Iphone6 not charging ... Charging port not working

I Bought iPhone 6 recently and it started acted funny with charging. It would charge only if I pally pressure on the cable at certain angle. Then I tried changing cables to even new ones and the pproblem did not go away. Then I visited the Apple strore, who tried cleaning it but no difference. I have been using iPhone products for over 6 years and never had this problem. The Apple Store then offered to replace the phone for $299 +taxes. Very disappointed that I am asked to pay such hefty amount for none of my fault. I am not sure if apple has cut corners and made cheaper quality product as I have seen several in the forum facing similar issues with charging . If anyone have suggestions on how to avoid such hefty price for replacement, you are welcome. I bought the phone on Jan 15,2015 and sad to know that it stopped working in three months. I am an average user and I handle the phone very gently. If no suggestions then probably it time for me to switch to non apple smart phones.

This is a user-to-user tech support forum.  If you have a broken Lighning port, there's nothing anyone here can do about it.  There are no user serviceable parts in iPhones, and any attempt to do so, even opening the iPhone case will revoke any further service from Apple and availablity  of an out of warrant replacement. (You would have to buy a new phone at full price.)
The iPhone warranty doesn't cover physical damage.

How could damage possibly be your fault?  I've never heard of owners damaging their phones.
You can try an independent iPhone repair center at your own risk - the same conditions apply as fixing it yourself.

Suit yourself.  No one here cares what products you buy.

  • My charger port wont work what do i do?

    Last night i put my ipod away in my bad (there was nothing in it) and it stopped charging this morning. I bought a new charger and everything. I know that i didnt break any part in the charger port but im not sure what to do. My ipod is on low battery and i really need the help.

    Not Charge
    - See:

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My Iphone 3gS is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging so the USB port is working properly. My wifes Iphone IS being recognized by the same laptop. My Iphone IS being recognized by the desktop computer and another laptop

    My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?

    The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
    Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version?

  • My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

    My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall  not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

  • IPod charge/sync port not working

    The charging/syncing port on my 1st gen iPod touch has begun to not work properly the last few days. It recognizes it is plugged in on and off, like a cable with a short in it. It is not the charging cable, I have used multiple cables both to the computer I'm on and the wall outlet adapter.
    Is there any idea what may be wrong? I'm afraid to try and sync to iTunes anymore because of the possibility of corrupting data.

    Did you check the docking port if there's any debris inside, keeping it from getting proper contact?

  • New charging port not working

    I recently have been having problems with my iPhone 5 charging port. I bought a replacement off amazon ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Generic-Headphone-Charging-Connector-Replacement/dp/B00E Y9RMTU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407765309&sr=8-1&keywords=iphone+5+charging+port ) and followed a video guide to replace it. Now that it is in, the speaker, home button, charging port and microphone aren't working. Could this be a problem with the replacement part or a problem with how i have installed it?
    Thanks

    Probably a problem with the install, Iphones are not meant to be user serviceable, and it voids all future support from Apple.
    and unfortunately, you have no one to blame but yourself.
    Sorry, Good luck.

  • The charging port is not working

    When I try to charge my phone the port at the bottom of my phone is not working. I've tried different cables and different plugs and tried it in my mac but none of these work. Also, there is a small mark inside the port which I believe to the be the problem. Can anyone help with this or has anyone else had the same problem?

  • Z30 charge port not working?

    I just got my z30 two or so weeks ago and for some reason it wont charge anymore. Slowly throughout the week the charge cord kept getting more stubborn in keeping it in charge mode. No other usb charge cord would work for this phone only the one given and now the phone doesnt even register the original charge cord when inserted at all. I'm guessing I have a faultly charge port and I need to exchange it but i'm just curious if anyone else has had this issue?

    Same problem.  Only registers charge of 5%.  The USP port connection seems sloppy.  Not happy.

  • My iphone 5 will not charge? i noticed it was taking a few attempts to charge since i installed ios7,but recently it stopped working all together i though it may be the charging port so i have had that replaced but that still hasn't worked

    my iphone 5 wont charge? I started to have difficulties charging it when I downloaded ios7 and over time it started to become more and more of a problem, then yesterday I thought it might have been the charging port so I got that replaced but it is still not charging. even with both of my chargers and a friends charger it didn't charge, does anyone have any idea what might be the problem? if its ios7 or the hardware? and what should I do i am still within warranty but I'm not sure if that still counts since it has had a part replaced, or would the apple store be able to help me out?

    Replacing the charging port (which is NOT user serviceable) has voided your warranty with Apple, and forfeited your abiltity to receive any further support on that phone, including from this forum.
    You'll need to look elsewhere for assistance.

  • Magnetic charging port not working

    The magnetic charging port in my phone came out with the charger, I sent it back to Sony for repair, and it arrived back today - it looks like a new case has been put on the phone rather than just the port being stuck back, but it now no longer charges using the Sony magnetic charger - is there a setting somewhere to enable it?  I checked the USB cable (which is plugged into the mains) and it charges the phone fine via the usb port, but plug the same cable into the official Sony magnetic charger/phone holder and nothing - this is the same charger and cable that has been charging the phone since last September, I also checked with a third party charger on the same USB cable and that didn't work either.  I prefer using the magentic charging as the usb cover is so flimsy I'm afraid of it breaking off. The phone is running Android 5.0.2 and update says it is up-to-date.

    Sorry to hear this but you would need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have your device inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

  • Dropped my phone in my cereal bowl and took it out immediately. I let it sit in rice and it's still working. I noticed i could not charge the phone. The charged wuld not go in the charging port of the cell phone. What do I do? Please help me!

    Placed it in a bowl of rice. Cannot connect charger to charging port. Pleae give advise on what to do. Thank you

    Thank you for your advise! I didn't even think about a grain of rice blocking the entrance to the port. I just assumed it was Apple's way of blocking any form of liquid to get in the system. You are right, there was one grain that was blocking the port. I finally was able to remove it and now I can charge my phone again. Have a good day!

    I just bought an I pad 2 and im trying to charge it via a USB cord connected to my Dell.  It's not working please help

    Not all USB ports provide enough power to charge the iPad. It may charge very slowly while the screen is off. Charge it using the included charger and you should be fine.

  • My trackpad is not working properly and my battery won't charge

    Hi guys, yesterday my macbook probably suffered electrical shock and now my trackpad is not working properly, it's a bit slow and my battery won't charge. and also ethernet port is not working but wi-fi is , can you help me please ?

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

    If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have the computer and battery checked out.

  • Powerbook g4 charger not working, changed fuse and still no luck

    I've got a powerbook g4 laptop. A few nights ago the charger just stopped working. The wire is totally intact and we have tried changing the fuse within the plug but it keeps fusing out and still not working. I really don't want to buy a new charger as I've bought at least 6 over the last 5 years (through the wire fraying) AND replaced the battery once already. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
    Thanks!

    You must be remarkably hard on your adapter cords. I packed my Powerbook and adapter up and unpacked them again at least daily for six years and my original adapter is still working fine.
    If the port to which the adapter cord connects in your Powerbook is at all loose or wobbly, your DC-in card is shot, and that may explain why your fuse keeps blowing. If you're in the habit of tripping over your adapter cord, that would explain both the long sequence of ruined adapters and a broken DC-in port/card in the computer.
    Unless you plan to treat your adapter more gently in the future, buying an inexpensive third-party adapter instead of an Apple unit would be a good idea.
