A dirty charging port can prevent your smartphone from charging properly.

Here’s how to clean it:

1. Gather Supplies #

• Soft-Bristled Brush: A small, soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush) is ideal.
• Compressed Air (Optional): Compressed air can be helpful for removing stubborn debris.

2. Turn Off Your Phone #

• Safety First: Turn off your smartphone before cleaning the charging port to prevent electric shock.

3. Remove Debris #

• Use the Brush: Gently brush away any visible dirt or debris from the charging port.
• Compressed Air (Optional): If there’s stubborn debris, use a can of compressed air to blow it out. Be cautious not to use excessive pressure to avoid damaging the port.

4. Inspect for Foreign Objects #

• Check for Obstructions: Make sure there are no foreign objects stuck in the port that could be preventing the charging cable from making proper contact.

5. Test Charging #

• Plug In: Once the port is clean, plug in your charging cable and see if your phone starts charging.

Remember: Avoid using sharp objects or wet cleaning methods, as these can damage the charging port.
