The state of health of your mobile's battery is essential to ensure that autonomy reaches the end of the day. However, on more than one occasion it is possible that the loading of the same is wrong or even non-existent. whatWhat to do if your iPhone does not charge? Here we show you different checks that you can do.
With each passing year, the internal components of the iPhone – and smartphones In general, they are more powerful. And it is that the demands of the different applications mean that these must be the latest in the market. Therefore, the batteries of smart phones must be larger and be up to any demand from the user. However, one of the most common mistakes with batteries is that they may not charge. And the reasons can be various.
Before carrying out any checks and to be sure that it is a charging port failure, if your iPhone supports wireless charging, check that the smartphone Apple reacts to wireless charging. If so, we leave you with some solutions to the problem of charging with cable.
The charging port may be dirty
It's not nonsense. And it is that the charging ports of the iPhone are one of the most unprotected hardware parts of the Apple mobile. In addition, to this we must add that we usually carry it in our pants pockets, in a backpack, a bag, and even leave it on surfaces that may be dirty.
And that is why the port can get dirty and we don't realize it. Therefore, what we recommend is that you proceed to clean it. Always use utensils that do not damage. For example, you can use compressed air, a toothbrush, or use a small blow on the port. This will cause the dirt to come off and the charging cable to make contact with the pins.
Change the charging cable on the iPhone
Another possible reason for not getting any response from the iPhone when we put it to charge is that the cable we are using is not in optimal condition or has simply stopped working. That is why if you have another cable, try to try it. The connector of the old cable may be damaged and the connections with the iPhone are not correct.
Likewise, manufacturers generally recommend that users always use original cables –or certified and compatible cables– for the charges, as well as the charger. The charging powers can vary and with a different one we can end up damaging the useful life of the battery. Nothing else happens, but it will make us spend money on a replacement ahead of schedule.
As you well know, in the iPhone settings and more specifically in the battery section, you can know what is the health status of the battery of your model. If you find that its optimal state drops too quickly, don't wait and take it to an official technical service as soon as possible. It may be an error with the battery that mounts your unit.
Perform a reset on the iPhone
Tu smartphone it is a miniature computer. You will have noticed that over the years the efforts that we can do from the mobile have reached unsuspected limits. In short: we can do everything. And like any computer, from time to time it can become overloaded and stop working properly.
Apple –and other manufacturers– recommend on many occasions to practice the famous reset of the terminal to be able to let it work correctly. And the battery charge may be affected by this matter. Likewise, the same manufacturer recommends that after reset the iPhone, leave it plugged into a power outlet for –minimum– 30 minutes of the clock.
Do not use USB ports with low power
Another reason that can cause your iPhone not to charge the battery is that you are using a USB port that does not have enough power to offer the necessary energy so that the smartphone can be charged.
Therefore, check that you are not using USB ports of an accessory such as a keyboard, For example. Also, he checks that the charger you are using really works: try using that same charger with other equipment and see if the latter reacts to the charge it receives from the cable.
iPhone stops charging at 80 percent
Another possible case in the extensive world of battery charges is that it reaches a maximum load of 80 percent and at that point the power supply stops. This is due to overtemperatures in the mobile. And so that the battery does not reach extreme temperatures and can continue to offer optimal service, charging will only pause.
As soon as the temperature drops, charging will resume. But if you want to avoid this situation, try to charge the iPhone in a well-ventilated location and that the ambient temperature is not very high.
iPhone has previously gotten wet
Many of the breakdowns of the terminals are caused by accidents. And one of the most common is that the smartphone has gotten wet. Also, it may not have fully come to be, but in the midst of our daily commute it has started to rain and water has accidentally entered the charging port.
Therefore, before proceeding with your upload, wait a moment and do not charge the mobile and, above all, do not turn it on if you do not want the internal circuitry to suffer irreparable damage. Also, never use hair dryers because both the extreme heat and the possibility of water spreading over more components portend a less than happy ending.
Therefore, before proceeding to charge the iPhone again, dry all its components with a dry cloth. And in holes like the Lightning port, use an ear stick. Although an interesting solution is to be able to use anti-humidity bags and submerge the terminal in them.
If no advice works and your iPhone does not charge the battery
As we have told you before, it is possible that the error is from the factory and the charger or cable that was supplied with the iPhone does not work correctly. Therefore, if none of the tips that we have left you work, it's time to resort to an official Apple service with your iPhone, charging cable and charger. Once in an official Apple establishment, they will be the ones who will evaluate what happens with the charge of your terminal.
