Bro I've searched high and wide to get my shit to work and this is THE ONLY VIDEO on the internet that's helped me. This dude should have 156K likes for this
I just want to add that this worked for me! I have been bending my charge cord for months to get a good connection for my ipad to charge and I was about to pay to get it fixed until I finally found your video today. You are the best! Cheap packing tape is a lot less expensive than going to a repair place.
Was about to give up on my phone, charging point was full of lint since it was in my pocket all the time. Did not know lint could get in until I saw your video and cleaned my charging point with a toothpick and it did the trick. Sir, you are an Angel. Thank you very much for your help.
Had the same issue on our son's iPad air and my Iphone 6S Plus, was considering replacing the lightning port myself on the iPhone and having our son's done professionally as they are harder and the iPad connection was much more loose, 4 pieces of scotch tape later both charging up and no more loose connection! What a great time and money saving tip! Liked and Subscribed.
I’d tried every cleaning hack I could find and still my phone would only charge when the charger was at a certain angle. I was starting to think I’d need to pay for repairs or even a new phone when I found this video. A tiny strip of insulation tape later, my phone charges just like it did when it was new! You saved my ass here, dude - thank you!
Thanks, Carl. I did not want to use tape to fix the problem, so I thoroughly cleaned the charging slot with a toothbrush. I put sanitizer on the toothbrush (because I knew it would evaporate fast, thus not causing water damage). I could see the gunk on the toothbrush and cleaned it off with toilet pape. Voila! No more charging problems. Hope this helps others.
Lifesaver of a tip- thank you so much for sharing! This is my second time watching this video to fix my phone. I used the electrical tape this time and it works even better. ❤️
Tape worked! I used clear plastic wrapping tape. First I made a template by trimming a piece of paper to size with scissors. Then I used the template to create the exact size for the tape. Thanks!
bro thank you so much, this is an ipad pro, the newest one, and it has a TERRIBLE loose charger port, and this helped out so much. tysm bro, ur a life savior.
@@CarlPugh update: the first time didn’t work, and just recently i tried to fix it but i put tape over ALL the sides, top, bottom, left, and right. the problem is that it has a VERY TERRIBLE loose cable, like, it didn’t charge at all. and even now with it taped up (every spot/hole) its still not 100% fixed, more like 85%. but seriously though, thanks. i heard its around 100$ - 300$ to get it replaced, and thats a lot.
Yeah my iPad Air 5 just out of warranty and the tape works but not a long term solution. How do they charge so much for something that last for a year 😔
I couldn’t find what to do when there was no dirt on the port but the connection still was loose anywhere but here. It may not be as “permanent” as I would it to be, but it’s a big noticeable difference with no cost. Electric tape was a bit too thick, but the clear one worked wonders. Now I actually have to try a bit to unplug it rather than accidentally unplug it every minute. Big thank you.
3 pieces of scotch tape and you’ve saved me $1099 plus $125 gen 2 pen (bc gen 1 pen doesn’t work with new iPads) plus tax plus the time of setting it all up! Wish all 765K viewers you’ve had on this video could send you $1 or more each!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 🤩
Oh my God! We cleaned my son’s iPad port several times. Yes, wiggling the charging wire around did work for some time, but Presto, as I too thought the problem was exactly what you pointed out. By placing two pieces of thin tape into the port, the connection was reestablished, and is now charging. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What an awesome advice this was..Thank you so much, for a year I was having trouble with the charging...I could have never imagined that there would be so much dirt in the port that it would make a layer inside to make the charger loose...the toothpick advice worked like a charm..it feels like new now..Thanks man for this video.
Thank you so much for showing this brilliant idea! I was not sure what to do as I didn't want to spend $90 to have the charger port replaced. Before this video I watched someone change the port themselves but with so much to take apart it seemed difficult and then I came across your video. I put electrical tape and bam my phone is charging perfectly thank you again!!!
Omg! I have been battling my charging port for 4/5 months. My ex stole my phone and I was left with a older 6 plus given to me by a coworker. I have just about lost my mind dealing with this plus the stress of a break up and needing to relocate. It’s hard to make important calls with a broken phone. This is going to save me money and eliminates the stress of not having a properly functioning device. I plan to buy a new phone after the move. Thank you so much❤
Thank you sooooooo much for this! Every iPad I have ever had has eventually developed this issue, and my son has actually replaced the complete iPad for me more than once. I wish I had known about this years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ✌️🍾
Excited to try this, thanks for the tip! My 6s barely charges anymore without jiggling it around, and putting pressure on the cable in a particular position, the cable just falls out when upright. I even cleaned it and I’m using a legit apple lightning cable.
Thanks! I am fixing an iPad with this issue and I think it is an Apple refurbished model. It seems Apple may use your same technique. At first I was using some tools to remove the debris in the port. Then a black plastic looking piece started to come out. it was pretty big but seemed to disintegrate when i pulled on it. So i removed it. Now I am thinking that is what they used to try to make it more snug! The side clips now work to "snap" it in, but there is still a lot of play up and down. The tape should solve that.
Basically brand new phone, started doing this out of nowhere, I did the first method cuz that's all I could find to try and fix it. I can't believe the tape method fixed it 🤦🏻♀️😂 thank you so much!
This worked so well! Used a glasses lens cleaning alcohol wipe on the end of the paper clip to dissolve some of the funk that had built up. Now the charger sticks in the port like new!
Bruh I was just about to take my phone into a repair shop or something but then I saw this video I was like theres no way some lint got into there. Two seconds later and here I am to testify I took out a good sized piece of lint and my phone is charging perfectly fine again. Thank you so much lol
U just saved my whole phone with the tape thing honestly it was becoming a real problem. Every time the wire or phone was even touched it would go crazy with the charging because of the wiggling but the tape is working great 👍
Great video! I was on the interwebs looking for instructions on how to replace the charging dock on my iPhone 7. It looked like a scary process and I've already replaced the battery on it, so I'm not a complete noob! But a toothpick and about 10 minutes of digging and now the phone charges just fine!. Thanks!!!!
Carl, you are a legend! I was worrying about my phone doing intermittent charging to completely stopping and found this. I actually used the strip of a sticky label and folded it over and luckily my phone case holds the paper in place so no chance of losing the new perfect fit. First ever comment I think, but I had to thank you. Lockdown is a tough time to find anyone to fix your phone but its sorted thanks to you! Again, a massive thanks to you mate! 👍
I tried the clear tape I doubled it in layers to make it strong and put it in my charger cable now I don’t have a loose charger thank you so much dude!
THANK YOU !! My iPad has been driving me insane , even got new chargers 🙈then worked out it was the port didn’t want to risk taking things apart ...you deserve a medal ! 🙈😂💕
Wow. I’ve been so frustrated I was just looking on Amazon to buy a $400.00 refurbished IPad mini. Decided to look on TH-cam and found this video. Problem solved ! Can’t thank you enough. Used black electrical tape. Can’t believe it.
Cleaning out all the gunk using a toothpick worked. With the phone facing up I always had to push the charger in the port upwards so it makes better contact with the pins in the phone. Cleaning all the fluff out helped. So much crap stuck in there ! Cheers!
Thank you so so much! My phone wouldn’t charge and I called Apple and they said I had a loose charging port but didn’t know how to fix it without using money! I had to fold my charger and all just to charge my phone! After I used this method I was so happy thank you!!
Thank you so very much for this! I have an iPad that isn’t terribly old and lately it didn’t seem to be holding a charge, then figured it wasn’t charging, bought new cords, new cubes, tried cleaning port, rebooting, everything. I found your video and only info to do this tape fix. It took plugging a couple times but now it works every time. Thank you, thank you!
Another saved repair for an older eye phone 6. A retired auto tech with a huge understanding of terminal pin fit. Yes, it must be clean, also use an approved charge cable that is 6 feet long. Always unplug the cable when transporting, it just strains tiny metal terminals. This is the equivalent of someone grabbing 6 different hairs on your (Place Part Here) and pull on them all day with a gentle weight constant. Hurts a little, but will drive you crazy. The connections to charge the battery and a certain amount of battery management system is on the back side, opposite of the screen. Try the packing tape thinnest first, move up from their. Thanks for this clear video that is presented in a way everyone can get-r-done
OMGGGGGG 😱 was struggling for so many days was going to stamp on it with frustration but dint coz my husband paid for it and he would stamp me. Thanks so much so easy and quick
Toothpick didn’t work but the piece of tape....wow!!! That’s crazy such a simple fix and it actually worked. I was worried I’d have to pay hundreds for a new phone or repairs. I was so frustrated since I really need my phone at all times. Thank you!
Bless you for this! No longer will my family be driven mad by the unending bloops of my iPhone charger disconnecting and reconnecting.😭 ❤️ TIP! Depending on the brand you might want to steer away from electrical tape. I first used Scotch Super 33+ but it left a lot of adhesive gunk behind and pulled out as soon as I put the case back on. 😓 Regular clear tape worked fine, ironically.
Scotch Super33 is extra stretchy and sticky rubber resin -PVC tape....excellent for high voltage electrical work, and self-sealing connections, but cheap “vinyl” electrical is “stiffer” and usually less sticky.
Damnnn thank you so much I knew I already cleaned the inside. The tape work immediately on my iphone 6s This literally is life saving I dont know how will I survived this quarantine if it weren't for this video.
Just tried this on my iPhone 8; it worked wonders, my charging port is now working as if it were new. I did it with the blue masking tape: thank you soooo much man
Thanks @Carl Pugh! The charging port on my iPhone 7 Plus had become loose to the point of the lightning cable falling out very easily when plugged into the port. This fix worked great. I didn’t have any clear packing tape available so I went with the electrical tape. Works very well. Thanks again.
So after my iPad was still charging fine yesterday before I unplugged it, this morning it just wouldn't charge at all. I tried resetting it and cleaning out the port, I have to say that the lightning cable do feel like there's some play when plugged into my new iPad compared to when it's plugged into my old iPad 4, so trying your piece of tape method is now going to be my last attempt fixing it before admitting defeat and traveling to take my frustration out at an Apple Store. If it works I guarantee to be your newest and most loyal subscriber because you would have saved me a trip of over 400 miles.. So wish me luck, and hopefully I'll be your most loyal follower very soon!!
My lightning port was becoming really lose and become a pretty bog problem, the tape definitely fixed it for now, i would have never thought of that, thank you 💯 😂
Carl you are a legend. Thank you so much for this. The stress you’ve saved me and so many others is immeasurable. Subscribing is the very least I can do
Thanks, man. I'm quite handy with fixing iPhones and iPads, and had cleaned the lightning port of my iPad Mini 2 very well already.. But it wouldn't charge. It would just jump from charger connected, to nothing, to charger connected, to nothing.. I thought maybe I messed something up when I installed my new digitizer, but it turns out it was just this... 'Loose' (or 'roomy') charging port. The electrical tape made the difference :) Not the prettiest solution, but it works. And it's easily replaced for no money at all when the tape comes loose eventually. (Pretty much every piece of technology I own (including power tools) has had a 'not pretty but it works' fix like this along the way. And they work fine for years after. So it fits the rest of my stuff ;)) Sincerely; thanks a lot This has saved me a lot of money and, more importantly, got my iPad Mini working again (and consequently; all my music / DAW files back. I use that thing to make music, since my iPhone alone doesn't have enough storage for all my apps) Cheers from Amsterdam
dude you saved me from having to replace my charging port with the tape trick, thank you soooooo much..you don't know how many cords i f@%ked up while bending them in order to be able to charge my iPad .......thank u so much
Thank you so much for this! These are the only instructions I have found that actually got my charging port to work again. Everything else either said to clean the port or reset the phone, which were not fixing the problem. Now I can listen to my metal music again! :)
This just worked on my kids iPad, thanks 🙏 I bought a new lightning cable with no luck, about to give up and trade the iPad in but this trick works great 👍🏻
There was belly-button lint in the charging port and I vacuumed it and blew some compressed air in it to get the lint out - thanks, you saved me from paying to get a new charging port installed!!!
You are really a great man to upload this video and help others to fix the phones by themselves instead of paying huge money outside and regretting ! Thanks for this upload mate ! ❤️
Thank you! Apple told me that my phone could not be repaired. I couldn’t charge (except wirelessly) or use ear buds. This fix is exactly what I needed!
Thank you sooo much, my daughter was taping the connector to the front of her phone every morning before school, it was a pain in the you know what..and I didn’t want to use the glue version to thicken it..this was perfect!
A consumer paying $999.00 for a product shouldn’t have to put electrical tape in the product because it’s worn out. Apple products are designed to fail, and the repair costs are close to or exceed the replacement costs. Loyal users will almost always opt for the newer model. Which are released at least annually.
Thank you so much! Such a simple fix for such an annoying problem! 🤬 2% left when I stumbled on your video!!! 😵💫 My headphones now no longer come out of the jack when I’m running also!!!! so it’s a double win for me! If the toothpick and paper clip do not work, people can also try tipping a very small amount of 91% isopropyl onto a small piece of cotton and using tweezers to clean the prongs on the phone as well as the charger. Just give it time to dry before plugging back in of course!
Amazing, worked perfectly on my iPhone 7 which used to need to charge at different angles and would only work with certain cables (official cables tried) thanks for this 👌🏾🤟🏽
Omg thank you so much for posting this. I was worried that I may have to get a new iPad 2 but this little trick worked soooooooo well and super quickly. can't thank you enough.
Cleaned the port got a ton of lint out. Cable was still loose though. Used the tape like you showed. My charging port works perfectly again. Thank you for the video!
This guy is a legend, he’s still liking comments after 2 years 👍🏾

Nope, my port seem completely dead, waiting to hear what Apple says about it
My lightning port was becoming really lose and become a pretty bog problem, the tape definitely fixed it for now, i would have never thought of that, thank you 💯 😂
Sir i push changer pin in the hole. Tape is going the hole
Carl you are a legend. Thank you so much for this. The stress you’ve saved me and so many others is immeasurable. Subscribing is the very least I can do
the tape method is really worked for me, im so happy tysm !
Well after buying numerous charging cords and cleaning the port on my iPad the tape did the trick! Thanks Sooo much!
I just fixed a 6S plus with this method, impressive, thanks!
You are awesome. Fixed my iPad Air 2 from fixing which should cost around 100 euros. Now 1 cent of self adhesive and problem fixed. Thanks
Oh my gosh thankyou you're a life saver the tape trick worked!
Thanks, man.
I'm quite handy with fixing iPhones and iPads, and had cleaned the lightning port of my iPad Mini 2 very well already..
But it wouldn't charge. It would just jump from charger connected, to nothing, to charger connected, to nothing..
I thought maybe I messed something up when I installed my new digitizer, but it turns out it was just this... 'Loose' (or 'roomy') charging port.
The electrical tape made the difference :)
Not the prettiest solution, but it works.
And it's easily replaced for no money at all when the tape comes loose eventually.
(Pretty much every piece of technology I own (including power tools) has had a 'not pretty but it works' fix like this along the way.
And they work fine for years after.
So it fits the rest of my stuff ;))
Sincerely; thanks a lot
This has saved me a lot of money and, more importantly, got my iPad Mini working again (and consequently; all my music / DAW files back. I use that thing to make music, since my iPhone alone doesn't have enough storage for all my apps)

After 35 years we're back to blowing into the 21st century version of the Nintendo Entertainment System.
😝😂🤣
This guy is a legend, he’s still liking comments after 4 years 👍
The fact that you're the only source on the internet with this trick. Not on Reddit or anywhere on TH-cam. It's sad that this is not more known.
dude you saved me from having to replace my charging port with the tape trick, thank you soooooo much..you don't know how many cords i f@%ked up while bending them in order to be able to charge my iPad .......thank u so much
Thanks. Worked for me. I used clear packing tape. Charging and data transfer all fine.

1st try with the electrical tape and BAM, that insanity driving dinging is gone. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this! These are the only instructions I have found that actually got my charging port to work again. Everything else either said to clean the port or reset the phone, which were not fixing the problem. Now I can listen to my metal music again! :)
This just worked on my kids iPad, thanks 🙏 I bought a new lightning cable with no luck, about to give up and trade the iPad in but this trick works great 👍🏻
Bro you are a life saver! I had SO MUCH lint in my phone port, and i told my parents that i needed a new phone soon! Guess not! Thank you so much
pure genius. what a simple, but world class video
There was belly-button lint in the charging port and I vacuumed it and blew some compressed air in it to get the lint out - thanks, you saved me from paying to get a new charging port installed!!!
Wow! The tape hack works wonderfully! Thank you so much!
You are really a great man to upload this video and help others to fix the phones by themselves instead of paying huge money outside and regretting ! Thanks for this upload mate ! ❤️
thank you !!! , on a iPhone 7+ , I used the tape to acctually clean my port , and then used the tape trick to charge . Brilliant , thank you mate !!!
Great Video On iPhone Repair. It's nice to see a good POV to further my knowledge
Thank you! Apple told me that my phone could not be repaired. I couldn’t charge (except wirelessly) or use ear buds. This fix is exactly what I needed!
Thank you sooo much, my daughter was taping the connector to the front of her phone every morning before school, it was a pain in the you know what..and I didn’t want to use the glue version to thicken it..this was perfect!
Thanks so much. This worked like a charm. You saved me $500 for a new iPad.
A consumer paying $999.00 for a product shouldn’t have to put electrical tape in the product because it’s worn out. Apple products are designed to fail, and the repair costs are close to or exceed the replacement costs. Loyal users will almost always opt for the newer model. Which are released at least annually.
Electrical tape did the trick for the loose lightning cable. Thank you for sharing!
This helped me so much! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Such a simple fix for such an annoying problem! 🤬
2% left when I stumbled on your video!!! 😵💫
My headphones now no longer come out of the jack when I’m running also!!!! so it’s a double win for me!
If the toothpick and paper clip do not work, people can also try tipping a very small amount of 91% isopropyl onto a small piece of cotton and using tweezers to clean the prongs on the phone as well as the charger. Just give it time to dry before plugging back in of course!
Amazing, worked perfectly on my iPhone 7 which used to need to charge at different angles and would only work with certain cables (official cables tried) thanks for this 👌🏾🤟🏽
Omg thank you so much for posting this. I was worried that I may have to get a new iPad 2 but this little trick worked soooooooo well and super quickly. can't thank you enough.
OMG TYSM IT WORKED YOUR THE BEST
thank you, saved me $1000 to buy a new iPhone. the tape worked for me.
Huge improvement for my mini2 charging problem. Not 💯% fixed but definitely an improvement! Thanks a million.
Cleaned the port got a ton of lint out. Cable was still loose though. Used the tape like you showed. My charging port works perfectly again. Thank you for the video!
