Charging port repair in Gulfport
Before you buy a new phone because it won't charge: a surprising number of "dead" charging ports are just packed with pocket lint. We check that first, and we tell you when that's all it was.
Diagnose It

Step 1 of 3
What causes this
- Lint compacts at the bottom of the port until the cable can't seat fully.
- Cable strain bends the internal contacts.
- Corrosion after liquid exposure.
- Cheap or damaged cables wearing the port over time.
Symptoms to look for
- Cable feels loose or falls out
- Charges only at a specific angle
- Charging starts and stops repeatedly
- No response at all when plugged in
Repair options
Pricing depends on your exact model and what we find. Call or text and we'll give you a straight answer.
Port cleaning
The first thing we try. If cleaning solves it, that's what you pay for — not a port replacement.
Port replacement
A known-issue soldering job we do in store: the old port comes off and a new one goes on.
Clear next steps
We check the port first and tell you exactly what we found before any work starts.
What you can safely try
- Try a different cable and wall adapter.
- Shine a light into the port and look for lint.
- Try wireless charging if supported — if that works, the port is the problem.
When to stop
- Don't dig with metal — you'll bend the contacts and turn a cleaning into a replacement.
- Don't force a cable that won't seat.
Before you come in
- Bring your usual cable and charger.
- Bring your passcode.
