Tried all your tips! The wood toothpick did the trick. What a difference, the cable went in much further and had the little tick. I could feel some softness in the port, probably sawdust. Saved me from sending it in for repair. Thank you so much.

My god! I have had my phone for like 2 years now. For about 1 year i have struggle with the charging thinking it was poor quality cable that made it charge so bad and made the c connector laggy. 10 new chargingcables and this clip appear random when i was looking on yt and now all my cargingcables work perfectly and no laggy c connector anymore... Just a quick roting with a toothpick and it was like new. Jesus christ! Thank you so much!❤

I was having problems charging my Huawei P20 Pro. The charger was not going in fully. I watched this video. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much! I used a toothpick to clear out the port which I'd never done in over 18 months. I could not believe the lumps of dust that came out (actually, I should have known). Now it's clear of dust and the phone is now charging as if new. Thanks again. 10/10.

On the point of giving up with my Lenovo laptop, which has a USB C type power charger port. We thought for sure that we were going to need an expensive repair, after getting the back off the laptop and seeing that the port was soldered to the board. Tried with a plastic toothpick as a last resort - wish I'd done this first. I didn't even see any fluff or anything come out, but it clearly cleaned enough to allow contact again. Thanks so much for your video.

Your my savior! Used a toothpick to get rid of the fluff inside of it and it worked, now I can hear that satisfying click sound when the charger and my phone get connected, but just one advice, I recommend using scissors to make the toothpick even thinner so you can scratch even deeper without touching the middle.

Been wrestling with my charger for ages now. Knew it was my port because all the chargers worked with my wife's devices. Finally had it and watched this.

I had gotten some dust out small particles but when I did the dried rubbing alcohol I got a small lint ball out and now it's working like a charm

@thudson391978 5 лет назад

@felicial7628 Год назад

This video helped me fix my port! Mine was getting very hard to charge. And, I was looking at maybe trading it in or maybe cracking it open. But, I just did not want to do either of those. And, I had not thought about cleaning it. My problem is my iPad with a USB C port. It turns out, it did not have lint in it. So then I got a green Gum brand interdental brush (tight fit) and some alcohol. I poured alcohol on the cover for the Interdental brush and covered the tip with my thumb to keep the alcohol from draining out. Then, I dipped the brush in the alcohol and cleaned the port. The brush was small enough to fit in and it has a little joint on it to help it move freely. And, it pulled out a lot of dirt or oxidized metal. And, now it charges. Who knew?! House hold quick fixes could save so much time, effort, money, and stress!

Just goes to show perseverance pays off. I was getting tired of all those clean the usb port if it's loose videos. Then in a last ditch effort I used a toothbrush like you said and cleaned it with lots of lens cleaning fluid. And it worked!!!! The was no lint but maybe the port had a bit of invisible build up on it.

The toothbrush with disinfectant cleaner worked for me. Not only does it stay connected, it went from slow charge to rapid charge. After a couple days watching the rapid change fade back to a slow charge, I realize the true fix was liquid existing on the connection. If I put any liquid or even lick the connector, I'll get a rapid charge for a few hours. Same principal works on batteries and I can get an extra month out of them.

I used some alcohol to moisten the tissue paper and make it soft, then I pulled it out after rubbing enough times using lock-pick hook. The cheat buggers were charging me from replacement of Charging port to the whole assembly including mic/vibrator etc. Apparently all it needed was simple cleaning which I realized thanks to your video :) . Thanks a lot, please continue this work.

Glad it helped! and good use for the toothbrush! takes the hard work out of the job

Skipped all the steps went straight to the toothpick and it did the trick! Mostly just a fluff that's gathered at the end which is stopping the connector making a full connection

@mikesunboxing 3 года назад

awesome, hopefully much better now?

Thanks for the tips! Worked really well. Another video I watched recommended using a needle but I think your way is less likely to damage the phone. I didn't have the cleaner so I used 70% rubbing alcohol. Also had these plastic toothpicks called Doctor's Brushpick that were amazing for this. The wood ones splinter too quickly. I turned my phone off so instead of turning it on every time to test, I kept working on it until the usb cable fit well without a wobble. It took like 30 minutes for me. Guess I really packed that dirt in, so don't give up people if it doesn't work right away!

@mikesunboxing 2 года назад

Glad it helped - and yes, that dirt gets very compacted inside there sometimes!

Google pixel2 XL was barely charging, the cable fit too loosely, new cable didn't fix it. The toothpicks (cocktail sticks) with alcohol did the trick for me. I had thought to use the sticks without alcohol before viewing this, help a bit, but the addition of alcohol with multiple passes all around the connection did the trick. Thanks so much, I was about to look into a new phone!

Thanks thought my port had worn out metal contacts. Got a wireless charger. This video will sort it tho 🙂 In old days I bent the micro usb port with metal safety pin, but more room now with usb C so easier to get round it to clean. Also reason why has blocked up probably. Good stuff cheers!

@mikesunboxing 4 года назад

Done that myself 🤪

2 things Mike. Recommend cleaning with open port 'down' to use gravity assist to drop out unwanted materials when cleaning and dusting, and also use a proper electronic component cleaning spray instead of generic screen cleaner if possible. Cheers.

@MaXxOwnagesMel 8 месяцев назад

his video is about household items, theres a chance people have screen cleaner in their homes, but if they have an electronic component cleaning spray as a household item they likely weren't the target audience for this video

05:10 OMG! Mike's using the whole arsenal of weapons - that's a _declaration of war_ to the USB-C charging port.

haha yeah i was fully prepared for war!

@daniellemhall1358 3 года назад

I think my phone is just broken. I tired my tooth brush and hardly anything came out and the charger wiggles violently when I put it in. I think your methods are good, but I maybe just need a new phone. Update: I left it alone a little and it's actually charged! Hopefully I won't have so much trouble in the future. Thank you. Merry Christmas to anyone reading this, BTW

@mikesunboxing 3 года назад

Hopefully it has helped.... Merry Christmas to you too :-)

@TopHatNinja68 4 года назад

Thank you! Toothbrush worked really well it's not perfect but I mean I don't expect a toothbrush to fully remove concrete.

The toothbrush did it for me! Pixel 3a would only charge when off...which was weird. I had tried the toothpick and saw some debris, but the toothbrush was the thing that worked best! Thank you.

Hi Mike, I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH IM THANKFUL TO U,-- BECAUSE OF UR VIDEO I GOT MY IPAD BACK TO LIFE. I had a very similar and a bad experience with my 14 month old ipad pro. My ipad wont charge beyond 1%, strange as it sounds. Was devastated when the guys at apple service center told that its an hardware issue(defective USB C port), and that ipads cannot be repaired and only replaced which would cost me ~ 600$. Was utterly disappointed as the ipad was just 2 months beyond its warranty cover and as many of us, had not opted for the apple care+. Desperate to find solutions, i spent days on doing research on internet and youtube and tried every possible tips and tricks, with no success. UNTIL I CAME ACROSS UR VIDEO. I'm sure the problem with my usb c port was not the dust accumulated, cuz i had tried all those tricks multiple times and had no effect. The trick that made the difference was- with the Cable ties / zip ties. I checked plugging the ipad after each trick and ipad wouldnt charge but after this step, it magically was. and now ipad is back to life. 100% charged. I could save all my important datas. All thanks to ur video without which I would have never THOUGHT OF OR TRIED this step with the cable ties. I dont know what in that step that was different or made the trick, but I m grateful and glad that it DID. Now ipad charges seemlessly as before. God bless u Mike. keep making such videos which do really help people in real need and a hope. THANKS A TON. P.S - I have already subscribed and shared this video links with my other friends for them to share. ;-)

I don't have a toothbrush, I been using electric and can't go back to a normal one but I suppose normal toothbrush might be handy cleaning tools for stuff around the house. I use an ESD brush to clean bike parts.

Thank you! My oneplus 7t stopped warp charging over a month ago. I guess I was being to gentle when I first try to clean the port. There was a lot of stuff cramed in there. I upgraded to the 7t(downgraded) from the xperia xz 2 premium because my xperia stopped fast charging...yup. xperia works again also lol thank you!!

How do you tighten the port from rocking forward and downwards? Is there a way like USB ports in computers that there are flaps on top and bottom you can bend a bit to make the port tighter?

@mikesunboxing 4 года назад

no there isn't sorry

@josephbower1566 3 года назад

@greenleaf35 4 года назад

One of the best things I found a use to clean ports is the packaging from the clear little window you cut a fine pointout of it and use that that way you can make it a small or as large as you need to and it's all truth in so I can get next to the connections on a micro USB or type c

@mikesunboxing 4 года назад

good idea! thanks

@johnburien4391 2 года назад

@metal422life 2 года назад

The thing that I absolutely favorite for doing a port clean out is the toothpicks that they use for braces it's got a flexible end and it's got a little rubber rippers on the end that make it just perfect put a drip of rubbing alcohol down the port let it sit for about 2 seconds and then go out with the toothpick meant for braces

@mikesunboxing 2 года назад

good idea
