Thank you ❤ It’s taking a while, but I really do think this is working. Every time I check, it’s a lot easier to charge! I think I’m only gonna have to clean lightly one more time and it’s gonna be fixed ❤ I really thought it was broken and I was gonna have to buy another iPad. This is the only video I can really say works! Thank you!

Thank you. I was having to press anew cable to charge my IPad Air 3. The toothpick eliminated the problem. Now it again charges without pressure. The cable has not had time to get bad as it is new, but I bet the older one can be fixed, too.

Wow! After talking to service people at Apple and another at Geek Squad, who stressed either just buy a new one or have it serviced, I used a .045" bass guitar string to clean my port. I got the battery logo now. It was totally unresponsive before. Update soon...

careful with that bass string, the metal may scratch too much. I used a toothpick cause the wood wont easily damage the metal contacts inside the port.

You’ve probably fixed it or gotten rid of it by now a month later LoL but just in case you’ve had no luck, try alcohol pads, like little square ones you can get in the pharmacy for cheap, use to wipe screen protector, greasy cases, and especially for the magnets, wipe smoothly once or twice both pieces where they connect, and also check the USB end of charger where it goes into wall use his tricks with the toothpick in the usb part where you put it in the box and also the box part and then plug it all in and see if that helps, worked on our school magnetic charger

I’ve got dirt in the cylinder I mean the place where you like put the charger in

If your charger like goes vmmm vmmm vmmm and doesn't charge consistently... before you get a new charger clean out your charge port. I twist up 1 ply of a tissue and clean it out usually. And... yeah clean your charger too just kinda like lick the tissue and kinda like scrub the little charger thing.

The reason for the tissue is that sometimes if you have your phone around while you're eating and Spill stuff on your phone it can get sticky.

do not use a pencil tip to clean, use a toothpick. its sturdy enough to get deposits out, but soft enough not to damage the metal contacts. Only use the ERASER of the pencil, (or any other eraser) to clean the cable contacts, not the inside of the ipad/iphone

Simply put, if you follow what i show in the video, you wouldn’t damage the device. Also, you wouldn’t do this fix unless something was already wrong with your device to begin with. It works, read the other comments of ppl who tried it. If YOU don’t want to try it, that’s totally up to you. It’s YOUR device.
