If your phone only charges at certain angles, lint in the port may be the problem rather than a broken part.
Power off the phone and gently remove debris with a wooden toothpick or soft brush. If charging still fails, try another cable and charger before seeking repair.
Pin Tip
Avoid metal objects, which can damage the port contacts.
Before You Start
Back up important files before making changes, write down any error messages, and restart the device once to see if the problem clears. These simple steps solve many issues and give a technician useful information if you need help.
When to Call a Professional
If a repair involves opening a laptop, replacing parts, or recovering important data, a trusted local technician can save time and prevent costly mistakes. Ask for a written estimate before work begins.
