Why does not a phone charge?

There are two levels of severity when dealing with this type of problem. Either your phone will not charge at all once plugged in, or it will charge slowly - almost as fast as it discharges. In the majority of cases, the defective element is none other than the cable. It also happens that the micro-USB or USB Type-C port is misused.

Think about the dust

By dint of being in your pocket, the exposed ports of your phone accumulate little by little dust. Dust that will be crushed and compressed every time you put your smartphone in charge. After a while, this clump of dirt will eventually form a layer that will prevent your device from loading properly.

To deal with this kind of situation, take a toothpick. Turn off your phone and remove the battery - if possible. Finally, try cleaning the inside of your micro USB port. If you can not do it, you can always try to remove the pile with a bomb.

The toothpick method also works if you can no longer listen to music: push it into the mini-jack port and then reassemble it while sliding it on the sides of the port. In this way, you will force the dust to come out. Do not hesitate to repeat the manipulation until the appearance of a bigger ball of dust - without also mistreating the bottom of the port.

This is the method that has solved most of my loading problems or mini-jack, and even if it seems ridiculous, it could well save you a passage to the cashier repairer.

Repair the USB port yourself

Often, the fastest and most effective solution is to make a small adjustment at the USB port. Most of the time, the problems of charge occur following a tiny displacement of the metallic part located inside the port. This deformation thus gives rise to a bad connection between the cable and the telephone.

As with the dust problem, a toothpick will do the trick. Turn off your device and, with the most delicacy, pry up to straighten the metal part. All you have to do is turn your phone back on and check if the problem is resolved.otherwise problem is not resolved

Change the cable, the mains supply or the battery

A faulty cable, it happens, just like a faulty power supply. We do not necessarily think about it, but a simple solution makes it possible to find the element in question. Try your charger on other devices and - if you have one - try connecting your device to another charger. Degradation often occurs when the charger is plugged in without being used, or when the cable is damaged.

Last solution to think about, the pure and simple change of the battery. If the battery is accessible by removing the back of the device (quite rare in 2018), you just have to order a new one to get your mobile to nine. Beastly but important precision: be careful to order the right battery for the right phone.

The high-end mobiles are however often unibody , which means that it is impossible to open them - at least in a natural way, wanted by the manufacturer. In this case, and if you are a little handyman, go to Repairtech mobile service center in Whitefield or specialized forums to find guides and tips specific to your phone.

Use Ampere to identify the problem

Ampere is a free application to identify a faulty cable. Once downloaded, connect your device to the suspect cable. After opening the application, a green text indicating "calculation" should appear. If the text appears orange, it means that the power is not going into your phone.

If Ampere manages to detect the current that passes, various data will be provided. Among them: current intensity, maximum and minimum (in milliamperes). It is thanks to this information that you will be able to determine which equipment is the most suitable for your device. In addition, it will tell if the current sent to your device is too powerful or not powerful enough.

Finally, if none of this works for you, or you do not feel like doing this kind of manipulation, do not hesitate to go see professionals and even to enforce your warranty manufacturer and / or operator.
