Phone Not Charging: Causes and Checks
A phone that no longer charges does not necessarily have a faulty battery. Start with simple checks, without forcing the connector.
Check the socket, cable and charger
Try a working wall socket and a compatible cable in good condition. Then test a reliable charger suited to your device. A cable that is bent, has exposed wires or has a plug that gets hot must be replaced. Leave a deeply discharged device plugged in for a few minutes before concluding that it is faulty.
Inspect the port without damaging it
Turn off the phone and examine the connector under a light. Lint can prevent the plug from fitting properly. Do not use metal objects, liquids or excessive force. If the port is bent, corroded or loose, have a professional clean or replace it.
When to request a diagnosis
Charging only in certain positions, repeated interruptions or unusual heating warrant an inspection. If a moisture warning appears, unplug the charger. A swollen battery means you must stop using the device. Diagnosis distinguishes between cable, connector, battery and charging circuit faults before any repair.
