Pins in the charging port being defective?

I'm having a problem with the pins in my charging port.  I have not abused this phone, yet I'm being told that that only way the pins could be broken is because the phone has been mishandled.  I've had phones and smart phones for 21 years. I have never had this problem.  I am told that it's not under warranty.  Something is fishy.

    No need to worry batman3cars! We would love to help out today. What seems to be occuring with your charging port? Please share some details, thanks!

    It is pretty short so here is the entire text:
    Symptoms
    A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
    Resolution
    Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
    Which is exactly what eelw wrote.

  • How do I get the charging port cover open on my I-pad, so that I can insert the charger?

    I'm trying to connect an Ipad to a USB charger (30 pin, I believe) there is a little black plastic cover over what appears to be the charging port. How do I get this to open ?

    There is no charging port cover on the iPad. Do you have a case on your iPad? It may have a cover. If so, you'll need to consult any documentation that came with the case.

  • My Macbook pro charging adapter is fine, but when plugged into the charging port it needs to be pressed down to charge and buzzes.

    My charging adapter is fine but when I plug it into the charging port on the macbook it only works if I press down on it and it buzzes slightly. What is wrong and how much will it cost to fix?

    Check the charger connection to the MBP.  The pins are spring loaded and should be able to move freely.  Look into the charge port of the MBP and make certian that there is no dirt or debris inside.
    There should be NO noise when connected to the charger.  If so, bring the MBP and the charger for a FREE evaluation at an Apple store genius bar.

    Clean charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If something more than dust, dirt, debris is present, clean with toothbrush and a small amount (drop) of Isopropyll Alcohol. The pins are on top of the dock midrib.

  • My iPad charger broke inside the charger port, anyone have an idea on how to fix or take it out I tried needle nose pliers and it did not fit

    My IPad4 charger seems to have snapped inside the charger port.  Do anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Can you post the Kernel Panic report, it may offer some clues:

    However, I'm guessing that incompatible RAM is the likely problem, especially if the problem goes away when you revert to the original RAM. It's worth mentioning that there have been many, many reports on here where users have experienced KP's after upgrading to 32gb of RAM. Swapping the RAM for a known 'good' brand usually solves the problem.
    These two companies are regularly recommended as being the best places to buy from and they'll guarantee their RAM works:

  • HT1476 My Ipod Touch 5 is not charging.  Checked the cord and cleaned out the charging port.  Any ideas on what is wrong?

    My iPod touch (5th generation) is not charging.  I have checked the cord and cleaned out the charging port and it still won't charge.  Any ideas or suggestions?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use. I do ot know what youmeant by "have checked the cord ")
    - 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 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.

  • The charging cable now longer fits all the way in the charging port.  I can't see if any lint is in there, but if there is how can I get it out?

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.

  • 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.

  • My iphone wont charge can the charging port be repaired or replaced

    my iphone wont charge can the charging port be replaced or repaired

    Apple does not repair devices at all.
    As stated, you can elect to find a local repair shop to do the work, but understand that Apple does not sell parts either.
    Alternatively, you can choose to do an Out of Warranty replacement via Apple and get a 90 day warranty on the replacement device.
    Another option would be to replace the device with a more current model.

    If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
    Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.

  • Why won't my iPod 4 connect through the charger port to a few devices?

    Whenever I plug it in to charge or plug it into my computer to add music, it works perfectly. However, I am unable to plug it into a Sony speaker and play music from it. I am also unable to plug it into the glovebox port of a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. However, my cousin, who bought hers the same time I bought mine, can play music from hers to the speakers and to the car. I know the charger port of my iPod works, and I know there's nothing wrong with the car or the speakers, so I am very confused as to why it isn't working.
    My iPod 4 is in good shape and I have had this issue since purchasing. I do have an iPhone 5, so the iPod isn't a priority. If this is an issue that requires a trip to the Apple store, it's not worth it.

    Does your home theater system state it support iPod/iPhone?  It is possible it requires a special dock as well. You will have to check the manual that came with that system, or with their support web site.
