Having trouble with your iPhone not charging when plugged in can be frustrating, especially when you need it the most. Don’t worry! This comprehensive guide will walk you through 27 effective fixes to get your iPhone charging again. Let’s get started!
1. Check the Charging Cable
The first thing to do is to check your charging cable. Look for any signs of damage like fraying or bent connectors. If the cable is damaged, try using a different one.
2. Inspect the Charger
Ensure the charger itself is working. Plug it into another device to see if it charges. If not, the charger may need to be replaced.
3. Try a Different Power Source
Sometimes, the power source might be the issue. Plug your charger into a different wall outlet, power strip, or USB port on your computer.
4. Clean the Charging Port
Dust and debris can accumulate in the charging port, blocking the connection. Use a small, soft brush or a toothpick to gently clean out the port.
5. Restart Your iPhone
A simple restart can often solve many issues. Hold down the power button and slide to power off. Once off, turn your iPhone back on and try charging it again.
6. Force Restart
If a regular restart doesn’t work, try a force restart. For iPhone 8 and later, press and release the volume up button, then the volume down button, and finally hold the power button until the Apple logo appears.
7. Update iOS
Sometimes, a software bug can cause charging issues. Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
8. Check for Water Damage
Water can cause charging problems. Check for any signs of moisture in the charging port or around the phone. If your iPhone has been exposed to water, let it dry completely before attempting to charge.
9. Use Original Accessories
Non-Apple charging accessories can sometimes cause problems. Use original Apple cables and chargers to ensure compatibility.
10. Try Wireless Charging
If you have an iPhone 8 or later, try using a wireless charger. This can bypass any issues with the charging port.
11. Reset All Settings
Resetting all settings can resolve software issues without deleting your data. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
12. Check Battery Health
A degraded battery might not charge properly. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health to see if your battery needs replacing.
13. Enable Airplane Mode
Turning on Airplane Mode can reduce battery usage and sometimes help with charging. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or down from the top right corner on iPhone X and later) to access the Control Center and enable Airplane Mode.
14. Remove Case
Some cases can interfere with charging. Remove your iPhone from its case and try charging it again.
15. Check for Temperature Extremes
iPhones are designed to work within certain temperature ranges. If your phone is too hot or too cold, it might not charge. Let it cool down or warm up to room temperature and then try charging it.
16. Turn Off Background Apps
Background apps can drain your battery quickly. Double-click the home button (or swipe up from the bottom and pause on iPhone X and later) to see open apps and swipe up to close them.
17. Restore from Backup
If software issues persist, try restoring your iPhone from a backup. Connect to iTunes, back up your device, and then restore it.
18. Contact Apple Support
If none of these solutions work, it might be time to contact Apple Support. They can provide further assistance and check for hardware issues.
19. Perform a DFU Restore
A DFU (Device Firmware Update) restore can fix deep software issues. Connect your iPhone to a computer, open iTunes, and follow the instructions for a DFU restore.
20. Check for Bent Pins
Look inside the charging port for any bent or broken pins. If you see any, you may need to have the port repaired or replaced by a professional.
21. Use a Different Charging Method
Try charging your iPhone through a computer USB port or a car charger. Sometimes, these methods can bypass issues with wall outlets.
22. Disable Optimized Battery Charging
Optimized Battery Charging can sometimes cause confusion. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and turn off Optimized Battery Charging.
23. Try a Hard Reset
For some older models, a hard reset can help. Hold the home button and power button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
24. Check for iTunes Error Codes
If charging through iTunes, check for any error codes and look up solutions specific to those errors on Apple’s support site.
25. Inspect the Lightning Connector
Ensure the lightning connector on your charging cable is clean and undamaged. Even a small amount of grime can interfere with charging.
26. Use a Certified Charging Station
Certified charging stations are designed to work with your iPhone. Non-certified stations may not provide consistent power.
27. Replace the Battery
If all else fails, it may be time to replace the battery. Batteries degrade over time and replacing it can solve charging issues.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and fix the issue with your iPhone not charging. Good luck!
