Charging Repair in Franklin, MA
Loose, dirty, or dead charging ports cleaned or replaced so your device charges every time. We diagnose whether it is debris, a worn connector, or a failed port, then clean or replace the connector and test charging and data. The connector type depends on your device: older and budget Android phones use micro-USB, modern Samsung, Pixel, and Android phones use USB-C, and iPhones use Lightning through the iPhone 14 and USB-C on the 15 and 16 — each is a different soldered board part, so we confirm yours before fitting a replacement. iFixPhones handles charging repair for customers across Franklin, MA and nearby towns, typically in under an hour.
Devices we cover: iPhone (Lightning), USB-C Samsung / Pixel / Android, and tablets.

Charging Repair — questions
Is it the port or the battery?
We diagnose free — often it is just lint packed in the port or a worn connector rather than the battery.
Can a charging problem just be lint?
Often, yes. Compacted pocket lint at the bottom of the port is one of the most common causes of "charges only when held at an angle" — we clean and test it first before recommending a connector replacement.
Does my phone use USB-C, Lightning, or micro-USB?
Modern Samsung, Pixel, and Android phones use USB-C; iPhones use Lightning through the 14 and USB-C on the 15 and 16; some older budget phones still use micro-USB. They are different parts, so we match the exact connector to your model.
How long does the repair take?
Most charge-port repairs are completed the same day.
My iPhone 15 or 16 charges slowly with a USB-C cable — is the port bad?
Not always. The 15 and 16 switched to USB-C, and slow charging is often a cheap or non-compliant cable or charger that does not negotiate the right power, or lint packed into the new port — we clean and test with a known-good USB-C PD charger before deciding the soldered port itself needs replacing.
Is the charging port a quick swap or does it need soldering?
It depends on the phone. On many Samsung, Pixel, and Motorola models the USB-C port sits on a small removable sub-board — a charging flex that unplugs — so it is a faster, lower-cost swap. On iPhones and some slim Androids the port is soldered straight to the main logic board, which needs micro-soldering, so we confirm which design yours uses before quoting.
