The state of health of your mobile’s battery is essential to guarantee autonomy at the end of the day. However, on several occasions, it is possible that the loading of this one is erroneous or even non-existent. WhatWhat to do if your iPhone won’t charge? Here we show you different checks that you can perform.
With each passing year, the internal components of the iPhone – and smart phones In general, they are more powerful. And it is that the requirements of the different applications mean that these must be the most recent on the market. Therefore, smart phone batteries need to be larger and meet any user demand. Now well, one of the most common mistakes with batteries is that they may not charge. And the reasons can be many.
Before doing any checks and to make sure it is indeed a charging port failure, if your iPhone supports wireless charging, check that the smartphone Apple reacts to wireless charging. If so, we leave you some solutions to the problem of charging with cable.
The charging port may be dirty
It’s not absurd. And it is that the charging ports of the iPhone are one of the least protected hardware parts of the Apple mobile. In addition, we must add to this that we usually carry it in the pockets of our pants, in a backpack, bag and even leave it on surfaces that can be dirty.
And that’s why the port can get dirty and we don’t realize it. Therefore, we recommend that you proceed with its cleaning. Always use non-damaging utensils. For example, you can use compressed air, a toothbrush or use a light blow on the port. This will cause the dirt to come off and the charging cable to contact the pins.
Change the charging cable on the iPhone
Another possible reason why the iPhone does not respond when we charge it is that the cable we are using is not in optimal condition or has simply stopped working. That’s why if you have another cable, try to try it. The connector of the old cable may be damaged and the connections with the iPhone are not correct.
Besides, manufacturers generally recommend users to always use original cables –or certified and compatible cables– for the loads, as well as the charger. The charging powers can vary and with another we can end up damaging the useful life of the battery. Nothing else happens, but it will have us spending money on a replacement sooner than expected.
As you well know, in the iPhone settings and specifically in the battery section, you can know what is battery health status of your model. If you notice that its optimal state is dropping too quickly, do not wait and bring it to an official technical service as soon as possible. It could be an error with the battery mounting your device.
Perform a Factory Reset on iPhone
My smartphone it is a miniature computer. You will have noticed that over the years the efforts that can be made from the mobile have reached unsuspected limits. In short: we can do it all. And like any computer, occasionally it may become overloaded and stop working properly.
Apple – and other manufacturers – recommend on many occasions to practice the famous reset of the terminal to be able to let it function correctly. And the battery charge may be affected by this issue. Likewise, the same manufacturer recommends that after reset the iPhone, leave it plugged into a power outlet for -minimum- 30 clock minutes.
Do not use low power USB ports
Another reason that can prevent your iPhone from charging the battery is that you are using a USB port that does not have enough power to offer the necessary energy for the smartphone to be charged.
SO, check that you are not using the USB ports of an accessory such as a keyboard, For example. Also check that the charger you’re using really works: try using that same charger with another piece of equipment and see if the latter reacts to the charge it receives from the cable.
iPhone stops charging at 80%
Another possible case in the wide world of battery charging is that it reaches a maximum load of 80 percent and at this point the feed stops. It is due to overheating in the mobile. And so that the battery does not reach extreme temperatures and can continue to provide optimal service, charging will only stop.
As soon as the temperature drops, charging resumes. But if you want to avoid this situation, try to charge the iPhone in a well-ventilated place and the ambient temperature is not very high.
The iPhone has already been wet
Many terminal failures are caused by accidents. And one of the most common is that the smartphone has gotten wet. Also, it may not have come true completely, but in the middle of our daily commute, it started to rain and water accidentally got into the charging port.
Therefore, before proceeding with your download, wait for a moment and do not charge the mobile and above all do not turn it on if you do not want the internal circuits to suffer irreparable damage. Also, never use a hair dryer because the extreme heat and the possibility of water spreading over multiple components portends a less than happy ending.
Therefore, before proceeding to recharge the iPhone, dry all its components with a dry cloth. And in holes like the Lightning port, use an ear stick. Although an interesting solution is to be able to use anti-humidity bags and immerse the terminal in them.
If None of the Tips Work and Your iPhone Won’t Charge the Battery
As we told you before, it is possible that the error is from the factory and that the charger or the cable that came with the iPhone is not working properly. Therefore, if none of the tips we left for you work, it’s time to use an official Apple service with your iPhone, charging cable and charger. Once in an official Apple establishment, they will be the ones who will assess what happens to the charge of your terminal.
