To fix a damaged charging port, follow these steps:
- Check the port for debris and foreign objects.
Use a flashlight to inspect the port and determine if there are any blockages or any damage to the metal pins. - Carefully remove any visible debris with tweezers.
If needed, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or debris from the charging port. - Carefully examine the charging port for physical damage.
If the metal pins are bent or damaged, you may need to use a thin tool (e.g. toothpick) to carefully straighten them. - If your device does not charge even after the above steps, use a multimeter to test the voltage of the port.
It should read 5V when the charger is connected to it.
