Our Professional Charging Port Repair Process

Free Diagnostic (15 min) — We inspect your charging port, test with multiple cables, check voltage, and identify if it's a port issue, battery problem, or logic board fault.

Cleaning (if minor) — Using professional tools and ultrasonic cleaning, we remove lint, dust, and corrosion from the lightning port.

Charging Port Replacement (45-90 min) — If the port is physically damaged, we replace the entire charging port flex cable assembly with a high-quality OEM-grade part.

Do's & Don'ts for iPhone Charging Port Health

✅ DO's

Clean your charging port gently with a non-metallic tool (wooden toothpick).
Use MFi-certified (Apple-approved) charging cables and adapters.
Remove case before charging — some cases block proper connection.
Restart your iPhone if it suddenly stops charging (software reset).
Visit a professional at the first sign of charging trouble — call 0722256078.

❌ DON'Ts

Don't use metal objects (paperclip, pins) to clean the port — you'll short-circuit it.
Don't force the lightning cable into the port if it resists.
Don't use cheap, non-certified chargers — they damage charging IC.
Don't ignore a loose charging connection — it gets worse over time.
Don't keep using a visibly damaged or burnt-smelling port.
