“It’s almost impossible to go through an entire day without charging your device. If you’re having trouble charging your phone, tablet, or laptop, stop by and let us fix the problem.”

Nothing is quite as upsetting as a device that refuses to charge. With your phone or laptop powered down, you’re remain cut off from the world, and being unable to communicate with friends and family would take a mental toll on anyone. It is not news that a high percentage of the world’s population has become increasingly reliant on their smartphones and wireless devices. What may be news is that some of your actions may be responsible for the damage to your devices’ charging port.

If you connect your device to its charger and it remains unresponsive, chances are the internal charging block is damaged. But how could this happen when you’ve never opened up the device to mess around with its components? Well, your phone spends a lot of time inside your purses and pockets, and pocket fluff or other debris may find their way you’re the port of your phone. When this happens, they restrict your USB from connecting directly to your phone’s port.

Other causes of damage to the charging port include pulling on or bending the cable while charging or pushing the charger in at the wrong angle. That often happens with a malfunctioning cable. Although you may think twisting your charging cable in a different position can get your phone to charge, this can cause a short circuit, potentially increasing the damage to your phone. Whatever the reason for the damage to your charging port, we can help you fix it.
