Part 1: Check your charging cable and USB adapter<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Test if there's a problem with the USB cable you're using by connecting the iPhone to your computer or power adapter. Check if there is any signs of damage, like breakage or bent prongs. Don't use damaged accessories. And one of the most common reasons why an iPhone wont charge comes from low-quality 3rdparty non-Apple charger cables.<\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/div>\nPart 2: Remove any debris from the charging port<\/strong><\/h2>\n
This isn't a very common problem, but it's possible that debris from your pockets or purse or dust from surroundings build up over time could be jammed into either the iPhone's charging port (also known as lightning connector) on the bottom of your device or your USB cable. If there are debris blocks the electricity to reaching the iPhone battery, a normal toothpick, SIM card tool, a bobby pin, or a small needle or a can of compressed air would be ideal tools to clean it. To be safe, back up your data to your computer or the cloud ahead. Power it off before cleaning. You will be amazed how much can get clogged in the port. Connect the charger and see if it works. Still having problems? You probably needs Genius Bar service.<\/p>\n
<\/a> <\/div>\nPart 3: Change a USB cable or wall charger<\/strong><\/h2>\n
To ensure your USB cable has no problem, try plugging your iPhone into another USB cable of your friends or families. If you find that it is your USB cable that's broken, you can buy a new one. And to test the USB port, you can try plugging in another USB device that you know for sure works. That can help you rule out that the problem is with your USB ports. If you're charging your iPhone using a wall charger power adapter (rather than by plugging it into your computer), it could be the adapter that's preventing your iPhone from charging. Just get another power adapter and try to charge your phone with that (alternatively, you could also try charging via a computer instead). If it\u2019s the problem of wall charger, change it. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\nPart 5: Repair or replace hardware<\/strong><\/h2>\n
It\u2019s easy to fix when it\u2019s a software or cable problem. While, it\u2019s often costly and frustration when comes to hardware issues. If the iPhone has external damage or a component is broken, it often wont charge. Usually a simple screen crack won't make a difference, but if the iPhone was improperly treated liquid exposure or water damage, or has severely damaged, it is probably toast and wont charge because the damage of hardware. <\/p>\n
