Iphone and Charging

  1. Hello!

    So i have this iphone 5s, recently the charger wasnt working so well, always needing to wiggle it.

    Anyway i took a tac and cleaned the port, removing lots of lint! Now while using my phone while it’s plugged in, i constantly get the message “this accessory may not be supported” and poom! Charging ceased.

    It seems to continue charging while the phone is not in use.

    So i am possibly thinking a damaged port, which would enviably result in needing to buy a whole new phone.

    Has anyone else ever experienced this?

  4. I forget, does the 5s have lightning connector or the old iPhone charger? You might wanna get a compressed air can and spray it in the port in your phone. Don’t hold it too close, don’t want to damage anything else. A lot of shit can get stuck up there over time and can cause it not to connect to the charger well. I hope you get it working. But if not, sounds like you need an upgrade. The 5s is old news. I think it’s time for something new eh?
     
  5. Not sure about lightning connector/old charger. Since cleaning and keeping it up to date, it hasnt been happening as much, and its weird because this charger has always worked for me, but a different charger does work.

    Perhaps it’s the cord. Unfortunately phones cost so much. And this is working for now!
