Loose Lightning Port (springs?)

Block Image

Hello,

I tried charging my iPad but it only works with some charging cables and sometimes in only one direction. It also would say “Not Charging”. It also holds the cable loose. I took a look inside and found that the right tab that holds the cable is inward. How can I let it back out? And can this be a battery issue? Thanks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hey there,

Could possibly attach an image so I could have a look and help you?

Regards,

Myron.

Does it work with an original Apple charging cable? If yes, most probably it needs a new lightning port but if it does not and it only charges using a copy cable then it might need a charging chip replacement... Any how you can try your luck by changing the lightning port

@iammyron07 It works an original with one side, not at all with a different original, and both sides with an Anker MFI certified.

@iammyron07 My battery was also having issues (fast discharge, incorrect reading, etc.) as well, could that be the case?

A worn or damaged charger port can be cleaned but if cleaning does not fix it then charge port replacement is required .
