How to Clean Phone Charging Port

The phone charging port may be blocked or otherwise damaged. In order to keep it working – you may need to clean up the port. We will introduce three best ways to clean up the phone charging port.

1: Using compressed air

You should try to clean the charging port, don’t touch it or stick anything inside. The port includes delicate touch points and tiny metal strips. If the contact point is damaged, the charger will not work no matter how clean you are. If the anchors on both sides are damaged, they will not be able to connect your cable. The only solution after the damage is to go to the phone repair shop to replace the charging port, which takes time and money.

One of the best options for cleaning the phone port is to use compressed air. Put it close to the port and spray the air. Wait a few seconds, then try connecting the charging cable again to see if it works.

2: Using a toothpick

Occasionally, the interface may produce dirt and the air cannot be disposed of. In these cases, the toothpick is actually a suitable tool because the wood is softer and more flexible than plastic or wire.

3: Looking for mobile phone after-sales store or professionals

Going to the mobile phone after-sales store, experienced staff will know how to safely clean the phone charging port and will have professional tools (such as small vacuum cleaners).

If you don’t have a mobile aftermarket store near you, you can bring your phone to any professional repair shop or professional who will be able to help you. Of course, additional fees may apply.

With the popularity of wireless charging, I think that each phone will support wireless charging in the future, this problem will never happen again.
