In this video, I'll be showing you a way to make your USB-C cable have a tighter fit. I used a straight pin to clean out the port - and it worked! Turns out, this also fixed a problem with the phone not quick charging. It immediately charges rapidly now that the port is clean. Do this at your own risk... Be very careful about putting something in your phone's charge port. Concentrate on the outer portion of the port. It worked for me, but it may not work for you. A plastic toothpick is probably the best bet - something non-conductive. Again, do this at your own risk. Feel free to check out my latest video on this subject. I get a lot of lint out with a bent staple. Impressive! • PHONE NOT FAST CHARGIN...
Also... I am fully aware of "lip smacking" in the video. I have taken steps to not do that in my videos any more. It was a terrible habit... I hate it as much as anyone... The camera I used was right near my face - so the mic picked up every single sound. I hate that the video turned out this way, but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it now. If you're super bothered by it, I hope you end the video as soon as you can.

Hey, everyone. Be sure and check out the other video I did on this same subject. It's in the "more info" tab in the upper right corner as well as in the description box. I did it live with a bent staple, and I showed how much crap I dug out of the port. Thanks!

Absolute legend. Small things like your charging cable constantly popping out of your phone can slowly chip away at our sanity. Since using this magical technique, fewer and fewer of my test results have come back with "psychopath". Thanks so much.

@Longlivedixie7 4 года назад

Man.......you just saved me a buncha money! When it started giving me problems, including falling out, and not charging when plugged in, I took a powerful LED flashlight and looked into the port. It looked clean and fine!! Nothing in there at all. Well, I went ahead and dug around anyway, just to make sure. OMG!! You should have seen the amount of crap to come out of there!! About like yours. I had to dig like 4 times to get it clean. I don't know why a person cannot see the debris deep in the port. Maybe the color it is camouflages it? I have always regularly blown into the port to try and keep it clean. That may have helped delay the build-up, but it sure did not stop it! The cord immediately started staying in after the cleaning, and it even kicked in the turbo-charging function when connected, a function I had not seen work in months! Thanks a BUNCH Matt!! You da' Man!!

Matt - thanks for the video. I honestly did not expect this to work. I used compressed air on my LG V30 and sure enough lint came out and now it's extremely secure. Who knew such a simple fix?! Thank you sir!

@Waskapmutni 3 года назад

This video was a life-saver. I had already tried a toothpick a couple of weeks prior to seeing this. Thought I hit bottom, that there was no dirt, and the problem was the charging port. You saved me a big headache saying a toothpick won't fit. My p20 pro now supercharges again and I don't have to hold it in some weird way for the cable to not pop out. Found this video googling "p20 pro charging cable popping out" and your video was the top result.

@JCSosia 3 года назад

This guy is a legend in my book 🙌🏽 after never cleaning the port on my Pixel for 2 years, it was disgusting. Took the plastic shielding off a twist-tie from an old cable, dug in there, and what in the world. There was so much that came out, and it felt caked on towards the bottom (so gross). I am so glad I found this video

@iamxeracon Месяц назад

You learn something new every day. I had this same problem but thought my phone's port was messed up. After spraying some air in it, the cable stopped falling out. Thanks for sharing your advice!

Wow I didn't realize that much lint could get in there. I even tried blowing it with air compressors and it did nothing. It really just needed this fix. Thanks for your help friend.

@DrChaunceyLivingston 4 года назад

Thank you so much! I used a tack. And at first I was like this definitely isn't working. Definitely had to use more force than I was expecting, but I got a lot of lint out. I've bought 10 cables thinking they were faulty. Thank you for saving me money.

@scottpaul8306 Год назад

Pointed me in the right direction! Took the plastic casing off to get better access for cleaning. Used a staple held with a vice grip. I straightened the staple to make a probe. I also used a pushpin. After digging around the center connector I held the phone upside down and tapped it on the desk. I repeated this process a few times until I didn't get any vent out anymore. That pretty much did the trick and then I also blew it out with a compressed air can, but most of the debris came out using the pushpin to loosen it up and then tapping it on the desk so that the loose lint would fall out. The phone was driving me nuts with it not being able to stay connected. Now it works great! Thank you so much!

Paperclip straightened out worked for me! Thank you! Thought I was going to have to send back my phone!

@redfox05nl 2 года назад

Thanks!!! Helped a lot. I used a filed down paperclip to make it thinner. Make sure you get past the outer ridge of the port, otherwise you think your inside but actually just scraping the top of the port between the phones housing. One side seems wider on mine, a bit odd but be aware. You don't want to force anything and risk bending the middle part of the usb port and damaging it

@PedroContipelli2 3 года назад

Absolute legend. I really thought I had tried it all... until I saw this and realized just how much is in there and just how hard it is to get it all out. If even a little bit still remains, it can disrupt your entire charging process.

@jamilnesby713 Год назад

Thanks dude! My cable started falling out and failing to charge recently and its been such a hassle getting my phone to charge. A couple swabs around the port with a plastic floss pick and it's working perfectly now. 👍🏾

@jonberger Год назад

Thanks so much! I had figured out that pocket lint was the problem, but then I tried fixing it by blowing out the charging port with compressed air, and that didn't help, so I assumed I must have been wrong about the lint. But when I went in with a pin, there was quite a lot of it stuck so firmly to the interior of the port that there's no way the compressed air could have dislodged it. I'm very happy now!

@ralphroza8425 Год назад

I had an IFIXIT kit which I had used on my wife's laptop. It included Angled Precision Tweezers. I used 1 side of the tweezers to clean out the lint and then blew it out with my compressor. Worked great. Thank you!

@JohnBMarti Год назад

Thank you! I had a similar issue with my headphone jack in the past and had used a paperclip to clean it out. But I hadn't thought to do the same thing for the charging port. A paperclip is too thick, I used a staple per your suggestion.

@the.mr.beacher 6 месяцев назад

Thought I had cleaned it out appropriately and was still having this problem. Watched your video and decided I'd try again. Turns out there was some more lint down in there. Works great now. THANK YOU! Amazing how such a little amount can cause such a huge headache. FYI canned air didn't help until I broke the lint free by scraping with a needle. Make sure not to scratch the board in the center. Going to use canned air every few weeks now to keep it clean

@pops6328 4 месяца назад

Thnx Didnt think that little bit would make a difference but it did. Used one of plastic toothpicks that has floss on the other end.

@vecernicek2 2 года назад

My old cables were falling off and I couldn't fit any new cable into the USB-C port on my phone. Never had that problem with any other connector. Well, kudos to you, sir, because you solved a problem entire corporations weren't able to solve. Huawei website says, 'this issue can occur if different type cable is used". Duh. The amount of dust that I got out was incredible, probably 4 times as much as you show here. I also had to scrape it off quite hard, 3 years of collecting dust and pressing it in with a connector have turned it into concrete. The USB-C connector seems to have a major design flaw and thanks to you, we now have a solution.

@stevenlubbers7236 5 лет назад

Thank you. This really helped. It's been bugging me for a couple weeks. I thought it might be dirty but I tried a paperclip previously that I thought was small enough. Obviously it want. The staple worked perfectly. Pretty sure my long was so bad it was draining the battery. Charging was taking forever and it would only last a few hours. Now it charges quickly again. Even with the charger that was plugged in and the battery was still losing power

@Sum_Gai 6 месяцев назад

@gabrieljfox 5 лет назад

Lint was extremely compacted in my port. I first used a bent paper clip and got some lint out and it help the charger stay in a little better. But with a light I could see into the port and there was still lint in there. So what I used was a small safety pin which is stronger and I had to chisel out the remaining lint. I used a safety pin, a can of air and a head lamp. Now my charger goes in like when it was new.

@garnhamr 2 года назад

i've just used the staple but it keeps bending too much, preventing the last bit from coming out. time for a light and safety pin (or similar depending on what I can find). nice

@kevinkentie7540 5 лет назад

@jeffc4066 2 года назад

@noeljr.7724 11 месяцев назад

Hero! I have had this issue for a couple of months now with my S21 Ultra. Sometimes the phone wouldn't register the cable or it would tell me "Check your charger connection" and say "Slow charging". Other times it would just work as normal but I'd really have to jam the cable in and then be careful as it was always loose and would fall out easily even if I moved the phone slightly. It was really annoying. Found your video. Got a sewing needle from the drawer and couldn't believe the amount of pocket lint that came out. I had tried a toothpick already but that only picked up a very minimal amount of lint although that did work in the past with a non USB C phone. All good now and the charger cable is staying in. Thank you so much. Have a great day.

@texasdavedotcom 5 лет назад

I usually don't miss solutions like this, but I totally missed this. My problem was gradual; i equated it with "Wear and Tear." I'd used compressed air a couple times, but no real improvement. Last night i decided "this is ridiculous" and found this video. I initially tried spraying with DeoxIT (electrical contact cleaner) and a plastic floss pick, then switched to an eyeglass screwdriver. Between all of that, the chunks of lint started to fall out. I got it CLEAN for the first time in months, apparently, because suddenly the USB-C cable inserted firmly and wouldn't flop out, and I had full charging and data connection. DOH! Thanks for making a video to point out the obvious. Sometimes the obvious solution is THE solution.
