Why Your Phone Isn't Charging Properly (And How to Fix It)

Few things are more frustrating than plugging in your phone and realizing it’s barely charging — or not charging at all. If you've ruled out a faulty charger or cable, there’s a good chance the issue is inside your device.
Common Causes of Charging Problems
1. Dirty or Clogged Charging Port
One of the most common (and fixable) issues is simply a dirty port. Over time, lint, dust, and debris build up inside the port, preventing a proper connection. This makes your cable feel loose or forces you to wiggle it around just to get a charge.
2. Damaged Charging Port
If you’ve had to "wiggle" your charger frequently or force it into place, the internal pins inside the port may be bent or broken. This physical damage often results in no charging at all, slow charging, or unstable charging.
3. Faulty Battery
Sometimes the battery itself is to blame. If your phone’s battery is damaged or degraded, it might struggle to accept a charge properly — even if the charging port is fine.
4. Water or Liquid Damage
Exposure to moisture can corrode the delicate connections inside your charging port, leading to long-term charging issues even if the phone initially seemed fine after getting wet.
Signs Your Charging Port Needs Repair
- Your cable feels loose or unstable when plugged in.
- Your phone charges intermittently or only when angled a certain way.
- Your phone charges extremely slowly or not at all.
- You’ve tried multiple cables and chargers with no success.
