I couldn’t figure out how to know if my phone was even charging or not! Thanks a lot man I appreciate it❤️. You don’t know how much you’ve helped me
Glad to help 👊
This worked perfectly. I used a paperclip and cleaned a lot of lint out and phone started charging! I will use the tape hack if needed down the road. Thanks again!
Nice 👍
Wow, i am struggle with this condition for like half year, and i found this video. Thank you so much brohhh
this saved me from going to the mac center and spending!!!!! thank you so much!!!!
I'm glad to help out :)
You got big money if you take your phone there lol
lol tried the fix ending up breaking my charging cable into my iPhone from wiggling it around so much. Finally was able to pull it out. Frustrated I sprayed isopropanol into the charging port then used compressed air to flush it out. Works great now lol thank for the video
glad you got it working.
Thanks for this tips. I have tape the transparent tape around the metal of my type c cable then plug in to charge. It works for months but today it stop working. Hope your method works for me
Good luck. I hope it does too
Nice sir..... Can u tell This also use in iphone (se) old model
please tell because I broke my charger pin in mobile and when I take out pin than mobile not charging with other charger why...
Yes it should. Clean out and try. Can’t hurt
Yeah it will work with any iPhone. As long as port is not damage should work fine
Thanks so much 🙏 I been having this problem for a week but then you helped me thank you.
glad to help
The lint rip actually worked for me, thank you lol.
Nice!
What brand of electric tape just wondering mine seems like it doesn’t work or I’m just dumb
One used here was the cheapest option I found at HD. Reason being it’s stiffer then the fancy brands like 3m. So easier for connector to go in and out and not pull tape . Some people do a couple layers of clear tape too
Owe you my life it’s been soo annoying for months and recently got to the point of it just not charging. Bent a keyring and cleaned the port, was full of dust. Charges like a charm. Legend thank you
Ha. Nice. Glad to hear 👍👊
Wonderful tip.! Worked phenomenal for me!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH.!!🥰❤️ god bless you and your entire family 🙏🏻🥰❤️
Thank you so much 👍
This actually worked! Thank u so so so much man
👊
In my case keeps on telling me this accessory may not be supported, it charges and discharged and charges only from 7%,20% and 40% I’ll apréciate your help
Try a new cable if possible. If haven’t. But that’s Apple for yiu
guys, if this doesnt work for you, try using toothpicks but scratch it hard, i tried first with toothpicks but almost nothing came out and it still didnt charge anything. also it was not normal for a phone i have been using for 7 years to have 0 dust inside so i tried scratching it hard(just be careful to not damage the pins, and also just in case turn off the phone) and realized there were some soft spots when scratching inside so i kept going and then blocks of dust were coming out. took me like 30 toothpicks to clean it and theres still some inside but i couldnt get them out, but 100% now my phone always charges, no exceptions. btw, the issues i had before were: 1. it kept just stopping the charge when moved like showed in the video which i lived with that for like a year until 2. suddenly it didnt want to charge, not even changing a whole cable, but sometimes if i pressed extremely super hard the usb to the port it reacted for a sec but nothing more. so in my case it was just super hard blocks of dusts that didnt want to come out so scratching hard helped me to break them in much more little pieces to get them out. hope this helps someone :)
It works! Best thing I’ve watched all year on yt thanks man
Nice. Thanks!
OMG THANK GOD I FOUND YOU!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! ❤️
Thanks 👍👊
Would scotch packing tape work as a temporary option?
Yeah. People did it. Might need 2-3 layers.
Thank you so much, took a second but I got it to work. Also, do not use a paperclip to clean out the inside of the charger port. I watched numerous videos and they all said it can damage your phone. Great video overall!
Yeah. Wood toothpick is better .
this worked thank you so much!! i thought i was going to have to take it in and get it repaired but i didnt have the money for that lmao
sweet !
Thnx man it works perfectly
👊
After cleaning jack it turned out to be even more worse but this tape thing saved me, Thanks for the knowledge 🙌🏻
glad you got it to work.
2023 Iphone 11 it really work . My iphone wont charge on any position . Now it charged without any problem . Thank you !
👍👊
Watching on 5% wish me luck
👍🙏
Works like a champ!!
👍
Also wouldn’t the electrical tape melt when the phone is hot sometimes?
nope, thats why electrical tape is used. thanks
Hello...i did this and it worked fine but will the tape come off after some amount of penetrating?
Yeah its just tape. You’re fine
simple solution but very helpful, thankyou
👍
Thank you bro it worked for me also ✊🏾💪🏾I was about to break my phone and my charger this was sooo annoying 😭
im glad. you got it bro!
@@HowToWithLech what if it get fire 🔥 while some times are Phone gets hot so what we do
@@PetesMerrin hi. sorry never had an issues with my iphones overheating. i seen they get too hot out in the sun, and it actually tells you to cool it off. it wont work. but you wont get any fire from doing this. using electrical tape so its safe in that sense. and make sure phone is off if you plan the clean the inside of the port out with a metal prong. use a wooden toothpick instead for example to get the lint out etc. thanks
Im having trouble with the tape coming out and being pushed in. Im using very cheap tape. Maybe i need to try that commercial electric tape?
Yeah try better electric tape. Or even couple layers of clear.
I have iPhone 6SPlus and the last 4 yrs been having this just go buy another cable it racking up money.. I just seen this and try…
But how do u get the tape out ? If u need replace for newer piece? Ty…
Tape overlaps outside. Easy to take off. Or just like you would remove the lint. With a toothpick etc.
@@HowToWithLech I try it but it won’t stick well.. I have to keep replacing it 2-3x day.. it’s helps thanks
I was having a bad connection and mine was very very loose and it’s a iPhone 8 that I’ve only had for a year and all I had to do was take a toothpick and clean all the dust out which there was a shit ton and I never realized that’s what it could be been dealing with this for months😂
👊
Worked perfectly. Genius!!
👍
Thanks the tape thing worked everyone was just saying “clean the lint out” but I didn’t have any lint in my port
Nice
This won’t affect the charging port it won’t catch on fire or anything when being plugged in?
Nope. It’s electrical tape. And you’re not putting it on the connection side. Worst it will just block the charging if installed on wrong side.
Awesome , It Works Absolutely Fine
Thanks 😊
👊👍
Thanks man works fine for me, phone was off for few days, I think using toothpick or metal hook will damage or move out the pins in the charging port best way to clean by using dust remover
👊👍
I tried this after cleaning the port many times and it definitely didn’t work. I tried something after that did. One thing I don’t like about the iPhone is the pins in the charging port and the charging cable. They seem to tarnish easy. What worked for me is buy some contact cleaner, absolutely make sure the phone is off first. I sprayed contact cleaner in the port and then I use the bobby pin to scrape the pins free of tarnish. Most people like myself use a toothpick or a floss pic, and that’s great for lint but I don’t think it’s good for scraping off tarnish from the pins. I was having a lot of trouble with this phone and I finally figured it out. Just thought I’d put that out there for other people if they were as frustrated as I was. I like your tip though It was the only thing that was addressing the problem other than getting the lint out of the phone. If you do this with the phone on it’s probably a sure way to damage the phone. I would make sure it’s totally dry before turning back on. Fortunately contact cleaner drys fast and is meant for stuff like this. Good luck, I feel your pain!
