A phone or laptop that refuses to charge is more than an inconvenience—it can grind your day to a halt. At iDenverRepairs, we specialize in charging port repair in Denver for phones, tablets and laptops. Whether the cable feels loose, the device only charges at an angle, or it won’t power on at all, our technicians can diagnose the problem and get you back to 100 %.
Why isn’t my device charging?
Charging issues usually fall into two categories: debris preventing a connection or physical wear of the port. Over time, lint, dirt and dust can collect inside a charging port. Asurion notes that debris pushed in by charging cables can eventually block the connector and stop the phone from working. If the connector doesn’t fit snugly or the device has trouble charging, the cable may no longer be making a solid connection. In other cases, repeated plugging and unplugging can bend or break the pins inside the port, or the port can loosen from its solder joints.
Safe cleaning tips (before you come in)
Before assuming the port needs replacement, try these safe cleaning steps:
Inspect with a light. Use a flashlight to check the port for dust or lint.
Use a toothpick or cotton swab gently. Soft tools like a wooden toothpick or cotton swab can dislodge debris without damaging the port. Be careful not to scrape the metal pins.
Compressed air or bulb syringe. A few short bursts of canned air or a rubber bulb can remove loose particles. Hold the can upright to avoid spraying liquid propellant.
Avoid inserting sharp metal objects or toothbrushes, which can scratch or break components, and never blow into the port with your mouth (moisture can cause damage).
If cleaning doesn’t solve the problem or if the port appears damaged, professional repair is the next step.
Our charging port repair process
Diagnostic & quote. We start by testing your cable and charger to rule out external issues. Then we inspect the port for debris, bent pins or loose solder joints. We’ll provide a clear estimate for cleaning or replacement.
Cleaning & minor repair. If buildup is the culprit, we use specialized tools to remove debris safely and retension the port contacts. In many cases, a thorough cleaning and port reseat solves the issue.
Port replacement. When the port is physically damaged or the solder joints have broken, we replace the charging port assembly. For phones and tablets, this often means swapping a daughterboard; for laptops, it may involve microsoldering a new connector onto the motherboard.
Board‑level repair. Occasionally, charging failures stem from damage deeper on the logic board. Our technicians can diagnose and repair charging ICs, fuses or power management circuits when necessary.
Testing & warranty. After cleaning or replacement, we test charging and data transfer. We also check that wireless charging still works (if applicable) and that the battery accepts charge normally. All qualifying charging port repairs include our 90‑day parts and labor warranty.
