Phone Won't Charge
Android or iPhone — same triage: cable, port, battery, board.
Symptoms
- No charge
- Loose cable fit
- Intermittent charging
Quick troubleshooting
Step 1
Swap cable and charger
Eliminate accessories first.
Step 2
Clean the port carefully
No metal tools. Lint is the #1 “won’t charge” fix we see.
Likely causes
- Lint in port
- Bad cable
- Worn port
- Battery / board
Still dead after cleaning? Port or board. Book a repair.
