It is very frustrating when your iPhone is not charging. You need your phone for communication, work and entertainment. But when your iPhone is not charging, it can disrupt your daily activities. Of course, you want your iPhone to charge and function normally again. But how do you do that? And how do you prevent this problem in the future? You want practical and reliable advice on how to repair or maintain your iPhone . And of course, you do not want to be faced with high repair or replacement costs. You also do not want to lose important data due to the charging problem. But rest assured, we at leapp are here to help you.
Step 1: Clean the Lightning port
Sometimes there is some dirt or dust in your lightning port. This causes the cable to make a bad or sometimes even no connection and therefore cannot be used. The easiest way to check this is to see if the cable is properly connected to your iPhone. Do you see a small piece between the plastic casing of the cable and your iPhone? Then there is probably something in your charging port. Take a toothpick with a blunt point, so that you cannot damage the electronics in the lightning port and pick out the dirt or dust.
Step 2: Try a different iPhone charger
Try a different adapter? Of course, it doesn't have to be your iPhone that doesn't charge. The cable could also be the culprit. If you see that there are strange angles in your cable, then there may be a cable break, which means that the cable no longer works. As soon as your iPhone works again with a different charger, the problem is also solved. See the iPhone cable selection guide here .
Step 3: Restart your iPhone
Restart your iPhone. Very occasionally, a software glitch will prevent your iPhone from charging. This has nothing to do with your iPhone's hardware. In this case, we recommend that you hard reset your iPhone. Of course, do this after making a backup of your iPhone . Has your iPhone restarted? Check whether it charges or not.
Step 4: Calibrate iPhone Battery
It can happen that your iPhone indicates that there is still 45% battery energy in it, but that it has suddenly shut down fifteen minutes later. In this case, you can recalibrate your battery. This ensures that your iPhone battery indicates the correct percentage again. You do this by first connecting your iPhone to your adapter. And then do a hard reset again. After this, you must charge your iPhone to 100% and then leave it on the charger for about 1.5 hours.
Step 5: Send your iPhone to Leapp for repair
