in a perfect world every time you plug
your charger cable into your phone or
your tablet it should instantly start
charging but what do you do if when you
plug it in it doesn't start charging or
when you wiggle it around it starts
buzzing and starts connecting and
disconnecting well in this video I'm
going to show you one simple little tip
that might actually get your phone back
up and running let's go and what is that
tip it involves these yes toothpicks
we're going to use toothpicks to clean
out the Lightning port but this works
for USB C ports or USB micro or mini or
any other port that you may have and
even your headphone jack and there's
another video I'll link up the top and
in the description about your headphone
jack and how to clean that out but for
now let's grab a toothpick and see if we
can clean this out so that we don't get
these loose connections happening that
we've got going on now so we'll unplug
the cable there we will grab just one
toothpick we should only need one or two
to get this done and what we're going to
be doing here the reason that the
connection doesn't work a lot is that
sometimes little bits of stuff of crud
and other pieces of lint and things
especially if you keep this in your
pocket are going to get caught up in
here so if we just start digging around
in here what we're going to find is that
there's going to be a little bits of
dirt little bits of dust and other
little foreign particles that are
actually blocking up this port so what
I'm going to do here is I'm going to
continue doing this look at that yeah so
you get a big chunk like that that's
going to be blocking the cables ability
to connect so if you look at that you
think oh that's only a tiny little bit
but what we're going to do is I'm going
to go through and I'll continue this and
I'll clean out this whole port and we'll
see how much of this gunk is in there
and then we will test it out and see if
we get a more secure connection with our
lightning cable
[Music]
so after about five minutes of digging
around that you can see how dirty the
ends of these toothpicks are and look at
these piles of crud that I've got here
these are all big chunks of Pocket lint
and other bits and pieces that were
caught in there and you can imagine that
if you're trying to plug in something
like a lightning cable or a USB mini or
micro or USBC cable and these are
sitting on top or in your socket yeah
it's gonna stop the pins from actually
connecting and it's going to cause those
problems like not connecting at all or
where it connects and disconnects
because every time it moves around a
piece of crud is getting in the way now
why do we use a toothpick well it's to
make sure that we're not doing any
damage to the socket so you do need to
be super careful doing this don't go and
cram it in there or use anything
metallic that could show down anything
or could cause some serious damage in
there the other thing that can work with
this is compressed air so if you have a
can of compressed air that can often
blow it out some of these particles but
once again be very careful with this
because you do want to make sure that
you're not causing damage and I'm not
gonna be able to take your
responsibility if you do cause damage to
your phone or your tablet but let's now
plug this back in and see how it's
working now that we've done this so
we'll move our dirty toothpicks out of
the way there and then we will grab the
cable plunk it back in and there we go
we are ready to use this phone and now
that's a nice stable connection there
it's going in nice and tight it's not
going off and on so we can move the
cable around it's not gonna pop off and
on so if you've ever had that problem
where you plug it in and then it keeps
going because it keeps connecting and
disconnecting this is one method that
may help you out now it's not gonna
solve every single problem you may
actually have some sort of other
problems so please if this doesn't work
for you if you try this out and you
choose to try it out at your own risk
and it doesn't work then consult some
professional help but there you go I'm
gonna throw away these dirty toothpicks
I hope this helps you out if you are
having this problem with your lightning
charger your USB charger port even your
headphone jack
