Charging Port Repair in Düsseldorf
The cable no longer holds, only charges in one particular position or not at all. Before we replace anything, we take a look — very often there is simply lint stuck in the port.

Before we start
When the cable no longer holds properly
- The cable sits loosely and slips out
- It only charges while you hold the cable in place
- Charging is very slow
- Your computer no longer recognises the device
- You can see dirt or lint in the port
The charging port is a wear part. Every day a cable goes into it, often in the dark and with some pull on it. At some point the plug sits looser than it used to, and then the device only charges when the cable lies in a particular position.
The most common reason, however, is not a defect at all: over months, lint from your pocket collects in the port. The plug can then no longer go in deep enough, and the contacts do not touch properly. In many cases a clean solves the problem completely — and costs very little accordingly.
If you would like to clean it yourself, use a wooden toothpick and switch the device off first. Please do not use anything made of metal: it quickly bends the contacts inside, and a clean turns into a replacement.
If cleaning does not help, we repair the charging port. On most devices it sits on its own small component; on some models it is soldered firmly to the main logic board — we do both here in our own workshop. We tell you in advance which case applies to you.
How it works with us
Narrow down the cause
We check whether it is the port, the cable or actually the battery. From the outside these often look the same.
Clean and test again
First we clean the port properly. If everything works afterwards, that is all it takes.
Replace only if needed
If the problem remains, we replace the port and test charging and data transfer.
Connectors we see most often
- USB-C on Android and from iPhone 15
- Lightning on iPhone 5 to iPhone 14
- Micro-USB on older Android devices
- iPad and Android tablets
- Charging port that also serves as the headphone connection

What you should know about charging port repair
My phone won't charge anymore. Is it the charging port or the battery?
You can't tell for sure from the outside, and the difference matters because the price differs a lot. One clue: if the cable wobbles or only charges in a certain position, that points to the port. If the device charges normally but drains quickly, it points to the battery. We check both and then tell you which one it is.
Can the charging port be repaired, or does it have to be replaced?
Often a cleaning is enough, and that is the most common case we see: lint from your pocket has collected in the port, so the plug no longer goes in deep enough. We clean the port first, and that often solves the problem. We only need to replace it if the contacts are really worn out or broken off.
Can I clean the charging port myself?
Carefully, yes, with a wooden toothpick and the device switched off. Please don't use anything made of metal: it can easily bend the contacts inside, and a simple cleaning turns into a replacement. If you're unsure, we'll quickly do it for you.
How long does a charging port replacement take?
On most devices it takes 20 to 60 minutes. If the port is soldered directly onto the logic board, we solder in a new one here in our workshop. We tell you beforehand what your device needs.
