Why doesn't my mobile charge

Android battery status

One of the worst problems users can face is that the battery of your device does not last as when we buy it due to the use we make of it if we have not yet contemplated the possibility of changing it.

If we don't go out much of the house, there is no major problem, since we can connect continuously to charger. But what if it doesn't load? The thing is complicated and quite. However, if you want to solve this problem, I invite you to continue reading.

Blows into the loading port

clean charging port

Sometimes the simplest solution is the most absurd. The charging port of a mobile phone is a hole where you can insert any type of lint that you have in your pocket, purse, backpack ...

But, in addition, you can also hang any other element that covers the charging pins of the charger. The first thing we should do when we load the device and it does not respond is blow on the charging port energetically (preventing any spit from escaping).

Another option is to use a ear stick to clean any dirt that is stuck to the charging ports to make sure the charging port is completely clean. Chopsticks are not recommended or other sharp elements if we do not want to cause a major problem in the loading port.

It does not matter if the port is USB-C, lighting or microUSB, the problem that all the holes of a mobile have is the same for everyone, it does not make distinctions by ports of loading or by manufacturers.

The same goes for headphone connection. The headphone connection is another sink where much of the dirt from our environment collects.

The charger does not work

The first thing to check when our mobile does not charge is that the charger we use regularly continues to work. Although it is unlikely that they will stop working (they have a very simple working mechanism), it is likely that they have passed away.

The best way to check if the charger we use regularly is still working is use it with another device. If it does not load, it is clear that the charger has passed away and we must use another one that we have stored in any drawer (surely you have more than one).

The cable does not work

Not all charging cables work the same way. Some cables with a microUSB connection only allow us to transfer data from a computer, but they do not have enough power to charge the device.

The microUSB cables that allow you to transfer data as well as charge the device, have a wider and bulky area on the cable. If your mobile phone has stopped charging with the cable that you usually used, look for another cable that you have at home.

In the case of USB-C cables the same thing happens. The USB-C cables that manufacturers include with their devices are the best allies to avoid charging problems with the device, since they all allow us to transfer data and charge the device.

If you are not using the official cable that came with your mobile, you should use it to get rid of the charging problems that your mobile is presenting.

Use wireless charging

If your device supports wireless charging and none of the solutions that I have shown you above it works, you should try it. If you don't have a charging base of this type, surely a friend of yours does.

We also have the possibility of buying a wireless charging base (there are of all prices) and return it if we cannot charge the device.

Wireless charging operation is completely different from traditional loading portTherefore, if the connector is loose or has dirt, it will not interfere with the charging process through this method.

Smartphone charging port

One of the problems that has always affected the type of microUSB connection is soldering. Some manufacturers they don't pay special attention on how important this device connection is.

As it is not a reversible connection, as if the USB-C type is, most users always try to connect the cable in the wrong way, pressing with the cable on the port. When they realize it doesn't fit, then they turn it around.

Over time, those unsuccessful attempts to connect the cable to the microUSB port, affect the soldering of the charging port and begins to move, to take slack.

The easiest method to check if the charging problem that our mobile presents is related to the charging port is connect the cable and move it slightly. If we find a point where the device starts charging, we already know what the problem is.

The solution, unless we are handymen, is through go to a technical service to re-solder the charging connection or replace it if it cannot be re-soldered as sometimes the pins that hold it to the motherboard have been broken by incorrectly pushing the charging cable.

Battery has died

swollen battery

A few years ago, many of us were users that when our phone started to last less than usual or we knew we were going to have a hard day, we bought one extra battery to replace when needed.

It should be remembered that, at that time, the power banks that we can currently find on the market were available to very few. Currently, replacing a mobile battery requires us, in 99% of cases, to go to a technical service.

If the battery of our mobile has completely died, when we connect our smartphone to the charger, it you will not be able to confirm us (through the screen or through the notification led) that it has been connected correctly and that the charging process has started.

Before reaching this point, the device has most likely displayed the typical symptoms related to battery drain as a much shorter duration than usual, if the battery has swollen ...

The solution to this problem is none other than contact any technical service to replace the battery. If you were planning to renew your mobile, it is probably not worth the change, especially when you want to make this change using the official support of the manufacturer.

If you want to save money, you can go to any technical service you have in your neighborhood and replace for about 30 or 40 euros, the battery of your device.
