Smartphones and tablets have become an essential part of modern life. However, they will collect dust when left for a long time in a bag or bag of clothes. And sometimes, this can cause the charging port to stop working. Fortunately, there are a few ways to clean the charging port before deciding to buy a new phone or charging cable.
Steps
Remove lint with toothpicks
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/22/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a- Charger-Port-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/22/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-1- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Power off the phone to prevent damage. Press and hold the power button to turn off the phone. Some phones will have a “Power Off” option in the options menu. Always power off your phone before cleaning to avoid damaging and shorting electronic components.
- Remove the battery after shutdown as an extra precaution.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2f/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-2.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2f/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wrap some cotton wool around the tip of the toothpick. Place the cotton ball or cotton pad on a flat surface. Hold the toothpick at a 20-degree angle on the pad. Hold the pad in one hand and roll the toothpick in the other. Continue doing this until the cotton is wrapped in the tip of the toothpick. [1] X Research Source
- Do not use too much cotton wool, as it will interfere with the cleaning process.

Stand the phone up and tilt it to the side. Place the front of the phone on a flat surface. Rotate it upwards and slightly tilt to the right or left. The charging port should be in front of you and the screen should be facing a flat surface.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/dd/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-4.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/dd/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Insert the cotton swab tip into the charging port. With the screen facing down, poke a toothpick into the charging port. Move the toothpick left and right while pushing up, making sure the cotton doesn’t fall out. Repeat this operation until the debris falls off. [2] X Research Source
- If necessary, blow into the charging port to loosen the lint.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/81/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-5.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/81/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Gently scrape the edges of the charging port to remove lint. Move the toothpick along the sides if any lint is detected. Be careful though, the spring charging cable attached to the charger is located on the sides. If after cleaning for a while there is still no lint, stop. [3] X Research Sources
- If there is residual lint, consider using a can of compressed air to remove it.
Remove dirt with a needle
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/04/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/04/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Remove the battery before cleaning the phone to prevent damage. The phone being turned on during needle cleaning can cause electric shock and damage electronic components. Almost any phone can be turned off by holding down the power button. Then remove the battery to disconnect the power.
- On some phones, you can also select “Power off” from the options menu to turn off the device.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3f/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-7.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3f/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-7.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wrap one end of the needle with double-sided tape. Purchase a syringe with a 2.5 cm long 25G needle. Usually any type of needle is fine, but this is the average length and size. Take a small piece of double-sided tape and wrap it around the tip of the needle. [4] X Research Sources
- Double-sided tape can be purchased from online distributors and stationery stores.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/63/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-8.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/63/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Insert the needle into the left or right side of the charging port. Hold the syringe comfortably as if it were a pencil. Gently insert the needle into the left or right side of the charging port. Lift the tip of the needle to pull the lint out of the charging port. Continue to gently lift the needle until all lint is removed from the charging port. [5] X Research Sources
- Be careful not to let the tip of the needle scratch the charging cable on the left and right sides of the charging port.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/dd/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/dd/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Blow into the charging port to remove any remaining lint. After cleaning the charging port with a needle, blow gently on it to remove any remaining lint. Observe the charging port and check for any remaining lint. [6] X Research Sources
- If you’re having trouble getting the lint out, consider using a compressed air spray.
Blowing dirt with compressed air
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/09/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a- Charger-Port-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/09/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-10- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy a can of compressed air with a straw. Compressed air cans are sold by online distributors, electronics stores, and stationery stores. Be sure to purchase a spray bottle with a suction tube so that you can push the air directly into the charging port. [7] X Research Sources
- Avoid using a can of compressed air for Apple’s lightning charging port, on iPhones, iPads, and iPods.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Connect the suction hose to the nozzle. Screw the small, thin straw into the hose of the can of compressed air. Then, point the nozzle down and press the nozzle to test spray. Compressed air needs to be blown out from the nozzle. [8] X Research Sources
- Tighten the suction hose if you notice compressed air leaking on either side of the nozzle.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Clean-a-Charger-Port- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Clean-a-Charger-Port-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Clean- a-Charger-Port-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Blow air into the charging port for 1 to 2 seconds. Place the suction cup to the left or right side of the charging port. Press down on the charging port and hold the suction tube in place. Press the nozzle for 1 to 2 seconds to blow air into the charging port while the suction tube is in place. [9] X Research Source
- Repeat the above procedure and then check the charging port.
- To avoid damaging the charging port, do not hold down the nozzle for more than 2 seconds. Too much air pressure can break the fragile internal structure of the phone.
