Not Charging, possible loose charging port.

I have a 2007 Toshiba Satellite laptop.
I believe that my charging port is loose and I'm just wondering if I can open up the back and tighten it or something?
It plugs in but does not charge and the charging port in the computer wiggles around.
Is there a fix?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Dozib,
There's a "Resolving issues" section in this article which has some additional steps to try.

Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,

Macbook will not charge port problem

Hello, My MACBOOK 2010 will not charge. I replaced the battery about 9 months ago but I received a "SERVICE BATTERY " warning. I was trying to charge my MAC and sparks came from the port and now it will not charge at all. I really hope I have not ruined my computer. If anyone has a suggestion , I would greatly appreciate any and all help.
THANKS JENN

Hmm, I did manage to get it charging again, but it still must be in that one specific position. Do you think a new adapter is still the way to go?
Most definitely. Malfunctioning electrical devices can be very dangerous. On the off-chance, you may wish to stop by an Apple Store and see if they are feeling generous.

My iphone 4s is not charging anymore.

My iphone 4s is not charging anymore. But the strange thing is if I turn off the phone, it is charging without any issues.
So the issue seems to be like it cannot charge when ios is loaded.
I have tried to,
1. Reset the phone ( No luck)
2. Confirmed its not charging port/battery problem
Also, when connected to pc, it says usb device cannot be recognized
Please suggest what to do to fix it

Try a different sync cable.
Clean the dock connector on the device.
Plug the device into a wall outlet, does it charge?

Charger port is loose?

Hey,
I'm not sure if this should be in this thread, so sorry if it's in the wrong place.
My charger port in my laptop has came a little loose, I had to shake the charger a bit as I plugged it in to get the light to show it was charging. I plugged it in this morning and it won't charge anymore but I'm being very confused in that it says it's not charging but the battery life has gone up 30% since I turned it on.
Does anyone know the best way to go about getting this fixed? The quicker the better if possible, I have a lot of my final college stuff to be done soon and I can't really afford to have my laptop away for extended periods of time.
Cheers

This is not ciovered by warranty and the only fix HP would know to do is to replace the motherboard at a cost of about $400. If you are still getting a trickle charge you can likely use the laptop for a while yet. Just keep it plugged in all the time and keep the battery as charged as possible. When your college finals are over you will want to take it to a local computer shop not one of the big box stores and ask if they know how to resolder the AC adapter port module. There is at least one shop that can do it in any major city. The cost is likely to be about $100-200. There are also internet services but sending it out would mean you were without the laptop for at least 3 or 4 days if not longer.

Loose magnetic connector/charger port......?

Hi, i have had my phone for about 7 months now. It's well looked after and has never been dropped or put in any water, thankfully. However I have just noticed that my magnetic connector/charger port seems/is loose. It's something that I don't use at all.
The other night i t just appeared to be sitting out further at one end so I pushed on it and it moved quite a bit. The other end doesn't move at all.
Has anyone else had this issue?

Since downloading latest OS (07?) on my 4G-S can't use regular charger. Phone blinks and bleats but does not charge. Can charge in car and from computer keyboard port. Much slower.

Since downloading os 7.1 to my Iphone 4G-S I have been unable to charge it on the regular charger. I can use my USB port on my keyboard and my car charger but when I hook up to my regular charger the phone blinks on and off and bleets little beeps and does not charge. Ipowered off and on again with no success.

No such model exists, therefore there cannot possibly be an issue with it.
If it works with other chargers, that would indicate a problem with the charger.

Phone wont charge.....charging port is loose

So, this is my 4th phone and am now waiting on the 5th relpacement. Each phone has had the same issue where the charging port is loose and then the phone wont hold a charge. I took to verizon store at lunch today and the saleswoman said that she hadnt heard of this issue with these phones. I asked her to replace with something equivilant that would not have this issue and of course was told that verizon could not do anything for me but order yet another replacement. now have to wait two days for a replacement and this is my sole phone that my kids use to call me on. The phone will die before the end of the day and I am out of luck. I am frustrated by the way that verizon did not really want to work with me and I am over having to replace the phone ever 2-3 months.
Is there a fix short of replacing.....and is this a known issue with these phones??

Temp fix is a do it your self deal. 1. Power down phone. 2. Using as fine point machinist or eye glass screw driver or needle tip, (Razor blade works good) squeeze the female port together from around the outside edge making the hole more tight. Do not try this with a loved one, phone only. It will work for a few more day till you get the new one. Do not tell Version you did this as they will have an excuse to denies responsibility for replacement or repair.

My ipod will not charge will either a Memorex docking station or USB port on Windows based operating system. It did work at first but even after charging overnight I get a low battery warning and turn off.

I downloaded music from a Mac at my daughters house when I first got my Ipod several years ago and everything was fine. I continued to use a Memorex charging station (travel speaker). About 6 months ago it failed to charge on the docking station so I tried my USB port on my computer. It would not charge either but I also got a message saying I needed to reconfigure the Ipod to Windows (my operating system) but would loose all my data. Ouch! Any suggestions?

I would charge it for at least an hour (vice the two minutes you did) and then try resetting it. I am afraid that there may be internal damage that is causing the problem and repair is the ony option. Apple's prices are:

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.

My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs.
You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters.
But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing. It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.

IPhone 5s is not charging in my car USB port.

Hi everyone, I am new to posting here in the apple support community so please forgive me.
Last weekend I recently just purchased the iPhone 5s - my first iPhone (I have previously owned iPods, iTouch and the Macbook Pro; so I am familiar with Apple products). My car (Hyundai Accent 2012) has a USB port near the cigarette charging port, along with an aux cable port. My previous android phones were able to be charged using the appropriate cord through the USB port, as well as my iPods and iTouch. However, when I attempt to use the USB port, to charge my new iPhone 5s, it wont charge whatsoever. The lightning bolt, on the iPhone, will flicker and then finally I will get a pop up stating that the charging device is not supported by Apple. Is there any way that I can change this in my phone settings? Because, the car USB port has worked for other devices and iPods in the past. I have even used the same cord that came with the iPhone and it still does not work. So, I know it's not a cord issue.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thank you!

It's not working with my Hyundai either. Apple did something with the USB port when they came out with IOS7. It worked fine with IOS6. Now you have to sync your phone in the car using Bluetooth and the sound quality is horrible. They need to fix this!

My lightening charger is not fitting snug into the charging port

Hello. I am having trouble with the lightening charger for my iPhone 5. When I plug it in, the phone makes the sound that it always does, indicating that it is charging. Then, it starts making the noise over and over. The lightening charger is not fitting snug into the charging port. I tried cleaning it out and got a big ball of lint out, but the issue remains. It is hard to get a charge, I have to place my phone down and finagle the lightening cord so that it will charge. I have a Genius Bar appointment, but it isn't until the end of the week. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm also having this issue with my car charger, so I know its not the lightening cord that came with the phone that is causing the problems.

Make a Genius Bar appointment before you make the drive.

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.
