My iPhone Won’t Charge! The Real Fix From A Former Apple Tech.

Hi people, my list is David from Payette Forward. And Im David from Payette Forward. In this video, we’re going to show you whatto do when your iPhone won’t charge. There are four main components in the iPhonecharging process. That’s right. The first one is the power source itself, which could be the wall charger or your computer or the car charger. The second is the lightning cable or chargercable. The third is the charging port on the bottomof your iPhone. And the fourth is the iPhone software itself. Now for the first step in this video, we’regoing to walk you through a reasonably typical scenario at the Apple Store. I’ll be the customer. David will be the ticking. All privilege. It’s been a while, but I can recollect howit croaks. Hey, what’s going on with your iPhone? Well won’t turn on it’s not charged and Imissed my son’s birthday because I couldn’t get the Calendar app open. I missed a very important call from effort. And now I don’t get the promotion they gaveit to sue instead.I time drove four hours here from Plattsburghand you fixed my iPhone in 15 seconds. How did you do that? Well, I did a hard reset on your iPhone. Well, I call the Apple support line. I have an iPhone 7 said that he wished to do a hard resetby holding down the power button and the capacity. Down button, and they said if I had an iPhone6 or older that I would have had a hold down the superpower button and the dwelling button rightfor how long about 510 seconds, right? So here’s the truth. You thought you would hard-bitten reset your iPhone, but you didn’t hold down the buttons for long enough. And this was a super of the Apple Store peoplewould come in and say exactly what David only did I’d encumber the iPhone comprised the buttons downfor not just 5 or 10 seconds, but maybe deem him down for 20 seconds or 30 seconds becauseif there’s a problem with your iPhone, it time may take a little bit longer to turnon. So make sure you really try to hard-boiled resetyour iPhone before you go into the Apple Store do anything else. So let’s say the hard-boiled reset didn’t work.The next thing to do is go through each ofthe components of the billing process and scrutinize those four detriment, right? So let’s begins with the influence adapter nowif it’s your computer or the car charger or the wall adapter just take a close look insidefor any debris or Gunk that may have gotten in there that could be interfering with thecharging process. Now I recommend just exerting the flashlighton your iPhone. Another iPhone to take a look inside. I’ll turn on my flashlight now all sorts ofstuff can get in there now don’t use a gem clip or anything sharp-worded or metal because thatcan cause problems with static energy and it can do physical damage caused to your iPhoneor other components. So Apple Stores employ this conception anti-staticbrush. You can get a entire pack of five of thesefor five bucks on Amazon give it to your adolescents give it to your neighbors. And then uh, if you don’t have an anti-staticbrush at home, which most people don’t um implement my other favorite anti-static a toothbrush, but not a toothbrush like that that you’ve ill-used this morning because the moisture fromyour cheek can cause serious damage the internal a portion of your iPhone or your chargerthought it could cause a problem severely spitting toothpaste.So let’s use the situated of my toothbrush. Let’s use on toothbrush that we never usedbefore and brand-new gently brush out employing a circular flow considerably better that’s in there. Okay. So the other way to do this is just simplytry using a friend’s charger. That’s probably the easier style to do. We’re too just trying to plug it in the cartry a different charger. Okay, next stair. Let’s say the charger didn’t work.I phone stolen charge. We’re going to move on to the lightning cable. Now. This is a cable that’s in very poor condition. It’s my cable feels like you’re judge me, but let’s move on. Okay, so I phone cables are susceptible toFrank, uh, perhaps your “cat-o-nine-tail” to it. Maybe you leave it outside and you have arodent problem. But either way, uh, take a close look at thelightning cable itself. Make sure that there isn’t any damage nowalso just like the wall charger take a look inside the USB side of your lightning cableto make sure there isn’t any gunk in there. If you need to, you know, brush it off andjust like with the wall charger though.Just is an attempt Friends Cape. Yep. Now let’s talk abruptly about Apple cablesand licensed cables versus a inexpensive table. You’ll been able to find your service station, right? So what an MFi licensed cable is is it certifiedby Apple to actually work with iPhones MFi certification is only given to particular manufacturersof iPhone cables. So if you’re buying a$ 3 Cable of the gasstation. It’s probably not my certified and it couldhave all sorts of questions. Now, where can they get a great certifiedcable? Right? Well, apparently Apple cables are all certifiedbut other arranges have cheaper competent. So we cherish this amazonbasics cable.I actually use this one next to my pa andthis is a 6 paw high phone. Very long table, right? Yep. It’s great. I can use it bet you get it on Amazon. Look at how long that cable is. Oh, so how do you know if an iPhone cableis my certified what you need to do is take a look and look for this induced for iPod iPhoneand iPad logo. If you see that that it’s verified. If you don’t then the cable is not all right. So check the charger. We’ve checked the cable. What’s next? Let’s look at the blaming port on the bottomof the iPhone. Now, you might be surprised about how muchGunk can get into this lint from your pocket or dirt or peanut butter or any I’ve seenlots of things.Here rice rice rice is like one of the mostcommon problems that you’ll find at the Apple Store people will come in their iPhone won’tcharge and they’ll say yeah, I don’t know what’s going on. You look inside. There’s a cereal of rice inside the chargingport and I’ll say like well where you at a nuptial did somebody throw it in but the truthis and patently they declined it in spray and they didn’t want to say anything but theyhadn’t looked in there and actually sometimes rice is really really hard to get out of there.So never use rice to run dry an iPhone itcan sometimes ruin an iPhone. That would have come back to life. I’ve seen that multiple times at the AppleStore. So same deal with the bottom of the iPhonebrush it out gently with anti clean or toothbrush. So now we’ve checked the cable the chargerand the lightning port on your iPhone. The last-place thing here is the iPhone software, right? And the iPhone software is probably the mostimportant part of the iPhone charging process because it’s the software that decides whetherto charge your iPhone when you plug it in. So how do we secure that trouble to fix the softwareproblems? We’re gonna have to do a dfu restore on youriPhone software now, it’s kind of tricky to do especially with your first time.Fortunately, I made a special video walkingyou through the entire process and we’ll link to that below. Yep. You should always do a dfu recover it beforeyou think it’s a hardware problem because the dfu recover is an apple Tech’s last-ditcheffort to fix any software difficulties before they decide if it’s a equipment trouble. So if you go on to the Apple Store, the probablyjust get it on if you rehabilitate regardless, right? So make sure that you do it at home beforeyou go in and you could end up wasting hours of your day, right? So you do the dfu rehabilitate that didn’t work. You may need to get a restored first off. There’s apple right apple is a good choiceif your iPhone’s at our assurance and it’s not shattered returning it to the Apple Store. They’ll probably give you a new telephone nowthe caveat with going through apple is that if your iPhone won’t charge and they needto let’s say sterilize a problem with the accusing port Apple will give you an entirely new iPhone.So that will mean that you lose all the dataon your iPhone and that could be tragic. I’ve seen people cry before now there areother options for repairing iPhones that won’t charge and one of our favorites is CellSavers.
