My port is clean and works with a new charging cord. Can I do anything to make the cord itself work again or are they just throw away items?
oh, a tutorial that works. thank you tech man 😊
Thank you this helped me a lot, now it really clicks in!👍
Dude this 100% helped me I was 1 more dead phone in the morning away from throwing the phone at a wall
Lol, we've all been there. Glad it helped
Right now I've got the same issue domt worry😂 I'm trying to fix mine rn
I threw my phone at a wall. It broke
Great tip. Whay I used to clean mine was a toothpick that I whittled down to a thin, wide end with a bix cutter. It let me get the perfect size tool very easily.
Thank you for your great demonstration. IU cleaned the port but it didn't help much. It's looking like bad oxidized contacts in the phone side connector.
Every video mentions dust/dirt in the port. I cleaned it out and there was a little but did not make any difference . My charger just falls out easily and I cant find any other advice other than cleaning it. Am I just screwed ?
I have the same issue. Like the charger isn't big enough for the port, and it quite literally falls out unless I mess with and prop it. I think they get worn down faster, and the inner port shrinks from usage, and I think the charger expands from colliding
@@perspectivesdiversifiedfie6949 I'm gonna try squeezing the end of the cable, c side, lightly with paper-wrapped pliers. Maybe the pins just need a little help. This video is for someone...more challenged.
Just that simple way and it works great! I´m wondering why I didn´t found it by myself. So its a tiny little shame on me ;-) . Thanks man! Greetz from Germany
For people who want to fix the normal usb end (opposite end): bend the middle of the usb a bit by pushing it between your fingers. Now it sits stiffer inside the charging adapter.
OMG-just ordered new lead, was gonna get a new phone, then read this an an you saved my life-how much do we depend on these phones!
-HUGE THANKS
Thanks a lot brother. 🤟 its working 100%. i was thinking about to change my charging jack. thanks for saving my money. love from india
had to comment cause this helped me so much thank you I was getting so aggravated with my charger falling out with the slightest movement there was pocket gunk not lint you sir are an Internet wizard much appreciated
I bought some covers on amazon. I used a plastic toothpick with alcohol. Blew it out with a can compressed air cleaner for keyboards. Now it connects good and does not fall out.
This is the majority of video on TH-cam dirt in the female end of the device but what happens when you clean it out and it still doesn't work then it would be the cable itself right? and no one has a vid for that. cleaned it thoroughly and still have the same problem but when I get a new cable it clicks in well.
me too
Yeah it seems like it's always the cable that's dead
I am in this same boat.
nooo i already ruined my fast charger
Same
I want to tighten my charging port not dirt
its dirt that is making it loose
@F. Tonkonst yes, it really is
@@BiggieTickle no
@@fieryneil7750 it is
@@BiggieTickle it isn't ur pins on it might be down
This did not work for me but heres what I did to fix my loose type C android charger cord ...I took the end that connects to the android phone charging port and placed the (silver part only) on the edge of my wood shelf ( a flat 90° edge) and gently tapped on it with a metal padlock ...turning the cord over and tapping on this side also. The cord will fit snug into the charger port. At first it will feel like it wont fit but be patient while connecting it..it will work. When I did this...I heard it click into place. I was able to hold the cord with my phone connected and like MAGIC it did not become disconnected. I hope this helps
I dont understand
@@memoryrinehart4452 me neither
*I used one of those flat toothpick flossers from the dollar store.. they come like 50-100 in a pack.. worked great for me!!*
i like your southern "Gone With the Wind" accent.. notch it up with a wider smile.. keep positive, you have great potential.. best wishes :-)
Wow, that's probably the nicest comment I've ever read. Thank you for that. I genuinely really appreciate it.
I can't believe it was this simple all along. This worked.
Worked straight away! Thank you 😊
Gave you a sub too!
Talks for ages then says "I'm not gonna drag this out" at 1.40 🤣🤣
Heheh... "you can put it in both ways"
Been waiting for someone to catch that 🤣 thanks for watching!
Can you not do that
@@chillerclan4580 - I can do whatever the fuck I want.
@@pterafirma fuck you nigga
@@squinjt no , fuck YOU nigga
Tried this and got some dirt out but then my phone wouldn't charge at all. Went back at it and pulled a pea sized dirt ball out of my C port. Works like a charm now. Thank you.
Very helpful information.
Tank you for helping me clean my phone charge area now when it’s the video about fixing the cable coming up?
Thanks. An old credit card sounds alot better than a toothpick.
Guys, if you tried this and still not charging because you wiggle the cable. You'll need to lower the 2 prongs inside the usb c slot (top or bottom). Over time, the prongs dont apply pressure to the port. So just push them down with a toothpick or something. (Non metal)
Great video!! Thank you. New sub :-D
I have a brand new Samsung 1 week old. The connector is awful and it's clean. Re: the video: how about vacuuming it out?
Omg!! I know it's 2yrs now, but thank you so much. Ur video as help me Thanks again😊
I'm glad it still helps people
@@TrentPierceProjects Yeah!! it does. that's how it goes when you put out good content years after years it still helps. Huge thanks again
Cleaning the ports is a must for any device but what I've done to get a better connection is to take a very thin strip of tape of almost any kind and wrap it around the base of the tip that goes into the device. Some trial and error may happen to find the right fit. You may have to discard the tape and cut a different sized piece a couple of times but I've found it to work every time I've attempted once I get the right size piece of tape and everything fits snug
Thank you this worked great
I needed this info so badly ! thank you
Perfect solution. Lint has never been the problem in my case. . .it's always been the male connector losing the ability to remain tight over time.
I have a brand new Android that I purchased last month and am using (2) ANKER cables. I tried to blow the cables out with a can of compressed air. Still having my phone connection working intermittently. Any other suggestions?
Wow bro
It works great . Thank you
100% Worked thank you 🙏
just pulled out a bunch of pocket lint......works great THANKS
It's not a connection issue, not dirty, the metal C bit is a little bit loose but last night my charger when was plugged in started freaking out saying its charging not charging, now it doesn't work at all, do I need to buy a new cable?
Excellent video and your accent made me homesick for SC, TY.
How to clean on the cable port?
THE WAY YOU TALK IS REALLY AWESOMEST AND VERY COOL AND WHAT SHOWS YOU ARE AN HONEST, CARING, AND LOVINGLY SUPPORTIVE PERSON WITH REALLY POWERFUL POSITIVE ATTITUDES TOWARDS YOUR CHANNEL, OFCOURSE ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SUBSCRIBE YOUR CHANNEL SO DO I DID DEAR.
KEEP GOING HAVE A GOOD TIME AHEAD ALWAYS👍👍👍👍👍
great video! thank you
can canned air be used to clean out the port
You could certainly try. I don't think it would hurt anything. Just make sure to hold it a few inches away to keep it from freezing anything in there.
@@TrentPierceProjects Make sure your canned air isn't flammable. Some products use butane as the propellant. You don't want to spray butane into your phone as it could find a live wire and cause a fire.
Great advice James. This should certainly be considered if you are using canned air.
A live wire... In Cellphone? Uhh no..
I use a cotton swab cut in half and use the plastic part. I cut it at an angle so it has a pointed end. Also, the swab is hollow which traps some of the debris.
So for the male plug on the cellphone, is it strong and won't come loose?
THANKS REALLY A MILLION TIMES BRO. INDEED BRILLIANT IDEA👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✌✌👍👍👍👍
great tip to use a bit of old credit card.. it did the trick perfectly.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much bro you've save my life 😢😢😂
Never have I felt more dumb for not thinking of doing this. Especially with how well it worked
Love the new branding! Can a loose cable be repaired? As in, an old doesn't stay connected but a new cable will. Thanks for the vids!
That's a good question. I've explored that idea, and I need to do a little testing. Not sure if the male part of the cable is repairable, but if it is ill definitely add a video for it.
This
Thankzzzz bro its helps me
idk if you will see this but the tip/gray part of my charger literally cut loose like it broke out if you understand what I mean, is there any way I can fix that?😅
No and if you tried you would only damage your phone
What if the phone and charger are clean and lint free? I have accidentally dropped my phone while charging and then the charger has not stayed in properly since then? I have tried other chargers and they won't even work. Its and crappy phone just need it to work for a little while longer any ideas?
This video says "Repairing a loose charger cable". Now that I've swept out the phones charger port, when might we learn how to fix the 12 feet of charging cable (complete with silicone, Glow in the dark insulation) that is now a bona fide clothes line now?? With approximately 11 feet and 11 inches to spare, I'm quite interested in making a better connection to my phone's charger port. Thank you for all your tips btw, and please don't take my frustration personally, I just hate user-UNfriendly tech fixes. TIA! 👍😉😁
This worked way better than I thought it would. I'm normally pretty careful about my charging port, and I've tried cleaning it out in the past. Evidently I didn't try hard enough, because I got a lot of gunk out this time. It was pretty packed in (probably from months of being packed in by the charger). I had to really scrape at it (I used a small piece of an old gift card), but it got out and works just like new. Thanks, man!
This was very helpful, but the actual usb-c cable that came with my Samsung Galaxy S10+ just SIX WEEKS AGO, stopped working, (!!!😬☠️😶🧐😤😐💀👎🥀👈💀😶🚮🧐🌒🌑😳🥀😬😤) so I had to purchase another one. Luckily the one at Walmart for $5.88 was certified hi-speed and I am VERY HAPPY with it! But I was just curious if there was any way to fix the old one as I used fix my old USB cords for fun. Thanks for a great video!
Amogos
thx tech man
Good to know thanks for the ideas
Hate phones w/ plug on bottom. Old LG had grommet connected to side port 👍. I need to replace charging port.
Can we get a video for fixing ports that children seem to "blow out" from shoving the chargers in and yanking out. I've bought my 5 year old four tablets in less than a year, all because the ports are no longer able to hold the charger, no lint or dirt. They will take a charge, but even with a brand new charging cord, I still have to "McGuyver" the port and charger to keep a connection. I am currently using a Gatorade lid to charge my son's less than month old Kindle.
I home school, and tablets are used daily for schooling.
Which tablets do you use? It depends on the type of port but I’ll be glad to look into it.
@TrentPierceProjects A couple of them were the Onn brand at Walmart and two are from Amazon, Kindle.
Thanks!
Good: you recommend using a non-metallic object, where others suggest using a needle. Bad: video is way too long, others are typically 2 mins or less.
See my problem isn't really the phone, because I get a new cord, it's not loose and it goes in firm (lol) it's frustrating because I am going through so many cords.
Now how do you fix it if it's not the port it's the cord just buy a new cord there's no way to fix it? I have a cord for my house and record for my car my car works just fine but the one in the house does not and I can't keep taking them back out before cuz I need the one in my car but I need the one in my house
Hey man, i have the Nokia 7 Plus and i am racing an issue where when i put in my charger, and it moves slightly, it stops charging. My charger is good, but i think the charging port is loose. I tried the tips from this video but it did not help me, do you have any tips for me, because im desperate🥺
Ur literally god how could you not know
Excellent
I wished this helped. Have any other recommendations?
thanks
What about if the cable's USB C masculine part is loose?
Buy a new cable
So I have done this and nothing came out. There is no dirt or dust and it is still loose.
Tq its for very usefull
Thanks bro
You're welcome
Mine's clean but still loose. Dealing with dirt is the obvious part. What makes it loose even when it's clean?
too much intercourse
I have the same problem
The tiny metal clips inside the phone port are worn. It happens over time. Annoying i know
They are junk when they are brand new, very poor design
Bro i cleaned out the port and it still isnt charging but will when I bend the charger back really hard and start warapping the cord around the phone.like its loose butvi took the phonw apart and made sure it wasnt loose so im just gonna replace the port as it was only $9 on Amazon. This is on a lg stylo 5(I know a POS,lol.)
@2:00, that's the male port...
Also, very informative. Ty.
I have tried this and it didn't work are there any other reasons why it won't work
I fixed my phone thank you
Another thing that might help is applying Isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide with cotton swabs on the pins in the connector. Since sometimes the pins get covered in gunk and can't make a good connection
BUTTTT,from me missing and fighting. And sang dangling it over a year's time it appears that male part has scraped the shiny plastic off round the female,and looks to me melted across her prongs and the female wiggles up and down used to charge at angle now nothing,as for no dirt and Lint it's always had a good case with rubber gaskets on the holes and as habit I always shut then
Does this apply to tablets
Everybody talks about lint in the socket but my usb-c is clean and the connection is still hit and miss. I've come to the conclusion that a usb-c connector is just very poorly designed.
Same❤
-white rice!!!
LMMFAO 🤣😂🤣
1:43 he finally gets to the point
Cool thanks
uhm what if the charger whole is broken? what to do
Wouldn't it be possible to blow a couple of puffs of canned air?
My cord clicks in but wiggles and tnerefore no secure connection to charge. Phone batt is drained even when plugged in to be charged...
Its probably the top/bottom prongs and dont apply pressure.
Why don't more videos like this simply suggest compressed air?
thing is i got a slow charger not loose. it fits snug. always an issue with charge time. and i know the easy fix is buy a new one but thats becomming a monthly thing. i bet i spend a few hundred a year on chargers.
ooof, so thankyouuu
Good video...a bit too much non important verbiage in beginning
My hole is Lint n dirt free thank you very much
Uuh my type C charger is loose ans it can bend but it dont charge so how could i fix it
I took pliers and gently pressed the longer sides together and its charging now. But don't press hard at all
but why did it work on the other charger? but my own Don't
Aw man every single one same old phone charging port and nothing for the charger cable.. really thought finally maybe this is it.. oh well..
The fix starts at 01:40
It worked
No lint. Just a crappy connector. 🙄
If i shake my phone it falls out and it charges slowly
My phone charges for other chargers but not mine, I'm not sure why
Clean the cable
No dirt in mine , still charges but moves up and down a little
Same
Over six minutes to say, "Clean the port."
