- In this video, I show you a very simple method to clean out your headphone and lightning port on your iPhone, iPad or any other smartphone or tablet.
Warning - if you are concerned about damaging your device, don't try this method and consult your manual, manufacturer or relevant genius.
This fix removes the dust, pocket lint, dirt and other "crud" that gets caught up in your input jacks over time and can help solve some common problems, including:
1. Headphones not working when plugged in
2. Headphones showing as plugged in even when not plugged in
3. Headset microphone or button not working
4. Lightning or charger port connects and disconnects frequently
5. Lightning or charger port does not connect at all
The method shown in this video helps remove the foreign particles that get caught up in your device over time, which cause the pins and poles of your headphones and data connectors to not connect properly, resulting in errors and issues.

Dude you actually may have saved me from having to go and buy another phone!! Thank you!!

Him: DO NOT USE METAL--
Oh crap.
Yeah, a needle will work but has a much higher chance of causing some damage, which is why I recommend wood or plastic.
Same lol
Don’t know about you but before the video I used a hair clip and i dont know if I’ve damaged it Oof
Sameee
I done did it already
*BRO YOU FIX MY HEADPHONE JACK YOU DESERVE MORE SUBS WOAH!!*

actual cleaning starts at 5:40
Correct. This has been covered in the pinned comment and description. Ensure the warnings given at the start of the video are considered before doing anything.
Ahhahaahha
thanks
I almost quit watching till I saw your comm
Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
I can't find a toothpick.
Maybe go out for a nice steak dinner? Or just a supermarket. A pack of 100 is $1 here in Australia - worth the investment to have them handy.
Maybe use a earbuds those white things you use to clean your ears
@@blackcath3dral - yes, anything that isn't made of metal is an option, however those earbuds can leave little bits of residue behind, and also are often not hard enough to pick up and scrape off the little bits of crud in there. Worth a short if you have nothing else! A wooden skewer will work too.
Pete Johns thanks! And I tried with a tooth pick and it worked 😃
Earbuds dont fit
I dropped my phone and it fixed itself lol
Haha! Gold. Sometimes the simplest fixes hey?!
@@PeteJohnsMusic the bass was really bad and after cleaning it did nothing then i accidently dropped it and It sounds normal again 😀
Haha! Hope you remember exactly how you dropped it so you can do it again!!
I tried this because of your comment and it worked!!! I didnt let it fall, but I knocked it against some one a couple of times. Not too hard tho. Thank you so much lol
Haha! This is how I fixed my computers back on the 80s and 90s. A little whack in just the right place often did the trick! 😄

Dude, I LOVE you. You have just saved me so much time, patience and money.
I was about to send my phone back for repair and decided to check your method.
Bingo! There was enough fluff stuffed in that jack-socket to knit a scarf, lol.
Thanks a million, man.
Haha! It’s amazing isn’t it? So simple and sounds like it couldn’t possibly be the problem, but it works a surprising amount of the time!

I had issues with the earphone jack and charging port. It would occasionally work but has been loose quite a lot. After watching your video I established that it was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Now the earphone jack is never loose and the charging works fine. Thanks for the video Pete. You're a genius
Thanks my friend! Such a simple but surprisingly effective method.
That moment when you realise you don't have a tooth pick
Bummer! Hopefully something similar worked for you.
Hahaha🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂well I asked my sisters to look around the whole house for a toothpick 😂😂😂
I have it . I brought it from a restaurant. A typical Indian
Thank you so much , I didn't believe this would actually work❤❤❤

I used to have the problem of my phone not playing any sound because the crud was gathering on the contacts and the device thought it was connected to a dock so it would disable the speakers. I’ve always used a toothpick to clear the dirt that gathers in the ports. Had this problem occur three times total and all three were fixed in less than 20”. Solid advice
Always be extra careful when you stick pointy objects in sensitive electronics, although toothpicks are soft enough that they can’t cause damage to the internal, I believe.
Hey there. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend - I really appreciate it.
Yes, I think toothpicks are ideal for this and have always worked really well for me.
Cant believe the amount of lint that came out of the jack. Had an issue where the iPad would mistakenly think there were headphones connected, and now the regular sound is working again, thank you! 🙏
Awesome! Very glad to hear it helped my friend.

How come when I use earphones I can only hear music but I can't hear the voice of people talking
That is strange? Both music and voice should be played the same way?
Same here
I have just had this problem now too!
Same
So I managed to fix it without having to get it sent to someone to fix. I took a small piece of foil and wrapped it around the earphone jack and sent it in slowly. Once it bit inside I twisted the jack and got it to work. I now have sound with music and with voice.
I just did this cause my headset was not working but it works on other phones. You are a genius! Thank you so much 😁😁😁😁
