Toothpick. Clean port. That has saved almost every iPhone people bring me that’wont charge’.
Every other one Apple has fixed for free as some internal solder has failed.
But that was twice in about 50 cases.

- PNWChris 4y agoAnother possible issue: arcing/stuff burning on to one of the lightning pins. IDK why it happens, it’s probably lint or something, but it’s easy enough to mitigate: If a cable stops working all the sudden, the first thing I do is wet my fingers and rub both sides of the lightning cable’s connector. Most of the time that does the trick, no new cable or tools needed! An example of the issue I found searching the issue real quick: https://www.thetechmentor.com/posts/fix-lightning-cable-burnt-pin-black-line/amp/ https://www.thetechmentor.com/posts/fix-lightning-cable-burn...
- giantg2 4y agoYep, there's definitely a scorch mark. I already tried cleaning it and the port. It intermittently works and seems to depend on which way the cable is plugged in (still intermittent but better; other cables are usually better but still intermittent).
