Did you just plug in your phone to the charger but still, the charge percentage remains the same? We can understand how frustrated you might be feeling with your device right now. Don’t worry, charging port issues are common and can come up anytime, no matter how old or new your device is. There are various reasons that can cause a charging port to degrade, and the problem is more common with android devices.

Here are some of the common issues that can lead to charging port problems and may need professional repairs:

  • Corrosion

One of the first culprits is corrosion that is often the result of moisture or air that goes into the charging port and weakens the port connection. Since corrosion is a slow process, you may not know that your port is degrading for a long time unless it completely stops working. To avoid the problem, always keep your phone away from water and moisture.

  • Dust, Dirt, & Debris

Since there are tiny dust particles almost everywhere, avoiding them is a tough task. When you keep your device on a surface, dust or dirt may accumulate in the charging port. Also, when you put your phone in pocket, minor linen particles may stick to your phone’s back cover and block the charging port over time. Keep cleaning or blowing off the dirt to prevent any accumulation that can ruin your device’s performance.

  • Broken Charger Port

Sometimes the charging port breaks down due to excess pressure applied when trying to charge. The other reason may be using the wrong charging cable which often damages the port pins causing your device to stop charging. If a broken charger port is causing your device to not charge, only a professional mobile repair technician can help you out with the repair.

  • Loose Charging Port

Most often, it’s the loose charging port that causes the battery issues and needs to be repaired by an expert. If your battery charging icon continuously keeps on displaying on-charge and off-charge again and again, the underlying issue may be a loose charging port.
