Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Check Charging Port               

• Note: Images here are from the internet for reference only but not from me
• Check the charging port at the bottom of the phone. I used a magnifying glass with light to see because these are very small.

Step 2

              Check the pins               

• When I checked the pins in my phone, I saw 3. with the one on the rightmost having 2 layers. This was because one of them was bent making it look like there were only 3 instead of 4
• I used a needle to push the bent pin. After a few pushes, it started charging again!
• Reminder: be very careful when pushing the pins. I only did this because my phone was not charging at all and I was ready to get a replacement for the charging port if it still didn’t work
