i never comment or like videos on youtube. and high key thought all these comments were bulls**t but holy thank jesus mother mary and god because you saved my life!!!! my ipad is old as hell and so much of my info (pictures specifically) i thought i would lose! IT WORKED. IT ACTUALLY DID! i might clean it once more tomorrow but literally was crying all night thinking i lost everything. saved me from replacing it, going to see apple support or geek squad and saved my tear ducts. im so thankful i found this video!!!! anyone reading comments, this is the real deal. so easy… maybe not so quick depending on how dirty the port and charger is… but oh my god it worked! thank you thank you thank yooooouuuuu!!!!!

Hey thanks mate. Just bought myself a 2nd hand Bose sound and tried my old 30 pin iPod classic that hasn't worked or charged for years. Even to took the dock apart. Still nothing.

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...

@DarkRoastRecording Год назад

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.

@DarkRoastRecording 3 года назад

You could try using a pipe cleaner, the bristles might dislodge the grains

@larsonfamilyhouse 2 года назад

Try holding a vacuum to it and maybe try duster too. You can use an anti-static brush or an unused brand new toothbrush

I use a magnetic charger (the one that glows) and doesn't work, is there any way you can make a version of this except for people who use a magnetic charger like me?

@katrinadoyle9635 3 года назад

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

@zac.bolin01 3 года назад

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.

@zac.bolin01 3 года назад

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.

Would the lead from a mechanical pencil work in absence of a wooden toothpick?

@valerievoigt 6 месяцев назад

No, it would deposit graphite on the contacts and make the problem worse.

@DarkRoastRecording 5 месяцев назад

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.
