THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!I have SEVERE anxiety and I woke up and my new phone wouldn't charge, I tried cleaning the USB and even though I couldn't see any gunk come out IT WORKED! It worked before I could work myself into a panic and wake my BF up and piss everyone off to start the day so THANK YOU! YOU saved my day off. I'm sure my family is also grateful not to have to be woken up to me in hysterics as well.

[@jdcrackin5082]

Thank you so much for this.. I didn't realise that the very little bit in my usb port stopped my phone from charging that way, i just been putting it on a pad lately. This documentation WAS VERY HELPFUL !!!! I can charge my phone again NORMALLY !!! YOUR A LIFE SAVER :))

[@granjmy]

There are people on eBay who charge very reasonable rates to repair charging ports, screens, replace batteries.

[@MrYoumitube]

You just save further months of stress, time & money. Thank you. I found a nice portion of lint inside the port after constantly being inside my pocket. Charger now connects again!!

[@mrknowitalllt1]

I did the steps and it didn't work my phone keeps heating up once in a while

[@brigoose7945]

Sadly this didn't work on mine.

[@syarifahnajwa5491]

Mine too😢

[@joshrgaming2606]

I use a needle, I find a toothpick to be too thick.

[@Sawickipedia]

Fair enough and that's probably what I would normally use. But if I did that in the video there would be some clever person out the who manages to short out the USB connector because the phone is still on. 🙄

[@mattfrazer3278]

Hi there I have UMX phone older one the new one work at all waiting for Quality to send me new one, is there A way to charge the batter or the whiole phone gone for good thanks from Canoga Park, CA

[@lindaroman3560]

[@arlenedevilla7639]

Never mind it stopped charging again

[@thamisbrown1475]

I had to remove and reinsert my battery to get my phone to charge.

[@user-kh4zl5im1g]

Mine too😂

[@cjinpa5713]

My phone seems to recognize the cable going in but only shows how much battery is left and won’t charge. It’s a tcl android. Any advice would be helpful. The port seems to be clear. Nothing came out with my toothpick. I’ve tried every cable with plugging it in to a portable charger and it still won’t charge.

[@radartheoryofficialpage3403]

Having this EXACT issue.

[@ct_kyra1900]

SAME

[@cjinpa5713]

@@ct_kyra1900 I had to just get a new phone. Maybe a new battery would’ve worked but it was just as much as a new phone so what the point. A pain in the rear moving d dry thing over but got the insurance plan for two years so if it happens again they can just give me another.

[@warriorwaiting316]

Same. Someone bought it for me and it's junk! It doesn't register that it's charging when it's on for some reason! But I've tried three different cables, different outlets etc,. Then I left it off and charging last night and it didn't charge past 20 something % like why

[@cjinpa5713]

@@warriorwaiting316 get what you need off it and leave it off so you have enough battery to transfer your stuff to a new phone. I had3% so it got most but definitely get a new phone and get it set up before you lose anymore battery. I can’t even turn it in to factory reset now to sell in one of those old phone kiosks. Hopefully you’ll still have enough battery to wipe yours.

My spark nokia 3.1 the battery works a few minutes then stops charging?
