We have the tools to gently and effectually clean out your blocked charging port. Our tools include lightly compressed air and hand-tools to remove built up lint and dirt that collects and results in charging port blockages.

Can my charging issue be something else?
In some cases charging issues can be the port itself or other parts of the phone, however cleaning out the port and test is the best first step to rule out a blockage.
Can I clean out my jammed port myself?
There are some products out there to clean your charging port yourself, however it is always best to get a professional due to the small and fragile parts inside some types of charging ports.

We advise against using a cotton swap as they are often larger then the charging port and USB-C and Micro USB charing ports have delicate internal parts which will break easily and would need to be replaced if damaged.
