I cannot stand when cables don't plug in, or they go in but fall out. Sometimes you have to hold them "just right" or else bumping it will stop your phone from charging.

Don't do it,it's a trap. I had one & it put a bend in my charging port because the cover pushes down on the cord. Much simpler just to keep cleaning it out. If you're going to be in a dusty environment put your phone in bag,like a waterproof case or zip lock bag.

Thanks man! I tried this multiple times on different devices and it never really worked. I read a comment here saying it took 30 minutes or more, so I decided to really put some time in it. After a long session of poking and gently scraping, I did see multiple really small bits of lint fly out the port or they were stuck on the tip. They weren't as satisfyingly big as in your video, and I even started to doubt if my OnePlus 5T's port was made from metal on the bottom. It really looked like everything was cleaned out. I just kept pokin' that port... Sure enough, my phone can hang from it's cable again and dash charging gets recognized immediately. Years ago I even bricked my old HTC M8 since I moved over to a piece of metal to scrape the port. Although it's not really recommended, people still mention it. NEVER use metals to pick that port folks. A toothpick like in this video does work, 100% Take your time. THANKSSSSSSS

@camshand 4 жыл бұрын

thats great to hear! it can be super packed in there so you were right to just keep scraping. it's so rewarding when you can dangle it from the cable once again haha!

Thank you so much for your suggestion of shaving down a tooth pick. I have a OP 6T that I've had since launch and the charge port has become so loose it was very difficult to get the cable to stay in even when laying flat on a table. It had a LOT of wiggle to the cord and I was worried the connector inside the port was damaged, I had tried multiple USB C cables. I had tried using a tooth pick and was able SOME of the gunk out. I hadn't thought of trimming it down to be thinner so it could reach in the curved sides. Thanks to your guide I now have a perfect snap when I plug in my cable, and the phone can hang upside down from the cable with no wiggle.

You are loosing views because people that start to play your video in offices (or any shared space) have to stop your video because your background music is turning people's offices in dance parties while its being played. It really would be nice if we could hear your instructions without your music blaring out our speakers just as loud - PLEASE TURN DOWN THE BACKGROUND MUSIC LEVEL WHEN YOU MIX YOUR AUDIO IN WHILST YOU'RE SPEAKING - you mixed it in nearly as loud as your voice from the video file. Please mix background music in at 15%, at most, while you are speaking in the video. When you're not speaking (if you feel you MUST have loud music you can then increase the music's level and you won't cause people to have to stop watching your video because the entire office has become a discotheque.

Pro-tip - just tighten your power drill down on one end of the toothpick, sandwich the pick in sandpaper (grit in toward the wood), and turn the drill on to quickly sand the toothpick down to size - no knife needed, much easier! You'll obviously need to do something about the sawdust that is produced, but you should be able to clean that off with some alcohol.

Excellent advice! I'd attempted various types of improvised scraping tools, but none were nearly as successful as the whittled-down toothpick. It's so obvious in retrospect, but wasn't apparent to me before seeing your vid. Well done! Worked flawlessly - I had to make a second toothpick after the first one broke on a stubborn bit of packed-down lint, but it was simple to do twice. Plug stays in just fine now.

Thank you so very much! For a few weeks, I thought that I had to replace the USB-C connector. There was a piece of wood preventing the charging cord from going in all the way. I'm so very grateful for your video!

can i just say, how mond blown i actually am, i was like there is no way that dust or some other crap is making me mad that my phone is not charging, but clearly theat was the case. Even if youre sceptical, just try this thing, it took me 3-4 minutes

@camshand 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah dude I'm shocked everytime I do it as to how much lint comes out. makes the port as good as new everytime

@TheLotanos Жыл бұрын

I started cleaning the lint and there was really a small amount and I was disappointed. Then I tried to charge my phone and it worked like magic. You're a genius!!

Literally took me a minute to pick out all the lint inside my phones port and now it's working perfectly!!!!

After 10 tries I took an led flash light and looked inside my usb c port and guess what I saw. A super flat big ass piece of lint at the very bottom of my port. I took a plastic tooth pick and progressively plucked it out. Took my 20 minutes because the damn thing was so embedded in the bottom of the port, felt like it was stuck with glue or something but i FINALLY got it out. Bam! working port. Thanks for the video my friend, you helped me out a lot.

Thats awesome you go it out! I too use a flashlight to check if the port is reflective or blocked by lint still. It's Crazy how much can get in there! Glad you fixed it and you now know how to fix it in a year or so when it happens again lol 😂

I was getting desprate, shops wanted me to leave the phone, minimum charge of £25 etc. Your fix works so easily and costs one toothpick. I was going to use a paperclip!!. Thanks so much. Keep safe.

Thanks so much! I was almost crying when the file transfer wouldn't work with a 1-year-old phone. Now it does. But I needed to use another cable, too.

Oh dude I was the same, spend about a year with my Nexus 6P, holding the cable a certain way, changing cables all the time thinking they were all wearing out. Then just thought I'll try clean it, it's crazy how much charging your phone can annoy you but once you fix it it's so good haha 😁 remember to spread the news, toothpicks are the answer haha, thanks for leaving the comment 👍

Thanks alot! I can't believe it's such an easy fix! My phone intermittently disconnects while charging, been bothering me for weeks, thought it was quality issue, tried different chargers but same result, in the end it was all because dirt building up inside the port! I should've watched this video earlier!

@vikashmayrhoo5639 2 жыл бұрын

This was actually a great help. I was about to use a pin and I stopped and clicked play and remembered metal is bad lol. The toothpic worked good. There was legit sand in my charging port. My charger was not staying plugged in before and now it's like new

Here in 2022 and was having problems with a loose charging connection. Tried wear your said and got so much lint out and now works so much better. Was having the same issues with connecting my drone ad it uses the same connecting port, fixed that as well. Cheers for this brother!

Easy enough I thought I needed a new USB-C port for my phone. But after doing these steps it seems to work fine again - I used a throw away Chinese take-out food chopstick instead but it worked, just more shaving. Tons of lint inside the port, now the cable grabs on tight again. Much appreciated!

Thank You Cam! I've got a Motorola G7 Power, USB-C charging; it's only 15 months old. Charging went from 'Turbo Charge' down to 'slow charge only' (with the usb plug falling out of phone) over the last 30 days. I finished watching a guy unglue & take his phone apart on KZfaq to fix his USB-C phone port. Not my thing. I watched your video & cleaned my charging port with a Flexiflosser. It works again! I didn't realize how much crap got in there. Thanks again!

Still wanna thank you man. This has been an issue ive had for years and using cotton swabs without the cotton werent working. A regular toothpick didnt do too much, but shaving it down got it all out pretty much in the first two tries.
