#The gunk charge off pro#

The charging cable is working for the last two weeks now without any issues whatsoever.

It charges immediately without me having to hold the cable in. I then powered up the phone and tested my charging cable. I repeated this process two more times until there was no rubbish fallen out of the port. I pulled the pin out and sure enough some rubbish fallen out. I gently scraped the bottom left to right and right to left 5 times. I then used the sim card removal pin (It’s metal of course) and placed it right down to the bottom of the charging port. I then realised that there was something maybe at the base of the charging port preventing my charging cable to be fully inserted. I had to hold the cable in for it stay charging. I had similar issues with my iPhone SE for months where the charging kept staying on and off whilst charging. The pins are located on the floor/ceiling of the port chamber so I mostly kept clear of the pins by sticking to the back wall to break up the packed cruft. That being said, I recently had to clear out the lightning port a second time (on my iPhone 6s) and I used my metal tools without issue. You could use a teflon spudger as an in-between that's stronger than wood but can't do damage like a metal pick would. The toothpicks I've used aren't hard enough to break up the cruft at the back wall of the port. Yes, a toothpick (or anything wood) is certainly a lot safer than metal tools. I used metal tools but was careful not to mess with the metal pins. Toothpicks (wooden tools) are safer but may not tough enough. Once that lint was removed, it was flush again and charging was back to normal. One giveaway is that the white plastic collar (for lack of a better term) doesn't sit flush against the phones body when the lightning cable is plugged in. I had a similar issue with my iPhone 5S and the Apple Store guy took it back for 3 minutes and came back and all was well.

Try raking the bottom of the lightning socket with something thin and stiff, such as a thin paperclip (or use the Probe and Pick Set) to remove the lint. Ĭonclusion ? Either the old cables have something extra or maybe the recent production one has something missing. They flipped through the warehouse and gave me the last three pieces they had. Then I went to a store and asked to sell me lightning cables for two years ago.

Desperate I searched a solution when I saw that I can not load my iPad Pro fo witch I pay a lot of money. By accident I did not throw him in the garbage.
