Lightning port too loose?
Looking for suggestions or similar symptoms to diagnose.
Lightning cables will just not stay in this phone if either is even shifted to the slightest. Unscientific measure; I used to be able to pick up the dropped phone by the cord alone without disconnect. Now ANY pull or pressure and the cord comes out. I don't see any debris in port, but my eyes aren't perfect. I can't tell if there are pressure levers or contacts that I see inside on left and right, and maybe one is bad?
YES, it still connects to laptop.
YES, it still charges fine.
YES, i tried original cable.
YES, i tried a NEW original cable.
YES, the cables 'pop' in/ fully seat.
NO, there is no case.
YES, i tried with a passthrough case.
help?
Is this a good question?
Worked for me. Thank you. I found that the lightning port was about 25% packed with lint. Pulled it out and now it works.
